Here’s the grand-daddy of sections on the Wing Kong Exchange – the Sound Archive, first established on GeoCities way back in 1996.
I have compiled and categorized my favorite sound clips from the Kurt Russell movie all in wav and RealAudio format. Each clip was digitized at 11025 Hz and most are under 100k. If the clip you want to hear is unavailable, see the bottom for info. Yellow-italicized quotes are my personal favorites!
If you experience any problems or want to request a sound not here yet, please contact me.
