Quotes:
|
-
Barney: Do you ever think he might come after you? You ever think about him at all?
Clarice Starling: Well, at least thirty seconds of everyday. I can't help it. He's always with me, like a bad habit.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Bowels in or bowels out?
-
Clarice Starling: I wasn't speaking to you, Mr. Krendler. When I speak to you, you'll know it because I'll look at you.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Is this coincidence, or are you back on the case? If so, goody-goody.
-
Hannibal Lecter: On a similar note I must confess to you, I'm giving very serious thought... to eating your wife.

Trivia:
|
- When Jodie Foster declined to reprise the role of Clarice Starling, Julianne Moore beat Gillian Anderson, Cate Blanchett and Helen Hunt for the role.
- The outdoor opera, Dante's La Vida Nova, which Dr. Lecter and Mr. Pazzi see in Florence, was especially composed for the movie. The composer Patrick Cassidy did not stop at the three minute part which as performed in the movie, but composed a whole opera.
- According to the film's cinematographer John Mathieson, three separate endings were filmed. The filmmakers, unsure as to whether the ending of Harris' novel would work for the movie, filmed three versions: one for Harris, one for producer Dino De Laurentiis, and one for Ridley Scott.
- Hannibal Lecter faces can be seen after the shooting in the fish market, on the close-up of the blood and glass-shards.
- A poster can be seen near a newsstand for Gladiator, also directed by Ridley Scott.

Credits Fun:
|
- After the credits, we hear Lecter say "Ta ta, H.", the closing line of the post-script in his letter to Clarice.
- As the opening credits end, Hannibal's face can be seen in the formation of pigeons on the ground before they fly away.
