* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'', ''Rocketman'' isn't afraid to show a warts-and-all depiction of Elton John. Its [[UsefulNotes/RestrictedRating R rating]] means that we see Elton going on coke binges; orgies are more openly depicted; the dialogue swings into ClusterFBomb territory (with occasional [[CountryMatters heavier language]]); and a much darker side of show business is seen. John Reid's character is also more sinister and manipulative than he was in ''Bohemian Rhapsody''. Despite that, however, [[spoiler:the film ends on a hopeful and upbeat note]].

** A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it one to Music/{{Queen}} -- when Elton is lazily looking at his records prior to his outburst at John Reid, the most visible album cover in the bunch is ''Music/ADayAtTheRaces''. Possibly doubles as a shout-out to ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'', which was partially directed by ''Rocketman'' director Dexter Fletcher.

VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The film is a musical fantasy that takes inspiration from Elton John's life and career told from the eschewed perspective of the man, with [[EnforcedTrope John himself]] giving permission for it to take artistic license as necessary (complete with the TagLine "based on a true fantasy"). As such, the film deviates from history at several points:
