The Wilhelm Scream... Dear Hollywood: Stop it.

[Rakewell]

I'm so damned tired of hearing this scream in every GD Hollywood action movie.

Hollywood: Hearing a supernumerary character emit this scream is distracting from the immersion of an action sequence. It's not realistic, and stupid.

Is there some sort of inside joke? Whatever it is, I don't think it's funny.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Agreed. It used to be funny, now I hear it in pretty much every action movie I see.

Pick a new in-joke, this one's more worn out than Chuck Norris.

I never even noticed it. But I haven't seen most of those either.

Is that the same exact sound file being replayed for screams? It's so damn similar each time.

Yeah, that's kind of the point.

If it bothers you that much I don't really know what else to say other than tough.

 

[Ricochet]

Agreed x 100.

It even made its way into video games. It's in the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Opening Cinematic.

This. It used to be fun picking it out in only certain movies, but now it's just dumb.

+1. Earns high marks on the lame-o-meter tho.

I hear this stock sound from SimCity everywhere:

Have you ever done any of the things in those movies where you hear that scream? Maybe that's exactly how people scream in those situations :sneaky:

"Yes, we had 3 extras get eaten by giant ants to verify the accuracy of the Wilhelm scream". "Hey, it was cheaper than paying the royalties for an entirely new scream".
