Quotes:
|
-
Hannibal Lecter: Is this coincidence, or are you back on the case? If so, goody-goody.
-
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.
-
Barney: Do you ever think he might come after you? You ever think about him at all?
Clarice Starling: Well, at least thirty seconds of everyday. I can't help it. He's always with me, like a bad habit.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- The outdoor opera, Dante's La Vida Nova, which Dr. Lecter and Mr. Pazzi see in Florence, was especially composed for the movie. The composer Patrick Cassidy did not stop at the three minute part which as performed in the movie, but composed a whole opera.
- Keep watching after the credits.
- When Jodie Foster declined to reprise the role of Clarice Starling, Julianne Moore beat Gillian Anderson, Cate Blanchett and Helen Hunt for the role.
- Ray Liotta actually ate dark chicken meat during the "brain 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.

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.
