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: Is this coincidence, or are you back on the case? If so, goody-goody.
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: Okey-dokey. Here we go.
     
  • Hannibal Lecter: Bowels in or bowels out?
     
  • Clarice Starling: This is from the Guinness Book of World Records, congratulating me on being the female FBI Agent who has shot and killed the most people.
     

Trivia:

  • Krendler's lake house with the boat dock is the same house used in the What About Bob?
     
  • A poster can be seen near a newsstand for Gladiator, also directed by Ridley Scott.
     
  • The music during the opening credits is "Aria da Capo" from Bach's Goldberg Variations, a tape of which was playing while Lecter killed the two guards in Tennessee in The Silence of the Lambs.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Veteran character actor Frankie Faison has appeared in all four of the "Hannibal" movies. He had a small role in Manhunter and played Barney the asylum orderly in The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon.
     

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.
