Fav sound effect in a film or TV?
Discussion
The engine sound of the Coyote from Hardcastle & McCormick - identical to the Daytona Spyder in The Gumball Rally.
Airwolf sounds - starting up, cooling down, howling, doors opening and closing and the timing of the rotor sound to the music, very clever.
Clint Eastwood's Magnum .44 / .357 from various Dirty Harry films and others + Sonny Crockett's 10mm Bren Ten / Smith & Wesson Model 645 / 4506 - all shared the same stock sound though the Bren Ten had added bass.
I'd love to know how that sound was created in the early seventies because it's certainly not how any of the above actually sound. Anyone know ?

When they get engine noises correct in any film. It’s always odd when they play V8 noises over anything without a V8 or when someone is riding a Ducati that sounds like an in-line 4.
Probably won't be a fan of the Tesla in Spooks thenhttps://youtu.be/rct8DTDfYpo?t=28s
Not quite a film but one of the old Clarkson on Cars DVD’s.
Specifically the scene where the TVR Speed 12 went past the camera at what sounded like full throttle. Then a view from distance with it bouncing off the rev limiter, or the overrun (not sure which)
No longer on YouTube due to copyright blah blah.
If anyone can point me in the right direction...

t, I hate it because its fking everywhere, you can't watch a film without hearing it. Do people think they are clever putting it in every film?king hate that effect, and hate even more any filmmaker who thinks they are amusing or "in" or whatever it is that compels these wkers to keep on adding it into modern films. It's not funny, it's not clever , it *is* however a very good way to instantly ruin any action scene.Tony Starks said:
Anything really that works out the subwoofer for me. Unfortunately the wife doesn't like watching anything loud, so I always have to compromise. Although, I've got a week off on my own soon. So I'm hoping to get 2 films a day at reference level

So I will nominate a different intro...
https://youtu.be/HKjQIXIpEEI
The Dolby Digital intro from my first ever DVD (Godzilla Reboot), Gawd that sounded amazing on my first home cinema.
So many iconic ones - but I'm not sure what I'd call a favourite.
Although it's quiet and not exactly unique, is there a better way to use a 'thud' sound than this?
Lots of Robocop mentions; I think my favourite sound from that film is actually the ED-209 powering up. I'm not sure why it's fictional designers added a 'growl' to it. Was it not quite intimidating enough?
