As with other famous block-busters there is lots of great facts and trivia surrounding the making of this epic romantic comedy-drama classic, so I thought I'd share 10 of my favourite facts about the making of the story surrounding the Bubba Gump shrimp entrepreneur.
1 - John Travolta, Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray all turned down the role of Forrest Gump.

10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About Top Gun!
As soon as you here the opening chords of Kenny Logginsâ "Danger Zone," you are transported back to a time when the coolest men in the universe were flying F-14 Tomcats for the Navy and had silly names like Maverick, Goose and Ice Man. "Top Gun" made Tom Cruise a household name and gave Meg Ryan one of her first movie gigs. But even though itâs one of the most frequently quoted guy movies, how well do you really know it? Here are some facts about "Top Gun" that might surprise you.
10 - The bar in which a boozy rendition of "Great Balls of Fire" was performed is real, and still exists. Itâs called Kansas City BBQ, and itâs in San Diego, California. Although a 2008 fire destroyed a lot of its memorabilia, the piano is still there and they still sell Top Gun t-shirts.
