We see this image several more times throughout in a flashback. There are maggots crawling out of his face. There is a scene where they open a coffin and see a dead man. It appears that they are controlling a woman with dark magic and is exorcism-esque. In one scene, Watson tells Holmes that what he's drinking is "meant for eye surgery." A knowledge of the original stories would imply that the substance in question is cocaine, but this is never explicitly stated, and the line is played for laughs. Holmes tries several "experiments" on his dog with things such as a homemade anesthesia. Holmes collapses after being sneaked a sedative in a wine. There is a lot of drinking of wines and hard liquors throughout, such as at restaurants and seen at formal scenes in the movie.Īfter getting out of a gambling fight, Holmes picks up an old fashion beer and takes a swig as the scene ends.

Holmes smokes a pipe on three occasions throughout the movie. Some blasphemy: "Oh my God!" and "Dear God!" Also one "Hell," and one "D*mn." Many times Holmes will find himself dodging blows from things such as a hammer wielded by a large man, these scenes may get intense. There are two hanging scenes, one is a casual way of killing a prisoner on death row, while the other very violent.Ī woman falls off a bridge and appears to die.

An imprisoned character is put on the conveyor which is sawing pig carcasses but is not harmed. Pig carcasses are cut in half by a large saw, there is no gore, but we see the carcasses get sliced and see pieces of raw, sometimes bloody meat lying on the floor. Holmes is hit in the legs and appears to be run over by a boat. Usually.Ī character uses a cattle prod to violently shock a man in three occasions. In short, there is no sound of bones breaking or things like that. Holmes and Watson are stumbled upon and get in many fights throughout, which are bloodless and usually silent except for grunts and music. Some sound effects follow the impacts (a crunch, etc.) Holmes goes through carefully explained thoughts on how he will take down men on several occasions, dislocations of various joints (jaws, knees, shoulders, elbows) and shows the breaking of several legs and ribs as they are hit in slow motion. It can be inferred that the man is nude (obviously, since he is taking a bath), but nothing is ever seen below his chest.Īt the beginning of the movie, there is a large scene where Holmes and Watson fight through several of Black's men. Irene kisses Holmes very hard after he's been drugged.Ī man is seen in a bathtub. In multiple scenes Holmes is teased by Irene, although no sexual activity follows. The following scene Holmes wakes up completely naked with only a pillow guarding the sight of anything.

She is naked and seen from behind, no crucial parts seen when she disapears behind a wall. In one scene, Irene Adler strips down, but entirely covered either by a towel or by a dressing guard.
