    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sean Astin (Twoflower) and Sir David Jason (Rincewind) are long-term Terry Pratchett fans. Jason named "The Colour of Magic" as his choice of favorite book of all time in the BBC's Big Read survey.
    • Goofs
      When Rincewind and Twoflower are tied back-to-back, Rincewind says that "if complete and utter chaos was lightning, then you [Twoflower] would be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armor shouting 'All gods are idiots'."; you can tell by the way his mouth moves, however, that he actually says 'All gods are bastards', which is consistent with how it is worded in the novel.
    • Quotes

      Death: I think I've just had another Near Rincewind Experience.

    • Crazy credits
      Mucked about by Terry Pratchett.
    • Connections
      Featured in Terry Pratchett's 'The Colour of Magic': The Making Of (2008)

    Not bad
    I quite liked this film thought I thought some elements of it would be lost on people who haven't read the book since there's only so much exposition you can fit in a film. One of my pet hates is when one of my favourite books gets turned in to a film where the director just can't resist changing every second character and adding entirely new scenes. This kept faithful to the books while still being enjoyable for those who haven't read the books. The version I got on DVD actually comes in two parts with the first part covering the first book - The colour of magic. The second part covers the second book in the series - The light fantastic. Not sure if that's the standard version everyone gets or if some only get part one.

    FAQ3

    • Wasn't Rincewind supposed to be younger?
    • Did Neil Gaiman provide the voice for the Alchemist?
