Friday Game: Looking for Chicken Clucks in "Saving Private Ryan"

October 15, 2010 by Miguel Isaza

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIEx9gVTuRk&feature=related[/youtube]

Charles Maynes sent me this video of an scene from Saving Private Ryan (which by the way is one of my favorite scenes in films ever) and asked me if I could hear some cool chicken clucks included in a particular moment of the scene. And he adds:

This would be a great example of Gary Rydstrom doing a Warner Brothers Cartoons homage to Treg Brown, who always tried to never use an appropriate sound in a sequence.

So, let’s play something: Who would be the first one to find the chickens in the video? (I know where the chicken clucks are but… it’s friday! so let’s have some fun).

I can hear those sounds quite clearly, however we can’t confirm that those sounds are true chicken clucks. What do you think?

Thanks to Charles for the link.

    I’d say there’s also breaking hisses from a train after the chicken clucks.

    My guess is it’s at 4,07, panning left to right. Never would have noticed that :P

    Okay, who noticed the Rat squeals in the Omaha Beach scene when the German bunker gets torched and the machine-gunners are jumping out the window on fire? I did!
