I love the fact that Dredger is not just a brainless big guy, but actually have a good characterization: he's french, polite, aprecciate a real challenge and seems to truly believe in Blackwood

I like that, unlike most giant brutes in fiction, Dredger is level-headed and polite... while murdering you.

My ten minutes are up. That was the most polite and british way of saying "bruh." ive ever heard.

I love how holmes didn't know what the stun gun was but quickly figured out how to charge it and was able to use it.

A good entertaining villain comes from the unexpected. Dredger giving him a moment to catch his breathe and later asking him to hold on was unexpected, yet funny which makes us like him.

This was one of the best versions of Sherlock.

I like how the lackeys just accept the division of labour suggested by their freaking opponent. Without hesitation too.

1:12 I love that nod of appreciation from Dredger. A man who appreciates a challenge, gotta respect that.

1:23 When you are walking down the stairs in the dark, and you miss a step

RDJ is really the perfect actor for snarky characters, Tony Stark, Sherlock Holmes, like damn thats too perfect on both

I like how genuine Holmes’ reaction is when Dredger picks him up. “Holy shit im about to be thrown across the room!”

Music is perfect.

Should've discombobulated him.

02:56 Love the annoyed look on Holmes' (Downey's) face. I can tell exactly what he's thinking: "Bugger all. He gave me a moment, I have to give him one to be sporting..." XD

didn't even know they made frenchmen that big

It’s such an underrated film! Full of humour, good plot , great character , classic soundtrack and super villains!

I love how Dredger and Sherlock gave each other a moment to recover. That's honor right there!

1:22 that noise... XD

I'm glad they didn't try to make a serious film, it was full of action and funny, and the bromance Holmes/Watson works really well.

loving the fact that Watson sighed at the beginning, not because he was a brute, but because he was French lol~

God the British even fight politely.

This movie is ten years old and has more coherent, better filmed, harder hitting fight choreography than a lot of straight up action films do today

1:22 the HUUUH is everything

I love the mutual respect these two show to each other. They may be enemies, but they aren’t uncultured.

Steve Rogers messed up replacing the infinity stones so now we have Tony Stark working with Yon Rogg and speaking with a British accent.

1:53 that hit though XD

1:07 I love the way Sherlock looks at him.

For those wondering, Robert Maillet is 6'11". Since he's wearing shoes, it's safe to say that an extra inch has been added to his height.

Just realize Downey played two iconic British character (Sherlock Holmes and Chaplin) while he is American actor.

LOL "Meat...or potatoes?" "My 10 minutes are up" XDDD

The best doctor who knows how to fight.

The french dialogues are : "Y a un problème ?" "Un moment s'il vous plaît." "Je suis pas pressé." "Un moment s'il vous plaît." "Je ne sais pas. Allons-y mon frère !" "Qui t'a envoyé ?" "Tu le sais très bien." "Bizarre que tu fasses le boulot pour quelqu'un de mort." "Il est revenu d'entre le mort." "Vivant ou pas, dis-moi où je peux le trouver." "Y a une chose plus terrifiante que toi et ton jouet. Cours petit lapin, cours." "Avec plaisir."

1:22 me fighting my older brother

In the words of Chris Tucker : Rush Hour 3 “HE IS TOO DAMN BIG”

3:21 Off-hand, I call it the world's most dynamic tuning fork.

The over the top knock-back from that primitive taser is just hilarious. XD

By the third shock I’d be absolutely furious lmao “if you shock me again I’m going to lose it.”

That's a thick accent they got there... I did need the subtitles, and I'm a native French speaker.

I love Maillet's offscreen groans, after Downey Jr. just...propels him through that storage area.

Seriously. What genius direction and screen-writing, acting and PACING, etc. This scene may just gloss over as a part of the movie, but from start to finish, it was a masterpiece of film making. To be quite honest, the entire movie was golden. My only gripe was the second movie introducing Moriarty as the straight up in-the-face problem and then even putting end to him so quickly. That should not have happened. There are so many stories to work with and they could have been mixed together to create a legendary tale as well-noted as the Marvel movies. Where Pirates of the Caribbean strung the 4th and 5th movies with no relationship, and the 1st itself was just an intro, Sherlock Holmes could have been a well-tied series.

0:31 - Toffee apple is whole. 0:35 - Toffee apple is nearly gone. Hungry lad.

I love how in the English version Dredger is French but in the French version he's Italian

Dredger AKA Rob Lives about 3 hours from me in Canada and is one of the kindest guys you ever met. Funny guy too.

