Incident at Victoria Falls (also known as Sherlock Holmes and the Incident at Victoria Falls and Sherlock Holmes: The Star of Africa) is the 1992 sequel to Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady, and the second and final film in the proposed series of television films Sherlock Holmes the Golden Years written by Bob Shayne. It starred Christopher Lee and Patrick Macnee as Holmes and Watson in old age. Watson mentions that he is in his mid-50s and twice says he is getting too old for this sort of adventure. Both Lee and Macnee were 69 years old when this series was filmed. This does not, however, prevent Lee and fellow actor Claude Akins from achieving a remarkable stunt, sitting on the cowcatcher on the front of a moving steam train for several minutes of dialogue.

Plot

In the film, Holmes is about to retire to Sussex and keep bees when King Edward (Joss Ackland) sends him on a mission to South Africa to retrieve the Star of Africa diamond.[1] Complications arise and Holmes meets several historical people including ex-President Theodore Roosevelt (Claude Akins),[2] and Lillie Langtry (Jenny Seagrove).[3] He also encounters the fictional character A. J. Raffles.[4]
