The Hound of the Baskervilles (Richard Roxburgh) Part 3

[matthewly42]

Is this movie anywhat similar to the book?

[SherlockDeWinter]

is it just me or the music around 5:55 sounds a little like Harry Potter?

[yourVeiledLodger]

I don't care Roxburgh's vision of Holmes, but Ian Hart plays Watson really well.

[creativeprojects720]

this is a great movie, I remember it from a while back.

[csgrambauer]

"in 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' (2001)".

GASP! Don't you mean 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' to keep in sync with the British theme of this movie (and the true title to JK Rowling's book). Lol. ;)

[cityofwhat]

I am enjoying this immensely but WTF is up with these rewrites? Holmes didn't go around beating up people for information like in some hollywood cop movie, much of his success comes from mutually beneficial relationships with a wide web of informants. the scene where he beats up the cabby saying "TELL ME WHO WAS.." is so out of character.

[MDkid1]

@cityofwhat maybe he was frustrated...shit happens.

[csgrambauer]

@cityofwhat I agree. I remember reading the novel of the Hound of the Baskervilles and I don't remember a scene where he beat up a taxi driver. I know Holmes was a very good boxer but he never punched someone like a taxi driver to get information out of.

[SherlockDeWinter]

@csgrambauer yes, it is strange. But in the book that part "You were driving Mr Sherlock Holmes" happens. Only without the fighting. Holmes did not have to use his fist to get information.

[csgrambauer]

@SherlockDeWinter Well yeah that is very true. Although Holmes was indeed a very gifted and amazing boxer he did prefer to use his intelligence to get information out of people. That is one thing about Holmes that is amazing (besides his, you know intelligence and crime-solving) is the fact that he could've easily punched the guy up (in the books) but chooses to use his brains instead of brawn.

[MDkid1]

For a scientist, Dr. Mortimer is a very superstitious man.

[psyctk]

Rox really did a great job. A believable Sherlock Holmes!

[NoHealerJustPain]

Sherlock was a unretired smoker, but not a drug-addicted man.

[kiranmayishanti]

lol

[maettsook]

St Paul's between Paddington and Dartmoor?

Cheers for the upload.

[louiselusen]

am i the only one who has noticed the jeans, leather belt, shirt and elbow on the side of the screen at 7:24??? think its a camera man when you think about the way he is holding his arm, but in not sure.

[PureCinner]

@louiselusen oh id agree...great spot by the way!!!

[mikeysrose]

@louiselusen Oh, wow, you're right!

You have a Sherlockian eye. I definitely didn't notice that, but when I watched this through the first time I didn't pay attention to a lot of the scene changes. But I still probably wouldn't have noticed it.

[MDkid1]

@louiselusen wow ya! Good find, I love spotting goofs like that in movies. He was probably holding one of those microphones.

[MDkid1]

I don't know about you, but I love old English manor houses, and country side moors! They are the most ideal settings for murder mysteries!

[MDkid1]

@MDkid1 seems like Sir Henry agrees with me at 2:06!

[adamblazer100]

Ha stuck Watson with babysitting.

[DuchessAliana]

Ian Hart looks exactly like he did in Michael Collins. lol

[sethbooker]

Not bad; but, as always, the book is FAR better

[RozRuss]

@sethbooker This is the fourth version I've seen, and, though some good ones out there, it is still true - none of them outdo the original Doyle. Over a hundred years, and it's still the best!

[TheRealDeal1515]

So where's the friendship between Holmes and Watson?

[thermotheo]

watched this first when i was far too young, scared the CRAP out of me. no longer like dogs or the moors

[MrsSherlcokHolmes]

 Though Granada's version of the HOUN wasn't good, Jeremy Brett will always be my Sherlock Holmes

[tort534]

Richard Roxburgh is sooooooo much better as Sherlock Holmes than that bloody rubbish that Robert Downey Jr. played. I just wished Tim Burton made a Sherlock Holmes film with Johnny Depp and U.K. actor Lee Williams as Watson, Johnny would play Holmes. Alan Rickman would play the villain.

[dragonsmoyer]

This sherlock has the creepy phyco laughter HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D

[i24carat]

That Henry Guy is awesome!

