Holmes & Watson

According to Deadline, after disastrous test screenings, Sony attempted to sell the film to Netflix, which declined.

At Moriarty's trial, the judge draws particular attention to his gavel. British judges have never used gavels.

The film opens with a fake quote from a Hannah Montana episode; Season 2, Episode 4. "Logic is the sword by which we slay ancient superstitions. But lo, the heart has its own truths to tell us."

US and international versions have two different pre-title scenes, showing how the pair first met:

• In the US release, Watson helps a bullied Holmes when the two are children.
• In the international release, Watson attempts suicide above Holmes' garden, where he is growing a large vegetable. Holmes manages to convince Watson not to, although he is actually suggesting alternative methods instead, which Watson misinterprets. Nevertheless, Watson accidentally falls onto Holmes' vegetable.
