8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		This movie was shot in Munich, Germany, but the producers had to go outside of Germany to recruit enough little people to play the Oompa Loompas (one of the many tragic legacies of the Nazi era). Many of the people cast as Oompa Loompas (German or otherwise) did not speak English fluently, if at all. This is why some appear to not know the words to songs during the musical numbers.

d.		Ellie Mae and the Swamp Folk were originally going to carry a small flag that said "Swamp Volunteers". This detail was dropped, since this would be the only time they would serve as rescuers.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		At the end of the "42nd Street" number, Billy and Peggy pull down a curtain or shade with the word "Asbestos" written on it. This can be a confusing reference to 21st-century viewers, who may only be familiar with asbestos as a mineral composite which is now known to cause the lung cancer mesothelioma, but during the first part of the 20th century, asbestos was an often-used flame-retardant component in building materials. It also would have been a reference familiar to theater people, since live-performance theaters were at the time required to have a curtain made of asbestos that would separate the stage from the audience in the event of an on-stage fire. In that context, the presence of the curtain in the film is the movies way of implying that whatever Billy and Peggy are going to do behind the curtain, it will surely be "hot."
b.		The Gecko brothers from From Dusk Till Dawn are depicted as fugitives on a crime TV show spotlighting the "Blue Blood Killer".
c.		The first boy in the school bus who refuses to let Forrest sit next to him is played by Alexander Zemeckis, director Robert Zemeckis son.

c.		The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad libbed by Tom Hanks while filming the scene and director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.
d.		"Screen Directors Playhouse" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on August 19, 1949 with William Powell reprising his film role.
