I thought this adaption nicely captured Terry Pratchett's Discworld even if the relatively low budget does show at times. I have read a few Discworld novels but not 'The Colour of Magic' or 'The Light Fantastic' on which this is based. While all this is going on we see the politics of the Unseen University at work as the devious wizard Ymper Trymon murders his way to the top then seeks the ultimate power of learning the eight powerful spells in the 'Octavo' there is just one problem one of the spells is in the head of Rincewind.
It isn't long before the two of them get involved in a series of adventures that will lead them to have encounters with dragons, a troll and even discover what is over the edge of the disc amongst other things. Rincewind agrees to show Twoflower the sites but does a runner after being paid however a few words from the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork explaining that he is to ensure Twoflower has a good time and returns to his homeland with a good impression of the city he returns.
The pair meet the Broken Drum tavern where Twoflower's large trunk full of gold coins has attracted more than a little attention. This Discworld story follows Rincewind, a student wizard who is expelled from the Unseen University for failing to reach the first level of wizardry after forty years of study, and Twoflower, the Discworld's first tourist. Reviewed by Tweekums 7 / 10 An enjoyable Discworld story Never rains, eh?The film of The Colour of Magic combines Terry Pratchett's best-selling fantasy novels The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic.Oh, and a well-known author appears in a cameo role. And secondly, the world is coming to an end.
Rincewind has two problems: firstly, as an expert coward, he doesn't feel he's the best person to guard a naive - and extremely rich, by local standards - tourist through one of the roughest cities in the multiverse. Rincewind (David Jason), an inept ex-student wizard is given the task of guiding Twoflower (Sean Astin) through the city state of Ankh Morpork. The Discworld - a magical realm quite unlike, yet hauntingly familiar to, ours - has got it's first tourist.
