- Forrest Jr. definitely had Jenny's AIDS

- Forrest was the 3rd person in the back of AC's white Bronco.

- An accomplished ball room dancer, he danced with Princess Di

- Forrest falls for a Native American and ends up calling BINGO on a reservation, she dies while he's waiting for her on a bench outside of where she works as a nursery school teacher...at the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City.



Sounds terrible.

Jesus Christ, they would really put that into the movie?

Can't verify because your link wants access to my device and all my data and location, bombard me with ads and ostensibly connect me to some Ethopian millionaire who needs my bank account to unlock his fortune.

There is a sequel book. Anyone read it?

quote:

To make ends meet, Forrest takes a job as a janitor in a strip club in New Orleans. By chance, one of the club's best customers is a rough football player for the New Orleans Saints known as "Snake", who used to play football for the University of Alabama alongside Forrest. Snake fears for his career as the Saints are having a horrible season, and recruits Forrest for the Saints. Forrest is unsure of playing in the NFL, citing how the players are much bigger than in college and how, "with all that gear, you look like a man from Mars or something".

Forrest is astute about health issues, noting that, as he has aged, some of his famous running ability has been sapped, but agrees to do run the basis of providing for himself and his ailing wife, Jenny. Forrest does have a somewhat successful career in pro football, but is soon subject to the tactics of sports agents. In the middle of a game, Forrest is told that Jenny has died; he tells the Saints that he cannot be at the next game so that he can deliver the eulogy at her funeral. The Saints' management believes this to be a holdout tactic, and he is cut from the team.

Sounds like the whole thing would have jumped the shark. I'm glad it didn't happen.

This is random as hell:

And, surely a DNA test reveals he wasn't really Forrest's, either. After all, Jenny was one of the most impressive whores and worst human beings in all of human history - I mean she gets a little pass because of her upbringing, but still.

I always thought it would be interesting if a sequel took a likeable hero in a completely different, much darker direction. Forrest Gump was always my example.

After 20 minutes of showing the father/son relationship between Forrest and Forrest Jr., Forrest Jr. is kidnapped by the bad guys.

Forrest goes on a mission to get Forrest Jr. back, using his Vietnam training to violently murder his way to the bad guys. As Forrest becomes more desperate, his methods become more violent and dangerous and increasingly make you question if he's still in the right.

Or the bad guys could kill Forrest Jr. in the beginning and you basically get John Wick/The Punisher, except with Forrest Gump doing the killing.

Good Lord. Can we make it more depressing?

- Forrest becomes a pilot for American Airlines and has his throat slit with a box cutter just prior to flying into the World Trade Center. Camera follows pigeon feather blown up from explosion. Fade to black.
