TJ Flores wrote (May 2009): I felt obligated to report the latest Kurrgan sighting to OWW after watching the trailer for the upcoming film Sherlock Holmes, which stars Robert Downey, Jr. I didn't expect to see Kurrgan battling it with a giant sledgehammer out in the trailer, looking massive as usual. After poking around IMDB for Robert Maillet's page, I stumbled across this. So, yeah. Latest Kurrgan altercation: Kurrgan defeats Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr, or RDJ) by knockout on set during the filming of Sherlock Holmes. There are links/transcrips of four other articles about the incident on Maillet's IMDB. Apparently RDJ needed 6 stitches in the mouth. He's hardcore.
