The "Choose Life" monologue was originally planned for the middle of the film. Danny Boyle and his writer John Hodge were struggling to find a suitable opening when they hit on the idea of moving the monologue to the beginning, creating an iconic moment by a simple act. In T2 Trainspotting (2017) it's revealed by Renton (Ewan McGregor) to Veronika (Anjela Nedyalkova) that "Choose Life" was part of a campaign against the drugs in the 80s, and that he and his friends played with the title adding things, making a speech to remember the opening of this movie. "Choose Life" was prominently featured in the music video Wham!: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (1984), where it was written on the shirt of George Michael.
