Quotes:
|
-
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.
-
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: On a similar note I must confess to you, I'm giving very serious thought... to eating your wife.
-
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: Bowels in or bowels out?

Trivia:
|
- During the brain-eating sequence there is a small boar's-head trophy mounted on the wall just above and behind Ray Liota; another reference to the pig massacre scene.
- 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.
- Dr. Lecter's Florentine alias, Dr. Fell, is taken from a rhyming epigram by 17th century English satirist Thomas Brown: "I do not love thee, Dr. Fell; The reason why I cannot tell. But this alone I know full well: I do not love thee, Dr. Fell."
- One character eats an orange just before going to confront Hannibal. This could be a tribute to The Godfather where everyone who dies is accompanied by an orange in the scene.
- Krendler's lake house with the boat dock is the same house used in the What About Bob?

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.
