!!The book:
* FlipFlopOfGod: During filming of the movie, Rob Lowe asked SE Hinton what happened to Sodapop later, and she said he would get drafted to Vietnam and die. Years later on Twitter however, she said she didn't view that as canon, and said that was merely something to help him get into character.
* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: As stated on the YMMV page, S.E. Hinton may ''not'' be homophobic, but she can get hostile if anyone mentions their sexuality headcanons for her characters, particularly [[HeterosexualLifePartners Ponyboy and Johnny]]. It has been reported that she even ''blocks'' some people on Twitter for calling her attention to the amount of SlashFic there is for ''The Outsiders''.
* StaffCreatedFanWork: S. E. Hinton published multiple anonymous fanfictions based on her own novel.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: SE Hinton had a greaser friend when she was fifteen, who one day got badly beaten up at school, and she was so upset about it she began to write the book.

!!The movie:
* CreatorRecovery: Francis Ford Coppola had been reeling from the disaster that was ''Film/OneFromTheHeart'', which was his worst flop and went DirectToVideo when he pulled it from theatres after only a week. When a group of school children sent him a letter asking him to adapt ''The Outsiders'', he read the book and immediately wanted to make the movie.
** Diane Lane also had a massive crush on Leif Garrett, lending credence to her scenes with Bob.

** According to SE Hinton, in the restored cut where Sodapop runs away, the piece of paper he's holding is a DearJohnLetter from Sandy - whom he had hoped to marry. Sandy had cheated on Soda and gotten pregnant, so she moved to Florida to live with her grandmother.
** During filming, Creator/RobLowe asked Hinton what happens to Sodapop Curtis. Hinton responded that Sodapop is drafted to Vietnam and dies there. She later said that she didn't view that as canon, and it was just something to help him get into character.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The book is one for 1960s America and its depiction of teen gangs based on subcultures are very clearly a reflection of the times; note that the presence of greasers (and arguably the lack of hippies, who ARE present in some of Hinton's slightly later novels), very specifically sets it in the early to mid 1960s, rather than the later part of the decade. (The movie, on the other hand, is an intentional period piece, as it wasn't made until the 1980s but was still set in 1965.)

** Creator/NicolasCage auditioned for the role of either Darry or Dallas. He did some MethodActing for the part by locking himself in a room for two weeks, drinking beer and staring at a photograph of Creator/CharlesBronson, hoping that the physical and mental attitude of playing a thug would rub off on him. Creator/FrancisFordCoppola turned him down and told him to audition for the part of Two-Bit, but Cage was so fed up at this point from all his hard work, being in vain, that he walked away from the project.

** While Ponyboy and Johnny are best friends in the novel and film, Creator/CThomasHowell recalls often not getting along with Ralph Macchio, saying he was very serious and professional. He remembers a specific argument dealing with him wanting to beat his high score on ''VideoGame/{{Pacman}}'' and Macchio demanding they rehearsed their lines. Their differences could be attributed to the fact that Howell was only 16 years old and Macchio was 20 years old at the time.

** In the poster for the film, the Greasers are shown laughing as Johnny is smirking. This was a candid shot, taken during the photo session in which the actors were supposed to look tough at the camera. What happened was that Leif Garrett (Bob, the Soc) was approaching the food table off-camera, and a stagehand (who did not know who Garrett was) said, "The food is for the talent (meaning the actors)," and Ralph Macchio sarcastically said, "Yeah, it's for the TALENT!" This comment cracked up the cast, and the photo was used.
