TRIVIA SAMPLES:

“Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.”

“The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.”

“With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.”

“Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.”

“The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”
