A famous male scream that can be heard in such popular films as the Star Wars saga, The indiana Jones trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones is driving the truck carrying the ark through the desert. While Driving, he tries to shake off a couple of nazi's climbing on top of the truck and when one of them falls off, you here the Wilhelm scream. During the battle of the Pelennor fields in the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Legolas the elf climbs his way up a Mumakil(giant elephant), sturggles a bit with a Haradrim soldier and then throws him off the Mumakil, at which point the Haradrim makes A wilhelm scream.
