- In 1890 London, private detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. John Watson prevent the ritualistic murder of a woman by Lord Henry Blackwood, who has killed five other young women similarly. Inspector Lestrade and the police arrest Blackwood. Three months later, Watson is engaged to Mary Morstan and moving out of 221B Baker Street; while he enjoys their adventures together, Watson looks forward to not having to deal with Holmes' eccentricities. Meanwhile, Blackwood has been sentenced to death and requests to see Holmes, whom he warns of three more unstoppable deaths that will cause great changes to the world. Blackwood is subsequently hanged.
Holmes is visited by Irene Adler, a former adversary who asks him to find a missing man named Luke Reordan. After her departure, Holmes follows her as she meets with her secret employer, and only learns that the man is a professor and that he intimidates Adler. Meanwhile, sightings of a living Blackwood and the discovery of his destroyed tomb lead to belief that Blackwood has risen from the grave. Reordan is found dead inside Blackwood's coffin. Following a series of clues from the body, Holmes and Watson find Reordan's home and discover experiments attempting to merge science with magic. After they survive a battle with Blackwood's men who attempt to destroy the lab, Holmes is taken to the Temple of the Four Orders, a secret magical fraternity with considerable political influence. The leaders-Lord Chief Justice Sir Thomas Rotheram, U.S. Ambassador Standish, and Home Secretary Lord Coward-ask Holmes to stop Blackwood, a former member of the society and Sir Thomas's secret illegitimate son.
That night, Sir Thomas drowns in his bath as Blackwood watches, and the next night Lord Coward calls a meeting of the Order. He nominates Blackwood to take command in place of Sir Thomas and Blackwood reveals himself to the group. Standish attempts to shoot Blackwood but bursts into flames when he pulls the trigger of his gun, and runs out a window to his death. Lord Coward issues an arrest warrant for Holmes, causing him to go into hiding. Holmes studies the rituals of the Order and recognizes their symbols in Blackwood's murders that were staged at specific locations; from this he deduces the targets of the final murder are the members of Parliament. With the aid of Lestrade, Holmes fakes his arrest and is taken to see Coward, where he uses evidence on Coward's clothes to deduce Blackwood has conducted a ceremony in the sewers beneath the Palace of Westminster.
Holmes escapes and he, Watson, and Adler find Blackwood's men in the sewers guarding a device based on Reordan's experiments, designed to release cyanide gas into the Parliament chambers and kill all but Blackwood's supporters, whom he has secretly given an antidote. Blackwood comes before Parliament and announces their impending deaths, then attempts to activate the cyanide device by remote control, but it is disabled by Adler. Blackwood flees Parliament and sees Adler and Holmes in the sewers, and pursues them to the top of the incomplete Tower Bridge. Blackwood fights Holmes, as the latter deduces how all of Blackwood's supposed supernatural feats were the work of science and trickery. Blackwood plummets off the bridge and falls entangled in a noose of chains, killing him when the chain wrapped around his neck hangs him. Adler explains to Holmes that her employer is Professor Moriarty, and she warns that Moriarty is not to be underestimated, and "just as brilliant" as Holmes and "infinitely more devious."
As Watson moves out of 221B, the police report to him and Holmes that a dead officer was found near Blackwood's device. Professor Moriarty used the confrontations with Adler and Blackwood as a diversion while he took a key component, based on the infant science of radio, from the machine. Holmes looks forward to the new case and new adversary. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Blackwood was right about one thing, it was a long road to the Rope, but a much shorter one for the Chain.
Oof
Touché
You take the high road and I’ll take the low road.
Talk about hanged properly....
Yep and he was still hanged
Lord Blackwood: "It's a long journey from here to the rope."
The Devil: "... and I took that personally."
"So I used a chain."
The Lord given and The Lord taketh away.
The devil isn't in charge of that
"Who said anything about rope?"
“The Devil is due a soul I’d say...”
My favorite line in the movie.
What's that mean?
@@elijahhernandez906 I'd assume he means that it's about time that the Devil collects a new soul. Blackwood's.
My interpretation is that despite Blackwood's "magic" being exposed, invoking the Devil's power still costs a soul.
translation: you own your soul to the devil.
Blackwood: For God's sakes holmes, cut me loose!
I love this scene so much because you can tell even Sherlock is thinking "was that just a coincidence" when Blackwood fell. Such a clever ending because, was it a coincidence or was Sherlock right? Was the devil due a soul?
