Continuity mistake: In the scene where Drew and his band are setting up on stage, just about to do "Heaven", you can see the Mic has the decorations on it. Then just before Lonny goes to put them on they magically disappear.
Rock of Ages (2012)
Directed by: Adam Shankman
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Dakota Sage Grant, Diego Boneta, Matthew Rush Sullivan
Factual error: When Sherrie and Drew are in Tower Records, the background song is I Remember You by Skid Row. But that album wasn't released until 1989, and the movie is set in 1987.

Suggested correction: The movie also says that Drew wrote "Don't Stop Believin" when the song came out in 1981. They also sing Heaven and More than words which didn't come out until 1989 and 1990 respectively. It's a musical that's full of 80's music, so they pulled all sorts of 80's music. It's not a mistake to have songs show up in a year, in a completely made up timeline.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where "More Than Words/Heaven" is sung, there is a montage of shots of Drew playing guitar on stage and Sherrie singing outside. One of the shots of Drew has been horizontally flipped - in it he's now playing guitar left-handed and his "The Bourbon Room" T-shirt has the logo back-to-front.
Trivia: Tom Cruise modeled his portrayal of Stacee Jaxx on a combination of Axl Rose from Guns N' Roses and Bret Michaels from Poison.
Trivia: When a man is thrown off The Bourbon Room stage and falls to the floor, he yells a Wilhelm scream.
Dennis Dupree: This place is about to become a sea of sweat, ear-shattering music and puke.
Stacee Jaxx: I know me better than anyone... because I live in here... and nobody else can.
Constance Sack: I can.
Dennis Dupree: Paul! You're early.
Paul Gill: Actually, I told Stacee the gig was last night, so technically we're a day late... don't tell him.
Question: Did one of the church ladies in the "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" scene, poop herself? The one with the floral shorts. Watch at the end when she is walking out of the church. (00:25:15)
Answer: The marks could be from when they were sliding across the pews.
Answer: 100% period! If you watch from the beginning of the scene, you'll see the stain slowly growing, also it's not on the side of her shorts, is in-between her legs, and eventually down the back.
Answer: Period shorts.
