Quotes:
|
-
Murray: Is it true what they're sayin', he's some kinda vampire?
Clarice Starling: They don't have a name for what he is.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Now then, tell me. What did Miggs say to you? Multiple Miggs in the next cell. He hissed at you. What did he say?
Clarice Starling: He said, "I can smell your c**t."
Hannibal Lecter: I see. I myself cannot. You use Evian skin cream, and sometimes your wear L'Air du Temps, but not today.
-
Hannibal Lecter: A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
-
Jack Crawford: Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head.
-
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?

Trivia:
|
- After the shootout with Gumb, Starling has partially burned gunpowder buried in the skin on the side of her face, the result of a near-miss. One name for this type of injury is "coal miner's tattoo" - a clever reference to the character's background.
- Vetern filmmaker and president of New World Pictures, Roger Corman makes a cameo as the FBI Director.
- 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.
- The third EMS attendant treating "Sgt. Pembrie" is Jeff Busch, a paramedic in real life and owner of an emergency vehicle company in Pittsburgh that detailed all of the emergency vehicles for the film.
- 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.
