Goofs
When Jenny dies, Forrest says it was on a Saturday morning. When we see her headstone, the date of death is March 22, 1982. However, March 22, 1982 was a Monday, not a Saturday.
Share this
When Forrest first gets on the school bus, the shots from inside the bus show the driver's hand on the door lever, while shots from the outside show it on the gear shift lever.
Share this
When Forrest quickly puts together his rifle faster than anyone else in the barracks, he says, "Finished Drill Sergeant," without his accent.

Q
What is a "Million-Dollar Wound" ?
A
A million-dollar wound referenced in the movie is a military slang referring to a type of wound received in combat which is serious enough to get the person sent away from the fighting, but is not fatal, nor will it leave the person permanently crippled. I.e. getting shot in the buttocks.
Q
Forrest receives the Congressional Medal of Honor - what is it? What did he receive it for?
A
The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award that can be conferred on any soldier who shows exceptional valor during combat, what the US armed forces often call "action above and beyond the call of duty." More info on the CMH can be found here. Forrest was awarded the medal because he carried most of the wounded men of his squad, including his commanding officer, Lt. Dan Taylor, to safety from a hostile combat zone.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie.
