  • Movie Goof (continuity error): During Adler's first fight scene, a handkerchief is on the ledge. Holmes goes to look for the owner, is punched, spins around, and falls to the ground. The handkerchief is missing. When he stands back up, the handkerchief is back.
  • The first Sherlock Holmes film to reach U.S. movie theaters in over twenty years, since the 1988 comedy Without a Clue with Michael Caine as Reginald Kincaid/"Sherlock Holmes".
  • The line "Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." which Holmes delivers to Watson when they are searching for the red-headed midget is a direct reference to the 'Arthur Conan Doyle' short story "A Scandal In Bohemia" , where the quote reads as "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist the facts to suit theories , instead of theories to suit facts." The short story also happens to feature Irene Adler, a character that is included in the movie.
  • Movie Goof (errors in geography): A boat slips into the Thames and sinks stern first, with the bow in the air. The Thames is very shallow at that point.