[edvardinka]

Even it s not Jeremy Brett, I really do like it. It s a different treating of the classical story. U can feel the modern way but not bad way. and good camera. thanx

[safigirl001]

omg holmes looks sooooo sexy at 1:35

[Flarepy]

Can't say I like this Holmes or this Watson very much. My list goes as such: Best Holmes: 1.) Jeremy Brett 2.) Basil Rathbone 3.) Peter Cushing 4.) Robert Downey Jr Best Watsons: 1.) Jude Law (outstanding job, really) 2.) Nigel Bruce 3.) David Burke 4.) Edward Hardwicke 5.) Nigel Stock.

[Dratini999]

@Flarepy I almost fully agree with you. I'd just switch Cushing with RDJ and put Nigel Bruce in the last place because I don't like how he portrayed Watson.

of course Jeremy Brett was best Holmes ever!!! and how great would it have been if he and Jude Law would have played together?!!!

[carlos45703030]

a nice touch, this version has the prision guards using martini-henry rifles. the granada version with jeremy brett had them using mauser rifles, of all things!

[xsingwithmex]

Thanks for adding this :] Richard Roxburgh is not a bad Holmes, but Ian Hart is a much better Watson in the film with Rupert Everett.

[tennisgod97]

holy crap every comment is an ad

[bcbdrums]

there's like, ten on each vid. i don't understand how they're not getting marked, cuz i mark them as spam when they come in, but then five minutes later they're all still showing up. it's driving me crazy.

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

@bcbdrums Block the people posting the ads. Simple enough.

[silverbud]

@bcbdrums

I noticed that, too. Perhaps Google protects spammers after having paid something. After all, youtube is a big company now. ;-D

[lollipopfop]

@tennisgod97 Its like that all over youtube lately. Other random blogs too. Its weird. Like some new spamming frenzy.

[bcbdrums]

hello everyone :)

thank you for all your comments on this movie, i will try to read and reply to them all as soon as i can.

i have a favor to ask---when you see spam comments, could you please mark them as such? thank you for your help.

[juliadiggory92]

I like this Holmes quite a bit, but Dr Watson strikes me as a bit dumb and clueless, sadly.

[ohplisken]

Yes Basil was the best!

[HELLO2YOU3]

And for me there is only one Holmes and that's Basel rathbone.But who am i to say

:~)

[BelNatalya76]

as for me our Vasily Livanov :)

[HELLO2YOU3]

Watson looks like a lost school boy

[HELLO2YOU3]

would you have a electric doorbell 0.34

if you are useing oil lamps.MMmmm

[Whitefoord]

Does anyone know what building/buildings they used for Baskerville Hall? I've been trying to find out for ages.

[zekeland]

The Dr. Watson portrayal is weak.

[movisony4]

Rick Roxburgh is the best actor who can play Sherlock, like Dracula in Van Helsing, and also Ian Hart as Dr Watson

[MrBazzabee]

Dear silentbob Sorry to be a pedant  However he would HAVE been the ages YOU so rightly surmise and not OF been the ages you surmise!!!!!!Sorry!!!-but it's very important if you are a Holmes type of guy!!1

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

this Holmes doesn't really have the kind of brooding mystery I always associated with the character. Still, this is the only Holmes story I've ever read, so I can't really judge. Watson pretty good though- he looks very in love :)

[luna4ever36]

@ofxxxthexxxflowers I like him here, better than jeremy brett actually, I always thought h seemed sort of normal but had an inner brooding

[xFLYBATx]

@ofxxxthexxxflowers I think BBC's Hound is wrong.

[footballgeorgiebest]

a very good performance by this Watson.

[DrZenith]

Yes, except that he looks a bit young to be a qualified Doctor who has served some years as an army surgeon in India and Afghanistan..... but apart from that he plays the role well.

[silentbob8201]

Watson in this story would of been the very least 37-38 Cause this took place before the Fall incident .

[takutolovex]

isn't watson the bad guy from the Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone

[luna4ever36]

@takutolovex ooh he is quirrell!

[wizardleg]

This was Novel based Litreture,Thanks for uploading.Its interesting story

[code4445]

nerds!!!!