I just love this scene because it makes me laugh every time lol between Sherlock and Dredger they both say “ One moment please” and they stumble to get up as well lol it’s just so funny to me

I definitly love it big time. Maybe better than BBC's Sherlock

My favorite scene, music fits so well with the fight, a little bit of comedy, complimenting the action, it all blends well to be eye catching and hella funny

During the filming of the fight RDJ got hit for real once by Dredger's actor (A canadian wrestler sorry I don't recall his name) and was out and bloodied for like 20 minutes. "Dredger" was mortified meanwhile.

2:38 is my favorite part of the scene.

Man, I absolutely LOVE this episode of Doctor Who! Didn't know though his screwdriver had this option

Robert Maillet is the f***ing man

even in a brawl, you must be a gentleman. love it

I particularly like that Dredger seems to really appreciate Sherlock is a challenge and even nods like “Ok, I see you, Mr. Holmes” when he blocks his second attempt to grab him. A respect among foes

"Meat or Potatos. My ten minutes are up." funny noise 1:23 xd

_In minute __2:14__ it was discovered who was the first victim of the electric taser._

loved the dredger scenes!

2:12 I guess Holmes would also have experienced an electric shock, because he is in touch with that guy

I love it when Sherlock fights. I also love it when he speaks French. A kick back to his French grandmother Vernet (or is that great-grandmother), not sure. I've been trying to map out Sherlock's family tree. It's actually quite interesting.

3:01 DOUBLE KILL

“My ten minutes are up.” So cheeky I love it

Me: Oh god, this guy is gigantic, he probably acts as bad as he looks Dredger: *Waits for Sherlock* Me: Oh wow, this guy is actually pretty nice! Dredger: *Proceeds to choke Sherlock*

Its so funny how they give each other time to regain their strength i love it, you abd your little toy he says

I love how entertainingly chaotic the combat is in these movies sometimes without losing their significance. It feels realistic, too, at least to a degree. Not everybody knows martial arts. Sometimes it’s about ending it as fast or properly as you can.

Sherlock Holmes is a true genius. He saw them holding gas and some other stuff and figured they were going to burn the place down. Truly an astonishing conclusion I’m deeply baffled

These fight scenes are always made better by polite interlude in the middle of it. Gentleman's battle.

I love how they all focused on who they were fighting.

Fun Fact : in french version he has Italian accent.

I have GOT to get myself one of those tasers!!!!

The music really makes this movie!

3:15 Watson: Holmes… what is that? Holmes: Je ne sais pas. (I don’t know.)

Jeremy Brett is still my favorite Holmes, but this was still pretty awesome.

And then he becomes a Jaeger Pilot. *tears*

1:23 lmao XDDDDDD

2:14 I bet he got the shock of his life right there.

Robert is so adorable lol awww

Pause at 1:23 - Holmes' face is priceless!

Not only is that guy super big but RDJ is very small. Makes for an interesting fight 😂

Aw, XXXX me. I love this scene so much, and now the editing has caught me. 0:26 - toffee apple half-eaten. 0:31 - toffee apple minus one or two bites. 0:35 - toffee apple half-eaten again. 0:50 - toffee apple minus one or two bites again.

@RS3D140 Essentially the music from this scene is a variation on a country riff known as "Blackberry Blossom" in a sincopated scale. You can look it up and see a banjo player playing pretty much the same tune under "Mean Mary"

Music is called "the fight" on the extended soundtrack

thx for subtitles

Frying pans!! Who knew, right? 1:28 - Eugene Fitzherbert

Holmes used his skills to read a opponent and beat him in seconds but struggles with a slow big man

one of the greatest films - the second was still quite good with little disappointment - too bad Ritchie is not in on the 3rd and Downey Jr was not more committed - could have been multiple excellent films from this group - still the one I prefer from all others - great plot - great acting - great dialogue - great humour - great film - period

Classic Guy Ritchie scene!!! Wonderful!!!

France. Robert Maillet the actor is French Canadian.

Ever wonder how polite they are before a fight 😂 😂

So far my favourite film.

Hans Zimmer never disappoints

I love this scene. Especially the dialogues in French. My first language is French, so it's reaaaaaaally funny for me to listen french in and English-language movie.

I love it when he says "Oh Dredgerrr?"

Theres something so magical and mystique about this soundtrack.

4:17 stupified

3:01 Discombobulate two, electric boogaloo

Saw that guy in a Walmart in Moncton NB Canada. He was really nice and was signing autographs while shopping with his family. He's huge.

1:22 that gasp made me die 💀💀

We need something like that in this world.

1:23 HUEEEAGH!

Whats crazy is how polite Dredger is. A 7ft man trying to kill you, yet will give you a second to collect yourself for a fighting chance. Only Fezzik from Princess Bride is just as polite.

2:39 so funny he is like "come on what the hell is he doing down there!"

Sherlock Holmes was holding back obviously, if he intended, he could have discombobulated Dredger
