2:52 is one of the most inspiring moments ever for me in cinema. Renton glances at the bag of cash whilst listening to the chaos behind him. It's one of those "What the hell am I doing here in this situation?" moments. I've often had that glance in my mind when in similar situations, realised I'd had enough and thought "Yup! Time to move on!"
Ironically it was Spud was the right one because the money somehow turn them to evil after he decided to gave whole money to Veronika and didn't want see their friends fight to each other, except Begbie
@@ban66a1 What!? What are you trying to say? He gave the money to Veronica because he wanted to do something good; he knew they were all no good. It had nothing to do with seeing his friends fight each other. They were all terrible people, period.
@@johngilmore697 Spud was a reasonably good natured fellow... just trapped in the junkie cycle with bad friends. Whereas Sick Boy would have no qualms about stealing the money (and Begbie is just a pure psychopath---without any opiate habit lowering his moral bar either), Spud expressed genuine confusion at the idea of running off with the money. As if such a thought would never even cross his mind.
It seems to me that Renton's reaction to 2:24 is a very important moment. At this second, a real transition moment occurs, which shows that Mark is finally and irrevocably tired of his lifestyle.
Exactly, I remember seeing the movie the first time and right after Begbie blew the smoke in his face I said that was the straw that broke the camels back, he is taking the money and bolting. You could see before he was wrestling with the Idea beforehand talking to Spud. But the instance Begbie blew the cigarette smoke in his face he had fully made up his mind in that second. And also to move on and “choose life” quitting drugs and the lifestyle that goes along with it. A example of exceptional movie making.
Renton was already tired of it. He was ready to take the money a few seconds earlier with Spud while Begbie & Simon were in the bathroom. I believe Spud would’ve been down, but he thought Renton was only joking and Simon returned before Spud realized the proposition was serious. What really happens at 2:24 is Renton sees his chance to grab the bag and make a run for it while Spud & Sickboy are occupied trying to calm Begbie. However, Begbie being the most treacherous of the crew, immediately recognizes Mark’s intentions, so he demands Mark bring him a cigarette to prevent him from running off with the bag. The movie has already established that Mark is done with his old friends & lifestyle by this point. From Begbie crashing with him in London, to his disgust with the h deal immediately following Tommy’s funeral. Mark does however hold a soft spot for Spud. This scene was so tense because Mark & Begbie both knew that Mark intended to run out of the pub with the money, but not a word was spoken about it directly. Begbie telling Renton to “bring me down a smoke” was his way of saying “don’t even think about touching that money”.
Me too. You realize that some people need to be in your past. I got tired of the lifestyle and all the drama that came with it and it wasn't even me. It was my ex's friends. He had the nerve to bring some bitch to our house that had to hit out on her and let her divide up drugs in our garage. Then he couldn't figure out why I was pissed off at him and why I told him I didn't want her at her house anymore. Guilty by association, that's all it would take would be for those idiots to find out that we're friends with her and that would be it. I don't blame him for feeling the way he does. After a while you grow up and you get sick of it, at least some people do.
@@babyhandgrenade4004 hell yes. NA didn't do shit for me, but introduce me to more connects, 12 steps didn't do shit either, what did it was....... being sick and tired of being around shitty people, and feeling like shit all the time, i was also damn tired of being sick and tired. It takes more energy to be an addict than it does to be straight, being around fuck ups and assholes definitely made me sick and tired of it. 8 years clean next month. I really got tired of being a damn pin cushion too. Long story, but you get the gist of it.
@@joseferreira2620 bluntly honest I respect that. It’s hard asf too watching these scenes too but this movies too fucking good to not rewatch scenes every once in a while
Good point. Strangely few people see how they appear to be two sides of the same coin and Begbie is a more straightforward, down to earth and talkative version of Frank Booth.

You should all read the prequel novel "The Blade Artist" which describes Begbies early years in school when he sorts out a school bully and becomes friends with Renton.
I think later down the line, when it came to divvying the money, Begbie would've held them up and taken it. Rent probably had the best-intentioned plan. At 2:22 Renton realizes his friends are fuckups and he has to leave 'em.
Nah, Begbie was a psycho, but he respected his friends. In the book, it's stated that betraying a friend is the worst sin in Begbie's world, and that it deserved the worst punishment
@@wolfzeru5745 *It is in the books. In each chapter with Begbie it's stated that his mates (not Jean, or his unborn children, or his two bairns in the sequel) always come first. There are umpteen examples of Begbie being first at the bar and subbing everyone who is potless. The movie is a bad representation of the source material in showing that Begbie, while psychotic, does put his friends above all else*
Being that I have known a few back in the day who would loose their shit at any moment and ruin any occasion due to their Ego I can understand why Ren closes his eyes. Begbie worst kind of ass hole to know. Love the movie Begbie makes me sick. LOL
Yep, I've been around a few like him. They have a God complex and think everyone should worship them. Truly psycho. Brent can usually hold his own but he knows that begby is fucking psycho.
yes, shocking eh, horrible situation to have to encounter someone like that, if you ever do and are able bodied, don't hesitate for a second, get in first and fast and take them down.
Gold MAKES that show. It's good brain candy, I'd watch it over...most television...a veritable shark-jumping olympiad, bristling with c-list tarts and ever-evolving silliness...but yeah, Gold.
They put up 4,000, collected 16,000, profited 4,000. Rent boy put up 2,000 and deserves 6,000 of the profit but he would be lucky to get 4,000 back total.

