{{quote|'''Girls''': What are you talking about?
'''Boys''': (After a quick glance at each other to assure synchronicity) Sports! What are ''you'' talking about?
'''Girls''': Shopping.!}}
* [[Bonnie Scotland]]: Darkly and amusingly subverted.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Tommie is completely and utterly destroyed over the course of the second act.
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[The Can Kicked Him]]: Nobody dies in them, but toilets provide the setting for some of the movie's nastiest scenes, and at one point Begbie beats a man in a pub toilet until his blood mixes with the urine.
* [[Chained to a Railway]]: The trailer for the film, even though it doesn't happen.
* [[Character Development]]: theThe first time around, both book- and movie-wise, Dianne is portrayed as a sex-crazed, club-hopping teenager; by the time ''Porno'' comes up she's toned her recreational drug use down and she matured into a pretty well-adjusted university student, working on her thesis and being more than capable to hold her own in a conversation. She still loves to party, though.
* [[Character Filibuster]]: Renton's "Choose life" rant.
** Serves as an [[Ironic Echo]] as this is what Renton states he intends to do {{spoiler|with the money he stole from his friends}}.
