One scene in Trainspotting is a direct homage to (or rip-off of) A Clockwork
Orange - the scene in the disco. See this months Details Magazine for a
funny list of other Trainspotting movie references (including Mean
Streets, Goodfellas, The Man with the Golden Arm, The Knack and How to
Get It, A Hard Day's Night, Twin Peaks, The Exorcist and Alfie).
