Corrected entry: Holmes and Dr. Watson are being ferried across the Thames the first time. Watch "Watson" change his jacket. The shot is obviously computer animated.

Corrected entry: After Holmes and Watson get to the factory on the river and see that Adler is chained to a meat hook headed for the bandsaw, the voice of Blackwell tells them that she followed them there. How was it possible for her to have followed them when they got there by a slow boat and then how could she have managed to have already gotten captured and chained up when they had just gotten there?
Correction: Simple. She followed them and as they were looking around the room with the chemicals, Blackwood (or an associate of his) captured her and hung her up. It wouldn't have taken them long to tie her up and hang her on the hook.

Corrected entry: After the explosion in the factory, Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler are all shown with scars from the blast. Watson's injuries are on his left side, despite the fact that it was his right side that was facing the explosion. Since he was injured by flying shrapnel, it should be his right arm and shoulder that is injured, not his left. Likewise, Adler's scars are on her right side, when her left side was facing the explosion.
Correction: There were multiple explosions during this scene and both Adler and Holmes are shown to move up and down the corridor with both side facing the blast. She could have received her injuries whilst she was facing with her right side to the blast and received none while facing with to the left. As for Watson, he was only seen for a moment after the blast and we have no idea what happened afterwards. He could have been tossed around by the blast and landed onto something that injured his shoulder or some other explanation. Since the viewer cannot see what is happening to him, you can't call it a mistake.

Correction: I just watched this scene and nothing seems out of the ordinary about Watson's movements as he puts on his jacket.
