@starkraving666 Yes! You missed this plot point, too! Now I don't feel so bad for missing it.
The whole idea was that a year earlier he was in Germany with no beard and that's when his assistant somehow tragically died and had his soul stuck in the dummy.
The reason no one in London recognizes him, is because of his crafty disguise!
But I had to have that explained to me tonight. So I am glad to have some company in the head-scratching club.

@paco @starkraving666 IMO it seems like a much more complicated story than that he simply grew a beard
@diazona Yes. Needlessly complicated. But if you look at his face in the beardless flashback, he has signs of cystic acne or some other skin condition. It's entirely possible the actor couldn't grow a decent beard. If you're more set on the actors than the plot (and who wouldn't be?), this is an easy adjustment.
That's entirely too much thinking for this film.
@paco @starkraving666 lol yeah too much thinking for sure
I like where you're going with this though
