FUN FACT: The producers were interested in Anthony Hopkins to play Hannibal in Manhunter; but he was busy on the stage in England, so they cast Brian Cox. Then, when The Silence of the Lambs was being made, they offered Cox the chance to reprise the role; however, he was busy on the stage in England, so they cast Hopkins. And here's the wild part: It was the same play, at the same theatre, both times.

[@casesoutherland4175]

No disrespect to Anthony Hopkins and his performance, but if Brian Cox actually was able to reprise his role, his performance would still work!

[@kaingates]

[@waxfigurefamous9189]

The podcast Blank Check described the three (good) performances of Hannibal this way: Brian Cox is playing Hannibal as a human being. Anthony Hopkins is playing Hannibal as a vampire. Mads Mikkelsen is playing Hannibal as the Devil. I think that’s the best description of the different performance styles in these movies

[@connorholt1414]

This comment is money

[@KingOfGaymes]

Hopkins does give vampire vibes tbh, creepy yet strangely charming

[@Raven-dv4vu]

That is perfect

[@BlackKnight66600]

Swap Hopkins and milkelsen and you’re right.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

I'm so glad James is finally covering the Hannibal Lecter movies. Manhunter is so underrated, William Petersen and Tom Noonan give such incredible performances and I love Brian Cox's Hannibal. Every actor who's potrayed him does a great job, but Cox gives him a reserved subtlety that makes him feel all the more like a reall psychopath.

[@watershipup7101]

100% agreed.

[@thepubknight6144]

I watched this before silence of the lambs and I love both films but this one seems like an actual real life type scenario you'd actually see Especially Cox's Hannibal

[@sophiex891]

the thing i love about cox’s hannibal is that he feels unnervingly real. as brilliant as hopkins is, i never feel like i could run into someone like his hannibal, but cox’s feels like a real life psychopath. for me, that’s what makes him so much scarier.

[@xmikerx666]

Cox played it far straighter and he's all the more frighteninng for it.

[@dillonkramer1575]

I’ve always found Hopkins to be a realistic Portrayal because I see his performance as less crazy and creepy and more extremely intelligent and disassociated. I love every portrayal except for Hannibal Rising mainly because I haven’t seen it, But Mikkelson, Hopkins, and Cox each bring a brilliant and different take from one another further breathing life into a wonderful character

[@JohnnySack16]

Very bad take. You should stick to reading magazines!

[@fangal12]

I see that with his portrayal in silence of the lambs but in Red Dragon in the opening scenes we see him socializing and being charming and darn near normal. From those scenes I think we get a "taste" of how daily Hannibal could have taken you in

[@sophiex891]

@@fangal12 i completely get it! i have yet to see red dragon so i was just basing it off his performance in silence of the lambs :)

[@invidatauro8922]

16:24 I like that scene especially. He's empathetic to what Francis went through as a child but acknowledges that those events in no way excuse what he is doing now and he must be stopped.

[@shizamza]

I’m actually stopping this video less than halfway through because this movie looks so damn good???? Gonna watch and report back before all is spoiled. I’ve somehow never even heard of this despite LOVING Silence of the Lambs. I’m excited

[@KkawaiiPotato]

So how was watching the film?

[@mynameisharry8739]

What really amazes me about Brian Cox's portrayal of Lecter, is that while he does act like a completely normal person, you can just tell that something's off. It feels like an act, like he's trying too hard to act normal. That's hard to pull off and I can't even tell how exacly he's doing it.

[@YouTubeaccoubr]

He's acting like he's a bad actor, which in turn makes him a great actor

[@LucyLioness100]

It’s a great performance & Cox gives it his best. I like the naturally sinister take from him as it’s quite accurate to most serial killers like Lecter

[@averyhughes2478]

I love when actors have to act like they’re acting 😂 but it makes total sense for this character!