Either all coincidence or Blackwood was messing about with stuff he had no control over, love it either way
I’m still upset that no one ever talks about how great these movies actually were
I agree with Zachary Jones. I truly do.
Really good movies they should actually make all the books he plays a good Sherlock holmes
The best movie in last 10-15 years , great cinematography, fantastic background score, marvelous acting, Jude law and Robert Dw Jr and whole start cast was awesome
They were good, but I think you need to watch more movies.
Ahead of their time I'm afraid
This is the perfect ending for this movie.
Throughout the story, Sherlock and Watson deal with events that seem like magic, but were instead parlor tricks and chemical interactions. And right at the end when everything is revealed to be fake magic, Blackwood is spontaneously executed by a series of coincidences. Sherlock, who doesn't believe in magic, is witness to these supposedly random events. And on the last moments afteward, he must be thinking "How did it happen?", almost as if that was something more than a "Coincidence".
One of the best ways to summarize such an event is the following quotes:
"'I'd like to believe it were all just coincedences, it'd make sense... but there's just so many."
He planned it all, he is after all the Greatest Detective in the world (except for Batman his relative in the DC Comics Universe)
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. And just like that, he was gone."
The Devil was due a soul.
@@voidjockey82 who said this?
Blackwood: It's a long road from here to the rope.
The Devil: You're right, guess the chains will have to do.
😅😅😅😅
It shows how gutsy Sherlock Holmes is, he performed a basic occultic divination ritual to gain insight into how Blackwood's mind works. Fortunately he was wise enough to pull himself back from the brink before he fell even further down the proverbial rabbit hole as it were.

Always liked how the crow flies away once Blackwood is hanged. As if it's the reaper himself taking his soul to hell.
Blackwood did cheated death, so it's only fair.
Sherlock did say "the Devil's due a soul"
Blackwood may not believe in the supernatural... but he may have unknowingly angered supernatural forces with his mock sermons and mock sacrifices.
3:11 "Nevermore" cried the raven....
Blackwood should have kept his hand at the level of his eyes.....
Phantom of the opera nice reference
So the raven doesn't peck them out?
It was also excellent how the movie flashed back to the various clues Sherlock and the audience saw but didn't think too much of. Showing the clues were there.
The bridge under construction is Tower Bridge, which was worked on from 1886 to 1894.
In the last scene, when Holmes is explaining how Blackwood eluded death with a hanging rig, there is a Mook Yan Jong dummy (instrument for practicing wing chun) visible in the background as a further nod to Robert Downey Jr.'s choice of martial art.
Sherlock Holmes is one of the rare movies that I will never tired of rewatching
Same
The ending made me gasp, it's crazy how the simple shot of a chain made me instantly understand what happened
When you drop your phone while wearing headphones
I love the look on Holmes face after Blackwood dies. First surprise like "damn the devil really did collect" then a bit of vindication like "well that's what you get when you mess with shit like that"
Holmes face watching him die is me watching a workplace accident from a safe distance
I lile that Blackwood screams ''For god's sake''
As if to show what a hypocrite he really is.
Probably reading too much into it but i find it funny
Blackwood probably didn't want to go to the bottom of the Thames
Hans Zimmer brings it again! That score at 2:52 is absolutely fantastic!! 🤌
This effortless deconstruction by Holmes of Blackwoods plans were his real defeat.
Holmes is announcing he kne all along that Blackwood was fake and he demonstrates this while Blackwood screams for mercy.
He beat him
He broke him
He humiliated him
Then saved his life.
He dominated the hell of Blackwood at the end.
What else can you expect when a detective faces off against a magician.
That last sentence though, nicely worded 👌
@@pepehorhae very big thank you from a wannabe writer :)
This scene is the perfect representation of the: « I'm gonna destroy this man whole career »
*whole career.
Dont invoke the dark powers. It's a reverse Pascal's wager, they either dont exist and you're wasting your time or they do exist and you've called on something which views us as prey, something not like us at all.....which you've let in.
where is that quote from?
@@WarriorVVanaB me.
I like it
They are pretty shitty predators if they need our words, signs and other rituals to be allowed into our world.
@@Fisher9001 telemarketing scams rely on the victims co operation.
I like that Blackwood dies the same way as Clayton in Tarzan.
How did Sherlock figure out Blackwood had the guard paid off to pretend to be possessed??
By eliminating all impossibilities, you'd be left with the truth
He may have simply observed that the guard in question had more money that he should have
Blackwood being a high ranking official (and part of the secret society) definitely has connections & clout to make things happen
Answer: He's Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock's clever. Once he knew how Blackwood's more elaborate tricks worked, deducting how the guard was "cursed" was a simple bonus question.
