* CantTieHisTie: The film opens with Inspector Hansen agonising over how to properly tie his cravat for dinner with Sir charles at Sir Charles' SmokyGentlemensClub, and complaining that there are over a dozen different ways to tie a cravat; to the bewilderment of his assistant Sergeant Bell. Later, when Hansen confronts Prince Albert during a pheasant shoot, Albert looks at Hansen's cravat and tells him that a reverse Clarendon is really only appropriate in town and unties it before retying it in an ascot, which he says is much more appropriate for the country.
* DramaticDrop: The milkman who discovers the butchered prostitute in the alley drops the jug of milk he is holding and shatters on the cobblestones: the milk mingling with the blood.
