Sherlock Holmes is a 2009 film directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Strong, and based on the Sherlock Holmes stories. The film updates (or maybe restores) Holmes and Watson as thinking men of action, with the addition of some modern blockbuster tropes and a zany Hans Zimmer soundtrack.When Holmes (Downey) and Watson (Law) interrupt a dark occult ritual and save a woman from being sacrificed, they find that the culprit is Lord Henry Blackwood (Strong). He's already killed five women in a similar manner and, before he is hanged, he claims to Holmes that he will kill three more times after his death.Soon, Blackwood's tomb is found destroyed and his body is missing, sparking rumors that he has risen from the dead. Holmes has other problems, as well: Watson is getting married and is moving out, making the Blackwood case their last case together, and Irene Adler has shown up to hire Holmes for her mysterious employer.A sequel in 2011 titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows introduces Professor James Moriarty, a mathematician, former boxer and criminal mastermind behind a web of mysterious deaths and terrorist attacks across Europe. Holmes sets out to find out what he's up to but discovers Moriarty's mind is a match for his own, and a battle of wits across the continent begins as the two try to outsmart each other.The long-delayed third film is to be directed by Dexter Fletcher, though not much appears to have moved forward on it yet.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet.

Hotter and Sexier: Robert Downey Jr.. and especially Jude Law, who cuts a very different profile from the typical image of Watson. Of course, when you think about it, he couldn't have been drawing in women on moustache alone...

comment
Applied Phlebotinum: Holmes briefly uses a powerful electrode as a weapon which apparently needs to be charged with a hand-cranked generator. To be more precise, this shocking device is perfectly possible (a powerful capacitor with two terminals), but well beyond the technology of the period.

 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_141f6a73
comment
Artistic License – Martial Arts: In order to incapacitate the first mook of the film, Sherlock manually sweeps his leg and punches the side of his kneecap to blow the limb. While not terribly unrealistic, a punch to the side of the opponent's knee would be very difficult to pull in a real life, and would not do as much damage as, say, a kick. (Needless to say, you'd better not attempt to punch an aggressor's knee in real life.) Bareknuckle boxing matches at the time had a more open ruleset than modern day boxing, and included wrestling and some informal striking variety as portrayed in the film. However, a boxer finishing off his opponent with a kick should have made the judges scratch their heads. Presumably justified because they are too shocked (and intimidated) with Holmes' quick victory to notice the fact. In the beginning of the movie, Watson applies a hold on the neck of a lackey attempting to sneak up on Holmes. Due to how quickly the man loses consciousness, as well as the position of Watson's arms, it would appear that Watson is applying a typical 'sleeper' hold. Such holds aren't actually chokes, and render people unconscious by restricting the blood flow from the carotid artery in the neck, not by preventing oxygen from entering the lungs, so Holmes covering the man's nose is completely pointless. Additionally, if Watson is actually supposed to be choking him, then it would have taken him far, far longer to become unconscious.

Scenery Censor: When Irene drops her towel in front of Holmes we only get a brief view of her bare back before she steps behind a dressing screen that blocks her from the head down before she puts her clothes on. When Irene leaves Sherlock naked and Chained to a Bed she is kind enough to leave a pillow strategically place to cover his crotch... and also mischievously leaves the key to his release below said pillow.

You Can't Thwart Stage One
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_15385326
comment
You Can't Thwart Stage One: The Big Bad says early on that he will kill three people and Holmes will fail to save any of them. He succeeds in doing so, but Holmes thwarts his plan before he can attack his fourth and final target. Likewise in the sequel, the Big Bad Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes, managing to pull off his schemes without a hitch while distracting and misleading the good detective at every turn. By the end of the film, with minutes left to go, it looks like The Bad Guy Wins — until Holmes reveals the fruition of his Batman Gambit to get Moriarty's notes, which allow the police to dismantle his financial empire. Even at this stage, Holmes' Awesome by Analysis fighting style (which Moriarty is also capable of) predicts that he will be on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle from Moriarty unless he performs the iconic Heroic Sacrifice over Reichenbach Falls.

