Did you know you've heard the Wilhelm scream more times than you can count?

This particular scream has been used in probably hundreds of films.. you'll instantly recognize it. Here's a youtube compilation of a handful of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YDpuA90KEY&feature=related

Same, the Wilhelm scream has been used since the beginning of time, its used in every damn Star Wars movie...

Im schocked at how many people in this thread are suprised at this

Yep, it's really used in lots, lots, lots of movies. ex. Reservoir Dogs when Mr. Pink is haulin @$$ down the street runnin from the cops after the heist. I like that one. Apparently it was first recorded in the movie "Distant Drums" in 1951. There are other sound effects that are often used in movies - and games too. Like... that hydraulic door opening sound you might have heard in a doom game. or that lonnnnng belly scream... i think your character shouts it if he falls great distance in jedi knight (pc game) for ex.

I identified that scream a long time ago while watching Star Wars. Didn't realize it was in so many movies though.

the earliest instance i've seen a vid of is this "charge on feather river" movie or something from the the 50's. This cowboy type on horseback makes that squeal when and arrow comes out of nowhere and flies into his thigh. But i think that was the first time it was RE-used. "distant drums" was a year or two earlier and the original scream. i wiki'd it.
Oh yeah, and the cowboy's name was Wilhelm.
