Waxing Elizabeth - Young Sherlock Holmes

[Raiodeindra]

Este filme é que era show!!! O novo Sherlock não chega aos pés deste clássico!!!!!!!!

[Ajedrezin]

la musicalidad de esta producción coral es extraordinaria. Los comentarios aquí expuestos la describen con exactitud.

[BuddhaZenMind]

Great music and great costumes. Shame they are all brainwashed.

[creeperjeep08]

The music reminds me of one those david copperfield illusions!

[UFOSPACE1999]

KIDDIES THIS IS THE ORIGINAL>>>>>ALWAYS LISTEN TO ALL ORIGINALS...NOT THAT DREADFUL CITY OF PRAGUE......they stink. THEY SUCK.

[sandstorm381]

COME, i ment COME

[sandstorm381]

THEY WERE SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!! It would have been soo easy to just pull they strings and wax her, but then holmes just HAD to ce to the rescue! Damn you holmes! :(

[MondoBeno]

I don't know where they got the idea for this song, but it's perfect. The whole story is astounding. You wouldn't even guess it was made over 25 years ago.

I guess this is one of the most perfect films I ever saw.

[musashi7272]

Music is scary but awesome at the same time.

[andos8888]

Rameteb are sick but i love the music!!

[marcelito69bis]

best movie shot...EVER!!!

[melanie1181]

Yeah I remember when waxflatter died, he said Eh-tar

[pikeym1]

 Imotep

[LordAzanko]

Anubis. Lord of light & darkness, lord of the two worlds, messenger of Osirus your father, guardian & protector of all, conductor of souls to & from, blessed guardian of the night! We serve & worship you with out fear, Anubis. raise thy ankh & bless us, Anubis, dark & shining one, guide us this night within our circle rightly cast safe from harm, curse or blast.

[Pawelxpepe]

J worry it's old is forgotten. It's just nice.

[UFOSPACE1999]

HOW did he get up there? why can't no one see him up there? LOL..I watched this as a kid..and thought this is pure crap...But the music by Bruce Broughton is excellent.....MUCH BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!!!

[cooljo5]

wish that bitch would have died! =]

[created2create]

This tune still makes me shiver!! Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear used to be one of my childhood favourites!!!

[ericberner]

despite being young at heart this was at least 10x better than anything Speilberg left his scent on in this decade. Was YSH like Poltergeist? where Speilberg just kinda put his name on it, or co-produced it, like stamp of approval? Those are usually good. Amazing Stories.

[ericberner]

I've always kind of felt that the translation is in fact. Hobbit; Which is alot like Tobit and Thebes put together. Gimme a second here. Tobit was much used by turn of the century magicians as either a cool magic word or a reference to power. Thebes also was in the news at the turn of the century as a 'magical' place and much fantasised about. Seems very Sherlocky.

[toolslave]

I loved this movie as a kid and have a feeling this one is better than the new one.

[september1rainny]

@toolslave me too!! :)

[PapagenoJuan]

just bought it on DVD!!!! love it!!! :)

[deeprose4]

What a great movie, I remember going to see this with my parents, not really even wanting to go, but left the theatre totally exhilarated and obsessed with Sherlock Holmes.

[jeanniebug2004]

I watched this movie as a kid! Makes me feel old, but what memories it brings back! Thank you so much!

[ericberner]

It's Carmina Burana but better.

[Taurus8763]

Very Satanic.......

[Concreteowl]

This actually reminds me of Murray Gold's work for Doctor Who, the film would have been better as a Doctor Who story than a Sherlock Holmes one. It also prefigures Columbus' Harry Potter work. It's also pretty much Temple Of Doom in a Pyramid Of Fear.

[Seiralicious]

why does theres no sound? i mean..... you know..... talking

[Picnicl]

and Watson's diffidence/eagerness to please. The Victorians had a great interest in Egypt and this score is magnificent in capturing that studied sense of the exotic- perfectly powerful and mysterious. The excitement of being at a hallowed school, learning new things from older generations and peers, can also be equated with the excitement of the adventure itself. It's a very special film for capturing this rarefied world in a genuinely moving, as well as exciting, way- a cult classic.

[love233]

Good comment and I agree! I dont now why someone would give a thumbs down???

[Picnicl]

There was something in the air in the mid to late 80s that made adventure films like this and Labyrinth come together so beautifully. The 'school' seems to have been shot at various locations including Eton and Oxford and the film is one of the best encapsulations of the romantic image of this kind of schooling that I can think of. There is something very touching about the contrast between Holmes' intellectual, if not emotional, assuredness (Rowe plays the part with great delicateness)

we caught the rock

we got the rock

[njdevsrule]

the song is so catcthy i love it hard to forget

[aknewway]

it seems like they are worshiping Anubis, but I forget what they called the god they worshiped in the movie, if they did have a name for it.

