What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Irvine Welsh's debut novel 'Trainspotting' (1993).
- Irvine Welsh made a small appearance as a drug dealer.
- Initially, Irvine Welsh's book was adapted into a stage play. Ewan Bremner played Renton in the play, and portrayed Spud in the film.
- Although the film is set in Edinburgh, most of the scenes were shot in Glasgow.
- In America, the first 20 minutes of the film were dubbed because audiences couldn't understand the Scottish accent.
- The murals on the wall of the 'Volkan' club are similar to those on the walls of the 'Milk Bar' from Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971).
- Among the drawings, you can also spot Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster in Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver' (1976).
- Sick Boy is obsessed with James Bond. The actor who played him, Jonny Lee Miller, is the grandson of Bernard Lee, who played M in the Bond series until 1979.
- Renton is reading a book about Hollywood star Montgomery Clift, who suffered from an addiction to all kinds of drugs.
- The security guard in the store at the beginning of the film is John Hodge, the screenwriter.
- To play a person who is on drugs, Ewan McGregor had to follow a diet that excluded all alcohol and dairy products. It took him two months to lose weight.
- Australia recorded a peculiar record – 'Trainspotting' became the film most often stolen from video stores.
- The final scene where Spud retrieves money from the locker is reminiscent of a similar scene in 'Once Upon a Time in America' (1983).
