Goofs
When we are first allowed to see Dolarhyde's scrapbook, various newspaper clippings are surrounded by Dolarhyde's marginalia. On one page of a printed article, the reporter sought to describe Lector's cannibalism, especially in reference to serving human remains to guests; in that article, the text reads that he cut "mussel" from the bone, a spelling error no respectable newspaper would allow.Later, when we see the "Red Dragon" illustration within a book, the blurb on the opposite page tells what museum is archiving it, but refers to the series as illustrations of "Revelations" (the book in the Bible has a singular title), an error a prestigious museum would not let pass.

Q
What are s'mores?
A
An old camping favorite, s'mores are "sandwiches" made from graham crackers, chocolate bars, and toasted marshmallows. Using the graham crackers as "bread", fill with a layer of thin chocolate, e.g., Hershey-type. Place a hot, freshly-toasted marshmellow on top of the chocolate, and add a graham cracker to the top. The hot marshmellow will cause the chocolate to melt.
Q
Why does Dr. Chilton call Hannibal Lecter a 'most disappointing research subject'? In 'Silence of the Lambs', he refers to Lecter as their 'most prized asset'.
A
In Red Dragon, Lecter proved to be a disappointing research object since he had refused to participate in any test during the first years of his incarcaration; as shown, he folds any questionnaire into origami. This made it impossible to accurately classify Lecter's mental condition, or give any more insight in his thought processes. However, Chilton probably had a change of mind after being able to observe Hannibal during his interactions with Will Graham in Red Dragon. Lecter was found to be silently resentful to Graham, even though there seemed to be an amount of respect as well; Lecter's secret communication with another killer showed that despite his high intelligence, Lecter is not above feelings of pride (he kept the Tooth Fairy's letter of admiration) and desire for revenge. Lecter is also seen enjoying his little victories over Chilton (gloating over the rejection of his latest submission, making a toast to him from his cell). All in all, the conversations with Graham have probably given more insight into Lecter's psyche than all the years of observation before. In the beginning of Silence of the Lambs, Chilton still mentions that Lecter is far too sophisticated for normal study through standard tests, but does call him 'a monster, a pure psychopath', implying that they have been able to learn more about him over the years.
Q
How many of the characters from the first two movies return for "Red Dragon"?
A
Four characters and three actors are returning.Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal Lecter in all three movies, but he does not return in Hannibal Rising, as this fourth movie concerns Hannibal's childhood and how he became a cannibalistic serial killer. Anthony Heald as Dr Frederick Chilton from The Silence of the Lambs also returns in that role (he did not appear in Hannibal). Barney Matthews (Frankie Faison) has appeared in all three movies (he also appeared in Manhunter but in a different role). Scott Glenn's role as Jack Crawford in Silence is played by Harvey Keitel. The character of Clarice Starling does not appear (although she is briefly referred to at the end).