 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_1590c545
comment
Local Reference: The villain mentions during his Evil Gloating that he has plans to take over America as well as Britain. Amazingly, this is actually an in-universe Invoked Trope because Blackwood really needed to push the Berserk Button of the American ambassador. Whether he meant to follow through on the threat is iffy.

Tempting Fate: Blackwood's "It's a long journey from here to the rope..." at the end of the movie. Turns out it isn't so long as all that. After Holmes meets with Sir Thomas, he asks Sir Thomas how long he expects to live if the rest of Blackwood's family has been killed, and tells him to consider it as food for thought. It's Harsher in Hindsight given that Blackwood drowns him in his bathtub that night.

Men Can't Keep House: The first time we see Holmes' apartment, it is a darkened disheveled mess, complete with bullet holes in the walls. This trope is indirectly discussed when Mrs. Hudson enters and Holmes teases her for not making her rounds more frequently.

 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: During his Sherlock Scan on the guard at the top of the stairs, Holmes tells himself to deliver a liver shot through the floating ribs, but this is inaccurate, as the liver isn't behind the floating ribs, but the false ribs. Most jarringly, Sherlock then proceeds to hit the left side of the mook's torso, despite the liver being located to the right side. If someone is hanged there are physical signs — a broken neck or deep ligature marks from strangulation, bulging eyes, bowel failure, etc. Watson should have been just a little suspicious of Lord Blackwood's completely unmarked neck, at least. Also the scene where Holmes blocks the chimney while talking with Lord Coward, slowly filling the room with smoke to escape. Both he and Coward keep speaking casually, even though with that much smoke around both should have been coughing their lungs out. Not to mention that Coward would have smelled the smoke sooner than he saw it.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers led us to believe that Irene was warning Holmes about Blackwood instead of Moriarty. And that there would be actual dark forces involved. The warehouse explosion scene in the trailer is cut in such a way that the implication is that Watson has just seen something dangerous happening to Holmes and is doing a Futile Hand Reach.

Say My Name: Watson, while running after the villain with Holmes following a couple hundred feet behind him, trips a bomb wire, hears ticking, and in (what he thinks is) his last living moment, has the presence of mind to turn around with his hand thrown out in the universal "stop" gesture and scream "HOOOOLLLMMES!" to warn Holmes not to come any nearer, as he's about to get blown up.

The Group
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_1ba60173
comment
The Group: The Temple of the Four Orders is an exclusive secret society that supposedly rules the British Empire and manipulates much of the rest of the world. Blackwood takes over and uses it to attack Holmes. Possibly subverted in that the group is likely not as powerful as it likes to think, given the failure of the parliamentary coup and the death of several of its members. Something of a deconstruction as well; the supposedly all-powerful and omnipotent secret society is ultimately revealed to be little more than a bunch of superstitious and ineffectual old men who'll let any old charlatan with a theatrical manner and some admittedly impressive conjuring tricks seduce them with dreams of power and glory.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Tower Bridge is displayed prominently in several shots, well before the climax. The rat's tail that Holmes snips off at Blackwood's factory is how he figures out that Blackwood is using rats and swine to test his new cyanide poison for the Parliament attack. When Holmes and Watson are at Blackwood's tomb, Holmes is seen licking a rock. Later, one of the items he observes in Reordan's laboratory is a honeycomb substance. This is him figuring out how Blackwood got the slab over his tomb broken before burial and then had it glued back together

It's also demonstrated to have a severe limitation; that no allies interfere in the fight. We see this in Game of Shadows when Holmes is about to fight a Cossack assassin Moriarty has sent to kill Simza. Holmes plans out a Curb-Stomp Battle for the assassin, only for not-so-Damsel in Distress to try and shank the guy with throwing knives. His plan thus foiled, he is forced to grab Simza and run.

Token Good Cop: Holmes tends to view Inspector Lestrade and his men are useless or threatening (depending on whether they are investigating the same case or investigating him), with the exception being Constable Clark, a smart officer who is friends with Holmes. This is ultimately downplayed in the climax, and that of the sequel, where Lestrade and his men do become surprisingly helpful.

Watson realises Holmes has forgotten (deliberately or otherwise) to organise his stag party so he can investigate a lead on Moriarty instead, and thus Watson stuck celebrating his impending marriage with Sherlock and Mycroft instead of the lads from the Rugby Club. After expressing his disapproval and storming off, Mycroft says, "He's all me, me me!"