[@disposable_income_andy]

to me its no different from good corrupt villains. the type where they might be millionaires or CEOs but you know they had to kill to get there and they're absolutely gonna do it again if anyone gets in their way, except the difference is Leckter isnt shying away that what he did is wrong

[@casesoutherland4175]

When I watched Manhunter for the first time, I instantly believed Cox's Lecter was a cannibalistic killer for that exact reason.

[@Rudy04]

How Mann shoots the Graham/Lecktor scene is amazing. Walls are identical, both shown through bars. Lecktor may have been caught but Graham is still in his own prison. Michael F'n Mann, man.

[@NickJagoQPR]

Yes - and I think that there is even a subtle shift from the first scene, where Lektor is clearly behind the bars, to their last interaction, where there are no bars for Lektor. Very clever stuff, such a good film

[@cassandrasmith5231]

Absolutely fair that Dead Meat can't cover the 2013 Hannibal TV series, but anyone in the comments who hasn't seen it needs to check it out. One of the best TV shows ever made, a wonderful take on the title character, and shockingly violent for a series that premiered on USA network TV.

I’m glad James called out the scene right after Graham meets with Lecktor and runs back and forth down the stairs. The first time I saw the film I fell in love with that shot and it’s always the first thing I think of when I hear this film mentioned. I’m not even sure why it spoke to me so much, but it’s a fantastic scene.

That would still be a lot of time for them to spend watching the show and the podcast doesn't bring in as much as kill counts. I love the show, but I doubt they'll be able to cover it.

[@ajbanky7870]

So many people are surprised when I tell them that Silence of the Lambs is a sequel. And I always found it so intriguing that this version of Will Graham isn’t entirely sane either. He’s terrified of his inner monster that dwells within him. He could become a terrible killer himself but uses his inner psycho to catch monsters like Lector and Dollarhide

[@SabrinaRina]

Said most of the guys I've dated about themselves. 😂 But seriously appreciate this observation.

[@icenine09]

But Silence of the Lambs isn't a sequel. It's a separate adaptation of a book in the same series. The books aren't even sequels, just different stories featuring the same character. The people you give misinformation to shouldn't believe you, because you are wrong.

[@giraffegaming8676]

Before I say what I’m about to say, I’m writing this as someone who’s read the books and only seen parts of the movies. I knew about Red Dragon before reading the series, but I thought that Silence of the Lambs came first and then Hannibal and then Red Dragon was released later as a sort of prequel. I didn’t know about Hannibal Rising so I assumed Red Dragon would be a prequel of Hannibal’s earlier crimes. My disappointment about being wrong was quickly trumped by my love of the book however.

[@RaiffWilliams]

@@icenine09what else would you call Silence of the Lambs in regards to Red Dragon then? It takes place after the events in Red Dragon, Will Graham isn’t in it but Jack Crawford, Dr Bloom, and Dr Lecter are. In the book Dr Lecter asks Clarice if she’s seen what Will Grahams face looks like after what Francis Dollarhyde did to him at the end of Red Dragon. Idk why you wouldn’t call it a sequel.

[@ajbanky7870]

@@icenine09 you don’t need to get so tensed up. I actually didn’t know that about the books since I haven’t had the pleasure of reading them yet. I can see where you’re coming from but I would consider it more of an interpretation matter. (As far as the movies go) Not all sequels have to be perfect direct continuations of what came before. Characters are recast all the time. Just look at the Evil Dead movies for example. You can view them as a continuing story leading into Ash Vs. Evil Dead or you can view them all as stand alone movies and neither would be entirely wrong. I consider it the same with these movies. And let’s save the term “misinformation” for politics please.

[@LucyLioness100]

Truly the underrated film of the bunch. Michael Mann’s direction is sublime, the cast is quite wonderful & that gritty realism that Mann is so well known for works perfectly for his take on the material. More people should check it out (thankfully it’s gotten more appreciation over the decades) even though “Silence of the Lambs” will always be my favorite in the series; first one of the films I ever saw so a bit unfair sure but it’s one of the best thrillers especially in the ‘90s

Michael Mann always uses pop music very well in his work. The sequence with "strong as i am" is great, and so is the scene with "in a gadda da vida".

