Continuity mistake: In the scene where Two-Bit and Ponyboy are visiting Dally in the hospital, when Dally asks Two-Bit for his switchblade, he extends his right arm back for it, and his left arm is under the sheets. In the next shot, his left arm is extended backwards, even though there was no time to switch arms.
Revealing mistake: When Ponyboy and Dally visit Johnny at the hospital to tell him the Greasers won the rumble, Johnny dies in front of them. If you look closely in one shot, you can see slight breathing (rising and falling) under the cot blankets.
Continuity mistake: In the scene outside the theater where Bob and Randy confront Ponyboy, Two-Bit and Johnny for being with Cherry and Marcia, if you look behind them, Marcia gets in the Mustang twice.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, in the long shot, Dallas is leaning back against a lamppost with his knee bent and foot against the post, trying to light a cigarette. Cut to the close up, he's still trying to light the cigarette, but he's leaning in the pole with his shoulder.
