Continuity mistake: When Clarice is opening the letter written to her by Hannibal, it is sealed with wax, and not glued down in any way. While she's reading it, Hannibal is shown licking an envelope. (00:32:05)

This is the second film in the modern franchise wherein the creepy, cannibalistic killer is pursued by various people yet still manages to kill and torture his enemies while continuing his weird seduction of Clarice Starling, now played by Julianne Moore. Ray Liotta, Gary Oldman and others fill in the ranks of people out to get Hannibal Lector, with Oldman as a fellow psycho who's missing most of his face and longing for revenge. A decent follow-up to the movie.

Hannibal Lecter: Tell me Clarice, would you ever say to me "Stop. If you loved me, you'd stop"?
Clarice Starling: Not in a thousand years.
Hannibal Lecter: "Not in a thousand years " That's my girl.
Trivia: In the scene where the pickpocket is trying to get Hannibal's fingerprint on his bracelet, the cinema in the background has a poster for Gladiator - also directed by Ridley Scott.
Question: Why did Paul Krendler dislike Clarice so much, and why did he ruin her career?
Answer: In the book it says that Clarice had caught Buffalo Bill before he could. It said also that is why he hated her early in the book.
Answer: Starling says to Krendler "Paul, what is it with you? I told you to go home to your wife, that was wrong?", implying that he had made a pass at her and she had rejected him. He replies that it was a long time ago, and that he didn't hold it against her, but combined with Mason Verger's bribe this was most likely the cause of his antagonism towards Starling.
