And, yes, <I>Deathproof</I> are all worthy elements of the Kurt Canon. Just remember: I SAW HIM FIRST!<BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah...many, many Wilhelm Scream compilations over at <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wilhelm+scream&search=Search" REL="nofollow">YouTube</A>.G.

Now that he's an Elder Statesman of the form, he exudes personality and presence, and knows how to carry it.<BR/> <BR/>I wonder if Victory Auto Wreckers evolved from the Victory Drive in after a really really bad night. A promotional scheme, let's say, involving Godzilla or an Invasion of Saucer men, or both, destroys every vehicle in the place.<BR/> <BR/>Sorry about your casette going "Screeeeee!" Cassettes do that, alas. They have a somewhat limited lifespan, I've found to my consternation several times.<BR/> <BR/>Add to the mix: I've been listening to Gene Vincent earlier today.<BR/> <BR/>Glenn Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra: Now THAT'S class! Really. Good stuff when you're in the mood, though I'm usually more in the mood for Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Ellington or Buddy Johnson. I may be mistaken, but I think Glenn Gray played the Willowbrook with some frequency. Maybe he was there the night Resurrection Mary became a legend.<BR/> <BR/>Brad Pyta forever!

While the now-ubiquitous Wilhelm scream did come out of this film, Mr. Wooly's turn as the screamer of record is only a guess.

They claim it goes even farther back, to a stuntman in old westerns, and for some reason was a perennial in sound artists' toolbox. Knowing Tarentino, it's probably hip now to use the scream rather than cliched.<BR/><I>Big Trouble in Little China</I> has to be my favorite Russell (though I haven't seen <I>Deathtrap</I> yet), not just because of the kung-fu saluting goodness, but because there are 30-odd lines from John Wayne movies buried in the script.