One thing that took away from the scene is there's no way his head stayed on his body after that drop with that weight in free fall as well. Add the chain and his head would have popped off like a bad party favor. Other than that a brilliant scene.
One of the greatest scenes of all time
Classy.
They don't make movies like this anymore :(
I love everything about this scene. Is so well done and badass
Blackwood was undone by...the Chain of Events.
Quite litterally the chain
BLACKWOOD: "It's a long journey from here to the rope."
ME (And possibly THE DEVIL): "Actually...it's closer than ya might think, Blackwood."
Holmes final comment after the fall could have been, " Not as far as you might think."
RDJ is the best Sherlock. Ohh he is probably one of the most charismatic actors.
So did the devil or God kill Blackwood?
I'm assuming it was the devil.
If you would like to abode by this interpretation them Holmes foiled his plan and made Blackwood unable to complete his contract with the devil, signed intentionally or not, so his soul was taken instead. Then again the devil punishes the wicked on god's command.
@@voidjockey82 So the devil did the deed either way then?
@@johnduckworth3866 Depends on wether or not God was in an Old Testament mood or not. ; )
He could have done it hinself and condemned the soul to hell
or (and which is much more likely given Holmes' notion of Blackwood "better hoping that it's nothing but superstition as you perfomed each of the rituals perfectly" and "the devil's due a soul" plus the reocurring motice of the crow as tze Devil collecting souls)
the devil did it.
@@johnduckworth3866 Call it divine punishment if you want or taking notice that a crow or raven has been following black wood everywhere that death has taken his due everybody knows doesnt like to be cheated
It reminds me the Frollo's death on The Hunchback of Notre Dame from Disney.
Great film. Very gothic.
Very clever I must say Blackwell
Using the illusion of magic with the power of innovation and science at your disposal.
First was simple which was pure bribery because after all what kind of guard pretends to choke for a couple of minutes yet still not exhibit any signs of death or possession.
Next part was simple by finding a way to break sandstone tomb in advance was impressive using ancient methods that Egyptians used for their tombs.
Then the next phase of your plan was to kill your father by making it look like he was cursed. Which was clever using the chemical combination of copper and water that could’ve easily been washed away.
What came after using that odorless flammable liquid which was quite effective had it not been for Watson to spot it out.
Finally your chemical killing machine by making the illusion of sorcery.
Bro when the thunder rumbled god was saying “i take credit for that”
2:23 you can tell that Blackwood was doomed
One of my favorite movie ever ❤
OK but imagine if Standish used an umbrella
That would have made it a bit awkward. At best, Standish would have been shocked that the first bullet (the rigged one) didn't fire until he decided to try again.
*An Raven shows up*
Me: Oh Sh*t Death is near
Holmes: There was never any magic
Mark Strong: Because the adeptus astartes does not support this action
I still don't understand how Blackwood's dad drowned. His head was never submerged under the water.
It was submerged, but we never saw it. Maybe it was only partial.
The what we saw was the paralytic in action, most likely he slipped just low enough to drown off screen
EDIT: never mind I just rewatched that scene and the tap never got turned off, so the water rose to drown him
There was a paralytic compound in his copper bathtub that was triggered by the bath water. The poor guy was rendered motionless in mere moments and his body slid underneath the water. To be frank, if it was full body paralysis I can't even tell if him drowning was a better way to go than suffocating due to his lungs no longer producing oxygen.
Anyone know the name of the track in this scene? I love the music.

Simple science we can say but not magic. There are many people who use things that look like magic but are not to trick us in real life also. If we could use our mind and observation skills like Sherlock Holmes then we could all be like him and catch the science behind the magic to tell the truth behind magic tricks. Which is more better science or magic they ask? I vote for science.
You forget the very purpose of these tricks. To entertain. Magicians are not wizards or conmen, they're masters of illusion and entertainement. Were you as smart as Sherlock, all the amazement, all the magic would die, and you'd just be left seeing some convoluted hand movements. Sometimes, just sometimes, just for a moment, ignorance can be bliss, and being tricked can be beautiful. Why rationalise what is meant to bedazzle you ? Why would it be bad for a person to see more than science ? Why is it wrong to dream ?

Batman is supposed to have explanation scenes like this as well.
Stand aside fanboy. *THIS IS* what you call a detective.
I still don’t get it how the candles are put out or why the girl attempted to stab herself or string in Blackwood hand is for
The girl was probably drugged, and the candles could have easily had some hidden mechanism for extinguishing them.

