    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Queen's set at Live Aid is widely regarded as one of the best live performances in rock-and-roll history. In a 2005 Channel Four poll of over 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives, Queen's Live Aid (1985) performance was named 'The World's Greatest-Ever Live Performance.'
    • Goofs
      The film indicates that the band's manager Jim Beach was trying to get them onto the list of acts to play the Wembley Live Aid concert. In reality, Bob Geldof had held a press conference in early 1985 to announce the concert and named Queen as one of the acts who had agreed to play. Geldof had not spoken to any of the acts beforehand so this was the first any of them had heard about it. However as nobody wanted to look like the party pooper and back out, almost all the acts Geldof name-checked played at the concert, including the band Dire Straits (who had sold out a concert at nearby Wembley Arena on the night of the Live Aid concert so had to play two gigs in one day).
    • Quotes

      Brian May: It's America. They're puritans in public, perverts in private.

    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox fanfare is performed in a rock music style (composed by Queen members Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums).

    10/10

    The Critics where wrong about the song in 1975,and they are wrong about the movie in 2018

    This movie is a must see for any music and movie lover Queen fan or no Queen fan,anyone who sees this movie will be going through a rollercoaster of Emotions Beeing it Queens music or the story behind the music Rami Malek puts down an excellent version of Freddie Mercury, but all the actors play great in this movie In my opinion best thing to do is ignore the criticism and go see it for yourself.

    • How long is Bohemian Rhapsody?Powered by Alexa
    • Is this movie suitable for a (fairly open-minded) 12-year-old girl but sensitive to profanity? Thanks.
    • I saw the movie but was trying remember what Freddie said right near the end when they were getting ready to play Live Aid, and he told them he had aids but he said something about he didnt want them to be sad that he was a performer and thats what he would do? Does anyone remember?
    • Are all the songs lip sync? Does Malik sing any of the songs?
