Wow, it didn't even register as being one of the most cliche lines ever, until I read the text out in your comment! Mark Strong is so good in this movie UGH.
The part where Standish falls out of the window while he was on fire made me think of the part in The Lord of the Rings when Denethor is on fire and runs off the edge of the castle to his demise.
The entire plot would have been foiled had he used an umbrella, loaded another round in his pistol, had it rained sufficiently to wash away the flammable liquid or simply left his soaked raincoat at the hanger before joining his fellow order members...
2:58 "Don't be afraid," says Blackwood, with the sunburst like a halo behind him.That's some excellent angelic imagery... although, in this case, the angel in question is Lucifer.
@@thedarkoracle4807 it mostly appears as a motif rather than a full piece on the soundtrack. Pretty sure it's briefly on Psychological Recovery, though. Love the soundtrack for this movie
3:13 _They didn't know you'd given them the antidote._ Blackwood does realize that antidotes tend to work best _after_ the victim's been poisoned, not a day before, right?
Depends. The imporant part is that you have a compound in your body that, while not damiging to the organism, are more eager to react with the poison than the poison is with your body whithout creating another poisonous substance. So if the antitude was a chemical compound that remeained in the body for a longer time it would still be effective as the airboumd cyanide derevation was entering thr bloodstream through the lungs.
Later on, Lord Black Wood used the same compound to blow up the wharf! An odorless, tasteless flammable liquid, yet it burned like lamp oil! It was sprayed on Standish from above, and he mistook it for the rain around it as he entered the temple!
Most likely one of Blackwood's compatriots had control over the sprayer with the order to only spray Standish. The excess would have been washed out by the rain.
There is a flaw here (unless they do a flashback). Blackwood says “tomorrow at noon”. But after this scene, Sherlock looks at the dead body (and its clearly daytime) and it leads to the slaughterhouse (nighttime). So either a day passes and they messed up, or after the meeting where Standish is killed, or possibly before, Blackwood went to get the machine from the slaughterhouse. “What a busy afterlife you’re having.”
That boat!! Whoa!! I betta get my ass back to heaven. Except this scene depicts a merger of good and evil. I painted that Pyramid for reason once. This movie has a lot of triggers for me. But it's like the script writers were afraid to really delve in into the Super natural. So Holmes got all this plot armor
IF the "rain" was actually flammable liquid as deduced but Sherlock Holmes in the end, why didn't the whole court yard go up in flames when that man dropped from the window?
The courtyard might’ve been so diluted by the rain that it wouldn’t be able to catch so effectively as Standish did, or perhaps it’s because he landed on the carriage instead of the front door where the liquid would’ve been most concentrated compared to the rest of the area.
Well it was actually raining outside. So once the liquid hit the ground, it would’ve mixed with the rainwater and likely have been diluted. Plus only the area around the front door was being doused in said liquid, and we aren’t sure where exactly his carriage was in reference to it.
@Marko Botic I think in the the context of this question, the guy was asking why didn’t ignite as the flaming body fell outside back into the “flammable rain”
I totally forgot he was the American Ambassador in this movie too haha. Probably immediately thought, "Oh great, Blackwood is over confident, has no idea what it would require to conquer & retake America...and he's going to ruin us in the process." Doesn't matter how weak America was at the time. They have geography on their side. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I wouldn't of played chance as lord blackwood did with that that one round was designed to back fire so the rest of the gun was operational if,I remember so if he discharged that round prior to that moment he would of been shot
It was a rigged bullet in standish's gun, all he needed was a spark from the phosphorus to ignite the karosene that he'd been drenched in prior to his entrance, being that it was odorless he mistaked it for rain as he walked in.
True. But the plan was not to conquer it by force, but through order. If Strandish, an abassador of the U.S, were to join him. Blackwood would be able to infiltrate the White House through him and starts gaining follower from inside out. Once he have enough member in the U.S government, all he has to do is appears there and perform some tricks to show how powerful his "magic" is. Especially since he would have already become well-known should the poison in the parliament goes off.
I'm 99% sure that's why Standish finally went against him...He was the American Ambassador and knew better than any of them what "retaking" America would require. Blackwood would ruin them trying to attack America and he knew it. _(His face when listening Blackwood go on about how weak America is just screams "omg you cannot be trusted to make foreign policy decisions" lol.)_ Doesn't matter how weak America was (and it was *very* weak, Blackwood was correct; we were in no place to fight another war at that time). America still had geography on our side...and that's why even in modern day, with modern technology, it's still easier to hijack a local plane then try to attack the US mainland from across the ocean. RIP Standish 😂
It was later explained by Holmes that Blackwood's clique bribed Standish'es servant to load that incendiary blank into his pistol. But had Standish, for any reason, re-loaded his gun with a live round after that but prior to coming to this meeting he would have shot Blackwood nevertheless...
It's an odorless tasteless chemical compound and it's actually real. It burns however with a blue flame that's actually quite hard to see in normal lighting
@HACUNA89 wait so the music that starts at the beginning of this scene is psychological recovery 6 month? and are you sure that it starts at 15m 35 sec? Please Let me know! Thanks!
although, that's the point, i've bin thinking, how did blackwood know that standish would be the one to go against him? and how did he know that standish would use a gun as well? :D
Blackwood said he wanted to conquer the US, and Standish was the American ambassador to Britain, so he would naturally object. As for the gun, well... America

I still think this is Mark Strong's best villain performance. His presence, charisma, and delivery sell his 'magic' flawlessly.

