Corrected entry: When Roger gets angry with John and Brian at breakfast, the counter is covered with crockery and food until Roger grabs the coffee pot and turns to smash it, at which point the counter is clear.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Starring: Mike Myers, Joseph Mazzello, Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton
Factual error: In a scene in 1980, Brian May is teaching everyone the beat for his new song "We Will Rock You." However that song was released in 1977.
Brian May: I didn't know it was fancy dress, Fred.
Freddie Mercury: I've got to make an impression, darling!
Brian May: You look like an angry lizard!
Trivia: When Ray Foster, played by Mike Myers, is talking about Bohemian Rhapsody, he says that isn't a song to "hear in the car and yell" - exactly what Myers did when it played in the car in Wayne's World.
Question: What is the significance of the guy moving the button on the control panel at the Live Aid concert? He moved the "no" tape and slides the buttons and then puts the tape back.
Answer: The answer is that during Live Aid, the soundboard engineers had a set volume to work to. The story goes that the soundboard engineer for LA also worked for Queen and set the volume louder for their set only, to make sure they came across louder and therefore better for the audience. That's one of the reasons that Queen's set is regarded as the best on the day.
Correction: This is incorrect. After Roger throws food at Brian, Freddie walks out and the camera follows him to the field behind the house. You can hear, in the background, the boys yelling, fighting and throwing pans and breakables including cups and plates. And the camera cuts back to the boys, when Brian and John tell Roger not to throw the "coffee machine" - the counter is free of plates and cups but it's covered with spilled coffee and bits of food... everything was thrown around the kitchen during their fight.
I don't think that's right (but I don't have the movie to hand). As I recall it, the time between the two points I'm discussing (Roger turns round to get the coffee pot and then goes to smash it) is only a couple of seconds. But human memory is fallible. If you have a link to the scene as shown in theatres, I'd be interested.

You can see it if you go to YouTube - spilled coffee, bits of food and in the upper left you can see remnants of the stems from the flowers that were in the vase. Here's the YouTube link. https://youtu.be/17CluXgNMmQ.
Video blocked on content grounds, sadly, but I'll take your word for it.
