In the play production, a bunch of the characters start sitting in the audience and suddenly stand up...if you're junpy, I would ask the person passing out tickets about the part if the audience the cast will be sitting in, that way, you can avoid it

There's a scene in which Ponyboy is dreaming and there's a sudden loud train crashing into a car. It's not intended to be a jumpscare but can be startling. About 30 minutes into the movie.

It happens after he found out that Johnny killed Bob, it isn't that disturbing, though. It just sounds like he's choking and you see as much vomit as if someone spits a little.

It's only seen for about 2-3 seconds, but when Dally is in the hospital bed, he gets the knife from Two-Bit and makes 2 cuts on his arm, nothing graphic though. It doesn't show him doing it, just afterwards.

It’s not big and you have to really listen to hear it because there’s a fire roaring over it but one of them basically says that the reason someone couldn’t help was because they were too fat to fit through the church window.
