In the movie, a shy young Farrokh Bulsara (calling himself Freddie, but not yet Mercury) introduces himself to Brian May and Roger Taylor, guitarist and drummer of a band called Smile. Smile's lead singer Tim Staffell has quit to join another group called Humpy Bong (fact check: true). Brian and Roger are suspicious of this newcomer with the big te...
The movie shows bass player John "Deaky" Deacon joining the lineup immediately; in fact, the band would go through three bass players in quick succession before finding him. It also features an iconic moment where Freddie gets frustrated and rips off the top half of the mic stand for more on-stage mobility; this did in fact happen, but while he was...
In one of the more cliched biopic moments of Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen sells its touring van in order to buy studio time to make its first album. In fact, they didn't need to. A guy named Norman Sheffield, owner of Trident, one of the best recording studios in the UK, offered Queen free studio time and a stipend -- in exchange for owning the band's ...
In the movie, Elton John's manager John Reid takes over, and immediately sends Queen on a headlining tour of America. In fact, the band had already toured America twice (once nominally opening for a band called Mott the Hoople) before they met Reid. A more egregious error is that Queen is seen playing "Fat Bottomed Girls" on this 1974 tour. In fact...

EMI's actual chief Roy Featherstone was a big Queen fan. And while Featherstone did fret about "Bohemian Rhapsody" b...
Bohemian Rhapsodyshows Jim "Miami" Beach taking over as Queen's manager after John Reid commits the unpardonable sin of suggesting that Freddie take a massive payout to abandon the band and record a solo album. Freddie is so incensed he kicks Reid out of his limo. In fact, Reid was just too busy managing Elton John's stratospheric career to handle ...
Much has already been written about the problematic way Bohemian Rhapsodyapproaches Freddie's sexuality. Suffice to say the movie presents him as the lonely prisoner of his personal manager Paul Prenter, who leads Freddie into an ever deeper world of drugs and gay sex. In fact, Freddie had way more agency. He was the one who led the partying, not P...
Considering the involvement of the real Brian May and Roger Taylor in Bohemian Rhapsody, it's probably not surprising that the movie shies away from some of the band's true sour (and most dramatic) moments. The one stain Queen will never get out is the fact that it performed at Sun City, the Las Vegas-style resort of white apartheid South Africa, f...
