- [Narrator] In "Enola Holmes 2,"
Enola uses her expert sleuthing skills to uncover clues
and connect loose threads
in the case of missing Matchstick girl Sarah Chapman.
But did you know the "Enola Holmes 2" filmmakers
also hid secret details and clues
throughout the movie to treat fans
with keen investigative eyes?
We're about to show you every Easter egg
in "Enola Holmes 2."
- [Detective] These clues have been planted for us to find.
- [Narrator] The movie starts with Enola being backed
into a corner
with a subtle reminder of what she learned
in the first movie.
- You're not alone.
- [Narrator] That's right.
Though at first glance Enola may appear to be on her own,
a closer look shows that you Eudoria is right there with her
on a wanted poster.
We hear in the movie that business is booming
for Lyon matchstick factory.
- Henry Lyon turns all before him into gold.
- [Narrator] But how popular are they really?
Well, if you look closely, you'll notice
that even Sherlock is a customer
and he's not easy to please.
- Oh, but it's such a mess.
- It is perfect.
Don't touch anything.
- [Narrator] One of the movie's most memorable scenes
is when Tewkesbury asks Enola
for fight lessons and she teaches him to-
- Avoid the punch.
Make the counter punch.
- [Narrator] But in the heat of the moment,
Tewkesbury doesn't remember what Enola told him
and gets the lesson backwards, throwing a punch first
and taking a counter punch on the chin as a result.
(Tewkesbury grunting)
- Ouch. - Ow.
- [Narrator] Enola chased evidence
all over London to finally end up
at The Paragon for the movie's climax.
But following the simple rule of X marks the spot
might have helped her avoid a lot of effort.
One of the shafts of light
in The Paragon casts an X-shaped illumination
on the seat where the evidence she needs is hidden.
- X marks the spot.
- [Narrator] Though Enola doesn't have time to dwell
on her feelings as her investigation turns deadly.
- Is he? - Stay unemotional.
- [Narrator] Color is used to show a clear shift
in the tone of the film.
Case in point, the first time Enola is chased
by police through streets and alleyways,
the day is warm, sunny and bright.
After Mae dies in Enola's arms
and we revisit the same chase,
the atmosphere is much colder and darker.
- You've seen this before.
- [Narrator] Characters in the film
also use color to communicate.
Eudoria wears a purple petty coat during the carriage chase
and purple is the primary color in her flyers.
This is no coincidence.
Purple was the first color used by the British suffragists.
And did you notice all the red and white sprinkled
in costumes and props,
like Bessie's red scarf, Mae's kerchief,
the Sweet William flower
and Eudoria's red pool balls and white eggs?
That's right.
The egg is an Easter egg
and could have helped you crack the case.
How?
The recurring red and white is a nod to the importance
of Lyon's matches changing from red to white,
which is a key clue for Enola.
The "Enola Holmes 2" team also had fun sneaking themselves
into the movie.
Composer Daniel Pemberton plays the conductor at The Paragon
while editor Adam Bosman's picture is used
to portray the dashing Reginald Swain,
and his son's image was used
for the newspaper illustration of the Camden Cut Throat.
The Society pages feature members
of the post-production team,
both in the Wilde Night with Oscar article
and as the bottom three eligible bachelors.
Are they trying to tell us something?
Crew members also appear throughout the end titles
of "Enola Holmes 2."
For example, the ad for Curtis & Lawrence Lozenges
is for Matt Curtis and Matt Lawrence
who created the film's graphics.
- Congratulations. (dog barking)
- [Narrator] Recognize that dog?
Director Harry Bradbeer has snuck his dog Socks
into the "Enola Holmes" series on a few occasions.
We see Socks on a poster
when Enola wanders backstage at The Paragon.
The same poster is where Superintendent Grail's first shot
at Enola strikes later in the film.
(gun shooting) (Enola screaming)
Socks also appears in the newspaper Pooch Persuader ad
as Pavlov's dog with director Harry Bradbeer
playing Pavlov himself.
Beyond posing as Pavlov,
he then put on a Scottish brogue
to play the announcer at the matchmaker's ball.
- Pray silence for his Lordship Viscount McIntyre.
- [Narrator] And put on a cockney accent
to voice a prison guard.
- Exercise. 15 minute.
- [Narrator] Harry also lent his voice
to the paper cutout detectives shown in the animations.
- Mackenzie McIntosh. - Hi.
- [Enola] Sir Alfred Hornblower.
- [Alfred] Tally-ho.
- [Narrator] And those are all the Easter eggs
in "Enola Holmes 2"
or at least the ones we can tell you about.
