I had a friend that was just like Begby… This is mid 1980’s NYC crack era… No lie, he’s been in prison for the past 30 plus years. Easily killed a few people. Never coming home, I’m not sad for him though, he’s the kind of monster that belongs in there.

I think the most horrific thing about this is that he and bloke he assaulted were sober or near enough. I’ve been in a few pub fights or post pub fights, usually you are so pissed once you get over the physical injuries the mental scars fade because quite frankly you can’t really recall the incident happening so you are numb to it after a while. Getting horribly beaten up when sober is a different matter. You remember every second off it.
The trainspotting books are one of the best series of books ever written. Skagboys is brutal. The scene where sicboy pimps out his latest bit to the killer of her dad! Absolute genius.
At this point Begbie was already wanted for armed robbery and was carrying around a huge sum of cash from a drug deal. One would think Begbie would have enough sense to not draw attention to himself.
Begbie was always a major roll model for me growing up, only a wee fellow in statue but what a big personality, social skills were always on point and he had a great tash, nice fella
Begbie was a genuine psycho, but there definitely has to be some kind of satisfaction when someone mouths off to you thinking you aint gonna do something, even shrug you off.. and then you do, and I mean REALLY do lol.
If you think the Begbie character was a total psycho in the film, read the novel that the film's based on.. believe it or not...the Begbie character in the novel is actually even worse!!!... Also, I'm sure I read that the actor who played the poor guy who got glassed in this scene was a stunt man in several major Hollywood films.
Might be a controversial take, but I always thought that Robert Carlyle was not a very good casting choice for the character Begbie. I love him as an actor and he does what he can with the role and his charisma and presence makes him entertaining enough. But for me, it just doesn't work really. In the book, Begbie is some kind of a Skinhead, a muscular, heavily-tattoed huge guy who is physically very imposing and uses this to intimidate everyone around him. He is also a schoolmate of the others, and Carlyle is 10 years older than the others actors, and it shows.
Each to their own but myself and many others would disagree. What makes him perfect for this role is the fact he doesn’t have the appearance of a skinhead, tattooed hardman. People with that appearance generally feel the need to over compensate and appear tougher than they actually are. Proper nutters like begbie do not!
Absolutely spot on. I grew up in a rough nationalist enclave in Belfast. The toughest, most ruthless guys in the area carried themselves in a very unassuming manner and looked like your average guy. They didn't project a 'hard man' look, but if you got on the wrong side of one, you were gona find out fairly quickly that they would rip you to shreds. There were more than a few Begbie characters knocking about for sure
I always think the skin head kinds of want to fight begbie but at the same time is shitting himself ,with the half-hearted holding back bit . It reminded me of something in life .My morale compass said stop it help the innocent victim! My survival instincts said stay well away better the victim than me ! A situation that haunted me for years, i wish i had helped ,heartbeat going crazy, but rooted to the spot !
It might be that you experienced something called the Bystander Effect. You shouldn't blame yourself, it's very common. There's also the fact that you can't predict what might have happened if you had become involved. It might have made a bad situation even worse, not just for you.
I was a musician in Glasgow before during and after this film . The Skinhead was the singer in a Ska Band , his name is Andy . Hugh Reed from another Glasgow Band The Velvet Underpants played a minor role too . Glasgow had a great DIY Music scene back in those days but like most scenes they become saturated with Ego driven arses and inevitably fall apart. Andy is now CEO of a Vegan Food Wholesalers in the South of Italy . He is a decent bloke who I am glad to have been friends with .
I detested this film and all that it depicted and glorified then and I detest it now. I went to the movies and watched a few scenes and walked out long before the end....sickened that this type of movie was accepted as entertainment.
@@professionalghost138 If the majority of movies depict and glorify violence for pure entertainment value then I evidently hate the majority of movies. This said, Schindlers List contained some of the most troubling violence imaginable, but that was a historical and educational film that told a story that had to be told. I was upset and moved by this Spielberg masterpiece, but respected the intent and motivation behind making and releasing it. Big difference between that and say, Friday 13th or any one of the conveyor belt of sickening slasher movies released over the years.
I’m glad you paid attention to that, this whole time I always thought he threw alcohol in his eyes and that’s why he was bleeding. The acting was so amazing that i didn’t really get pulled into the actual physical confrontation
Robert Carlyle was so great in this movie , deserved to get an oscar for his iconic performance as main villain
He was a villain?
Franko was not a villain !Renton is.

