In the book all the women in the Wyrmberg were topless. Adaptational Modesty: Liessa the dragon rider has a leather halter top and shorts instead of just enough chainmail bits to not technically be naked.

(Vast amounts of pure gold do have that effect on people, though.) This means the Merchants form a guild and hire mercenaries specifically to protect Twoflower, while someone else hires the Assassins against him, all before he's left the bar he walked into as soon as he entered the city. Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The two barfights from the book are combined into one event at the beginning of the Ankh-Morpork adventure.He was already quite orangutan-like even before being transformed.

We get to see quite a bit more of the Librarian, pre-orangification.

While Trymon makes a few half-hearted attempts to bump off Weatherwax in the book and simply reaped the benefits of deaths he didn't actually cause, in the film he takes a far more active role in bumping off his superiors.

Trymon's role in the story was expanded significantly.

Thankfully the possibility of a large payment makes Broadman just correct him so he knows the V-sign with the middle and index fingers should be made with the palm facing the recipient. Accidental Unfortunate Gesture: Twoflower performs one in the bar.The movie focuses more on Unseen University in The Colour of Magic part than the original book, as well as having Vetinari's character more resemble his later interpretations. The two embark on a comedy of errors which leads them on one adventure after another (such as introducing the concept of insurance to a greedy public, falling afoul of the upwardly mobile Trymon of Unseen University, encountering imaginary dragons and octogenarian barbarians, and accidentally saving the world), merrily skewering fantasy cliches along the way. In the fantastical Discworld's premier Wretched Hive, Ankh-Morpork, the Disc's first tourist, the naive Twoflower, finds himself the target of much attention and confusion on arrival, soon hooking up with cowardly 'wizzard' Rincewind. The second Discworld adaption by Sky One, The Colour of Magic adapts the Discworld novel of the same name, as well as the immediate follow-up The Light Fantastic.
