YMMV / Give My Regards to Broad Street

• Harsher in Hindsight: Linda's counterpart is killed in the "Eleanor's Dream" sequence, along with Ringo's and Barbara Bach's, when their boat is kicked free from its mooring and sent over an Inevitable Waterfall. Immediately afterwards in the dream sequence, Paul sees their ghosts...and Linda's is on a horse in the sky. This becomes a Tear Jerker when you recall Sir Paul's last words to Linda as she breathed her last: "You're up on your beautiful Appaloosa stallion. It's a fine spring day. We're riding through the woods. The bluebells are all out, and the sky is clear blue..."
• Reality Subtext: This was probably unintentional (or subconscious), but the "Eleanor's Dream" sequence ends with Harry's Victorian counterpart being stabbed by Rath's, then struggling up the steps of an old building (a hotel, perhaps?) before dying in front of Paul. Which may have been a reference to another friend of Paul's who was murdered in the shadow of an ornate old building...
• Special Effect Failure: Most noticeable on higher definitions. (When you can see the fluorescent lightbulbs in the tape case...)
  • For about two-thirds of the film, the film soundtrack recording is inconsistent — the level is a little low and a little uneven. Since this is a musical, that is a problem. It also encouraged Fun with Subtitles in the last DVD release.
  • It is known that Ringo Starr was forced to drum along with a drum machine to keep time. The big problem? You can still hear that drum machine in the film! That really was unfair to Ringo.
