As for the end of Sherlock Holmes 2, there are two flashforward shots used. The first one is in 114min 35sec, the shot flashforward to Sherlock Holmes is fighting with the man who want to kill Watson and him, and Sherlock wins the fighting by strongly hit the man's face. The flashforward shot begins with Sherlock's voice and the actions are made in slow-motion. The second one is in 115min 01sec, the flashforward shot showes us that Sherlock Holmes loses the fighting and he is pushed out of the balcony by the man and than he falls into the waterfall. This flashforward also begins with Sherlock's voice of explaining how to fight the man, and the actions still in slow-motion. These flashforward shots are the positive and negative predictions of Sherlock Holmes himself. But what happened in the end is totally different from his prediction, the two men falls in to the waterfall together. It's a great comparison of the thing happened and the prediction.
As for the end of Sherlock Holmes 1, the short flashforward shot used as well. The flashforward shots are brought by the words, the first one is the sergeant was killed in the sewage, another one is about the Blackwood's device.
Both of the end of films are flashforward shots, but in the first film, the flashforward shots are used for predicting the things had happened before and analysing; the flashforward shots in the second film are used for predicting what will be happened next and analysing then comparing.