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_351e7cf9
comment
Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Undertones in the main hero and main villain. Sherlock is very much Enlightened; believing in rationality and science, expressing awe and appreciation in the power of industry and believing in justice. Blackwood is very Romantic, having strokes of Ubermensch-ness, belief that Democracy Is Bad, and being very steeped in the occult. Seeing that the hero of the story is Sherlock, the movie seems to come off as pro-Enlightenment.

Noodle Incident: Apart from various Mythology Gags, there's also the second time Irene Adler outsmarted Holmes (assuming the first was a reference to A Scandal in Bohemia). Whatever happened apparently involved a stolen diamond and led to Holmes and Adler sharing a room in the Grand Hotel. The fact that Holmes prepares to defend his life when Adler reaches inside her Victoria's Secret Compartment indicates that things didn't turn out well.

During his Sherlock Scan on the guard at the top of the stairs, Holmes tells himself to deliver a liver shot through the floating ribs, but this is inaccurate, as the liver isn't behind the floating ribs, but the false ribs. Most jarringly, Sherlock then proceeds to hit the left side of the mook's torso, despite the liver being located to the right side.

Combat Pragmatist
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_49fb5ccb
comment
Combat Pragmatist: Watson. He uses any sort of improvised weapon he can get his hands on without a second thought. During the second fight against Dredger he grabs him from behind, using his own coat no less, to restrain Dredger and let Holmes land a solid hit. Holmes has some of this as well, being a master of calculated combat. When he uses the Sherlock Scan combo on his targets, it takes into account every reaction that the target would use; and shuts them down accordingly. The pragmatism in it is that it never lets the opponent get a hit in. When Holmes is getting his butt kicked by the Chinaman, he doesn't hesitate to call on Irene to just shoot him. Simza interrupts Holmes' usual calculated combat style by just throwing a knife into the guy. Which ironically allows the Cossack to play possum and escape, as he was wearing a knife-proof vest. In A Game Of Shadows, Moran is in a lighthouse with a rifle, training the light down on Watson's only avenue of approach, keeping him pinned down. Then Watson realizes he's taken cover behind a naval cannon, which causes one of the best reactions from Moran. Shortly after that, our heroes are trading gunfire with Moriarty's men while racing away from them through the forest. The bad guys decide turnabout is fair play, and the commander decides to deploy "Little Hansel." It's not clear what kind of gun it is, but individual shots fired out of it are powerful enough to rip trees apart. Holmes and Moriarty both make liberal use of this trope during their final confrontation in A Game of Shadows; Moriarty by repeatedly attacking Holmes' wounded shoulder, and Holmes by blowing sparks in Moriarty's face so that he can Take a Third Option.

Snipe Hunt: Variation, in that Holmes sends the police to go find something that actually is there, but still used to get them out of the way so he can do his thing. And steal evidence.

Wedding Ring Removal
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_4d30004d
comment
Wedding Ring Removal: Played with: Holmes does a Sherlock Scan on Watson's fiancée Mary and observes that she has a lighter spot on her ring finger, leading him to the assumption that she was engaged before but left her fiancé for not having enough Gold Digger potential. Mary is outraged and splashes her wine on Holmes. Then she reveals she removed her engagement ring because her former fiancé died.

Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: When the Order approaches Holmes to clear up the mess they ended up creating with Blackwood and offers to allow him to name his price, Holmes coolly remarks that the advantage of being a consulting detective means he gets to pick and choose his clients. He agrees to stop Blackwood... "But not for you. And certainly not for a price."

After Holmes meets with Sir Thomas, he asks Sir Thomas how long he expects to live if the rest of Blackwood's family has been killed, and tells him to consider it as food for thought. It's Harsher in Hindsight given that Blackwood drowns him in his bathtub that night.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: In the pit-fighting scene, Holmes gives up and walked away...at which point his opponent spits at the back of his head. The following No-Holds-Barred Beatdown/Curb-Stomp Battle is performed solely so that the opponent couldn't spit at him again. The fact that Holmes has spied Irene in the audience a few moments before was almost certainly his inspiration for doing so; he'd never hear the end of getting one-upped like that in front of her.

