Live From Vietnam
No, none of the war scenes from Forrest Gump were really filmed in Vietnam. It just took a bit of Hollywood magic to replicate the feeling of fighting in a reedy swamp. But where did they actually film these scenes? Believe it or not, a golf course on Fripp Island off the coast of South Carolina!

Jenny’s Death
A heartbreaking moment in the film is undoubtedly when Jenny passes away from an unknown virus a mere year after she and Forrest finally tie the knot. While the virus is never named, seeing as how it took place at the height of the AIDS crisis, viewers can only assume this was the cause. However that’s not what the author wrote in the book. Winston Groom wrote in Bubba & Co., the sequel, that Jenny was infected with hepatitis C from her drug usage.
