Short description
When a group of rebellious deejays decides to defy the ban on government-censored music, they take to the seas to broadcast music and mayhem to millions of adoring fans.
What's left behind the scenes
- There is a scene in the film where one of the characters plays a musical composition dated 1969, despite the fact that the film's action takes place in 1966.
- In the film "Radio Rock," the station broadcast on medium wave at 203 m, but the Russian translation repeatedly states the frequency 103.4 FM (the frequency of Moscow's Radio "Mayak," whose DJs voiced the main characters).
- A significant amount of equipment shown on the ship was borrowed from Radio Caroline (a pirate British radio station founded in 1964 to broadcast popular music and avoid paying royalties to record companies). The film depicts equipment manufactured in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but Radio Caroline didn't start using it until the 1980s.
- The ship Radio Caroline served as the prototype for the radio station "Radio Rock," and was equipped with a 10-kilowatt radio transmitter. The ship also sank.
- The song 'Let's Dance', featured in the film, was written in 1983, although the action takes place in the 1960s. The film also uses a cover version of the song 'Stay with Me' recorded in 2009, alongside the original version from 1966.