“Did Standish mistake it for rain, when he entered the temple?”
Yeah.... golden rain :)

Everyone talking about the movie, but I’m just astonished to find comments that are 10 years old. Time flies.
That was a powerful scene.
This is the scene where I was convinced that Blackwood had magical powers.

for those who don't know, the word that is written on the throne is in Hebrew. it is pronounced "shlemut" which means "perfection".
I don't think the new director of Sherlock Holmes 3 will be able to top the first 2. Ritchie Guy style of directing is on another level!
I always wondered why the ground outside didn't light up when he landed. Shouldn't it have lit the liquid on the ground?
Thank you Daniel for uploading this

Standish: D I S C O M B O B U L I Z E D
this was my favorite scene growing up
If he fell to the place where the "rain" poured, why wasn't the whole thing set ablaze?
IF the "rain" was actually flammable liquid as deduced but Sherlock Holmes in the end, why didn't the whole court yard go up in flames when that man dropped from the window?
The courtyard might’ve been so diluted by the rain that it wouldn’t be able to catch so effectively as Standish did, or perhaps it’s because he landed on the carriage instead of the front door where the liquid would’ve been most concentrated compared to the rest of the area.
Lord Cowards face when Standish is set ablaze, is like "Bloody hell, this chap can do black magic for real"
I remember jumping when Standish burst into flames when I saw this for the first time.
such a beautiful scene, honestly.
If that "rain" was a flammable liquid, why was the ground not set on fire?
Well it was actually raining outside. So once the liquid hit the ground, it would’ve mixed with the rainwater and likely have been diluted. Plus only the area around the front door was being doused in said liquid, and we aren’t sure where exactly his carriage was in reference to it.
@Marko Botic I think in the the context of this question, the guy was asking why didn’t ignite as the flaming body fell outside back into the “flammable rain”
Such a powerful and brave speech Lord Blackwood delivered as he confronted Ambassador Standish.
If Standish checked his revolver then he would’nt have died.
"Oy...whats all this then? Did a flaming body come frew dat window ? That's it, hauling you all in fer questioning"
Movie over.
One of the greatest villans of all time
Mark Strong has a natural talent to play a villain role for sure
Standish lowkey felt Blackwood's plan until he talked about America
I totally forgot he was the American Ambassador in this movie too haha.
Probably immediately thought, "Oh great, Blackwood is over confident, has no idea what it would require to conquer & retake America...and he's going to ruin us in the process."
Doesn't matter how weak America was at the time. They have geography on their side. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
What is the theme that plays when he catches on fire
This scene has been cut in the Hungarian Tv version, you don’t really see the man catching fire only as he falls out on the window
Those are very well trained horses to not bolt at sudden fire.
What is that music called? At minute 2:38
2:36 OH SHAT!
The zooming out shot went unnecessarily hard
I wouldn't of played chance as lord blackwood did with that that one round was designed to back fire so the rest of the gun was operational if,I remember so if he discharged that round prior to that moment he would of been shot

Imagine someone stepping out for a smoke
FWOOSH
"All it took was a spark."
So this chap’s goal was to reconquer the USA? I don’t care how much magic you have the British Army of the 1880s was not up to that task.
True. But the plan was not to conquer it by force, but through order.

RIP Standish 😂
It was, as absurd as it sounds. Standish, like the patriot and American he was, couldn't let that happen. RIP.
whats the song that plays at the start of this scene?
"You always were an asshole, Gorman."©
What a beautiful motherfucking death! (But burning to death usually takes muuuch longer and his suffering was cut short when he fell to his death)
There's a part of this scene censored on the movie, when standish burn up and fall from the Window
r.I.p Lt. gorman
Funny thing. I guessed Sherlock just used this idea in the train scene of the 2nd movie. He used the White Phos.
Blackwood, after Standish died: Does anyone else have any critics or commentaries?
Everyone: **nods negatively**
@RevolverOcelot1964 It's not necessarily his name (it could be part of his title), but it's pretty damn bad, yes.
"You always were an asshole, Ambassador Standish"
the historical context is from the Victorian era?
One thing that bugs me a little - shouldn't the shot he fired still hit Blackwood?
It was a blank
It was later explained by Holmes that Blackwood's clique bribed Standish'es servant to load that incendiary blank into his pistol.
But had Standish, for any reason, re-loaded his gun with a live round after that but prior to coming to this meeting he would have shot Blackwood nevertheless...
Did he turn his back in case the fixed gun and dousing with flammables didn't work and his black leather coat was bullet proof?
How could Standish not taste or smell that it isn't water on him?
It is odour less
It's an odorless tasteless chemical compound and it's actually real. It burns however with a blue flame that's actually quite hard to see in normal lighting