[pantherknight666]

Osis (I think)

[Deathant]

I was wondering if there's anyway of getting ahold of this song?

I've tried ever since a child to get this song...and now that I see it DOES exist, is there anyone out there, willing to help a deprived child? :P

Thank you!

[iluvdeclann]

me too i cant find itt!!!

[PirateMav]

Amazon has a shorter version for sale in their MP3 section.

[WithMountains]

The Amazon version is not the one used in the movie. It's a remake that Bruce Broughton conducted for the CD "Cinema Choral Classics." The music is very different, it's sped up by 4% and it sounds much more like O Fortuna than even the original.

[jricardobrasil]

Me too. If someone find the music, teach us, please!

[evildonkey]

Why not rip it off the youtube video?

[SUNSHINE21480]

doesn't Dr. Watson look like Harry Potter? or Daniel Radcliff....

[mazahrehd]

To me, yeah! First time I saw this, I was like...Watson looks like Harry Potter, and Dudley (Sherlock's enemy at school) looks like Draco Malfoy and he also has a Harry Potter name like Dudley Dursley. lolz. It's so cool!

[matero30]

its the same scene in so many movies, all the way back to the 30s, they just keep remaking it. You see it in Indiana Jones as well and now here,

The good guys are somehow up in high observation spot while a secret ancient cult which has been revived is about to commit human sacrifice. They are confused what to do, they feel helpless and scared but cannot allow it to happen and then eaither shout or are somehow discovered and then a distaster ensues which prevents the murder from taking place.

[zenguy22]

Ucha a great movie. If you put up the scene with the stain glass knight, I'll worship you!

[Dorkdufus]

Young Sherlock Holmes soundtrack would have to be one of the best soundtracks ever written. It's a shame more people dont know about this gem

[MALHEBRE]

sometimes it sounds like Stravinsky

[Gwynne9]

This was a really good movie. I really liked it.

[wagsilmar]

... and I remembered very well the occasion that I first saw this scene and heard this chant; I was enchanted at once; during a time, I was confused about this chant; first, I thought that was the theme of carmina burana's opera; it seems there's a kind of magic in this movie and its chant that shake some people up in a curious and misterious way...

[wagsilmar]

This movie and the chant that appears in this scene are something interesting... first, this scene of this movie stayed recorded in many people heads, although, the majority of them didn´t remember from what movie was; second, its chant, like an egyptian one, got stuck in many people head as well; interesting to note that this scene stayed in people's head because of this beautiful chant; I looked for this scene (because of this chant) for long time; I found it here; and I remember many well...

[oberon79]

ok, so we just need to find out the lyrics.

[dl4002]

[oberon79]

[buckiemohawk]

[ericberner]

@oberon79 awesome. Good translation!

[RaspberryRainbowS]

ohmygoshhhhhhhhhhh.

but it really scared me the first time i saw it.

[PureTorturex]

do you have the whole movie?

[znk82]

scared the crap out of me as a kid

[DanDanZen]

This song always stays stuck in my head. What are the people chanting anyways?

[CrimsonCrux]

That scene where Rathe/Ehtar descends the stairs to this track is awesome, such a sense of presence.

[tibrador]

jaime beaucoup cette muisque elle est cool !le film est bien aussi je trouve...

[lordmalak995]

Is this download virus free?

[UFOSPACE1999]

It is the first film to use CGI effect, The Stain Window Effect came to life. IT is Produced by Steven Spielberg and Directed by Barry Levison.

[UFOSPACE1999]

and had a wonderful score by Bruce Broughton

[dingorex]

This is way longer than the pirated track I have.

Thanks for posting.

Could you post the End Credits Theme?

[akbennett06]

Thank you for putting this on here. I have also had a haunting fascination with this scene and the chant since I was younger. Now I can see if I can find it under the songwriter's and find it on CD somewhere. Brings chills to my spine!

AKB

[Adara91]

I can´t forguet thios movie and this mussic. They are fantastic. I love this "Moriarty" and this "Holmes"

[Uwain27]

[zerokool66]

WAT IS THE SONG

[dl4002]

[diegooriani]

@zerokool66 Spotify link: spotify:track:6tZDoqOrdki34YH2­3vUmje

[killerbarbie28]

Very good!

[LGandBLOODS]

This looks like a musical.

[DARKMONK2829]

Not a musical, this song is the Chant that the Cult in the film sing during their ritual. This is actually the full version from the soundtrack. By the way, the movie not bad.
