A New York Post article about Stand by Me reports that director Rob Reiner almost cut the famous pie eating contest from the 1986 movie. The fake vomit used in that scene consisted of large-curd cottage cheese and blueberry pie filling.

    I first thought that scene was hilarious when I saw the movie in the 80’s; but on subsequent views of the movie, I skip it, since I consider the length excessive and distracting and the scene in poor taste when taken into consideration with the writer’s and producer’s primary goals for the book and script, respectively.

    I never analyzed it that thoroughly. I never liked hands-free eating.

    I wish he had cut the damned thing out. I would have enjoyed the movie more.