[@johnmorgan1629]

One of the most famous lines in Silence of the Lambs (as shown here), is a mis-quote of the book and a joke, the real line is 'I ate his liver with fava beans and a big Amarone.' Firstly Amarone is thought to have been less well known as a wine, also it goes with liver whereas Chianti does not typically, secondly it is a medical joke, Lecter the medicine he would have likely been on MOAI's, three things you can't be on are, liver, beans, but especially alcohol, so he is telling Clarise he's not on his meds.

I had no idea Manhunter even existed. Silence of the Lambs was my dad’s Saturday morning movie of choice, and Red Dragon was the first movie I ever bootlegged because I was too young to rent or buy a rated R film.

I was literally so shocked that Logan Roy was stood in front of me that I just kept laughing at him jokes and only managed to squeak out a “Have a nice day.” To him and his wife. He was so lovely though and my co-worker (who didn’t know who he was) was shocked at how nice Brian was after I showed them some clips of him in Succession lmao.

My 80s video store co-workers and I were obsessed with this movie! You're right about the sound mix-- you can just listen to the audio and discover lots of new details/dialogue. I think Cox was just as creepy as Hopkins. "Would you like to leave me your home number?"

Dennis Farina has been a personal favorite since I saw him play Jimmy Cerano in Midnight Run back in the 80's. The guy just had THE BEST delivery of those lines.

This has always been my favorite verison of Will Graham even including the original version in the book. Will in other interpretations play as a follower of Crawford but here Peterson plays Will as someone who isn't afraid to get in someones face. That exchange between WIll and Crawford right before Will figure out how the killer is picking his victims is AMAZING! Crawford tell him its too late and Will snapping back about Crawford manipulating him with the photos to the look on Farina's Crawford face when the second label is pulled off. To this day I can't tell if Crawford is amazed by Will's brilliance or disturbed by Will's imagination in that moment. Favorite scene in the entire series.

[@RedDeadRogue]

One of the things I love about Brian Cox's portrayal of Lecter is that he's closer to a genuine psychopath, even if that isn't exactly a proper diagnosis anymore. The part that sticks out to me is when he perks up with genuine interest when Will says he read Lecter's (or "Lecktor's") article in a psychiatric journal. It demonstrates Lecter's inner vanity, his narcissism that most psychopathic or antisocial individuals display. They want to hear about themselves, know about themselves, be acknowledged by those around them, especially if it's for something that they feel deserves recognition and positive feedback. As soon as Will tries to take the focus off of Lecter himself and back to the case, Lecter becomes bored and begins toying with Will, always trying to get the focus back on him. I don't think this is so much as an obsession with Will in particular but the inner narcissism of a serial killer coming out in force now that he has someone to talk to again. Brilliant performance by Cox.

Mine too. While James says Hopkins hams it up in the first one, I’d politely disagree. He’s a caged tiger for most of the film and you can see the wheels clicking in his head trying to get into Clarice’s head, the way he aggravates Chilton and ultimately the famous escape from the cage after Clarice’s final visit and confession. He’s definitely sillier once you get to “Hannibal” and most of “Red Dragon” although he does kinda try in the latter film to be less goofy but Brett Ratner’s direction doesn’t always help with that and some of the writing too

[@DozenTragedies]

I think Brian Cox does the perfect portrayal of that character. Makes it make sense how Hannibal Lecktor made it so far along in society prior to getting caught.

[@Knightwing785]

Anytime I talk about Manhunter and Grissom from CSI everyone around me gives me a blank stare! Thanks Dead Meat Team for bringing my "Faniboy Lectern" of the whole Hannibal franchise to the Stream screens everywhere!!

[@thepubknight6144]

I fully get that same with X-Men fans with Brian Cox

[@user-gr1gn7mq2s]

YES KILL COUNT TRAILERS ARE BACKKKK

[@eses8959]

Ikr

[@darrelively]

It's been so long since we got a "on the next kill count" bit. I'm Happy😊

[@bigeugene]

This is possibly my favourite kill count of all time

[@jhon-a-thon2169]

I'm so glad you started this series. I'm currently in the process of reading all the books and watching the movies. I'm gonna have to start speed-reading though so that I can keep up.

