Manhunter (1986)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Brian Cox, Joan Allen, Dennis Farina, William Petersen, Tom Noonan
Continuity mistake: When Dollarhyde is shot near the end of the film, he falls on the floor of the kitchen and a pool of blood spreads out from underneath him. In the next shot of his body on the floor, the pool of blood has disappeared.
Hannibal Lecktor: Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight, Will? It appears quite black.
Trivia: In the final confrontation between Dollarhyde and Graham, Tom Noonan had to lie in a pool of stage blood for several hours as the crew worked on other shots. After all this time, the stage blood dried into a thick, cement-like adhesive that all but fused Noonan to the carpet.
More questions & answers from Manhunter
Chosen answer: He wears the stocking over his face for two reasons: (a) to protect his identity (to make Lounds think he'll survive) and (b) remember that Francis believes he is an "ugly monster" so he is also wearing the stocking to defer judgement away from him.
