The Wilhelm scream is most audible in Star Wars: A New Hope, after Luke shoots a stormtrooper on the bridge. It's more "AuuWAUOOGH!" I *think* it's the voice of Ben Burtt, Star Wars sound designer. The scream can be heard in the Indiana Jones trilogy, all four Star Wars movies so far, Willow, and just about anything that's been mixed at Skywalker Sounds.
: Hey Kev or Vince, Just finished watching your Dogma commentary and you mentioned a scream that Lucas constantly uses. And I think I heard someone say the Wilhelm scream. Would this be the one that is current in all of his films? When an extra buys it, we get this surprised gurgled "Aaaaoooowwww!"
: Is there a story behind this effect? I've wondered for years. Thanks gang.