[faleister]

ignorant

[izcasper]

i thought henry was supposed to be handsome

[fireyulia]

LOL! I thought that as well... But then again, we can't have everything lol.

[gorbachev9]

i know nothing about sherlock holmes,but i love this movie!!!

[LoveThatPhantom]

Richard is my favorite Holmes! I think he did a fantastic job.

[Arcticclaws]

He's ok but I prefer Jeremy Brett.

[htcsnavybrat]

I prefer Jeremy Brett but this gentleman is new to the scene of Holmes so I must reserve judgment but I will say that he doesn't quiet fit with the more darker and calculating Holmes that is portrayed int he stories as well as Mr. Brett did. Yet as I say I must reserve judgment.

[Salaminafe]

I have read all of Holmes stories. Roxburgh is good but there is no compare between him and Jeremy Brett

[bcbdrums]

lol, i'd argue with you, but then i'd have hundreds of JB fans attacking me LOL.

if you're a JB fan, go join the JB club on youtube ;)

[Salaminafe]

Really??? How can I find this club???

[bcbdrums]

it is run by lafemdilletante. just search for her channel :)

[csgrambauer]

@bcbdrums Well I love to watch both Roxburgh and Brett's versions of Holmes. And I too have read every story of Holmes. I love the Victorian England setting as it's natural beauty is amazing.

[lollipopfop]

@Salaminafe maybe look for Brett's grave. I agree. i like this far better. No disrespect, but Jeremy Brett was a hammy, unsubtle nutcase who took away from the story by flailing his skinny arms and rolling his r's so loudly he sounded like a badly tuned motor. This is a lot less comical. besides that i really hated how Brett's version of Holmes seemed like he was about to break down in hysterical sobbing, or laughing ALL the time. It was just boring after a while.

[MDkid1]

@lollipopfop This is the best shirlock homes and version of "the hound"....period.

[lollipopfop]

@MDkid1 Yup!

[Seven21x]

I haven't seen much of this Holmes, but I must say I too prefer Jeremy Brett. :D

Not that there's anything wrong with this Holmes, but Brett was the first Holmes (well second, but the newest movie does NOT count) I'd ever watched, so I may be biased. I'd read the stories ages ago.

[bcbdrums]

mhmm, quite true

[castoro83]

oh my God this is too much: Holmes never laugh 4.29| No no i don't like this Holmes!!!!

[bcbdrums]

well, if you read the stories, he laughs quite a lot actually. and he does laugh in this story. maybe you need to re-read...

[SickOfFashion]

If you read the book, you'll find that Holmes laughed at that precise moment.

[castoro83]

Yes i read this book!!! But probably i'll read it again :S eheh!!!! However i don't like this Holmes

[castoro83]

2.47-3.13 CSI LONDON HOLMES ahahha!!!

[bcbdrums]

LOL!

[deadman00]

u can tell thats a fake train at 1;46

menwhile i cant belive holmes would ever call watson an idiot as he does early on.

[bcbdrums]

lol, yep. and yeah....

[CherryBlossomKittyx]

I'm only watching this because of Richard Roxburgh.. Love him! <3 It seems a bit scary though.. I really prefer RR as Dracula though. =P

[bcbdrums]

^^ he IS awesome :D

[lixechan]

i the part at 1 min 20 or so where he goes "bye Watson" and then stares after him like a little lost pup... SQUEE!!

so cute and .. suggestive ;)

xx

[bcbdrums]

heehee! yes, i've always liked that part ;-)

[lixechan]

heen :)

x

[0ShadowedWings0]

Mmm,who among us can resist the sad puppy look?

[lixechan]

heh, not me if it's Richard doing the puppy-eyes  :)

xx

[0ShadowedWings0]

I can't resist him even when he isn't doing the puppy eyes so I probably shouldn't talk LOL

[bcbdrums]

lol, same here

[0ShadowedWings0]

Good to know I'm not the only one!

[lixechan]

haha! me too!

especially when he's in Hellsing with that yummy vampire look/voice/attitude.

heeeeen :)

xxx

[bcbdrums]

oooh.. *shivers thinking of voice*

[KCSRL2008]

LOL, granite mattress...

[bcbdrums]