This was an Oscar winner for sure, but there were another 2 scenes in the movie, which should have sealed it, seems there's no justice in the world...
Surely one of the most unpleasant characters to ever grace the silver screen. But what great acting. Dennis Hopper would be proud.
Yeah, except this guy is actually a great actor
Lol I've known too many people just like him.
They are sadistic

@fanatamon I don't blame you to be honest. They are like overgrown toddlers but with the ability to hospitalised you at a whim.
It can be exhausting
That lassie got glassed..and no cnt leaves here till we found oot what cnt dun it
One of best ever movie lines!
I love begbies war cry just after he says it. YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!
Him tossing that glass, my fav part. 😂😂😂
He plays such diverse roles, he is an extremely good actor, most impressed....

Never bring a knife to a pen fight..! 😂

Now get me a cigarette and go fetch your shine box😅
They would either be the best of friends or the worst of enemies lol
Actually imagined that myself
Robert Carlyle is class. Brilliant actor. ❤
This movie influenced me in two ways, one, never ever touch heroin, and two, never go to Scotland.
Like me with Scum, never set foot in a greenhouse since.
Hey! be nice, we're not all like that fictional tosser !
Sbatch and specially cousin Avi influenced me to never go to London.
Mistake 0: being born in the same universe as Begbie
Mistake 1: back-chatting Begbie
Mistake 2: turning your back on Begbie
This guy was Begbie, Hitler, and the cannibal of Ravenous. The supreme villain 😂
Seen this happen a number of times in Glasgow bars

No time for that at all

A classic film
Why didn't Obi Wan just use a mind trick? You don't want a death stick . . . . ' I dunnae want a f*ckin' death stick'.
Who’s the more foolish? They daft kun or thay daft kun that follows
Best comment ever.
Yes best reply this. Now for the worst...
Wjat he should have said was, "No Begbie...I have the higher ground."
Begbie and Jake the Muss would be besties
This is the best post I've ever seen on the Internet.
Superfight of the century
Right lol. A buff violent New Zealander and a skinny violent Scottish man with a fixed blade!
Begbie instigated the whole thing just to look for a fight.

The video cuts off but after he blows the cigarette smoke in Rentons face born slippy kicks it. Absolute perfection
Iconic scene.
Removed the best bit of the scene. When Born Slippy begins as the smoke hits Rentons face. Copyright?
Yep 💯
Right there. Thats why he betrayed Begbie. A real mate will never do this. From there on its everyone for themselves
Begbie meets Chigurgh on film one day, that I'd pay to watch.
Throw in Tuco from breaking bad and you got a date baby.
@@fanatamon And add Don Logan from the film "Sexy Beast"
@ For sure a good edition.
All due respect to Beggers he’s got nothing on Chigurh Daddy
I just immediately want to watch the whole film now
Never do a 180° on someone you just said fu off to lol! 😂
Got to love how it's Begbie who barges into the man, not the other way around. 😅

Movie had a profound influence on my life.
Carlyle was amazing as Begbie.
Never turn your back to a madman in the pub!
That the moment Rent boy decided to betrayed his "friends"

Sick boy is so much worse in those books.
@dubiouscaesar3709 He's absolutely disgusting in a funny way. A horrific example of a human being. Brilliant character.
My mate’s brother was like Begbie, he’s serving 20 years for slitting a man’s throat over a bicycle. The victim died.
Wholesome story
classic
The thing I've always wondered about this scene is who turns off the juke box as soon as Begbie glasses that guy?
Begbie has always been a role model😁👍
If he's your role model god help you
@@PeterOgden-h1k Begbie is a saint
Imagine Begbie and Nicky from Casino in the same Pub 😮

My God ...this guy can act lol 😂
Used to have a mate like Begbie, ruined everytime we went out or stayed in
Honestly it was for the best Renton leaving with the bag at the end. There would be absolutely no way begby would let them have it.
Big hoosty doing 90 in 90 as an extra with the green shirt.
Shortly thereafter, "The Full Monty" premieres. This is the same actor.
You FOOKIN EDITS xD
Не знал что Ильич играл в этом фильме
He hates Jam Tarts and he hates Dundee.
Really good actor 👍
Begbie was a genuine psycho, but there definitely has to be some kind of satisfaction when someone mouths off to you thinking you aint gonna do something, even shrug you off.. and then you do, and I mean REALLY do lol.
A top three all time
Believe it or not right now I’m reading ”Dead Men’s Trousers” by Maestro Irwin Welsh👌 EPIC❤️ Grand Finale.
Hes a good lad.
After that the match was mine 😂😂😂
That’s a pub, not a “bar” 🤦
Liar
What exactly is the main différence ? (I am from France)
begby went on to play hitla
Shoulda got Carlyle to play Obi Wan, not McGregor lol
Just another day in Scotland, nothing to be sean here at all move along lol.

I think Begbie ruined it. And they even mentioned their names in front of these people. 👮🚔
Seen and grown up with many of these loons .!

The other guy wouldn't have gone down from that little shove Begbie gave him. Ive seen better fighting technique on scooby doo.

Yea that'll happen in old films
