Looking for the name of a film

[queerlyobscure.livejournal.com]

My uncle has just been telling me about a version of Sherlock Holmes in which he was cryogenically frozen and somehow ended up in America to solve crimes in the 20th/21st century. Apparently there's something to do with Moriarty in there somewhere. He is adamant that it was live action, so he's not talking about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.

I realise this is horribly vague, but I'm deadly curious as to whether he's just drunker than he seems or there's a fantastic, untapped Sherlock Holmes movie out there. Anyone have any thoughts?

ETA: Found!

Its called "Sherlock Holmes Returns". Never seen it myself, but i've heard about it.

Heheh, Elina and I watched that while I was in Finland, as it was coincidentally on telly.

The one in which Holmes sees the Arizona London Bridge and believes he's home?

Ach! there's another one, made earlier in 1987. Most people think its much better apparently. I'm looking for it now.

Oooooh. ::heads off to IMDB::

ETA: This one - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093850/ - I suspect.

yes indeed, here's a clip from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApGOCAzF8Aw

but I can't seem to find the whole thing.

I think the problem is that it shares a title and a year with the Granada series. That, and I suspect it to not be wildly popular amongst the general public.

[protectorgf.livejournal.com]

Wow, inconvenient. But now i'm itching to see it!

Ha! found it on DVD here http://kr.ioffer.com/i/sherlock-holmes-michael-pennington-margaret-colin-1987-142124473

if anyone is interested. To clarify, this is the 1987 version, not the 1994 remake.
