A film makes many departures from either a novel, including a as a result.

In a novel, the "Weirding Way", properly termed "prana-bindu training", occurs as very-martial art form that allows an expert prefer Paul Atreides to move by owning lightning speed. A Lynch picture show replaces this by owning "weirding modules" (fundamentally, transonic guns) that amplify a user's call into the destructive inflict. This vary literalizes a moment in the novel where Paul says his title has turn into the demise-prayer because the Fremen shout "Muad'dib!" prior to killing an opponent. In a motion-picture show, a Fremen actually kill their enemies by shouting his title, leading Paul to produce the remark "my name has become a killing word". A character of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is diminished and then that he contributes less to the story, possibly in the climactic scene. In the novel, Paul & Feyd wear the striking knife-fight. In the picture show, there exists little scrap in the climax & Feyd is overcome pleasantly quickly. A moving-picture show stops using Paul dominating rain to fall in Arrakis. In the novel, this is accomplished across years of terraforming, and it doesn't rain for decades when Paul ascends a potty. This is because there exists nothing mysterious just about Paul's powers; he is a product of transmissible breeding & step by step instructiin, & may not even command the sky to rain on Sand dune. In a novel, the final line, spoken by Jessica to Chani, is "Those of us who bear the name of concubine, history will remember as wives" (around information to Paul's marriage to & refusal of Irulan). In a picture, the final line (spoken by Alia) is "He is the Kwisatz Haderach!".