Adrenaline Time
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_5703ecf
comment
Adrenaline Time: An interesting version, as Holmes is able to play out some of his fights before starting, pointing out the weaknesses he'll exploit, and then we get to see the fight again in real time. This is applied interestingly later in the first film; in every fight where Holmes loses badly, the Adrenaline Time sequence is absent, implying he lost because he forgot to think — or didn't have time to; formulating a rational plan is one thing when you're lurking around a corner hiding from a drunkard lookout, but more problematic when a giant Frenchman is bearing down on you. Essentially, it's his eponymous Sherlock Scan, weaponized. It's also used in the Game of Shadows forest chase. Game of Shadows has a subversion where Holmes plans out his takedown of a Cossack hired to kill Simza, but he only gets to accomplish the first two of his planned moves before Simza lobs some of her throwing knives into the Cossack's chest, forcing Holmes to improvise.

And the Adventure Continues: Holmes, Watson and Mary are relaxing after the case is over when P.C. Clark comes by with a summons from Lestrade: a police officer has been murdered and a vital element of Blackwood's device stolen, and Holmes recognizes the M.O. as belonging to a certain professor who's recently been brought to his attention.

Unwitting Pawn
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_733e007a
comment
Unwitting Pawn: As we learn at the end, Lord Blackwood himself is one of Moriarty's pawns. Irene, who ignores Moriarty's Kansas City Shuffle about what component of the machine he is actually seeking. Holmes himself; while he ultimately solves the plot through sheer genius and tenacity, the first two thirds of the movie has him falling into Blackwood's plan and pretty much doing as Blackwood expected. And he ultimately falls for the distraction that allows Moriarty to get what he wanted.

Psychic-Assisted Suicide
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_73418f96
comment
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: Holmes stops Lord Blackwood just as he's about to sacrifice a young woman for a black magic ritual. Blackwood doesn't lay a finger on her; instead the woman is shown thrashing about in a trance on his altar stone, then lifting a dagger to plunge it into her chest before Holmes grabs her hand Just in Time. Given that Blackwood's magic is shown to be mere trickery, he presumably used a combination of drugs and hypnosis on her.

Adaptational Badass: Irene Adler. In the books, she was nothing more than an unusually clever opera singer who happened to get her hands on a compromising photograph, and was smart enough to prevent Holmes from stealing it back. Here's, she's a full-on professional thief and a Femme Fatale who's able to match Holmes in a fight.

Awesomeness by Analysis
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_73733868
comment
This is how Holmes' Awesomeness by Analysis fighting style plays out. Holmes can't account for every possibility, so he puts himself into positions where the most probable action by his opponent best suits moves where Holmes can win. The audience has the benefit of being treated to Holmes' foresight, while his opponents do not, and generally do none of the unpredictable things that could ruin his plan. We are treated to him analyzing how to carry out the fight, which is seen with the moves being played in slo-mo, then we see them again in real time.

Also, during the Action Prologue, Watson gets the drop on a Mook about to strike Holmes and covers his nose to render him unconscious. After a moment or so, Holmes remarks that Watson is a doctor after all. Near the end, Watson has Dredger in a choke-hold and says "Relax... I'm a doctor" before Dredger finally loses consciousness.

Passing the Torch
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_78255ad7
comment
Passing the Torch: It's subtle, but throughout both movies Holmes is often training Watson in his methods, like a school teacher with a student—note how many times Holmes lets Watson take first crack at a deduction, and in the climax of Game of Shadows, even leaves the final question up to Watson while he's out of the room. Likely, Holmes wasn't entirely confident of surviving Moriarty, and wanted to make sure someone could work in his stead.

Hollywood Silencer: Holmes is trying to build one early in the film, much to the annoyance of Watson and Mrs. Hudson. Somewhat subverted, since the silencer does not work. At all. Of note is that the creators have Shown Their Work here, he's using a Nagant, which forces the cylinder forward to seal the chamber, making it the only revolver that can actually be suppressed.

Attack Its Weak Point: In the opening to the first film, Holmes observes that the guard at the top of the stairs is partially deaf, a heavy drinker, and has a slight limp, and proceeds to bring him down with four attacks; one each to the ear, liver, and knee, plus one to the vocal cords to stop his screams. In the second, Moriarty's strategy for beating Holmes in a fistfight is to repeatedly target Holmes' injured shoulder.

Mystical City Planning: Holmes points this out during Sherlock's explanation of figuring out Blackwood's Connect the Deaths scheme: he says that cities have encoded references to the Masonic beliefs added to their design, which Blackwood has used to amplify his pretense of having come back from the dead.

Doing In the Wizard: At the end of the movie, Holmes beautifully deconstructs Blackwood's every known act of sorcery, explaining exactly how each was done via friends in high places, applied science, and plain old theatrics. He also notes that Blackwood had better hope the occult parts were all baseless superstition, since he did the rituals perfectly, save for the last soul he planned to offer...

Bait-and-Switch: When Watson is bailed out of the prison yard and Holmes is not, a rather large and intimidating inmate threateningly informs Holmes that he'd better be getting out of there soon, since "the boys are getting hungry". One scene later, when Lestrade comes to fetch Holmes, there's a loud, noisy commotion in the centre of the yard, with the implication being that Holmes is getting the snot kicked out of him. Lestrade rushes forward with the guards to break it up... only to discover that Holmes is in fact entertaining the intimidating inmate and the others with jokes.

Fantastic Fighting Style
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_88d16ae9
comment
Fantastic Fighting Style: Half averted. What Holmes uses is an embellished form of "Bartitsu," a real-life British martial art based on Japan's jujitsu used by the literary Sherlock Holmes.note Conan Doyle actually wrote Holmes as knowing "Baritsu," but it is not known whether it was perhaps due to a typo or a copyright trouble. However, its application onscreen is liberally mixed with Judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (added by director Guy Ritchie, who has belts in both arts - but limiting to basics Bartitsu actually contained thanks to its judo and jujitsu origins) and Wing Chun kung fu (Robert Downey, Jr.'s primary style of martial arts, which was speculated in-universe by the choreographer of the film as due to Holmes having a book of Chinese boxing which he tested in his bareknuckle fights), as well as some serious Improv Fu. The final duel at the sequel even more closely resembles historical Bartitsu.

Even the Dog Is Ashamed: The scene where Dr. Watson realizes that Holmes deliberately forgot his gun to get him to come along, then almost immediately heads off after Holmes; cue Animal Reaction Shot.

Bullet Time
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_8af25294
comment
Bullet Time: In both films, notably the pier explosion in the first and the forest foot chase in Game of Shadows, in which the sequence continuously moves in and out of it. In this case, bullet time allows us to see one of Moran's bullets grazing Watson's side, and also to emphasize just how fast a round fired out of Little Hansel travels.

Character Exaggeration
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_9002083e
comment
Character Exaggeration: Irene Adler, in the Doyle canon, was just an opera singer who was known for her cleverness, and she went down as an Ensemble Dark Horse for outsmarting Holmes by stopping him from stealing back a compromising photo that she'd gotten her hands on through pure happenstance. In this movie, she's made into a full-on Femme Fatale/Action Girl and a professional thief.

GPS Evidence: After Holmes was taken on a Blindfolded Trip, he is able to tell where they are by the scent from a specific bakery they passed on their way. Holmes determines from trace clues on Lord Coward's clothing what he's done and the fact that he's been helping Blackwood set up a machine in the sewers to assassinate Parliament.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_928ca2cc
comment
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the first film, Holmes deduces that Riordan was killed as soon as his experiments were successful, for this reason. Moriarty knows one simple rule: no loose ends. Which is why Rene is shot with a poison dart by Moran after his assassination attempt is stopped, and is also how Moriarty got Claude to kill himself right in front of Holmes, Watson and Simza. Quoted by Moriarty in the second film when he "dismisses" Irene from their lunch engagement, though on-screen Never Found the Body by Holmes, so who knows (see greenlighted sequel above).

Holmes and Moriarty both make liberal use of this trope during their final confrontation in A Game of Shadows; Moriarty by repeatedly attacking Holmes' wounded shoulder, and Holmes by blowing sparks in Moriarty's face so that he can Take a Third Option.

