Hippie Life
Whenever we witnessed a hippie scene, we were exposed to the wild hairstyles of that era! But did the makeup and style crew really spend so much time creating all these hairdos for just a couple moments in the film? NO. The scenes showing people with long, wild hair wasn’t at a hippie commune nor did they alter anyone’s looks. In fact, they headed to the Maryland Renaissance Festival to film these shots.

The Bench
Very little movie props are as legendary as the bench Forrest Gump sits on while waiting for his bus in Savannah, Georgia. And yes, this is a very real bench that exists but it’s no longer there. That’s right, Savannah officials moved it because they were afraid someone might try to steal it or cover it in graffiti. Currently it’s located at the Savannah History Museum.
