Quotes:

  • 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: Okey-dokey. Here we go.
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: See ya 'round.
     
  • Paul Krendler: Jesus, Starling, what are you doing sitting in the dark?
    Clarice Starling: Thinkin' about cannibalism.
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: On a similar note I must confess to you, I'm giving very serious thought... to eating your wife.
     

Trivia:

  • 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.
     
  • In the opening credits of the film you can make out the face of Anthony Hopkins' character being formed by pigeons until the end of the credit when you can clearly see his face.
     
  • A robot modeled after Ray Liotta was used for some of the shots in the scene in which his cranium is removed.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Keep watching after the credits.
     

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.
