Trivia:

In real life, Stephen Walters is claustrophobic.

Goofs:

Factual errors: If Hannibal had really been schooled in Japanese sword art, regardless of hand dominance, he'd have been holding the sword handle (tsuka) with his right hand on top and his left hand below. The Japanese always draw with their right hand.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Hannibal 8yrs: Hide quickly! Run away! Quick! This way! Quickly! Down to the lake.
[giggling, drawing on dock]
Hannibal 8yrs: M... for Mischa.

how could you like this????

i do not think i have seen such s**t in my whole life!!

please please please don't watch this! how this got a rating on IMDb at all is beyond me, let alone 6! this is utter filth, it means nothing! if you've seen the other Hannibal lecter films then you will no where i'm coming from, this isn't how you imagine lecter in his early days he's too much of a freak for a start. In all of the films to date you would have noticed how "with it" Hannibal is but young lecter is too weird, i don't like him where as you kinda grew fond of Hannibal portrayed by anthony hopkins, this isn't in anyway silence of the lambs, red dragon or Hannibal this is just poo!!! avoid at all costs!!! 1 out of 10
