Movie: Without a Clue (1988)
Tagline: The flip side of Sherlock Holmes.
Trivia: The opening sequence of the movie is inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes story “The Red-Headed League.” In the story, Sherlock Holmes captures John Clay and his accomplice, Archie. John Clay even calls out at one point, “Jump, Archie, and I’ll swing for it!”
Goofs: Continuity: When Inspector Lestrade leaves the British Mint in a carriage, there is just him and the driver. When he arrives at Gile’s house, he now has two policemen with him and the driver.
“This is a Sherlock Holmes story with a difference. Here Dr Watson is the ace detective and has been using an actor to play the part Holmes. Holmes is a drunken actor and gets on Watson’s nerves. When Watson tries to go it alone, he doesn’t have much success, so he is forced to let Holmes take all the credit once more. Written by Rob Hartill”