 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_970c790a
comment
Likewise in the sequel, the Big Bad Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes, managing to pull off his schemes without a hitch while distracting and misleading the good detective at every turn. By the end of the film, with minutes left to go, it looks like The Bad Guy Wins — until Holmes reveals the fruition of his Batman Gambit to get Moriarty's notes, which allow the police to dismantle his financial empire. Even at this stage, Holmes' Awesome by Analysis fighting style (which Moriarty is also capable of) predicts that he will be on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle from Moriarty unless he performs the iconic Heroic Sacrifice over Reichenbach Falls.

Foreshadowing
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: A man sets up a false supernatural occurrence with the intention of using it to manipulate another for his own gain. Are we describing Holmes setting Watson up with a fraudulent fortune teller purportedly telling him about his unhappy future with Mary, or what Lord Blackwood's entire scheme is revealed to be? At the beginning, Blackwood almost tricks Watson into getting stabbed in the face with a nearly-invisible thin glass spike that would have killed or blinded him if not for Sherlock spotting it in time, and would have looked like Watson was mysteriously struck down for trying to attack Blackwood. This sets up all of Blackwood's acts being clever tricks and theatrics that would look like inexplicable magic.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: The Evil Genius has developed a method of radio control seven years before it was invented by Nikola Tesla.

The whole Blackwood plot, although haphazard at first, has a very practical goal: a coup d'état installing Blackwood's supporters in the highest seats of power.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: There is an outstanding amount of "no one was hit" in both films, from both the good guys and bad. Which is exactly the way it usually is in a real firefight, especially with the era's relatively inaccurate guns. While there are more deaths in the second film, most of them are Red Shirts, and/or are at the hands of Sebastian Moran, the Cold Sniper Dragon.

comment
Hero Insurance: Played with; Holmes and Watson commit a few minor crimes (such as breaking and entering and withholding evidence) without receiving any punishment. However, when their attempt to investigate a laboratory owned by Blackwood's chemist, leads to the demolition of a shipyard and the earlier-than-scheduled launching (and not entirely unexpected sinking) of the ship under construction, Holmes and Watson spend the night in the pokey. This is apparently all the punishment they face. Then again, it's explicitly stated that powerful persons intervened to get Holmes out for the shipyard incident and considering that the end result of this investigation is the prevention of a gas attack on Parliament which would have killed most of the MPs and the government and a thwarted coup, it's little wonder that strings might be pulled to get him out of trouble. The sequel later confirms that, as in the original stories, Holmes' brother Mycroft is "indispensable" to the British government, which would undoubtedly smooth such things over a bit.

Near-Villain Victory: Blackwood had pushed the button that would seal the fate of the British Parliament. Irene and Holmes had found the device but were struggling with how to actually stop its operation. Furthermore, they had to deal with Blackwood's henchmen guarding the device, any of whom could have possibly stopped them right at the critical moment.

comment
Actionized Adaptation: The films focus on large action set pieces where Holmes and Watson are regularly brawling with suspects, getting into gunfights with thugs. One notable example is the invention of Holmes using his Sherlock Scan to dismantle opponents in combat. While Doyle's characters were always tough customers (a soldier and a martial artist), the original stories involve very little fighting.

Bifauxnen: Irene Adler dresses in men's clothing in some scenes, probably referencing how she managed to get past Holmes in "A Scandal in Bohemia," where she says that she dresses as a man to enjoy the liberties to which she was otherwise not entitled in Victorian England. She even calls her men's clothing her walking clothes. (Though she doesn't bother to hide her figure or remove her make-up at all - she'd never be taken for a man.)

Hypocritical Humor: "What was that about saving your bullets?" from the first film. The second has Holmes chastising Watson for being rude to Simza, before Watson reminds him that he threw Mary from a speeding train. Also from the second film, Holmes advises Watson "Whatever you do, don't let these gypsies make you drink," then takes a large swig from the bottle Simza just offered him. Watson realises Holmes has forgotten (deliberately or otherwise) to organise his stag party so he can investigate a lead on Moriarty instead, and thus Watson stuck celebrating his impending marriage with Sherlock and Mycroft instead of the lads from the Rugby Club. After expressing his disapproval and storming off, Mycroft says, "He's all me, me me!"

