Patrick Swayze, the brothers Estavaz/Sheen, the karate kid, Matt Dillon (underrated), Rob Lowe, and Tom fucking Cruise. Plus the hot chick just happened to be Diane Lane. C Thomas Howell is the main character and by far the least famous.

Swayze has some solid acting range. He can play a twinky dancer who's also a high iq badass, a roofer raising two orphaned boys who's also a high iq badass, a scumbag dive bar bouncer who's also a high iq badass, and even a fucking dead guy reincarnated as a ghost who's also a high iq badass.

bro had some skills. RIP.

I don't know that an observation on casting is a "plot hole".

What is a plot hole in the original book is that SE Hinton is a woman who used a pseudonym so that her book would be measured by the standards of male authors and wouldn't be written off as chick lit, but the book actually sucks ass, totally feels like it's written by a woman pretending to be a man, and we would never have heard of The Outsiders, Tex, or SE Hinton were she not a woman.

yes, framing non-plot holes as plot holes is a schtick i'm trying out. see the wayne's world thread. doesn't mean i'm wrong with the observation and the book was fine and a relief from the tedious femanzi dreck they shoveled onto us in middle school and later in high school
