I fell in love with River Phoenix after seeing this movie in the theater.
I even wrote a scene with me as the nephew of Sidney Poitier (I had a secret notebook of my thoughts and wishes at the time).
I was helping Jeff (River) escape Karpov by hiding him in the hood. However, we were found and Karpov tried to murder me, but Jeff's family saved us. Later, Jeff revealed that if I died, he wouldn't be able to tell me he was in love with me.
Silly, I know, but I was 14 and River was always on my mind.
