Some might have noticed that there sound clips out there that sounds close to or identical to the ones used in the starcraft games.

1. Marine dies (first marine)
Commando


2. "where in the pipe five by five"
Aliens


i had at least 3 good links but i forgot the last one.

If you know about others please post them.

Yeah, I was (re)watching Aliens a while ago, and I started laughing out loud when I heard that quote :p

anyway, here's a page with all unit quotes, linked to their source (if they didnt come up with it themselves). It's one of the most beautiful things in the game imho, if you know where the quotes are coming from of course

When I was watching I am legend I was pretty sure I heard shuttle sound at one point, something like that. Also few years ago at our local TV there was commercial spot that was using tank sounds ^^

Blizzard is a heavy user of commercial audio cds, as are many movie developers, and other such companies. I have many of these such cds, and once you realize just how heavily many companies bank on them for their assets, you start to wonder if they hire any actual audio engineers at all (they usually don't and rely on interns).

The warp-in sound from BW is used in a lot of stuff actually, it must be a sample from a sound library.

Very nice, keep it coming. I have also heard sounds in TV and so on from games.

But i don`t want to read them i want to hear them.

So if anyone know what scene and is able to post that scene that would be great.

A lot of sounds in general are stock. You'll hear similar sounds in a good number of movies/tv/video games simply because they're public domain. When a company is lazy they'll just copy and paste it, when they're not they'll edit it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional, plant that seed in your head where you're thinking "where have I heard that before" and then say thinking of starcraft whenever you watch Commando for instance.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

I found the third one. Its no quote but a scene they got inspired by.

Does anyone remember the marine with the chrismas lights and the rock n roll?


The inspiration. Apocalypse now - Do Lung Bridge scene

A combination of the lack of command, rock n roll and the famous Roach.

It's similar, but same like Zerg SC2 music and "The Walking Dead" intro, both just use the tremolo bar on the guitar ^^

The fight club scene is exactly the BW zerg briefing music.

Also I think BW tanks (and I forgot probably SC2 tanks too) sing the Ride of the Valkyries, as a nod to the famous helicopter scene of Apocalypse Now.

The two I hear constantly now that I'm aware they exist are both sounds I associate with half life 2: that metal crashing sound with an undertone of springs that comes mostly from cars, and the sound of crates smashing.

I hear the sound of dying naga from wc3 so often lol. Usually in movies where they fight similarly lizard like creatures.
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

Even Tie Fighters in Star Wars use the Howie Scream.

The tanks aren't from Brood War, by the way. They were already in SC1.
I died in a crash two years ago - is that what they told you?

I especially like the SCV's ""Yeah, yeah" and "Yeah whatever" I've heard people say that alot in movies and on TV
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

umm... OK? It's a common thing to say, but it's not he same voice as the SCV when they say that though. SCV had unique voice acting done just like every other unit.

Sounds similar to what? I didn't mention what it's similar to (and I suppose I should have since BW is now a much older game). I can only assume you guys haven't played much Brood War as Zerg, because this isn't just similar, this is freakishly the very same thing down to the 'tee'. It's the Zerg briefing music in Starcraft 1.
