Sherlock and Allan from Tintin


Anyone else notice the similarity between Sherlock's second disguise (the murdering thug) and Captain Haddock's first mate Allan Thompson in the Tintin book The Crab With The Golden Claws?

Well spotted. Whether Hergé was influenced by this movie or they both borrowed from an existing stereotype, we'll likely never know.

This is not my signature. This is IMDb's automatic translation of my signature.
