Revealing mistake: Right before the scene where Freddie meets with the band to try and make amends, he's arguing with that one man in the rain. After he walks away and it's raining only on him and on the pavement. If you look to the right there is no rain coming down on the grass or trees or anything else.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Starring: Mike Myers, Joseph Mazzello, Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton
Factual error: We see Fat Bottomed Girls being performed in 1975 in the USA. The song wasn't played live for the first time until 1978.
Ray Foster: It goes on forever, six bloody minutes!
Freddie Mercury: I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever.
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.