Attention Deficit...

Downey's Holmes is just as frenetic as the Jeremy Brett incarnation, who would often crawl across the floor or fling papers in the air.

Blackwood wins either way, since if Standish submits, it'll be taken as a sign that Blackwood is the one true leader. Never, ever spit on Sherlock Holmes.

comment
Xanatos Gambit/Kansas City Shuffle: The second is part of the first. Everyone assumes that Irene's employer wants the gas, and indeed, her mission is to steal it for him. But it ultimately doesn't matter at all to Moriarty whether the gas is used against Parliament or not, or whether Adler succeeds in stealing the canister. He's really after the first-of-its-kind radio transmitter, a far rarer artifact (yet more versatile) than poison gas, something that would be quite easy to come by in industrial London. Everything she does serves only to distract Holmes and Blackwood.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In the end, while Blackwood himself is revealed to definitely not possess any magical powers, the nature of his death, along with some mysterious coincidences such as a raven that can be keeps appearing throughout the film during Blackwood's scenes, is this. With his death in particular a crane just happens to randomly break away and entangles his neck in chains, hanging him exactly as he was sentenced to be. It could be nothing more than mere coincidence, or the vague possibility that Blackwood genuinely did provoke sinister powers beyond his understanding, unbeknownst to even himself, during his theatrics.

In Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Sherlock and Watson are able to deduce that the man hired for the hotel assassination was the legendary Cold Sniper Sebastian Moran, because shooting a man at night from at least six hundred yards away with a small-caliber bullet would have been impossible for any other Englishman, even with the help of a gun rest and a wind gauge.

Non-Fatal Explosions: The film features three leading characters all caught smack in the middle of a cluster of fiery debris-scattering explosions. Some minor skin loss and smudges are suffered, but everyone keeps their pretty faces, hair, eyes, ears, and bones intact, and soon shake it off. Watson winds up in the hospital for a bit, but he's fine by the end of the film.

Younger and Hipper: The films have been called this, though the actors are actually a good ten to fifteen years older than Holmes and Watson would have been when their partnership began (Sherlockians generally place Holmes and Watson in their late twenties to early thirties at the start of A Study in Scarlet) and just a couple of years younger than Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce when they started in their roles.

Red Herring: You know that sinister-looking black bird? The one that manages to show up and hang around whenever Lord Blackwood kills someone by seemingly supernatural means? It's a perfectly ordinary raven, similar to those commonly found all over the UK. However, if one reads Blackwood's highly-contrived death at the end of the film as an offended response to him using 'real' magic rituals perfectly in his phony acts then the raven could be seen as someone or something keeping tabs on Blackwood until full payment for his blasphemy is due.

comment
The Dung Ages: Both films are far less idealized than previous screen adaptations, and show plainly (as in the Holmes boxing scene) the dirt and filth of poorer quarters and people of European cities. Holmes even makes a few quick references to it, when he says Lord Coward got his clothes dirty with excrement in the sewers. However, technically the film still doesn't go far enough. London should have been constantly obscured by a thick, choking fog, while in the movie it's just cloudy skies.

Hollywood Satanism: Lord Blackwood is a textbook case of it. And yet, justified and subtly deconstructed and reconstructed (well still more subtle than the display itself) as Blackwood isn't actually performing black magic, he is using tricks and the satanic archetypes to install fear and admiration towards him, and use those feelings as a control tool.

Theory Tunnel Vision: Holmes and Watson discuss this trope, in regards to Lord Blackwood's apparent resurrection from his execution. Watson, having seen his fair share of weird shit during his military career, suggests that this time the case could have genuine supernatural elements to it. While Holmes is open to the possibility, he also warns Watson to wait until they have all the facts first. "Inevitably one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

Insistent Terminology: Reardon is a midget, not a dwarf. Holmes is correct about there being a technical difference, a midget has the same body proportions as the norm and a dwarf does not. For the time the movie is set this is correct usage. "Midget" being used as a disparaging term and applied to all small people was a later evolution of language.

