    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The part of Mason Verger was originally offered to Christopher Reeve, based on his work as a wheelchair-bound police officer in Above Suspicion (1995), which was released six days before the horse riding accident that left Reeve paralyzed for real. Not having read the novel, Reeve showed initial interest in the role, but ultimately declined upon realizing that Verger was a quadriplegic, facially-disfigured child rapist. Had Reeve taken the part, it would've been his last film appearance before his death in 2004.
    • Goofs
      (at around 35 mins) When Lecter writes his first letter to Clarice, he licks the envelope to seal it. When we see it on her desk before she opens it, the only thing keeping it shut is the seal wax in the center. however, Lecter licks the envelope to provide DNA to verify it is not a fake, as he is "re-emerging" from hiding.
    • Quotes
      • Hannibal Lecter: People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.
    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, we hear Lecter say "Ta ta, H.", the closing line of the post-script in his letter to Clarice.
    • Alternate versions
      The Indian theatrical version was cut by the CBFC to mute the word 'pussy' from the dialogue spoken by Krendler, the word 'fucking' spoken by Pazzi, the word 'fuck' and 'cocksucker' spoken by Mason, the visuals of blood falling on the ground, blood spurting out of the throat of a dead man, and the close visuals of a pig putting Mason's face into the mouth to achieve an 'A' (adults) rating. It remained cut since.
