Line 43:
* The appropriately-named Wheezy Joe in ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]''.
* One of the casualties in ''[[Dog Soldiers]]'' realized that there was a werewolf behind him {{spoiler|in the back seat of the truck}} due to its heavy breathing, then had his suspicions confirmed when a rush of exhaled vapors flowed past his shoulder. Oh, and also when it ripped him to shreds.
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''. Buzz's breathing when he first appears on the bed and we see from inside his helmet.
* Referenced in ''[[Jarhead]]''. During a gas mask drill, one of the solders can't help but breathe extra-deeply and throw a few Vader lines.
* Saddam Hussein does this (Along with a Vader impersonation) in the second ''[[Hot Shots]]!'' movie, before succumbing to a coughing fit. After a drag on his inhaler, he's back to normal.
Line 74:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Raistlin from the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' stories.
* Techpriests in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' often have their lower face and lungs replaced by cybernetics. Because of the [[Schizo-Tech|strongly varying tech-levels]] of the setting, this can work perfectly well and even surpass the original organs - or result in Vader Breath, which in the roleplaying games makes strenuous physical activity harder (the lungs are less efficient at oxygenising the blood) and applies a penalty to Sneaking rolls.
** Cue inevitable [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]—for example, a Techpriest model for ''Inquisitor'' reminding the creator of "He's more machine now than man."
{{quote|Dmitri hisses like an asthmatic pensioner when he breathes, naturally.}}
Line 118:
* In ''Darkfall: Lost Souls'', the Inspector whom you play has emphysema, and starts breathing hard if you climb steps or ladders, or stay in one place outside in the cold for long. The opening segment of the game consists of a black screen, and the sound of his increasingly-desperate attempts to draw air into what's left of his lungs.
* ''[[Wolfenstein (2009 video game)|Wolfenstein]]'s'' [[Powered Armor|Heavy Troopers]] sound like this, if you can get close to them unnoticed. It's probably because they're vat-grown [[Super Soldier]]s with insufficiently developed lungs.
* [[RunescapeRuneScape]] has Mi-Gor, a small zombie wearing a gas mask. The breath is not actually heard, just described in the dialogue lines as *wheeze* before every line, and before that, "as if someone is trying to talk with his throat full of mud".
* [[Fallout: New Vegas]] DLC Dead Money has the Ghost People, all of whom have wheezy, raspy, ''loud'' breath. The loud breathing is the best way to tell when they're sneaking up on you. Serves as [[Paranoia Fuel]] when you can't see them, but you can hear them breathing.
* ''[[Minecraft]]'' have blazes which breathe heavily.
