Renton decides to quit heroin, though it is implied he has tried before, and follows a withdrawal program that Sick Boy devised. He begins to enjoy his sober, drug-free life, and starts saving up money while maintaining correspondence with Diane. Renton's final monologue and his broad grin indicate a hopefulness for the future as he finally puts the demons of his past behind him. The art director wants all the money to make the sets better, the camera wants all the lights to make them look better, the production department wants to keep all the money and get more drivers.In March 2013, Boyle said the sequel would be only loosely based on Porno which he felt is "not a great book in the way that Trainspotting, the original novel, is genuinely a masterpiece". Begbie visits Spud and, reading his memoirs, discovers that Renton left Spud his share of the money.

We're all protective of the Trainspotting legacy and we want to make a film that adds to that legacy and doesn't take away from it.

The combination of images and music with the setting of the criminal underworld has drawn comparisons to Pulp Fiction and the films of Quentin Tarantino, that had created a certain type of "90s indie cinema" which "strove to dazzle the viewer with self-conscious cleverness and empty shock tactics". Tommy gets Sick Boy, Spud and Renton to join him on a walk in the Scottish highlands at the end of a train line but the guys are reluctant, believing they're being punished by Tommy for the hard time he's receiving from Lizzy. Ewan McGregor is drafted down to the Smoke to do his bit, as is Scottish football commentator Archie MacPherson who is squeezed into the suite for 20 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon to add some spicy, double-entendre-layered commentary to the footage of Archie Gemmel's legendary 1978 World Cup goal that is intertwined with the film's pivotal sex scene.

Begbie pulls out a sawn-off shotgun and tries to kill them both, but Spud hits him with a toilet bowl.

Something crashes in Sick Boy and he becomes more nihilistic than ever, living only to feed his and his friends' addiction. Empire magazine gave the film five out of five stars and described the film as "something Britain can be proud of and Hollywood must be afraid of. Rolling Stone 's Peter Travers wrote, "the film's flash can't disguise the emptiness of these blasted lives. But for some of the parts, we knew who we wanted - people like Ewen Bremner (who eventually plays the part of Spud) and Bobby Carlyle (Begbie). Sure, have a bit of it in there, but we all know that T2 is a sequel of a film famous enough to have stuck in our memories.He throws Renton through the floorboards, leaving him hanging by the neck from electrical wiring; Begbie tries to strangle him, but Sick Boy douses him with pepper spray and saves Renton. I think [Robert Carlyle] would love to do that because it's an interesting twist on the character", Boyle said.