That's when Mark makes his decision that pivots everything. The books are absolutely amazing. I'm reading the series a third time.

Forgot how good this film was
This is really awesome, i forgot it sometimes too. Seriously good movie, 5/5
Yup haven't watched it in like a decade but searched one clip and fell back in love with it for days lol
Jesus is God 🦁 and only way to heaven. Check my channel to learn more. .
One of the best
The 90's had one of the best decades for movies.
As soon as Renton sees Begbie starting this tendency, he knew it is the last straw...
i love that underground cues up when the smoke hits him.
that song playing is like, the straw that broke the camels back.
I suspect you mean Underworld. Close enough, I guess :P
Begbie is such a detestable little worm. Great performance.
The look on rents face. He's sick and tired of all this shit and I don't blame him and I've been in a position like that myself with certain friends.

2:08 Renton is like: "oh my..."
O shit here we go again
Seriously? Again!
He already knew it was the same old bullshit, toxicity with them. Spud wasn't too bad, but sick boy and begbie were dicks, Especially Begbie.
Mind Renton's reaction at 2:24. That was the moment he was fully done and decided it was time to get away.
You‘re right!
In my first week of quitting smoking and watching Begbie puff on that cigarette is TORTURE but I can't stop watching it 🤣
Quit that shit it’s just old fashion that makes you lose money and health.

@@joseferreira2620 bluntly honest I respect that. It’s hard asf too watching these scenes too but this movies too fucking good to not rewatch scenes every once in a while
You still smoke free?
Almost 15 years for me and that still gave me a craving
Robert Carlyle in this scene is the most frightening character since Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
Good call. They can sit with Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast
indeed, quite terrifying.
Good point. Strangely few people see how they appear to be two sides of the same coin and Begbie is a more straightforward, down to earth and talkative version of Frank Booth.
One day , I'll be able to understand all the dialogue in this movie 🤣
Me and you both brother or sister

Begbie kills Jeremy Clarkson
And then Robert Carlyle went on to play Hitler.
And lennon in yesterday
And Rumplestiltskin
and Liverpool FC's biggest fan,Felix DeSousa
He’s amazing in Ravenous
And was in that Oasis video.
NICE ONE, FRANCO!!
If it came down to it Begbie would’ve killed all of them before losing the money. Renton did the right thing despite it being scummy.

fooooksake
I absolutely love this scene
“Get some good speed for ma ma like”
extreme case of Napoleon's Complex
I forgot about this scene immediately after they got the money. You can totally see why Renton did what he did
this was uploaded in 2008... how does this not have more views?
I wonder the same thing. Also only 25 comments. Good stuff doesn't get views
Because AI only wants U to see shite.
Because people are stupid... They like their hollywood super heroes in tight pants
@@kidsundance9021 because most people have either never heard of it, or its just too heavy for them.
Because there are 10000000 identical clips here?

What a beautiful accent Scottish have.
Just like russian one

Albeit, the most vicious and daring.
and biggest a-hole in the room....
@@isnowyazn It's easy to be vicious and daring when you don't care how you affect other people's lives.
This film is 1 my favorites ever..!!
And we loved T2.. luv all of em esp ewan mcGregor McYumYum
2:51 the moment Renton knew he was done with Begbie and taking his money.
Fuuuuccckkk siiiiiccckkk!!!!! Hahahahahaa!!! Fucking nice one franco!!!
2:03 spud reaction in back
That's how you prove a point
Why they didnt split money equally right after deal?
Why didn’t they just split it immediately? Get themselves a bag each and split it up. Stupid putting all the eggs in one basket.
"....and the bag...."
I don't get why they didn't 't just split the money immediately.
nobody wants to carry big stacks of money in their jacket like that
I always wanted to see begbie get stomped out
Don't Worry, Spud smashes his head with a toilet in T2
And let me tell you, it was satisfying
@@bluetrailerproductions7488 heard of spoilers, ya moron?
Why are they planning to divide the £16,000 pounds four ways when Renton put up £2,000 of the initial £4,000 they used to buy it with?
I’ve always thought he should get 8k
Because they took equal risks. And also because Begbie is a crazy guy
The savage years of young Adolf.
Fffffffick Sake! Actually Franko wis waiting for that! Total bawheid!
Mark got screwed here. He put in the 4 grand to only get it back.
This reminds me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas only better
Anyone know the name of the group on the juke box?
Sleeper -Statuesque
16 000 pounds Jesus, I wouldn't do nothing for that sorry sum of money. Not even in the 90ties when the course and value were different

What the fuck is the song at the very end of the video?
Underworld - Born Slippy

I understand it. Horrible or not
