He had HIM a guitar case...
This sentence is from "Forrest Gump" movie. Whether is it correct sentence?
I think correctly is "He had HIS a guitar case." Isn't it?

Don't assume every example of English is perfect and standard. ;) Like Ismey59 pointed out, it's southern U.S. speech.
"His" cannot work here because "his a guitar" is not a possible word-order in English (including in the dialects and slang). "Him" actually indicates "himself" (except the speaker dropped the -self).