Blackwood is not as strong as moriarty as moriarty has equal skill and intelligence as shelock holmes so sherlock will face his equal match
The thing you have to ask yourself is did Moriarty survive the fall along with Sherlock Holmes
Are rituals really magic or what?
czcams.com/video/IrcEzUvIqoI/video.html
Yes and no. While blackwood performed all the rituals perfectly. everything he did can be explained by science, or simply bribing people.
It's left up to the viewer's decision.
All of Blackwood's murders and tricks have a scientific logic, most of which Holmes just gave.
But throughout the movie there are hints and nods that there might some truth to this magic.
For example, when at the start of the movie Holmes and Watson interrupt Blackwood's attempted ritualistic murder, a sudden gale of wind came and blew out all the candles, despite them being underground.
Whenever Blackwood performed a murder after his faked death, a crow suddenly appeared which was then again present for Blackwood's death.
Speaking of which, that was an incredible coincidence, to not only be interrupted just as he was about to kill Holmes with the axe-head but also be hanged like he was supposed to at his trail. Holmes did say "You better hope it's nothing but superstition as you performed all the rituals perfectly." and "The devil's due a soul I say."
So while the rituals technically didn't didn't help with the murders, Blackwood's own death might have been supernaturally caused.
Sherlock basically sums up all his fraud acting
There are a few things wrong with this scene:
1 Sherlock had no clues with which to deduce that Blackwood had paid the guard. Added to which the man was taken to "the infirmary" so they would have easily found nothing wrong with him had they checked which they obviously should have.
2: if the "mixture of egg and honey" was "designed to be washed away by the rain." then Blackwood just got lucky with the rain. Additionally, the coffin we saw Reordan in was obviously airtight, and the police didn't mention that it was not the same coffin as the one Blackwood was in, and even if it had been the tomb itself was airtight. Blackwood should have suffocated in it before he got out.
3: Sherlock wasn't there when the American ambassador died, so he couldn't have known about the "rigged bullet", nor could deduced that Blackwood had used "the same chemical compound" on the wharf. All the public, who weren't the members of the order who were present at the time he burst into flames, were aware of was that he'd burnt and fell, so the newspaper wouldn't have revealed anything to him. The stuff in Reordan's laboratory wouldn't have been enough for him to make the deduction.
4: there is no "antidote" to cyanide gas, even if it had been "refined in the bellies of swine".
5: none of this explains the constant appearance of the raven/crow.
6: none of this explains how Blackwood was able to get that woman in the crypt to nearly stab herself.
7: how the hell did Blackwood get above Irene in the place he dropped from so quietly and in the short time available to him?
Look I get it: this is fiction, it's very spectacular, very flashy, very thrilling, very action-packed, very musical, very....well... American.
But honestly, as a detective movie, this is a stupid mess.
1. Considering it's implied the cult has influence over the police it's not too far out there to assume there was some sort of deal going on there
2. he could of just watched the weather idk exactly what time period this is set in but I'm sure they had TV if not at least weather detecting technology
3. seeing the use of it in the explosion and the testing in the lab it may of just been an educated guess on his part
4. you got me there lol
5. to represent death
6. maybe the ritual actually did work? or blackmail that if she didn't stab herself something bad would happen, however you are correct that this wasn't explained
7. again you got me there
4. Antidotes to cyanide include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate.
Hear me out
1. Well let's be real they ain't got a procedure to check posession and medicine sucks at that time. Doubt they fan actually verify whether or not he was posessed
2. Have you considered he could've been out of the tomb the whole time ?
3. I mean, think about it a sec. A person uses a specific compound that just so happens to perfectly fit that one other murder they made ? Also, I mean, the gun set off the fire and didn't shoot an actual bullet, so it's an easy deduction to say the bullet was rigged
4. Fun fact, there is a way to cure cyanide poisoning through a specific type of charcoal and some other stuff. Also, he could've just thought he found an antidote and assumed "eh, good enough".
5. "Lotsa birds today, innit, mate ? Must be bloody Satan at it again !" That's what you sound like. No, birds aren't proof of paranormal.
6. Hear me out, some drugs make you EXTREMELY susceptive to suggestion. An example is scopolamine, I believe ?
7. Like, idk, maybe he just runs faster and knows the place better.
And that's what acurrently sleep-deprived teenager with average intelligence could figure out. Now imagine sherlock bloody holmes.
Think about how you could be wrong before assuming you are right and then you can start yapping about
