A good entertaining villain comes from the unexpected. Dredger giving him a moment to catch his breathe and later asking him to hold on was unexpected, yet funny which makes us like him.
Well they had every confidence in Dredger, who I'm sure could easily take up two people's worth by himself, and they were going 2 on 1 for the other one. They probably thought it was advantageous to them to split.

Exactly. He's probably used to people being so intimidated by his size that he can just destroy them easily. So when Holmes just calmly stands up to him, he can't help being impressed - "This little guy actually has the balls to give me a proper fight; this could be good!"

I particularly like that Dredger seems to really appreciate Sherlock is a challenge and even nods like “Ok, I see you, Mr. Holmes” when he blocks his second attempt to grab him. A respect among foes
I just love this scene because it makes me laugh every time lol between Sherlock and Dredger they both say “ One moment please” and they stumble to get up as well lol it’s just so funny to me
Both are cool. The BBC it´s like: I´m on Rehab and don´t wanna smoke anymore. And Guy Ritchie's like: fuck that Victorian Era, mate. I´m gonna get drunk, do drugs and fight people.
I love how entertainingly chaotic the combat is in these movies sometimes without losing their significance. It feels realistic, too, at least to a degree. Not everybody knows martial arts. Sometimes it’s about ending it as fast or properly as you can.
I love it when Sherlock fights. I also love it when he speaks French. A kick back to his French grandmother Vernet (or is that great-grandmother), not sure. I've been trying to map out Sherlock's family tree. It's actually quite interesting.
Me: Oh god, this guy is gigantic, he probably acts as bad as he looks Dredger: *Waits for Sherlock* Me: Oh wow, this guy is actually pretty nice! Dredger: *Proceeds to choke Sherlock*
Sherlock Holmes is a true genius. He saw them holding gas and some other stuff and figured they were going to burn the place down. Truly an astonishing conclusion I’m deeply baffled
