I don't even think I've seen that movie! I have seen the first "Sherlock Holmes" movie on TV, and it left me pretty much disgusted.  The movie on its own wasn't horrible, just unimaginative.  Would it have been so hard to create a new steampunk action hero rather that exploit the name of Doyle's wonderful character?  And will Hollywood ever learn that you can make an action movie without a token love interest?  I'd have much preferred a heavily repressed - and I mean so subtle the watcher isn't sure they're not imagining it - sexual chemistry between Holmes and Watson rather than a badly shoehorned-in female love interest.<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm sure something inspired the scene in my head, but its nothing I can specifically point to.<br/>I'm glad you enjoyed the back story snippet - I actually wrote that and about 8500 more words of character history prior to being approved for the game.<br/><br/>Edit:<br/>After that rant, I want to say that Sherlock (http://www.hartswoodfilms.co.uk/programmes/sherlock-series-1/) - the BBC mini-series adapting Holmes to contemporary London, is simply brilliant!<br/><br/>Edit the edit:  corrected the typo Sherkock - now I have to see who has that porn-star name!
