"Fearless lives forever."
Bohemian Rhapsody - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Mike Myers, who famously rocked out to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the movie "Wayne's World," plays a fictional EMI executive named Ray Foster who dismisses the song, claiming "no one will play Queen" and that teenagers won't appreciate the operatic section.
This is a significant and ironic piece of meta-casting. The scene in "Wayne's World" is credited with repopularizing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the United States in the 1992. Myers' character in this film is hilariously proven wrong by his own real-life cinematic history.
Adam Lambert, the current lead singer for Queen, has a brief cameo appearance in the film.
Lambert appears as a truck driver who Freddie Mercury makes eye contact with at a truck stop, an early hint at Freddie's exploration of his sexuality. It's a subtle nod to the man who has been carrying on Freddie's vocal legacy with the band in recent years.
During the recording of "We Will Rock You," Brian May is shown explaining to the band that he wants to create a song that the audience can perform.
This scene accurately reflects the real-life inspiration for the song. Brian May has stated that he wrote "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" as anthems that would directly involve the audience in their live shows, a revolutionary concept at the time.
