Maybe you should have studied something other than Kung Foley.
'''Kung Foley''' is the hyper-exaggerated sound effects that go along with almost any ''really serious'' actions. From high risk martial arts to [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|zipping your fly]], it's all fair game. It's moved from Kung Fu trope to cliché to high [[Camp]] to [[Satire]] to acceptance as a mainstream trope. This is odd as it represents a backwards evolutionary trajectory. According to [[Myth Busters]], a normal punch is almost silent and a
Martial Arts equivalent of [[Noisy Guns]].
Line 25:
A foley is a sound effect recorded with a microphone, usually in a studio, and often involves using props to make sounds, hence the whooshes and cracks.
