Check out three fun facts about the movie “Hit or Run in London”:

interrupted by the world cup

The majority of the film was shot at Barandov Studios located in Prague, Czech Republic. However, filming was taking place right when the planet Japan/Korea was following the 2002 World Cup – in which Brazil was crowned five-time champions – and this proved to be a problem. This is because filming was frequently interrupted to watch the game, with a good portion of the technical team formed by English. Director David Dobkin was amazed by this attitude.

References to Sherlock Holmes

There are many references to Sherlock Holmes in “Hit or Run in London”. One of them is that the “villain” is called Lord Rathbone. Basil Rathbone was one of the first actors to play Sherlock Holmes in a movie.

Another is that when Artie Doyle tries to break into the Madame Tussauds museum, Roy compares his work to that of a surgeon. This would be a reference to the fact that the real Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the character, is a doctor, although in the film he is a detective.