[@XJIcequeen]

Woah! Silence of the Lambs next week! This is gonna be good

[@DieHard0]

I'm so glad that you covered this movie. It is still so underappreciated, considering nearly every crime-drama has been inspired by it, and you could say that it was the birth of Gil Grissom before CSI became a thing. Personally I think Cox's performance is the better version, because as you remarked, it is a lot more realistic and believable, which actually makes it much scarier. I still rate this movie extremely high on my list and it is great to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

[@Ferchichocomenta]

Omg, I got re-focused on the Hannibal series last year, also watched all the movies and just finished reading Red Dragon last week! Thank you, James, I'm rewatching the movie now and after that the Kill Count 🖤

[@talknerdy2me926]

I’m so happy Dr Hannibal is finally on the count! He’s my favorite horror villain ever ❤ such good stories and even sicker makeup! ❤

[@graciemack2002]

YYOOOO, that new Dead Meat logo is sick!! Love the subtle change yet still honoring the predecessor!

[@wpgme85]

I friggin love this movie. It is so good and so criminally overlooked. Thank you so much for covering it. :)

[@rinkooo6006]

yessss I’ve missed the “on the next kill count” segments, so glad they’re back!!

[@jonnywose2528]

The 'realisation' scene is one of the greatest scenes of all time IMHO

[@Animeguy300]

That was an incredible award show you guys have

[@haigboyajian3293]

Hey nice to see the return of Kill Count trailers, they do a great job of hyping up the next week's movie and I've been missing them. Looking forwards to the rest of the Hannibal series

[@jessisamess05]

Love to see you’re finally covering the Hannibal films! I’ve waited for this for a long time and while I’m disappointed you aren’t doing the show (though I completley understand why) I’m still very excited to see this series unfold!!

[@candyguardmikan]

Can't wait for the kill count of Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising!!!

[@SarahLuv10]

We’ll go beast….WE’LL GO FULL FUCKING BEAST - Hannibal Lector Roy 😂

[@thepubknight6144]

His speech on killing and God was chilling He was a great Hannibal

[@xxkori123xx]

I'm so glad you're finally covering this series. It's my favorite after Scream and I was so bummed when it kept getting pushed back. Can't wait to hear more about the BTS of everything.

[@pentagraham5842]

I'm so glad that they brought back the trailers telling us what to expect next week. Sometimes I forget what it is or just plain don't know so I always felt they were a really nice addition to the end that helped hype the audience up for next week's count.

[@ZacharyResky]

I’m so happy that this series is finally getting covered! Also cool to see the return of the kill count trailers, the one for Silence of the Lambs is probably the best one yet!

[@cjmirch4871]

This film’s soundtrack is amazing. My personal favorite was “Heartbeat”. That was on constant rotation for months after watching this film.

[@eyespy3001]

For me it was _Coelecanth_ by Shrieckback. I still have the original vinyl that my father bought when it was released.

[@hidebehindstudios]

It’s gotta be Evaporation for me

[@night2fransic]

No ones's talking about the return of "The Next Kill Count", it finally returned after a year.

[@aprilharvey]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Still have it on VHS. The acting is amazing and Cox does an incredibly job of expressing evil.

[@savannadawn28]

Saw this video uploaded and luckily had time to check out Manhunter so I can watch and support the kill count & channel :) can’t wait to rewatch The Silence of the Lambs for next week!! Keep up the great work James, Chelsea, & Dead Meat team ❤️

[@noahthompson5030]

I enjoy watching kill counts with some fava beans and a nice cianti

[@cokeman7201]

The new logo in the corner is sick props to the designer

[@m.cullinane6692]

You have no idea how excited I’ve been for this series!! Loving it James :))

[@cameronellington9149]

Loved the books and some of the movies. So excited to see James cover the series.