On the evil side of things, Colonel Sebastian Moran's button is definitely when someone puts Moriarty in harm's way. When Watson drops a tower on him, the normally cool as ice Moran becomes pretty feral, threatening the German unit commander and his troops with death if Holmes, Watson and the gypsies get away. He also becomes a Determinator, charging into a hail of bullets to ensure their capture and even after being shot in the side by Watson, still trying to (and succeeding in) thin Holmes' herd by firing off a shot that picks off one of the unlucky gypsies.

Faux Symbolism
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_e63f5f28
comment
Faux Symbolism: Invoked in-universe. Blackwood killed the five girls in locations that form a pentagram on a map when lines are drawn to connect them. The four victims he claims (or attempts to claim) during film form a cross through the pentagram. Further, each victim is connected to one of the four animals that make up the parts of the sphinx and is killed in a manner invoking one of the four elements. However, it's all for show — Blackwood has no magical powers and is using the symbolism of his crimes to reinforce the idea he does have powers, making it easier to inspire loyalty and obedience through fear. Sherlock calls out that the ritualistic elements to his crimes are a ruse during the climax, but remarks that Blackwood had better hope none of it is real since "the devil's due a soul."

Never Found the Body
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_f516f938
comment
Quoted by Moriarty in the second film when he "dismisses" Irene from their lunch engagement, though on-screen Never Found the Body by Holmes, so who knows (see greenlighted sequel above).

Ma'am, He's, Like, In a Coma: Irene kisses Holmes after he passes out from the drug she slipped into his wine. She also strips him naked and chains him to a bed while he's in the same unconscious state.

Paying for the Action Scene
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_f6f2994f
comment
Paying for the Action Scene: Holmes engages in a pit fight in a dingy pub and eventually knocks his opponent through the wood wall. He collects his winnings and leaves some of it on the bar counter, apparently as payment for the wall and the extra bottle he takes from the bar.

Spirited Competitor
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_f7d11c61
comment
Spirited Competitor: This is implied to be Holmes's general outlook, that he enjoys the chase and the intellectual challenges his work provides, and rejects cases that don't stimulate him. "My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work." Further emphasized in A Game of Shadows, at Holmes' funeral, where his epitaph reads: "He Played The Game For The Game's Own Sake."

Choke Holds
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_f81fb215
comment
Choke Holds: A thug sneaking up on Holmes is put in a blood choke by Watson. To prevent the guy from screaming, Holmes immediately pinches off his nose and mouth. They chat for a bit even as Watson chokes the guy into unconsciousness, and once the thug has passed out, move on. At the end of the film, Dredger has to be slowly air choked because he's just too darn big for anything else.

Running Gag
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Holmes insulting Lestrade. After it's revealed Lestrade is part of the conspiracy, he punches Holmes. "I've wanted to do that for years." However, since he was actually working with Holmes... Related to this; Holmes will frequently ask to borrow something from Lestrade (such as a pen or a handkerchief), use it to do something rather unpleasant (such as poking at a corpse or messily blowing his nose) and blithely hand it back, much to Lestrade's disgust. Holmes twice attempts to stealthily break into somewhere, only for someone to abruptly interrupt him by opening (or kicking down) the door. Holmes drugging Watson's dog. One that spans over two movies "Get that thing out of my face." "It's not in your face, it's in my hand." "Get what's in your hand out of my face."

Brick Joke
 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: In the beginning, after Blackwood has supposedly come Back from the Dead, Holmes says they have to investigate it to preserve Watson's professional integrity as "No woman wants to marry a doctor who cannot tell if a man's dead or not." It goes unmentioned until the final scene where Holmes is doing the summation of how Blackwood faked his death, and begins his explanation of how he didn't have a pulse by saying he will now restore Watson's doctoral reputation. Also, during the Action Prologue, Watson gets the drop on a Mook about to strike Holmes and covers his nose to render him unconscious. After a moment or so, Holmes remarks that Watson is a doctor after all. Near the end, Watson has Dredger in a choke-hold and says "Relax... I'm a doctor" before Dredger finally loses consciousness.

 Sherlock Holmes (2009) / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: In the first, Irene gets dirty and a little bloody but her face remains unblemished, even after the explosion at the slaughterhouse almost kills Watson. In the second, Sim at least gets a bloody nose in her fight with the Cossack and again during the pursuit in the woods by German soldiers. Both of them are surprisingly clean for the Victorian-era.
