The trip to the temple of Bel-Shamharoth is left out entirely, though Twoflower does keep wanting to go there. Particularly the Colour of Magic episode cuts a lot of the excess plot lines and asides (and several characters) in order to give more focus to the Krullians and the wizards at Unseen University.

Adaptation Distillation: Compared to the original books, the story has been streamlined and given more focus.He also has a little drawing in his tourist book showing the palm-forward sign meaning 'Two', and the palm-back sign meaning Off!' 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.
