Line 32:
* ''[[Despicable Me]]'' features the Wilhelm Scream when Gru's mother {{spoiler|karate kicks a hanging bag into her instructor, sending him flying.}}
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' when Genie lifts the castle off the ground and someone nearly gets hit by the falling debris.
* ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]'' when a villager nearly gets stepped on by the cyclops.
* In ''[[Superman: Doomsday]]'' when Doomsday strangles a worker and tosses him to the ground.
* In ''[[Cars]]'', this happens to a car in Lightning McQueen's dream sequence as a result of him being zapped by [[Tripod Terror|a giant sparkplug.]]
* Uttered by a group of Bone Hunters (who normally only communicate in their own language) in ''[[Bionicle]]: The Legend Reborn''. It's not the only stock sound effect used though.
* Happens near the end of ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' during the scene where Marlin, Dory, and Nigel are chased by the seagulls.
* Used in both ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' (when Buzz falls out the window) and ''[[Toy Story 3]]''.
 
 
Line 60:
* Heard as the [[Big Bad]]'s and [[Mad Scientist]]'s lab hidden inside the mountain, is blown up in [[Agent Cody Banks]].
* When Batman shoves a [[Mook]] aside in ''[[Batman Returns]]'' the unfortunate guy lets out the Wilhelm Scream.
* ''[[Australia (2008 film)|Australia]]'' uses it as a guy is blown away from an exploding cart.
* Naturally, ''[[Star Wars]]'' parody ''[[Spaceballs]]'' includes it as well. It shows up when Barf deflects four blaster shots using a chunk of curved metal pipes, and hits the last Spaceball in the ass as he tries to run away.
* Also used twice in ''[[Willow]]'' once when a chariot with two evil mooks overturns, and later during the final battle when an enemy soldier falls off their horse. It's another George Lucas movie, so go figure.
Line 92:
* ''Undercovers'' - Spy husband takes out a rocket-launcher-wielding mook with a well-aimed gunshot close to the end of the premier episode.
* On ''Bombshells'', ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' {{spoiler|cane-shoots zombies;}} one of them lets out a Wilhelm.
* The ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'' are particularly fond of this sound effect, and it appears in many of their animated shorts that set up myths. They sometimes also add it to their live-action scenes, such as when Grant and Tory amuse themselves by mock-reenacting Star Wars scenes.
* In the third-season finale of ''[[Southland]]'', a bad guy does one of these as he misjudges the distance between buildings and falls to his death from a roof.
* In ''[[Community]]'' episode "[[Community/Recap/S2/E06 Epidemiology|Epidemiology]]" a Wilhelm is heard when Troy re-enters the zombified party in the Power Loader.
Line 125:
* In ''[[Star Wars]]: Bounty Hunter'', if an enemy is close enough to a ledge when killed, they'll fall off while delivering one of these.
* The scream can be triggered in the Star Wars game ''[[Shadows of the Empire]]'' if a Storm Trooper falls.
* This is one of the standard sounds of the Wraith unit movement commands in [[StarcraftStarCraft]]
* A soldier gives one towards the end of Act 1 in [[Vanquish]].
* Used exactly once in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', if you shoot {{spoiler|the guard standing at the top of the escalator in the mission "...Final Interview".}}
Line 178:
 
=== Anime and Manga ===
* The Howie Long Scream is used at the end of the omake that comes with episode 7 of ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]''.
 
 
Line 194:
** Not a true example, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHdgMOuuBs pretty darn close.] Anyone who claims this correlation never crossed their mind is lying through their teeth.
** A distorted version of this scream was used in the very beginning of the opening sequence of Walking with Dinosaurs.
** All Terran players of the original ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' will recognize that sound.
** It was also used in the film ''[[Saving Silverman]]''.
** In Australia, for an extended periods in the 1990s, this scream was used in all the Nutri-Grain breakfast cereal ads, to help sell its "Iron Man Food" angle.
Line 238:
 
=== Videogames ===
* "Howie Long" scream also appears when players click on the Terran "Academy" building in '''[[StarcraftStarCraft]].''
** The same scream, slightly shortened and increased in pitch, is used as the 'Fast Zombie' cry in ''[[Half-Life 2]]''.
** Used in the game over screen on ''Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi''.
Line 261:
* A female scream similar to the aforementioned "Brap" scream, but pitched an octave lower, appeared in various World Builder games.
* The Howie Long Scream is the death cry of a Frus monster in ''[[Ragnarok Online]]''.
* Not quite a scream, but a characteristic "ugh" sound is used when a female character is hit or killed in ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'', ''[[Mission: Impossible]] 64'', ''[[Perfect Dark]]'', and some games in the ''[[Rainbow Six]]'' series.
 
 
Line 294:
*** The oddest one out as far as the Goofy holler is concerned? ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'', which uses it during an outdoor showdown at M. Bison's hideout.
* Every single last time someone falls to his death in ''[[Jonny Quest]]'', we would hear the same scream: ''{{smallcaps|AAIIIIEEEEEEEEEE}}!''
** Naturally, the (somewhat) affectionate parody of JQ in ''[[Freakazoid!]]!'' spoofed this one for all it was worth
* ''[[Futurama]]'' would use the same scream every time Amy fell down.
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'': "My leg!"
