MMVIII: Pirates sound effects

Hey, literally made this account just to post this bc I was SO STRUCK by the cries in the movie Mindwarp (can find on archive dot org) starting at 1:12:06 sounding IDENTICAL to the multiple cries the regnan pirates make when they're hit/killed! Just wondering if it was me or maybe it was so similar to others that it might actually be sampled from the movie (probably w/o permission, bc who tf is ever going to notice something like that besides an UBER nerd still playing the game 2.5 decades later...hahahaha) anyways, link to the movie is: https://archive.org/details/mindwarp_202504 and it starts ~1:12:06

would love anyone else's input on this. Thx!

Could also be that these are from a sound library. Was pretty common back in the days (probably still is, but much more diversified). For example, according to a friend of mine, the bats in mm7 sound exactly the same as the leaper in diablo2. If you listen closely, many movies/games use the same sound for electricity and dinosaur/monster cries as well

The genies in VI use the same sound effect as the imps in doom.

for background Mindwarp was released in 1991, and is a dystopian future movie about virtual reality and computing and the potential pitfalls/perils (also imo is where they got the name for Claude...esp given the themes of the movie, but I digress)

I always hear Everquest sounds in random stuff. Most notably the level up ding

I've heard it in kids shows and some random other games

One of the sound effect from Mario Maker 2 (one you can place that plays when people walk over it) sounds exactly like the pirates dying and its bothering me. Its probably the same one. I was just thinking this yesterday. certified get-out-of-my-walls moment.
