  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.” 
    
  “The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.” 
    
  “With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.” 
    
  “Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.” 
    
  “The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”

  Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Michael Crichton’s novel.

  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The success of Jurassic Park and its book sparked a significant rise in the popularity of paleontology, resulting in a marked increase in students pursuing the subject.” 
    
  “The roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were created by combining sounds from various animals, including dogs, penguins, tigers, alligators, and elephants.” 
    
  “Michael Crichton originally envisioned John Hammond as a character inspired by a darker version of Walt Disney.” 
    
  “Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to Michael Crichton's novel for $2 million before it was even published.” 
    
  “The Mr. DNA cartoon, appearing around the 25-minute mark in the movie, was Steven Spielberg’s way of quickly summarizing much of the novel’s exposition.”
