Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA scene in this episode shows John throwing a pen to Sherlock, who catches it without even looking at it. Benedict Cumberbatch caught the pen on the first take (using a mirror so he could see it coming), but the cameraman was too slow and missed it. He got it again on the third.
- GoofsThe graffiti artist is apparently painting in the same style made famous by Banksy. This style gets its distinctive look from the fact that it is made by using a stencil. This is so the artist can quickly apply their work and move on without being spotted. Not only did the graffiti artist not have a stencil, but they apparently were taking so long that a friend would know where to find them.
- Quotes
Sherlock Holmes: I need to get some air - we're going out tonight.
Dr John Watson: Actually, I've, uh, got a date.
Sherlock Holmes: What?
Dr John Watson: It's where two people who like each other go out and have fun?
Sherlock Holmes: That's what *I* was suggesting.
Dr John Watson: No, it wasn't. At least I hope not.
Featured review
Good movie, terrifying though
This movies is spell binding. Lots of action some scenes especially at the end are very scary.
Deals with a bunch of smugglers that have a secret code. Many people are killed by this secret organization that uses business men and others to visit China on so called business only to be part of the smuggling gang. They smuggle ancient Chinese artifacts.
One of the killers is known to have climbing skills to get up 4 or more flights on a building. He leaves codes written in yellow paint on things in the room of the person he kills. This story is about a very expensive object that was smuggled into the country and then stolen by one of the smugglers. These smugglers and their friends are targeted by the gang that leaves a black locust on some of the dead.
This is a unique new Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. It is a modern day version, no horses, no candles.
Cars, cell phone and computers are in this movie. Sherlock and Dr Watson have a kind of humor about them which makes the story very refreshing. Benedict Cumberbatch is tall, slim but too much dark curly hair. He talks to himself a lot to figure out the clues. He is likable but too arrogant and wants to show others how smart he is. He talks to the police with no respect and tells Inspector Lestrade how much he/Sherlock is needed by them in "The Study of Pin".
This is disappointing. Other Sherlock Holmes always had respect for those they work with. Martin Freeman, Dr Watson is nice, polite and humble man. He makes up for the Holmes bad manner.
These episodes have great music with Michael Price and David Arnold. It makes the story exciting. If you get the chance watch it.
