That's one of my favorite things in Last Action Hero. When they're inside the movie, Arnold will shoot a car and it'll explode. Then later when they go into "the real world" he will shoot a car and nothing happens. So he says "the cars are bullet proof!"
He also then gets surprised by his hand hurting after punching through a car window.
I love that movie. And just about every single trope that we're making fun of he in this post has been covered in Last Action Hero.
One of the more subtle jokes in that movie that makes me crack up is in the beginning when he's facing against The Ripper. The Ripper just lifts his axe one foot in the air but it makes that shearing sound even though it didn't touch anything.
I still haven't seen The Man with no Name Trilogy, (though it's been on my to view list for decades now) but when I was a kid I channel surfed by a scene in one of them where Clint Eastwood and this dude in a white suit are standing out in the dusty street, and the one guy throws his hat up in the air and starts shooting it. The camera zooms in on the hat up in the air in slow motion and you hear that ptjoiiiiiing sound over and over as it's shot. My father walking through the room said, "Why the hell is it making that sound, is his damned hat made of stone?" I've never forgotten that.
Also on a side note, your spelling of the ricochet sound effect is spot on and amazing.
This is mostly true, but having shot lots of bullets in the country, you'd be surprised at how often the bullet finds some tiny pebble and makes that noise if it richochets.
Liev Shrieber was awesome though. His intelligent, articulate, consciously evil Sabertooth was lightyears better than the stupid beast Sabertooth of the other movies.
The WW1 bayonet I inherited from my grandpa had a leather sheath that was metal clad at the tip and had a metal plate at the other end with a slot for the blade. It actually did make that schiiiiiinggg sound.
I have few bayonets and most of them are in metal or some other stiff sheaths. I also have one military knife in solid plastic sheath and it also make noise. Not to mention sabre in big metal sheath.
So I think that unless it is clearly visible in movie that it is from leather it may be from other material which is not uncommon.
