Did Renton and Simon fight?


We see it in the trailers but do they have a brawl in the beginning of the movie? I guess Simon gets a little vengeance and then they make up? What happened?

reply

Don't know why you can't just wait to watch the film to find out for yourself, but yes, they fight. "Make up" is probably putting it a little strongly too, Sick Boy continues to harbour a deep resentment against Mark throughout the film...

He's been grounded by his mum.

A huge comical fight that goes on for ages with an abrupt end. It's not unlike the family guy peter vs. chicken scene.

reply

How does it start? Does simon just start beating him after a few exchanged lines? How does it end?

For the last time, I don't mind spoilers, I welcome them and I am not going to wait till March to hear the story of this film.

Sickboy just suddenly starts to smash Renton's face in with the pool cue while they are speaking.

They fight all over Sickboys pub while the patrons look on, smashing the place up. Eventually Sickboy manages to smash Rentons face in to the side of the pool table at speed, knocking him out. It's quite a brutal scene.

Then he is just fine later on. Seriously the hit looked like it should have killed him.

Save up some money and go to the cinema and watch it yourself instead of coming on here and asking that, you tightfisted old beast. Pathetic beyond words asking that.

reply

To be fair, he did say something about waiting till March so I'm guessing he's American.

reply

More likely he's in Saughton beast wing and getting out in march. Using a smartphone smuggled in by his mother to post here.

Looks like I'm dealing with an internet tough guy here. I love it how guys like you talk like this online, where your real name, address and face is from the people you so brazenly insult. Takes a lot of balls to be keyboard warriors these days. But whatever helps make your day go by, so be it I guess. Have the last insulting word, tough guy, I gotta go back to my family.

By the way I am from the states. Pittsburgh, PA in fact and I do have to wait till march. If you don't believe me or if you really want to continue this exchange, then look me up on Facebook. Jim Sty from Pittsburgh. I'll be waiting to see who you really are ?

reply

Yes they fight. It's pretty realistic in that they look ridiculous, like when Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fight in Bridget Jones. Ridiculous when normal characters fight like professionals.
