Title: Need Help with a Rare Jack the Ripper vs Sherlock Holmes film Post by: double feature on June 12, 2010, 03:41:50 PM Back in the mid 80's I'd say probably about 1984-1987 I remember seeing a movie about Sherlock Holmes and Watson having to solve a case about Jack the Ripper in the foggy streets of London.Anyway the only real thing I remember about this movie is that besides Jack killing the woman at night he aslo had a midget accomplice that would hide in trees and jump down on victims with a knife.Actually it was a very good and suspensful movie.Pretty sure it wasn't American and that it was a British film.Anyone have any idea or clue about what film I am talking about?

Title: Re: Need Help with a Rare Jack the Ripper vs Sherlock Holmes film Post by: macabre on June 13, 2010, 02:33:29 PM hi sounds like a mixture between MURDER BY DECREE AND MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE,
but alas i must admit i have no idea what this movie may be called Title: Re: Need Help with a Rare Jack the Ripper vs Sherlock Holmes film Post by: double feature on June 15, 2010, 11:13:29 PM Definitely not From Hell I saw that one,and it's not Murder by Decree because I checked the trailer for that one the other night and that wasn't it.Now that I think about it I think murder may have been in the title though.
