      Once I knew to listen for it, I find it jarring and cringeworthy tbh. Really takes me out of a movie

        Buzz Lightyear makes that sound when he’s knocked out of Andy’s window.

        I think a Nazi or two also scream Wilhelm-like when Indiana Jones punches them off a car.

        In TLOTR: The Two Towers, some dude is falling at Helm’s Deep and does a Wilhelm. I think it’s after a scary flying beast that’s naughty picks him up and drops him from really high up.

        In Spidey Into the Spiderverse, Spidey punches a crook and the crook Wilhelms about the audacity to be hit by Spidey.

        When Luke Skywalker gets his hand chopped off by a sharp light blade that’s burning hot and stuff, he screams Mark Hamilly, and not Wilhelmly. Thank you, Luke.

          Man, a comic book speech bubble in a Spiderverse movie that just says “Wilhelm Scream” would be hilarious

          This comment could’ve kept going for another thousand paragraphs.

        They used it perfectly in The Hangover. I never listen for it, but they made it painfully obvious and got a surprised chuckle out of me.
