Two accidents on the set of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes film have started rumours amongst the crew that the film is cursed, sources have told the Sun. On Friday 29th November 2008 cast and crew, including star Jude Law, had to flee after a petrol tanker exploded near the set. Earlier in the week star of the film Robert Downey Jr, who plays Holmes, was knocked unconscious during a fight scene. A nurse on set at Chatham dockyard in Kent gave him six stitches in his mouth. “Robert was accidentally caught on the chin by a thundering hook. He went flying and was out cold," a source told the Sun. “He didn’t want to go to hospital and kept trying to get up. He’s a trooper. But there have been lots of other problems too. The crew have started joking about the curse of Sherlock Holmes.”
