** And {{spoiler|Moriarty}}.
** A case could be made for Holmes as well, particularly with the examination of a Mook's body in Watson's room. Holmes knows exactly how to pique Watson's interest, tricks him into supplying the answer to a question, and when he leaves to investigate a factory by the wharf, conveniently leaves his revolver behind, knowing that Watson will follow him to see that he has it. Watson realizes this as well. "He's left it there on purpose."
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: Many aspects of the film (i.e. Holmes and especially Watson - stereotyped as a bumbling sidekick - as action heroes, Holmes as a bohemian) which were criticized as being unfaithful to the original stories actually are faithful to them - it's [[Popcultural Osmosis]] of [[Lost in Imitation|less faithful adaptations]] that makes these aspects seem out-of-place.
** The movie also lacks Holmes's deerstalker and the [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|"Elementary, my dear Watson!"]] catchphrase, both of which are extremely common in adaptations of ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'', but never appear as such in the original Doyle stories.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: Holmes' urban camouflage. He could be hiding in your room, watching what you're doing ''right now''.
