One of the many scenes in this film in which visual gags are incorporated comes at about 15 minutes in, when Sherlock Jr. has been shadowing the villain. The villain, unbeknownst to Jr., is aware that he is being followed, and leads Sherlock into a car on a train and locks him in. He escapes through the top of the train, only to discover the train has started moving. To create the visual gag, the camera remains in one spot, focusing on Sherlock. Sherlock has to run as fast as the train, in the opposing direction, in order to stay in the same place and not be carried away by the train. The train progressively speeds up, which requires Sherlock to do the same, adding to the intensity and humor of the situation.
