- What do these screams mean?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Gooooood Mythical Morning.
- Today, we tackle
one of the more meaningful questions of life,
and that is, can you tell how someone is dying in a movie
just by listening to the audio only?
- I have a lot of experience with this.
- Oh, really? Well, I'm gonna give-
- Not people dying, but just movies.
- And watching them blindfolded?
- And people dying in movies.
- All right, I'm gonna test that today,
but first I do want to issue a warning.
I'm gonna be playing video clips from actual movies
of people acting like they're dying.
They're not actually dying.
- Right? - So let's not panic here.
They're absolutely ridiculous deaths,
but, I mean, they could be categorized as grotesque,
at least a few of them, so if you're not into that,
then you should click away.
You have been warned.
It's time to play, "How the heck are they dying?"
(gruesome music)
Okay, Rhett, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna play audio only
of a death in a movie,
and then I'm gonna give you three choices.
You have to choose how the person is dying.
If you get four outta seven of these right,
you win a personalized gravestone.
- Oh. - 'Cause I know
you're in the market for that.
- Yeah, well everybody dies, man.
- All right. Are you ready for the first one?
Listen to this and tell me, how did he die?
- [Actor] There's blood everywhere.
(blood spattering) Oh.
(dramatic music)
- Oh. There's blood everywhere.
There was an animal involved.
And... - Hm.
- There was some sort of, there was a motion.
- All right. Let me give you some choices here.
Was he A, skewered in the head with some barbecue tongs,
B, stabbed in the back with an ear of corn,
or C, pierced through an eye socket with a rolling pin?
- Wow. Okay. - No animals involved.
So made it a little easier.
- These are all B movies,
because none of those deaths would happen in a movie...
- You'll find out.
- That is respectable.
- I think you could have seen this movie.
- Really? Wow.
- I will say that. - I do like corn.
- So what do you think? What's your guess?
- You know what?
It sounded like it could have been an eye socket,
'cause it felt like it- - Moist?
- It sounded like it went.
It was like.
It went in and came out, so I'm gonna go with C,
eye socket, rolling pin.
- All right. Let's play that clip and find out.
This is "Sleepwalkers" from 1992.
- Oh god. (klaxon buzzing)
Oh, got it.
Wow.
- No vegetables, no dessert.
- Oh.
- They got little zinger in there.
- Oh, it was corn in his spine.
- It was corn in his back.
- That wasn't good sound design.
That wouldn't sound like that.
- Yeah. - Corn in the spine
wouldn't sound like that.
- This is not gonna be easy.
All right, if you get three of these right,
I'll still give you your personalized gravestone.
- Okay, you know what? - I've already made it.
- Four man. - All right. Four.
All right. I believe in.
- Don't give up on me.
- All right. You're a good listener.
- I'm gonna cup my ears from now on.
- All right. Listen to this one.
How did he die?
- [Actor] This is for the Molokai cops.
(dramatic music)
(metal clanking)
(dramatic music)
(man grunting)
- It's in there.
It was like... (crew laughing)
- It was all build up.
- Well, it was, it was in there.
Like, the mixing was off in the movie.
- Was it the, (grunting)?
- Yeah, that was it.
- This is for the Malachi cops?
- Lot of strings. - What did they say?
- This is for the Mal...
- This is for the cops, Malachi.
What?
- I don't, I don't know. - Who cares.
- Doesn't matter. - Just tell me,
what are my choices?
- Was he sliced with a razor blade Frisbee,
diced with barbed wire wrapped hot dogs.
- What?
- Or slashed... - Slashed.
- Slashed with a knife brimmed fedora.
- Was he sliced or was he slashed.
- Now I know you gotta listen through the strings
in that one, but...
- I didn't hear any... I heard a reaction to dying.
He sounded like, (grunting).
Knife brimmed fedora.
Diced.
As much as I don't wanna say this, nor believe it,
I believe he was diced with a barbed wire wrapped hot dog.
(crew laughing)
- No, that one's made up. (klaxon blaring)
But this is from 1987, "Hard Ticket To Hawaii".
Let's find out what did happen.
- This is for the Molokai cops.
- Still don't understand. - Slow mo.
- But I see that it's a Frisbee.
- Look at that.
(dramatic music)
Oh. - Oh ho ho.
Robert Redford goes down hard.
- Ooh. - Ugh.
- Well, oh, look at that speed up.
- Wow. - Oh my goodness gracious.
- You gotta kill people
so people won't see you wearing that thing.
- If you watch that back,
he's bleeding before the Frisbee hits him.
- Oh really? - Yeah.
All right. Now let's switch it up.
How did she die?
(dramatic music) (woman screaming)
(body thudding) (tense music)
(crew laughing)
- There was an animal there, right?
Maybe people just sound like animals when they die.
- Was her head smushed in A, the grip of a hairy Sasquatch,
B, by a high impact basketball pass,
or C, between the lid and bowl of a toilet seat.
- I'm gonna go with the Sasquatch
'cause I believe I heard the Sasquatch
and it definitely sounded like a head squishing.
- All right. This is 1986, "Deadly Friend".
Was the friend of Sasquatch? Let's find out.
(dramatic music)
(woman screaming)
- Oh gosh.
- It was a woman's scream.
(group laughing) (klaxon blaring)
- Oh man.
- That's one heck of a pass.
- Whoa, whoa, chicken with her head cut off.
Oh goodness gracious.
- Yeah.
- Man, that won a few academy awards, I'm sure.
- They could just put the basketball up there
and she could keep acting in the movie.
- Sign her up.
- That's the standard. - For the NBA.
- All right, Rhett, listen up.
- I'm on a roll.
- How did he die?
(man screaming) (cat monster snarling)
(gunshot ricocheting)
(man screaming)
(objects crashing)
(man screaming)
(dramatic pulsing)
- Oh gosh.
