Quotes:

  • 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.
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: Bowels in or bowels out?
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: See ya 'round.
     
  • Mason Verger: So what do ya think, Cordell? Does Lecter want to f**k 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: On a similar note I must confess to you, I'm giving very serious thought... to eating your wife.
     

Trivia:

  • According to the film's cinematographer John Mathieson, three separate endings were filmed. The filmmakers, unsure as to whether the ending of Harris' novel would work for the movie, filmed three versions: one for Harris, one for producer Dino De Laurentiis, and one for Ridley Scott.
     
  • Actual North Carolina State Troopers were used for the filming. They can be seen both in the search of the Verger home and driving their cruisers.
     
  • 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.
     
  • The 500lb man-eating hogs featured in Hannibal were selected by Ridley Scott from audition of over 6,000 other hogs. They were purchased from a farmer, Chaloem Pasak, who lives north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
     

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.
