The film opens with a nameless/faceless deep sea diver exploring the sunken ruins of the Orca boat, only to be attacked and eaten by a new shark. We never learn the diver’s identity, but he screams the exact same iconic muffled scream of Hooper’s. Does this imply that Hooper was in fact the diver who dies in the intro? Or were the filmmakers just too lazy and thought nobody would notice the incredibly recognizable Hooper yelp?
shareForgive me, been a while since I've seen this movie, but I believe someone mentions that Hooper is out at sea on some boat or submarine for an extended research project
sharePay attention to the movie, it’s spelled out for you
shareThen why would they recycle his iconic scream? I guess they thought nobody would notice and instantly recogizable sound effect? And is there a reason why you’re an asshole on every response you type? Guess you’re pretty miserable.
shareHe's probably tired of people who watch movies while staring at their phone...
As for "Hooper's iconic scream": Production costs.
Don't worry. Hooper later gets eaten by piranha instead.
shareGoogle "Wilhelm scream".
shareLookup the Wilhelm Scream if you need to learn about sounds being reused.
shareit is pretty confusing because of the hooper scream, but no, it's some random diver and not hooper. they also use the same scream when one of the teenage girls gets attacked towards the film's climax.
shareNo.. Hooper was written as being off on another expedition elsewhere and the diver was just a random nosy diver exploring the ORCA
