** The scene with the leeches in Wheaton's hand and...[[GroinAttack other]] places, however, was not real.
*** The ''pond'' wasn't even real. It was dug and decorated by the crew and lined with a hidden tarp. However, the "pond" was then left unattended in the woods in the middle of summer for half the shoot until it was time to film the scene, by which time it was slimy, stagnant, and arguably more disgusting than a natural pond would be. The actors didn't know this until they plunged in for the first time...meaning that the fact it looks like they're having such a great time is the ''opposite'' of this trope.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: [[https://variety.com/2016/film/news/stand-by-me-30th-anniversary-oral-history-corey-feldman-1201824490/ Just as production was beginning]], Creator/ColumbiaPictures bought Embassy, Creator/NormanLear's TV/film company which planned to distribute the film. This resulted in Lear having to fund the production himself ([[DoingItForTheArt having faith in the movie]]), but after going around Hollywood, they ultimately managed to get Columbia on-board to distribute after the daughters of Columbia's head of production loved the movie. This also resulted in a rename, as the original name, ''The Body'' sounded too generic (it was thought people would think the film would be horror, sex, or both); ''Stand By Me'' was Rob Reiner's creation and the "least unpopular option".
