Quotes:
|
-
Hannibal Lecter: I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye.
-
Hannibal Lecter: You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desparately to shed? Pure West Virginia. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars...while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.
Clarice Starling: You see a lot, Doctor.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Amputate a man's leg and he can still feel it tickling. Tell me mum, when your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you?
-
Hannibal Lecter: Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center. Sounds charming.
Clarice Starling: That's only part of the island. There's a very, very nice beach. Terns nest there. There's beautiful...
Hannibal Lecter: [cuts her off] Terns? If I help you, Clarice, it will be "turns" for us too. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no? [pause] Yes or no, Clarice? Poor little Catherine is waiting.
Clarice Starling: Go, doctor.
-
Jack Crawford: Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head.

Trivia:
|
- A 'Bon Appetit' magazine can be seen in Hannibal Lecter's temporary cell.
- Dino De Laurentiis, who had produced Manhunter, passed on Silence of the Lambs because Manhunter had flopped. He gave the rights away free to Orion Pictures.
- The events in this film occur after the events in Manhunter. Although there are several characters common to both films, there are only two actors who appear in both movies. Ironically, both actors play different characters in both movies. Frankie Faison plays Lt Fisk in Manhunter and Barney in Silence of the Lambs, and Dan Butler plays an FBI fingerprint expert in Manhunter and an entomologist in Silence of the Lambs.
- 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.
- Brooke Smith gained 25 pounds for her role as Catherine Martin.
