violence
There are scenes in which Sherlock Holmes uses targeted punches and ear claps to disable his opponents. There are also fights, people are threatened, and scenes featuring explosions.
additional issues
In one scene, a man is boiled in his bath; however, there is no strong detail. In another scene, Holmes hangs with a noose round his neck as he shows his sidekick Watson how a man faked his own death. The film contains a comic scene in which Holmes is drugged, tied up and left naked in a room; however, a cushion conceals nudity detail. There is also very mild language (for example, ‘damn’ and ‘God’), as well as scenes in which Holmes smokes an old fashioned pipe, reflecting the period in which the film is set.
