This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994).

About the movie: Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		The "eggplant subplot" was originally not written in the screenplay at all. Rather, it was worked into the film while actually shooting. Director Daniel Kremer remembered someone saying "What do you feed your eggplant?" in a dream he had from which he had awakened laughing. In directing the opening scene, director Daniel Kremer told actor William Cully Allen to, somehow and in some way, work the absurdist line into the dialogue and to see where it took him in the scene. Allens delivery of the line allowed a facet of his character (his fixation with eggplants) to be played out and explored in the movie as a comical quirk of the character.
b.		The vintage microphones that Forrest speaks into while in DC and the sound rig that the uniformed man pulls cables out of were all provided by Brandywine Electronics, LTD (now known as BEL.com) and are still on display in its offices in New Castle, DE.
c.		The first time Bill Murray and Martin Landau have been in a film together since Ed Wood. And Caroline Thompson, the screenwriter on City of Ember regularly works with Tim Burton.
d.		Jeanette MacDonalds participation in Nino Martinis "Song of the Gondolier" musical number was cut from the US version before it was released, but may survive in the Spanish version of the film.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		Adrienne Barbeaus last line, "...look for the fog...", echoes the last line from The Thing from Another World, "Watch the skies." John Carpenter later remade that film as The Thing.
b.		A similar event that plagued Aiden Karamanyan occurred a year prior to the plays completion in the city of Olympia, only weeks before Aidens move back to the city of Seattle.
c.		Mr. Bernsteins first name is never revealed.
d.		Greenbow, Alabama (Forrests hometown) is fictional. Bayou LaBatre, Alabama (Bubbas hometown), however, is real.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		Reggie Bannister was the only cast member to be present on set every single day of principal photography, either acting or helping behind the camera.
b.		Contrary to popular belief, the feather was not entirely CGI. The effects team digitized film of a real feather blowing and twisting in front of a blue-screen. This was then edited into segments, which the computer could link and morph together, allowing the "virtual" feather to move however the filmmakers needed. Thus, there was a real feather, but its performance in the movie was computer-based. This is demonstrated in the DVD supplementals.
c.		When the movie played at Graumanns Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1974 it was shown in "Sensurround" with heavy bass speakers set on the floor around the theater. Very soon after the preview performances, a giant net had to be rigged above the patrons because of fear that the ornate ceiling decorations might break loose and fall on the audience below due to the low bass rumble of earthquake sequences. During the films initial preview performances at the theatre, the Sensurround vibrations actually caused an occasional, very small and harmless piece of plaster or paint to crack and fall down onto the audience. Worried that continuous periods of strong sound waves throughout the films exclusive run might loosen elements of the ceilings ornamentation and light fixtures, the theatre management ordered the safety net to be slung below the entire auditorium ceiling, just below the ornamentation. This action was publicized in the local papers. Whether or not the ceilings very visible "safety net" was an actual, workable safety measure or whether it was merely a publicity gimmick, it did serve to heighten audience anticipation of the films effects.
d.		Joan Crawford later said about this film, "If Otto Preminger hadnt directed it, the picture would have been a mess. It came off. Sort of."

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		Some scenes had to be re-shot when the original film was destroyed after being treated with the wrong chemical during development.
b.		The entire running time for The Lord of the Rings trilogy is approximately 8 hours and 37 minutes, from start to finish.
c.		The shrimp boat used in the film now resides in the moat surrounding the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Downtown Disney, at the Disneyworld Resort in Florida. Also, one of the ping-pong paddles used in the film is signed by Tom Hanks and hung up on one of the walls inside the restaurant.
d.		On the wall of the House of Blue Leaves are the letters Q and U. These refer to the first names of Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman, as the creators of The Bride.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forrest Gump (1994)?
a.		During the ping-pong matches, there was no ball; it was entirely CGI, animated to meet the actors paddles.
b.		Jennifer Connelly was attracted to the role of Betty Ross, since she found Ang Lees vision of the Hulk interesting: "He wasnt talking about a glossy fun-filled kids movie about a green guy running around in tights. He was talking along the lines of tragedy and psychodrama, the green monster of rage, greed, jealousy and fear in all of us."
c.		Bozic in the film twice refers to riderless horses as empty horses. This is likely to be a reference to director, Michael Curtiz, with whom Errol Flynn had worked on The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936). When wanting to see stray horses wandering through the battle, Curtiz directed the wranglers to "Bring on the empty horses." When David Niven and Flynn cracked up laughing, he responded with: You people, you think I know fck nothing; I tell you: I know fck all". Niven later made this "curtizism" immortal by titling a volume of his autobiography:"Bring on the empty horses."

d.		Around 1956, singer Eddie Fisher and his agent Lew Wasserman were discussing roles for Fishers acting debut. A project being discussed at the time was "What Makes Sammy Run?" by Budd Schulberg and Stuart Schulberg. Fisher wanted to play aggressive producer Sammy Glick, "the ultimate Jewish hustler. I knew a lot of real Sammy Glicks and I felt confident that was a character I could play." Lew Wasserman decided that the character was too much of a classic negative Jewish stereotype and that it would be bad for Fisher to play it. So Fisher went in the complete opposite direction (in retrospect, perhaps too far) with then-wife Debbie Reynolds in this squeaky clean comedy that Fisher hated, made to capitalize on the birth of their daughter, future Star Wars "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher. The Schulberg project was eventually produced in 2 parts as "Sunday Showcase (1959)" {What Makes Sammy Run?: Part 1 (#1.2)} and "Sunday Showcase (1959)" {What Makes Sammy Run?: Part 2 (#1.3)} with Larry Blyden in the role.

b.		The character of Alfred in the comics was introduced to conform to the fact that in the film Bruce Wayne had a butler. However, the Alfred in the comics was drawn as very chubby and clean shaven, while William Austin, who played Alfred, wore a mustache and was slim. Soon after the release of the film, the comics character grew a mustache and went to a health spa, where he lost weight. From then on, the comics Alfred has resembled the Austin image.
