Trivia:
|
- 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 asks Pazzi about being demoted from the Il Motro case. Il Motro was a serial killer about whom Hannibal gives clues to Pazzi. This was a subplot that was filmed but never used as it was thought to be too complicated.
- Several of the extras in the movie and some minor roles in the Florence scenes were recruited by Anthony Hopkins. He also helped to secure some locales for shooting.
- Ray Liotta actually ate dark chicken meat during the "brain scene".
- Some of the places where the move was filmed include places where filming hardly ever is allowed. Author Thomas Harris, while doing research for his book, got in contact with the heir of the Palazzo Capponi and for the movie this same heir allowed Ridley Scott to film the Caponni Library.

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.
