Mistakes

A studio engineer tries to play with Ringo's drums and George says, "He's very fussy about his drums. They loom large in his legend," as he tries to tune his guitar. If you listen closely George is paying his fifth string while adjusting the tuning peg of his fourth string on his Rickenbacker. See more...

Trivia

If you look at one scene where Shake and Norm are in a room talking, you can see a copy of John Lennon's book, 'In His Own Write,' in the background. See more...

The Beatles, followed by policemen run past a car thief several times as he uses a file to try to break into the car. He eventually gets in taking the file with him, but in the next shot as a Bobbie asks him for a lift the actual keys to the car appear and then disappear dangling from the lock. [Perhaps that's why he was breaking in. If the owner had locked his keys in the car and not realised it, it makes the thief's job a lot easier.]

The desk sergeant tells the patrolmen, "Get Lloyd George (Paul's grandfather) over there next to the mechanic in the cloth cap and I'll sort this lot out will you". They bring Paul's grandfather over to sit next to Ringo but there's no one else there. [The sergent is being facetious. Lloyd George refers to Paul's grandfather, so the sergeant means to get him over there next to the mechanic in the cloth cap, meaning Ringo. There shouldn't be anyone else there, since the reference is only to two people.]

John Lennon wasn't supposed to be in the bathroom scene in which George teaches Shake how to shave; he just happened to be in the bathtub at the time. [There are so many things wrong with those two sentences that it is difficult to know where to start. It is not a real bethroom - it is a set in the Borehamwood Studios. None of the plumbing would have been real, and the bathtub would have to have been filled by hand. A character in a scene - especially a featured player - is never 'just there'. He would have to be lit properly, for a start. Lennon is wearing a joke costume - in the bath. Why? For a movie laugh, that's why. He is a part of this scene as scripted and shot.]
