The film adaptation of Stephen King's Stand By Me is stacked with formerly up-and-coming actors like Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell, and Corey Feldman. After the recent tragic death of their director, Rob Reiner, the cast of the ‘80s flick reflects on being fortunate enough to work with him and at such young ages at that. One story that got my attention involved Reiner yelling F-bombs at the actors, which culminated in a truly sweet moment.
During their interview with Empire, some of the main surviving Stand By Me cast members spoke about one of the movie’s greatest moments—the all-time train dodge. On screen, it looked like a dangerous moment for the child actors to run away from an incoming train.
