Has anyone ever noticed? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I mentioned something about this earlier, but having seen ROTK a few times I thought you might like to know.

At Helm's Deep, one of the elves gets shot off the wall. On the way down, he screams "AIYOWWW!" or something like that.

In ROTK, when Faramir and his men are retreating from Osgiliath, one of the Nazgul's beasts picks up a guy in its talons and then drops him. The guy screams, and it sounds exactly the same as the scream mentioned above.

But that's not all. That scream has been in many other movies. In Star Wars, a storm trooper gets shot off a ledge and he makes that scream, then later in Return of the Jedi some random alien falls into that pit on Tatooine and makes the same scream. It's also heard in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when a random guy gets machine gunned by a Nazi out in the desert during the "tank scene". I've heard it might be the sound guy's signature, but I'm not really sure.

The funny thing is, at least among my friends and myself, I am the only person who notices this scream popping up all over the place. Am I going crazy or something???
