Trainspotting (1996) More at IMDbPro »

There's both male and female full frontal nudity as well as sex scenes.

· A theme of the movie is Diane is underage (she is 16, Renton is 25). This may upset some people. At the time of the movies release, the legal age for consensual sex in the UK was 18 (it is now 16).

· Renton swaps the movie "100 Greatest Goals" with a movie titled "Tommy and Lizz Vol. 1". It ends up being a sex tape, and he watches the sex tape with SickBoy. The tape shows them graphically having sex on camera.

· In one scene Renton and Diane have sex showing full frontal nudity and Renton's penis is shown momentarily, but not close up.

· There are several jokes and references comparing being high on heroin to sex.

· Spud's penis is shown for a moment, but not in close-up, during the montage of the different couples all returning home from the nightclub to have sex.

Begbie throws a beer glass over a balcony and it lands on a woman bloodying her and starts a big bar fight thereafter.

Begbie hits a young man with a pool que and kicks him on the ground

Begbie robs a man and beats him up

Renton shoots a dog in the rear, causing it to attack it's owner.

Begbie beats a man very harshly on screen including cutting him up with a broken cup (off-screen).

A man is cut in the hand by a knife, we briefly see the wound.

non-stop adult pervasive language including uses of the word "cunt"

Begbie uses the word "fuck" everytime he is on-screen, which is often.

The movie is set around a group of friends who are all heroin addicts

several scenes involving people using heroin (on-screen) methodone, and other related drugs, and being high on these drugs

some of the characters have severe drug induced hallucinations

all characters talk about being on drugs, and how to score the perfect hit

all characters smoke and drink and several scenes take place in bars.

a dead baby is shown in its crib, which may shock and upset A LOT of viewers.

Renton experiences bizarre, disturbing hallucinations during heroin withdrawl, including the dead baby crawling across the ceiling and its head spinning.

The fact that this movie is based on heroin, heroin addicts, and their out-of-control lives may upset some people.

Renton takes pills to get rid of the heroin and poison in his body. One is a laxative. We see him literally sit on a toilet and poop. he then proceeds to jump in the toilet and swim around. (the latter half is supposedly a hallucination, but still weird.)

Spud is so high on heroin, he literally poops his pants in the middle of the night (off-screen) he wakes up in the fecal matter. .....he then takes his sheets to be washed and his girlfriend's mother takes them, flinging poop all over the room. (both on-screen) (which i guess is kinda funny, but may make some people sick)
