    • Trivia
      According to Deadline, after disastrous test screenings, Sony attempted to sell the film to Netflix, which declined.
    • Goofs
      At Moriarty's trial, the judge draws particular attention to his gavel. British judges have never used gavels.
    • Quotes

      Holmes: A bit of morning cocaine always helps the brain.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with a fake quote from a Hannah Montana episode; Season 2, Episode 4. "Logic is the sword by which we slay ancient superstitions. But lo, the heart has its own truths to tell us."
    • Alternate versions
      US and international versions have two different pre-title scenes, showing how the pair first met:
      • In the US release, Watson helps a bullied Holmes when the two are children.
      • In the international release, Watson attempts suicide above Holmes' garden, where he is growing a large vegetable. Holmes manages to convince Watson not to, although he is actually suggesting alternative methods instead, which Watson misinterprets. Nevertheless, Watson accidentally falls onto Holmes' vegetable.

    I was wrong
    I always thought giving birth was the most painful thing I would ever experience. I was wrong. Watching 5 minutes of this movie was far more painful.
