Hold on there. You left out some things.
Before Ponyboy starts picking up hitchhikers he finds out his real parents are James Garner and Shirley Jones. He turns into a preppy Army Brat. He ends up in a Georgia prison farm at the hands of a corrupt southern redneck sheriff. His father - a Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army - hijacks a Tank and breaks his son out of the prison.
After this he follows Big Daddy Garner's footsteps and fights a Russian invasion of America in Red Dawn along side big brother Darry.

KARATE KID
After the success of "The Outsiders", Ralph Macchio's Johnny Cade character was brought back to life (his death was retconned) as the character Daniel LaRusso. Now that his character had survived the fire, after being released from the hospital, his mother, fearing that the gang life would end up killing her son, packs him up, changes their names, and moves to California. This explains why she was so upset when she first sees his black eye after the beach party. She fears that Daniel is already falling back into his gang life style. Also, every time Daniel sees Johnny he gives him a menacing glare. This is because he is thinking about stabbing Johnny. Now is he wanting to stab him or scared of wanting to stab him? I don't know. But there it is.
MIGHTY DUCKS
Emilio Estevez's character, Two-Bits, gets out of the gang life and puts himself through law school. No one is going to hire or take a lawyer named Two-Bits seriously so he changes his name to Gordon Bombay. You know the rest of the story.
TOP GUN
Steve Randel, played by Tom Cruise, opts out of the gang life by joining the US Navy.
Pony Boy sets out on the road picking up hitchhikers.
POINT BREAK OR ROADHOUSE
Patrick Swayze fully embraces his bad boy lifestyle, sets up a new gang called the ex-presidents. OR he becomes a bouncer and starts kicking the *beep* out of people.
