The movie stars Rami Malek as frontman Freddie Mercury - and it's fair to say there's a pretty strong resemblance.
Brian May (played by Gwilym Lee) look surprised when Mercury tells him there's an operatic section in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Mercury's response to the classic track being too long is to quip: "I pity your wife if you think six minutes is forever."
