Bohemian Rhapsody mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the "Another one bites the dust" scene, Freddie is given a sheet, which he holds with his left hand, beer in his right. A shot later the beer is gone and the sheet has swapped hands. Then a shot later the bottle reappears in his right hand. He never gives it or has it given back. (01:12:55)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Freddie drops the lyrics sheet after shoving it in Roger's face - he holding his beer in his right hand. Freddie gives the beer to Roger and when the camera moves to a close up of John's hand's playing the bass, Freddie crosses in front of John and picks up a new sheet from the table where Brian is sitting. The bottle never reappears in Freddie's hand.

You're basing your correction on a moment that occurs minutes later in the scene. And the table is 3 meters away. He couldn't have left the bottle anywhere.

Trivia: When the first credits end, there's a POV shot of Freddie walking on stage. As stated on the making-of, the crowd was copy-pasted using CGI. Pause the shot: At the 7 o'clock position and the 4 o'clock one you can spot the same guy 3 times (big screen recommended).

Continuity mistake: When Freddie gives the ring to Mary, his right hand is either below the ring case or holding the front part, depending on the shot.

Continuity mistake: When the movie begins and Freddie is launching suitcases, the colour and type of the bags is not continuous between the first shot and the immediate wide angle.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Brian tells Freddie about "We will rock you", they both clap. Right before Freddie asks "What's the lyrics?" he raises his hands to clap but from the opposite angle they are down and he isn't clapping any more.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Freddie lies in bed with Mary, she has her head on a sketchbook with the Queen logo drawn on it. The sketchbook keeps changing positions between shots.
