Trivia:
|
- At least six directors have roles in this film: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Kasi Lemmons, Roger Corman, Dan Butler (who directed episodes of "Frasier"), and a cameo by George A. Romero.
- A 'Bon Appetit' magazine can be seen in Hannibal Lecter's temporary cell.
- Brooke Smith (Catherine Martin) and Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) were actually very close on the set, making Jodie Foster refer to Brooke as "Patty Hearst" (meaning a woman that is actually close with her kidnapper).
- A large part of the shoot took place in Pittsburgh. The city was chosen for its variety of landscapes and architecture, which was necessary to portray various parts of the country. All the film's interiors were constructed and shot in an abandoned Pittsburgh factory.
- Only the third movie to win all five major Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. The others were Frank Capra's It Happened One Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
