Visible crew/equipment: Near the climax, Will Graham is sneaking through the woods, approaching Dollarhyde's house. In one shot, Graham steps more carefully and glances down; the camera is in front of him moving as he's moving. And for a couple of seconds, the camera dolly tracks are visible behind him, just to his left.
Manhunter (1986)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Michael Mann
Starring: Brian Cox, Joan Allen, Dennis Farina, William Petersen, Tom Noonan
Continuity mistake: When William Petersen is talking to his kid in the supermarket, the cereal boxes behind him on the shelves change between two shots. The items behind Kevin also change during the scene. (01:09:05 - 01:10:20)
Hannibal Lecktor: If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.
Trivia: Because his role was so emotionally exhausting, William Petersen did everything he could to rid himself of the Will Graham character after principal photography was completed. This included shaving off his beard, and cutting his hair and dyeing it blonde.
Question: When Jack Crawford is explaining to his team about the Tooth Fairy's note to Lecktor, there is, very prominently in the foreground, what looks like a paperweight on his desk. What exactly is it, and why is it so important as to be in the foreground? (00:43:20)
Chosen answer: It's the plaster cast of the Tooth Fairy's teeth made from the bite impressions he left on past victims.
