Which film featured Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” sending it to No 2 on the charts in 1992?

The film that famously featured Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” sending it to No. 2 on the charts in 1992, was “Wayne’s World.” This highly popular comedy, released in February 1992, revitalized the 1975 Queen classic for a new generation and solidified its place in pop culture history.

The iconic scene features protagonists Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey), along with their friends, headbanging in their car to the operatic rock anthem. Mike Myers, a huge Queen fan, fought hard to include “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the film’s opening sequence, despite initial resistance from studio executives who favored a more contemporary rock song like one from Guns N’ Roses. Myers insisted the song was “inherently comedic” and a perfect fit for the characters.
