Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime, Mystery, Thriller
Continuity: The first time Sherlock shows his camouflage suit, its brown colour changes between the first and second shot. The first one matches exactly that of the room, but the second doesn't. Clearly the first one was achieved with a green-chroma-suit, and the second angle was a coloured fabric.
Continuity: Position of hat changes when Watson wakes up at his wedding.
Continuity: When Sherlock is fighting the Russian, he falls on a cart filled with seeds, which cover his right eye. When the angle changes, a frame later, the eye is clean.
Continuity: The handkerchief on Moriarty's chess table changes positions between shots.
Factual error: In the scene where Renč was dying, Dr. Watson examines the dying man and the poisonous arrow that hit him, and concludes that the venom used was curare. Curare is a paralysing poison that causes the body to relax to the degree that respiratory muscles stop contracting and the victim dies of asphyxiation. René on the other hand perished in strong cramps and foaming of his mouth.
Continuity: On the wedding day, the bottle under Holmes' car changes positions between shots.
Factual error: In the scene at the peace-conference, Sherlock says that he had been to one of the professor's lectures in Oslo, although Oslo was called Christiania during Sherlock's entire life period, and wasn't renamed before 1925.
Factual error: In the scene where Holmes enters the factory in Germany, a map can be seen on a table with small German black-red-gold tricolor flags sticking up from it. However, the flag of the German Empire at the time of the film's setting (1891) was black, red, and white, and was so from 1871-1918.
Continuity: In the sequence where Holmes and Watson escape Meinhardt's arms and munitions factory with the help of the gypsies, Watson is clipped by a bullet in the slo-mo sequence at the bottom of his rib-cage on the right side. Later, in the train, he is seen stitching his wound on the left side.
Other: When Holmes and his gang are running from the Germans through the forest, one of Moriarity's German lackeys yells that it is time to introduce them to "Little Hansel" (in subtitles). Strangely, what he really yelled was, "zu viele fuchse fuer die kleine huene," or "too many foxes for the little chickens." Not sure why they made such a change in dialogue (where the German phrase was ever thought to fit in).
Revealing: When the movie starts, there's an aerial view of London's rooftops. The smoke coming out of the very first chimney doesn't move, revealing it's a painting.
