The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson - Hunt for the tiger

Sebastian Moran in the Soviet/Russian series, with his airgun/rifle (a custom Vetterli-based rifle); pic and information from the IMFDB page (click photo to go the page). 

I think Russian/Soviet Moran has a rather dashing moustache.

russian moran will beat your ass with his mutton chops

So here we have six Morans of varying, er, quality. But one thing they all have in common: no not that they’re murderous bastards. Hats!

This has been a Morans in hats appreciation post.

I want to start singing Eye of the Tiger in this scene.

(from the Russian/Soviet version of The Final Problem.)

From the Russian/Soviet TV The Empty House adaptation.

He seems very much in awe of Holmes here. Personally I would imagine Moran being far more likely to call Holmes a string of rude names but I expect Watson was glossing over that when he wrote the story up. ;D
