In the outsiders book Ponyboy gets sick in the end but not in the movie, also it says they're supposed to attend a trial because Johnny was accused of man slaughter (he killed Bob when Bob was drowning Ponyboy), but in the movie they don't have anything about that and we don't know what is happening because of it.

The film is an adaptation of the novel, which means things get changed around a bit. However, I don't think the differences are great enough to warrant a section on them. -Maverick 06:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

There is a section on the differences, at The Outsiders (novel)#Differences between the film and the novel. TheMadBaron 21:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I clearly remember being shown a black-and-white film adaptation of the novel at school around 1980. IMDb has no listing for this film. I saw the 1983 theater release, and also remembering thinking I liked the black and white version better, because it seemed older. Anyone else remember this? O0drogue0o 10:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I just watched the outsiders movie. i would like to see it in black and white though. it would probly be cool. Yes it would and you know it

[edit] Japanese voice cast

Who voices Johnny Cade in the Japanese dub of this film? Is it Ikue Ōtani (the voice of Pikachu on Pokémon) or Etsuko Kozakura (the Japanese actor that provides Littlefoot's voice in Japanese dubs of The Land Before Time films and TV series) or Rica Matsumoto (the Japanese voice of Ash Ketchum on Pokémon) or someone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.132.104 (talk • contribs)

• Could you please tell me who voices Johnny Cade in the Japanese dub of this film? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.132.104 (talk • contribs)

Is there any real reference to the voice actors on the Japanese version? Someone should seriously look this up, I'm not sure if this info is reliable.

Just wanted to add that Wiki says this article is too long and the plot section needs reducing. I'd like to add that my cousin used the Wiki entry as a pseudo "cliff notes" and asked for my advice (I'm a Professor, although not of literature). I think the extra detail will be useful for cliff-noting (is that a reasonable adverb?) the film by students. Cheers Pharmachick 02:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fan-made videos

I've got a fan-made video now! I dubbed Johnny Cade with Littlefoot's voice from The Land Before Time films.[1]

• Sorry, but that was with poor quality. Here's the one with better quality.[2]
  • Here's the full-length one with better quality and this time, the audio has better quality.[3]
