Awesome Forrest Gump

At one point, John Travolta was offered the part of Forrest Gump, but he turned it down to do Pulp Fiction instead. But with the help of Shamook and deepfake technology, we can now see how the Bob Zemeckis classic might have turned out had the original casting held. Now we want to see Tom Hanks as Vincent Vega.

Despite having seen Forrest Gump several times, we missed this scene between Tom Hanks and Sally Field that RealBigBoys dug up. Mama always said YouTube was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

“Baked shrimp, broiled shrimp, boiled shrimp…” Binging with Babish takes on the shrimp dishes that Bubba rattled off to Forrest Gump. There are so many of them that they couldn’t fit in one video, but gumbo does make the cut here.

Chockful of activities like running, shooting, playing football, catching shrimp, ping-pong, and its distorted sense of time, it turns out that Forrest Gump would have made an awesome arcade game, a la the classic Track and Field.
