** Also Ninereeds the dragon, who is referred to as male in the book, but is pretty clearly female in the movie.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Rincewind makes one while he and Twoflower are disguised as Chelonauts (the line was adapted from one from ''The Science of Discworld'').
-->'''Rincewind''': Is there a toilet in this suit?
-->'''Twoflower''': I don't think so. Why?
-->'''Rincewind''': Because I think I need to ''[[Franchise/StarTrek boldly go]]''.

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

* AdaptationalModesty: Zig-zagged with Liessa the dragon rider rider. Though still a very cheesecakey character (she does backflips in a thong at one point), she has a leather halter top and shorts instead of just enough chainmail bits to not technically be naked. In the book all the women in the Wyrmberg were topless.



* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
** Instead of getting chomped by the Luggage, Galder Weatherwax is pushed to his death by Trymon.
** In the book, Greyhald Spold accidentally suffocates himself. In the film, Trymon purposefully cuts off his air supply.
** Trymon accidentally petrifies himself, presumably since having him turn into a chaotic shapeshifting monstrosity wasn't in the budget.



* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Vetinari, which pretty much comes out of nowhere.

* RaceLift: Agatean tourist Twoflower is played by Sean Astin, though to be fair the Agatean empire was not established as a Chinese/Japanese counterpart country until ''Literature/InterestingTimes'' and WordOfGod is Twoflower was meant as a parody of American/British tourists. However, when he speaks Agatean to Rincewind he still has a strong Chinese/Japanese accent.[[invoked]]

** Liessa is a straighter example, as she's now black, [[AmbiguouslyBrown or at least part black.]]

* PragmaticAdaptation: The Patrician has been switched to Havelock Vetinari, [[MagnificentBastard magnificent]][=/=]ManipulativeBastard of later Discworld books, rather than the obese hedonist originally depicted in the first book. (Technically, the patrician from the first book is Vetinari, by [[WordOfGod Word of PTerry]])
