Revealing mistakes: When Mason Verger falls into the pit, the pigs do not come to him immediately. In an attempt to draw their attention, the trainers use a clearly visible broom handle, tapping it against the floor in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

Quotes:

[apparently about to cut Starling's hand off with a cleaver]
Hannibal Lecter: This is really gonna hurt.

Hannibals Return

This was a good sequel - Hannibal returning brought me goosebumps once again with him out of jail at large..Thats bloody fun to me having a serial killer missing for 10 years and returns caused by an old patient of his wants revenge.

However - He gets Clarice involved the dangerous game where she has been looking for him for a long time since after shooting Buffalo Bill. One thing is I wasn't too sure about Moore as Clarice - She was good, but we all like the same actress to play the same person in the story's.

Anyway - Gary Oldman as the villain was superb..evil, twisted and absolute rich..

Good Sequel Indeed!! "Your brother smells just as bad as you do" - Hannibal Lector
