Line 24:
Forrest shows up after they leave but before the chief dies. The chief gives forest a pair of totems and his blessing. Then Forrest heads to that cabin Aegis trashed earlier.
 
Jennings is infuriated that they killed one Inuit in front of dozens of witnesses. The decision is made to hire mercenaries, who are led by [[R Lee Ermey|R. Lee Ermey]]. Unfortunately, they missed a backpack when they trashed the cabin--one containing the disk, weapons--and explosives. (They also left the rifle cabinet alone.) Forrest offs a couple of the [[Mooks]] following him, and then heads to his secret explosion cache....
 
This film ends with one of the hugest fires and explosions ever--and it's all real fire and explosions. There is a long [[Character Filibuster]] after the fire and explosion on how corporations are destroying the environment, but the climax is the gigantic explosion.
Line 55:
* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: As Film Brain pointed out, Forrest blowing up an oil rig will cause more environmental damage than letting it run normally. Also doubling as [[Moral Dissonance]].
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Multiple.
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: The film contains several drawn-out torture scenes, such as when Forrest's friend Hugh is beaten with a pipe cutter. Not just on the part of the villains though; Forrest has several scenes where he continues to bully people even when he's already beaten them, such as a very lengthy and painful fight in the bar. And, as [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] pointed out, Forrest murders Jennings at the end of the movie, even though he was unarmed, outmatched, and totally unable to defend himself.
* [[Magical Computer]]: Multiple.
* [[Mega Corp]]
* [[Mighty Whitey]]: Taft.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: The ''only '''possible''' reason'' that [[Michael Caine]] appeared in this film.) And it is. Around that time, he couldn't find many opportunities for work so he took what he could. Also the only possible reason they could have gotten [[R. Lee Ermey]] to be a moron here. And [[Joan Chen]] must have needed some money too....
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Why Jennings believes Forrest is alive.
* [[Old Shame]]: Michael Caine, arguably. He needed work in the 90's and did it since it was a job. Seagal and Caine reportedly did not get along either.
Line 65:
* [[Only One]]
* [[Outrun the Fireball]]: Repeatedly.
* [[Photo Op Withwith the Dog]]: The exec tries to make an ad to improve the image of Aegis Energy, complete with reindeer/caribou.
* [[Positive Discrimination]]:
