One of Forrest's Benches is Worth $500,000
The bench in "Forrest Gump" is one of the most important elements of the plot. It's where Forrest is recapping the events of the entire film. The bench scenes were shot in Savannah, Georgia, so when filming wrapped, the benches just stayed there. One was given to a security guard who patrolled the set, and even though he's had several offers to sell it - one as large as $500,000 - he's refused every time.
