Pun in Alternate opening scene for Watson and Holmes?
I saw a Russian cam of Holmes and Watson. Apparently, the opening is different from the US opening. This opening scene takes place in a garden.
The video and sound was blurry but was the large vegetable Holmes tended a cucumber?
If so, the scene takes place in a cumber patch, which I think is a reference to actor Benedict Cumberbatch who played Holmes in another production.

Not sure about the pun, but at least it is true that there is an alternate opening scene.
Holmes (is) in a garden tending to some papaya-looking plant, and smacking it and calling it a dirty b*tch, and narrating that Watson had come back from a war in Afghanistan. Then, Watson tries to jump off of 221B Baker Street into the garden. Holmes keeps trying to tell him to jump into the other garden, but Watson slips off and smashes the plant, and writhes around in it, and Holmes tells him to stop.
As comments have mentioned, if those fruit were indeed cucumbers, it would be a cucumber patch, not a cumber patch. I haven't found any info regarding this and whether or not it would be a reference to Benedict Cucumberbatch.
