Trainspotting 2 01:33 - Nov 6 with 1137 viewsPerublue

The original is so very important and special to me as it will also be to many.. I’ve managed to avoid initially purposely and with time ease in seeing the sequel…. With the fear of it tainting my memories.
It’s sitting in front of me right now teasing me .. taunting me .. on HBO Max.
Should I … ?

As sequels go, it’s pretty decent. But maybe lacks the gut punch of the original.

The film is fun but not a patch on the book.

There’s now five books I think featuring the main protagonists with a good few spin offs focusing on individual characters as well.

Trailing vapour since 1999.

I’ve not seen either film for whatever reason I was too young when it come out so slipped past me.

But Underworld born slippy, that 1st minute and 15 seconds or so of the song really gets to me, I love the start of that song.

The sequel is fun - I sort of view it as a greatest hits version of the first film with some added new scenes.

Yeah Porno is a brilliant book inc. all the main characters plus it has the introduction of the legendary "Juice" Terry Lawson. Glue is also a fantastic read.

As someone with an interest in the book, the film and Leith, I have come across this which I plan to buy.

Always gives me goosebumps when I hear that intro - fantastic.

Oh, and you really should watch the film, both films - but definitely the original.

Goosebumps is the best way of describing the feeling!

As others have said, you really must watch the original film at least. I also thought the sequel was well done.
I would say it easily holds it own with the best of British films.
No spoilers but it goes deep. Uneasy at times. Hilarious at others.
Give it a try. It will be interesting to hear what you think coming at it later. It was very much a part of my life at that time.

Only read the original Trainspotting book, have not read the follow-ups, never seen the films. Enjoyed the gritty, realistic, tragi/humourous nature of the book, really must try the next one.
Re the Trainspotting 2 film, my company had a depot near the film studio and had a kind request for a load of empty electrical Dyson vacuum boxes for a scene which we duly supplied. No idea if our boxes made the director's cut, whether they were background or knocked down in a chase scene or something.
