In the film, Moochie is played by Malcolm Danare and is less intimidating than in the book: While still squarish and fat, he is much shorter than the rest of his friends and his build more resembles that of Reginald "Belch" Huggins from It: Chapter One. He also lacks bad teeth and myopia. He is seen in the school fight and later is involved in trashing Christine with a knife and a hammer because after stabbing her seats he then takes out the radio by smashing it. In a deleted scene, Moochie is shown to have been the one to have decacated on the dashboard. Afterwards he shows his tough character by threatening to kill Arnie who he belives to be driving Christine and tells him "You're a dead man now." These turn out to be his last words because at that point Christine drives into the alley and crushes him.
