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.
     
  • Clarice Starling: This is from the Guinness Book of World Records, congratulating me on being the female FBI Agent who has shot and killed the most people.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Paul Krendler: Jesus, Starling, what are you doing sitting in the dark?
    Clarice Starling: Thinkin' about cannibalism.
     

Trivia:

  • Ray Liotta actually ate dark chicken meat during the "brain scene".
     
  • Giancarlo Giannini (Inspector Pazzi) was in the film Cervellini fritti impanati, which translates as "Fried Crumbed Brains".
     
  • The first shot of Florence after the movie starts is the same scene as depicted in the drawing on Hannibal's cell wall Hannibal describes to Clarice in Silence of the Lambs - the Duomo, as seen from the Belvedere, in Florence, Italy.
     
  • In Florence, where part of the movie was shot, it is possible to buy a sort of tourist guide called: "Hannibal Lecter. Visit the places of the city where he was."
     
  • Dr. Lecter's Florentine alias, Dr. Fell, is taken from a rhyming epigram by 17th century English satirist Thomas Brown: "I do not love thee, Dr. Fell; The reason why I cannot tell. But this alone I know full well: I do not love thee, Dr. Fell."
     

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.
