Quotes:
|
-
Hannibal Lecter: Okey-dokey. Here we go.
-
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.
-
Mason Verger: So what do ya think, Cordell? Does Lecter want to fuck her or kill her or eat her alive?
Cordell Doemling: Probably all three, though I wouldn't want to predict in what order.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Is this coincidence, or are you back on the case? If so, goody-goody.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- Hannibal Lecter faces can be seen after the shooting in the fish market, on the close-up of the blood and glass-shards.
- The piano music Anthony Hopkins plays is one of his own compositions.
- The "Top Ten Most Wanted List" from the FBI's website shows Hannibal at number one. All the other people shown were from the real list.
- During the brain-eating sequence there is a small boar's-head trophy mounted on the wall just above and behind Ray Liota; another reference to the pig massacre scene.
- David Mamet's adaptation of the novel was changed entirely by Steven Zaillian. But Mamet still retained a co-writer credit, in accordance with WGA regulations.

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.
