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.

When they are at the park/ fountain at night. When Ponyboy wakes up and is laying on the ground, he says He’s gonna be sick, and then gets sick, which can be seen and heard.

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.
