Trivia / Filth

• Fake Scot: Jamie Bell as Ray Lennox.
• Harpo Does Something Funny: The alley scene after the Christmas party had no directions in the screenplay; it was simply called "Shit Reservoir Dogs".
• Method Acting: James McAvoy revealed in an interview that he would drink up to half a bottle of whiskey every night so that his character looked rough and hungover.
• What Could Have Been:
  • David Tennant was considered to star as Bruce Robinson.
  • In the first draft of the car singing scene, the song was "I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Foreigner. Irvine Welsh chose "Silver Lady".
• You Look Familiar: Assuming the film version is still set in the same continuity as Trainspotting, Shirley Henderson playing Bunty in this work and Gail in Trainspotting qualifies.
