Question: Hannibal is shot in the back, then turned over as the villian plunges a knife into Hannibal's thigh three times, saying, "He's paralysed, he can't feel this." But Hannibal stands up and is perfectly fine. There's no damage from the bullet or the knife. How is this possible?

Chosen answer: Hannibal has the Japanese dagger on his back, and when he gets it out you can see there is a bullet hole on it indicating that the bullet hit the dagger. Grutas just pokes Hannibal in the leg with the knife, he doesn't actually stab him, it doesn't even tear his clothes.

Answer: As an aristocratic Lithuanian family living in a castle, the Lecters would probably not have still been living there by the time of the German occupation when the film starts. That's because the Soviet Union invaded and annexed the three Baltic states in 1940 (including Lithuania) and deported many so-called 'class enemies' to 'special settlements', many of which were in remote or internal regions of the USSR. The Lecters would have likely been gone by the time Nazi Germany invaded in 1941, let alone 1944 when they were retreating. Author Thomas Harris and the subsequent film screenwriters overlooked this obvious historical fact when writing the story.