- Was he broom attacked by a witch,
kung fu'd by a kung fu master,
or mauled by an evil house cat?
- What, you're asking me to choose between
is whether or not that, (screaming),
was a cat or a kung fu master.
- Well, no, there was clearly a cat sound earlier
in the clip.
- Oh really? - Yeah. Yeah.
- I would hope that you're a good enough friend
to extend an olive branch to me at this point.
- I'm not. - None. Okay.
So I'm gonna go with B, kung fu'd by a kung fu master.
- "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow".
- Yes. - Released in 1978.
You are right. (bell ringing)
This is Jackie Chan.
(man screaming)
- Oh yeah.
- So it was a cat, but it's Jackie Chan.
(man screaming)
(body clattering)
(man screaming)
- Ooh. - Oh, that'll do it.
Every time.
- In the balls.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And that's what did it.
- Death by groin attack.
(bell dinging) - The groin clutch.
- It does happen.
- It happens.
- Okay. All right, I got one.
I feel better about myself.
- How did he die?
(monster farting)
(man screaming)
- [Actor] I don't think he's gonna stop.
(man screaming)
(liquid bubbling)
Come on.
(man screaming)
- Slow death.
- Hmm. - Extended death.
- Right?
- I don't think it's gonna stop, I heard that.
- Was he dissected like a lab rat.
- Oh yeah.
- Inflated like a balloon,
or slowly squeezed like a tube of toothpaste.
- Oh, there was some like expansion sounds in there.
- Oh, okay. - There were definitely
some expansion sounds.
- Rhett's getting forensic.
- Inflated like a balloon.
I don't think it's gonna stop.
I don't think it's gonna stop until it pops,
but I didn't hear a pop, or did I?
- Could that even be in a movie?
Would anyone have like such a base sense of...
- I believe it was, and is.
I'm gonna go with B, Link, inflated like a balloon.
- "Big Trouble in Little China", released in '86.
Kurt Russell.
(dramatic music)
(cheeks squelching)
- Oh, yeah.
(man screaming)
I was right. There it is good,
- Good one, Rhett. - [Actor] It won't stop.
(man screaming)
- Oh, oh, the belt comes off, the boots.
Yeah, the feet are- - The feet are busted.
Look at that. - Yeah. Get outta here.
- His nose is blowing.
- That wasn't him anymore.
That was, that was a puppet at that point.
(bell ringing) - That was prosthetic.
- That was a puppet.
- I think it was prosthetic.
- Okay, okay, look at me,
turning things around for the sweep.
- Well, okay. You got two in a row.
All right.
How did he die?
(dramatic music) (punches throbbing)
(man screaming)
(Link screaming)
- The music was kind of epic though.
It was like- - Yeah, it was.
- This is, you wanted this guy to die.
This was the evil.
- You think it was a bad guy?
- This is a bad guy dying, because of the music.
How would you kill a bad guy?
- All right, let's go with that.
Was this bad guy lowered into a giant food processor,
(Rhett humming)
baked in the oven like a pizza,
or suspended by the eye on a meat hook?
- If you suspend somebody by an eye on a meat hook,
it's a very satisfying way to see a villain die.
So I'm going with C.
- This is 1993 movie "Undefeatable"
which I love the lines at the end of this one.
(man screaming) (kick throbbing)
- Oh.
(bell ringing) I was right, there it is.
The meat hook.
- Raise him on up. (man screaming)
- We'll keep an eye out for you, Stingray.
- Yeah. See ya.
- She had a great line.
- And then he was like, "I gotta get a line too."
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- "See ya." (bell ringing)
- All right. - Hey listen.
Hey, this is quite a comeback, man.
I mean I get this one right, I win.
- Yes. It all comes down to this.
(Rhett sighing)
How did he die?
(man screaming) (aggressive music)
(machine buzzing)
(crew laughing)
- I got nothing for that one.
(crew laughing)
I got nothing.
- Was Mike, I mean he,
electrocuted by curling iron,
squashed by a human sized tomato,
or bludgeoned with a mailbox?
Bludgeoned. Let me say that correctly.
- Mike. - Bludgeoned with a...
I didn't say Mike.
With a mailbox.
- Human sized tomato.
No.
Bludgeoned with a mailbox.
No.
(sniggering)
I think he was electrocuted by a curling iron,
'cause I think y'all made this video
and that's the kind of stuff we got around here.
We got curling irons.
- You don't think we have a mailbox?
- We might, I don't know.
- Have you seen a mailbox around here?
- Not recently.
- All right. Let's find out.
Released in 2016, filmed by Kevin.
Here we go.
(man screaming)
- That's a mailbox.
- (laughing) Gosh.
We do have a mailbox. Crap.
- I'm sorry. - Hold on.
But you, you know what?
- I'm sorry. You lost.
And I'm sorry that Mike is dead, guys.
He was killed by Alex,
who was wearing like a cheeseburger on his head.
- I didn't take you- - With a mailbox.
- I didn't take you up on your offer,
but you did say three outta seven.
Do I still get a prize, please?
- No, I get your prize,
which is your customized rest in peace-
- I'm gonna die next year.
- Yep. (crew laughing)
- If that actually happens,
this is gonna be one crazy episode.
- You're a modest princess. You've said that.
- I have said that. I say that every morning.
- Thanks for liking, commenting, subscribing, and not dying.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Budislav, and I'm from Russia,
and it's time to spin the wheel of mythicality.
(piano tinkling)
- If you're making a B movie,
feel free to use my beard oil
or Link's lip balm
to kill one of your characters.
I'm sure this could go into an eye socket,
be forced down the throat.
Don't do that in real life. Just in a B movie.
- Peanut butter, peppermint.

This thing is going to shock us,
