** There was also some displeasure over the casting of American actor Sean Astin as Twoflower, which was viewed by some as an unnecessary attempt to attract more American viewers at the expense of some of the original book's very British-y humour, and by others as whitewashing, since the books had firmly established that Twoflower is the Disc's equivalent of Japanese. However, Terry Pratchett defended the decision by pointing out that Twoflower was a blend of Japanese, American, and British tourist stereotypes in his first couple of appearances. And, since every [[Creator/{{Sky}} Sky One]] ''Discworld'' adaptation has re-cast every character anyway, presumably if ''Interesting Times'' does get made they'll cast actors of Japanese/Chinese descent as Agateans when it becomes relevant to the plot.

** The film adaptation also has a drawn out scene that copies the BolivianArmyEnding of ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid'', with Rincewind grabbing a pair of twigs that are vaguely pistol-shaped, and we get a variation of the same dialogue just before they charge out and... "shoot" at the wizards surrounding them in slow motion.

** The sheer number of adventurers reported to be competing for quests takes on a more melancholy note in-Verse, for those who've also read "Troll Bridge" or ''Literature/TheLastHero'', which make it clear that such heroes are rapidly exterminating the Disc's monsters and thereby putting themselves out of business.
