* Meta example. In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3smdrWSXXo&t=946s making-of footage]] for the 'partnership' scene on the train, Creator/RobertDowneyJr tries to kiss Creator/JudeLaw on the lips. Law puts a hand over his mouth to (playfully) block him, but returns the kiss anyway to Downey's face. [[HomoeroticSubtext Both of them are still in full costume]], and it's cute as hell.

* In ''Game of Shadows'', the look of relief on Watson's face after Holmes un-dies after Watson injects him with the serum Holmes gave him as a wedding present was quite touching.

to:

* In ''Game of Shadows'', During the beginning fight-chase scene with the assassin, Sherlock swings through a window and crashes into the table where Watson was playing poker, knocking over Watson's winnings and starting a fight between Watson and the other patrons. Later on, after Sherlock dealt with the assassin, Watson stumbles after him and collapses, moaning about having been in a fight and laughing. While he's clearly drunk and battered, Watson not complaining or trying to attack Sherlock for sabotaging his game could imply that he missed the crazy antics they got up to.
