Looks like Holmes is pretty cool in this. And I love that part at the end. The maid must have been freaked. :lol

[Big Papa Goat]

I really hope that the slow motion boxing is just for the trailer.

[ZeldaQueen]

Apparently they are having Holmes boxing and cane fighting in the film.

[Big Papa Goat]

I am a bit of a Holmes fan, or at least I was back in high school when I read the stories, but if I recall correctly, Holmes actually did do some kind of boxing, and I think maybe even cane fighting. He was also trained in his own kind of martial arts, baritsu I believe it was called. I hope that Holmes fans aren't going to complain too much about this movie not being ridiculous and not faithful to the original, because the original was ridiculous.

You're right. When I read about this movie, I did some research on Holmes (I never read any of the books, though I probably will now). Holmes was noted as an exceptional boxer, did cane fight, and was very good at martial arts. He was also apparently a frequent user of cocaine and morphine.

I Holmes better - before - he became a James Bond wannabe.
Seriously, why call this Sherlock Holmes?

[Tadao]

To make money Pednaud.

[Kitsa]

I guess it's kind of sad that Sherlock wasn't the first one I thought of.

[Dimnos]

In this movie we find that Holmes was the first 007.

[Sam]

I AM MORE OF A FAN OF JOHN HOLMES. :rolleyes

[Dr. Boogie]

No cane-fighting joke to go with that?

Sherlock Holmes was actually a spy during World War 1 according to one of the later stories. The only thing said about it was that it ruined his English accent, having to work in America or something like that.

This (http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/winston_churchill_a_myth_sherlock_holmes_real/) says that in a study, 58 percent of British citizens thought Sherlock Holmes was real.

And 25 percent thought Winston Churchill was a fictional character.

So he was a British spy that went to America? Dude thats more chicken shit than an American in Canada. What a pussy.

People can be stupid about stuff like that. There's a sizeable percentage of folks who think Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.

Doyle was a gifted writer. So much so that his characters seem realistic. I doubt that this movie will honor that.

[Pub Lover]

ZQ probably hasn't seen that film.

[Tadao]

ZQ hasn't seen enough to be spouting off about peoples ignorance.

[Womti]

[Tadao]

[Tadao]

[Dimnos]

[Womti]

Hey, if it's that good I probably will. I'm always out for good movies.

[Kitsa]

It's just one of those pop-culture movies like The Graduate that everyone should see so that they aren't left out of the loop.

[kahljorn]

It really isnt that great of a movie :( holmes is also correct :(

[ZeldaQueen]

Ah, gotcha.

Looks a bit like Time Bandits, but without the trippiness (or six dwarves at least)

[Tadao]

Yes, It's a bit like Time Bandits. Good Call.

[Pub Lover]

ZQ, have you seen the 1967 movie The Graduate?

[Sam]

[Tadao]

ZQ, have you seen the 1967 movie The Graduate?

It's a bit like Saving Silverman.

[Tadao]

Well nothing when it comes to you.
