wait till this kid learns about sound effects libraries
I still chuckle every time I hear the Wilhelm scream.
Once I knew to listen for it, I find it jarring and cringeworthy tbh. Really takes me out of a movie
Buzz Lightyear makes that sound when he’s knocked out of Andy’s window.
I think a Nazi or two also scream Wilhelm-like when Indiana Jones punches them off a car.
In TLOTR: The Two Towers, some dude is falling at Helm’s Deep and does a Wilhelm. I think it’s after a scary flying beast that’s naughty picks him up and drops him from really high up.
In Spidey Into the Spiderverse, Spidey punches a crook and the crook Wilhelms about the audacity to be hit by Spidey.
When Luke Skywalker gets his hand chopped off by a sharp light blade that’s burning hot and stuff, he screams Mark Hamilly, and not Wilhelmly. Thank you, Luke.
Man, a comic book speech bubble in a Spiderverse movie that just says "Wilhelm Scream" would be hilarious
This comment could've kept going for another thousand paragraphs.
Same. It breaks the immersion and reminds people that they’re watching a movie.
They used it perfectly in The Hangover. I never listen for it, but they made it painfully obvious and got a surprised chuckle out of me.
That one rusty door opening sound.
Noooo! Those are the real sounds of Aquaman swimming through the ocean at 90 mph!
Foley artistry is really cool to learn about
It was my dream job, when it was actually a guy making sounds. Now it's all digital and on a computer. That's no fun. I wanna smash fruit with weapons and make weird noises for movies
Good ol' General Series 6000
Or Turbosquid.
