Did you know
ā¢ Adam Baldwin has stated he will never do a role like The King ever again.
ā¢ Writer David Mickey Evans has stated that the script was much darker than the final film, and the child abuse angle was more prominent. When the film was taken over by Richard Donner, those elements were toned down. He also felt that the studio marketing "Radio Flyer" as a family film was a factor for the film's failure at the box-office.
ā¢ John Mazzello, the younger brother of Joseph Mazzello, appears as a school boy extra. Hannah Wood, the younger sister of Elijah Wood, appears as a school girl extra.
