 Danny Boyle (qv) had his actors prepare by making them watch older  movies about rebellious youths like _Hustler, The (1961)_ (qv),  _Exorcist, The (1973)_ (qv) and _Clockwork Orange, A (1971)_ (qv).  The latter film is directly homaged in the scene set in the Volcano  nightclub, which is very similar to that set in the Milk Bar in  Kubricks film. Indeed, the track playing in the Volcano club is by  Heaven 17 who took their name from  _Clockwork Orange, A (1971)_ (qv).
