Directed by: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Jared Harris
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Watson goes to the telegraph office and finds it is locked, he kicks the door in, visibly damaging the frame. But once he comes out the frame is fixed and the door is lockable.
Suggested correction: When Watson is leaving the telegraph office the door frame is still visibly broken, but apparently not enough to stop the door from closing and latching.
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 2nd German Empire at the time of the film's setting (1891) was black, white, and red, and was so from 1871-1918.
Mycroft Holmes: Good evening, Mrs Watson. I'm the other Holmes.
Mary Watson: You mean there's *two* of you? Marvelous!
Trivia: After being cast in this film as Professor Moriarty, Jared Harris was asked to re-dub Moriarty's dialog from the original film, which was previously provided by an unknown actor. This new version of the audio is often used in television broadcasts of the first film.
Question: How was Sherlock and his home team able to just take Moriarty's fortune at the end? What exactly were the grounds established justifying taking all of his stuff?
Answer: They have direct evidence that Moriarty is trying to start an international conflict and trigger a war to profiteer from. It makes perfect sense for the police to seize Moriarty's assets and fortune since they're being used for and were attained from major criminal activity.
