    4:26 - apparently learning Wing-Chun was part of how RDJ got/stayed sober and did indeed play a part in a lot of his workout regimen for both Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man; there's a brief bit in his garage/lab at the start of Iron Man 3 where he is practicing some moves on a wing-chun practice dummy just before he tests the Mark 42 armour for the first time.

    A of those camera and cinematography elements you mentioned have been staples of Guy Ritchie since the mid 90’s. you’ll find the super slow mo and the manic camera movements in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as well as Snatch.
    Let’s start a movement to stop thinking of super slow mo as “Zack Snyder” and take it back. Ineffectual, shallow and superficial super slow mo is definitely Zack Snyder. A couple of shots in a movie like this one is GOOD use of it, which Zack Snyder seems incapable of. He has something like facial blindness when it comes to recognizing potential overuse of slow mo and whether or not he’s already put in 30 slow mo sequences.
    I don’t believe Moriarty uses the stolen radio mechanism as part of this plot. I think he’s just taken it and folded the tech into his industrialized war machine arsenal with radio controlled chemical and/or explosive weapons that he can sell to warring nations. If he used radio controlled bombs in any of the bombings he used to ramp up the tensions leading to war, he might be discovered after he started selling bombs with the very same revolutionary detonation mechanism, so he couldn’t risk actually using the device in his machinations to start the war.

    The waterfall bit is a nod to the “death” of Sherlock in the books, and is one of the 1st examples of so much fan outrage that Doyle brought him back. It’s also in a very similar situation but I believe moriarty actually died. I could be wrong, I haven’t read them.

  • @radicaladz

    38:27 - a little Holmes deep lore: Moran, Moriarty's pet sniper, is indeed from the books too; he appears in The Empty House, the story that reintroduced Sherlock after his duel with Moriarty and "death" in The Final Problem. Much like Moriarty being a dark reflection of Holmes, Moran is one for Watson. Kim Newman wrote a series of stories collected as The Hound of the D'Urbervilles written as if from Moran's perspective as he acted as a henchman for Moriarty, including crossing over with a bunch of other historical figures and stuff from the period such as War of the Worlds - I recommend them to anyone interested in expanding their Sherlock nerddom.

    56:56 fun fact, the text that Watson is narrating/typing out on his typewriter, is lifted directly (albeit a bit jumbled up) from the closing paragraph of 'The Final Problem', the short story in which Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Professor Moriarty, and had Holmes seemingly 'die' in mortal combat with the Professor at Reichenbach Falls (which are in fact a real place in Switzerland and can be visited).

    “This one is so much more bombastic”…….welcome to the rule of sequels. Bigger faster louder. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Luckily this is one of those times where it works wonderfully. This is one of the rare sequels where they build upon everything great from the first film, amp that stuff up, trim the fat, cast the villain perfectly, and everything is truly firing on all cylinders. Such a great sequel. I only wish we got one more film to make it a trilogy, I’m still holding out hope

    In the stories, Moriarty was introduced in the same story he died in, as a way for Holmes to go out, taking his equal with him. Readers were so mad, Conan Doyle “resurrected” Sherlock (which was a lot easier since Watson only stumbles upon the aftermath of the fight and deduces from footprints that they both go over) in a story that features the gunman from this movie (Colonel Sebastian Moran) trying to get revenge for Moriarty.

    32:54 Still a light chance he might have pulled through. Hitler was on the other side of a table leg where a bomb was placed to kill him and he only got a few burns.
    Besides, Moriarty didn't want anyone to consider it might have been a deliberate assassination. Political tensions are one thing, singular assassinations are another.

    *Jared Harris is amazing in everything he appears in, even when it’s Morbin’ Time! 😝 But he shine particularly brightly in THIS movie and makes an absolutely terrifying version of Moriarty! (The only one to surpass Daniel Davis’ Moriarty in Star Trek: The Next Generation!)*
    *Equally, Stephen Fry makes an equally fascinating Mycroft! He truly impersonates the spirit of the character from the books, of which Arthur Conan Doyle said was EVEN MORE intelligent than Sherlock, but LOATHED doing the work to prove that to people or to dirty himself in the process of proving anything (Unlike Sherlock!); which has been often been interpreted as him being la y, but that is an exaggerated simplification of who he is.*
    *I think Guy Ritchie took his formula from the first movie and refined it, like someone refined a good wine, when he made the sequel. There has been talks and rumors of a third film being made, but so far: We are still waiting! … And I am not even sure I want a third one: As much as I thirst for another 20 such Sherlock Holmes movie, like a James Bond franchise type of thing, the two currently available movies are so good that I am not sure they could capture lightning in a bottle a third time; especially after such a long hiatus.*

    There was no guarantee that the target of the bomb would be within lethal distance of the explosion. You will also remember that Sherlock nearly stopped one of Moriarty’s assassinations via bombing at the beginning of the film and there was no guarantee that Sherlock would fall for Moriarty’s false clue trail. Having him assassinated via sniper was his guarantee that the job would be done even if the bomb was somehow not enough or assuming that Sherlock would see through his ruse.

    So, in the original Artur Conan Doile series, Holmes is proficient with boxing, and a Japanese martial art called Baritsu. Baritsu is thought to be based on Bartistsu, which is a real self-defense martial art system taught in England during Conan Doil's time by Edward William Barton-Wright, and is a mix between English boxing, French stick fighting, and Japanese jujitsu (the Bart in the Bartitsu comes from Barton, and the titsu from jujitsu). So, RDJ took his proficiency with wing-chun (which he got into during rehab), and mixed it with Judo, which Guy Ritchie was proficient in, to create their own version of "Baritsu".
