Can't we just agree Ralph Fiennes is an excellent actor when he gets to portray complex villans like Dollarhyde, Voldemort or even Chef Slowik. The guy is a national treasure of acting.

[@blakeharris58]

I’m sure British people agree.

He’s also great as a romantic lead or straightforward leading man. Hell, it’s really funny to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel after this movie, since it’s also about Edward Norton chasing Ralph, but in the most Wes Anderson movie ever

[@TishaC89]

Fun Fact: Michael Jackson visited the set because he liked the Hannibal films. Michael was a horror movie fan. Which is why he had John Landis, the director of An American Werewolf in London, direct his Thriller video

[@robertpeacock894]

He didn’t go for the Ratner Diddy after party events?

[@basementdwellercosplay]

I saw an interview with John Landis and he said Micheal was still a kid and hardly knew horror films like Dracula or the Wolfman. Something about your fact didn't add up

[@willdiesel8431]

​@@basementdwellercosplayyou can be a fan of a genre without being a rabid fanatic of all things horror-related. Landis probably quizzed him on some really obscure references and when he didn't get the answers he saw as acceptable he deemed Michael as No True Scotsman.

[@baydiac]

​@@basementdwellercosplayIf you approach an average self-proclaimed horror movie fan and ask if they've seen Dracula or the Wolfman, the answer will be no. I'm not totally surprised by this. Those movies have a totally different vibe to An American Werewolf in London, and to put it bluntly are a little boring for someone Michael's age at the time.

What makes Red Dragon different from Manhunter is that it focuses more on Dollarhyde than Graham and is closer to the book. Perhaps it's a better adaptation than movie.

[@lucashenderson2775]

So it's similar to The Shining where Kubrick made the better movie overall but it wasn't a good adaptation while the 90s miniseries was the better adaptation but not as good overall.

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

Yeah it’s one of the few things this film did better I thought plus his relationship with Rita and I thought the final act was better.

[@Wolfbane382]

The fact that Will's shirt was soaked after meeting with Hannble for the first time after what happened; shows just how terrified Will was. But also how he managed to maintain control so Hannble wouldn't pick up on his fear.

[@pat2rome]

Very curious how you managed to misspell his name so badly when it was literally the title of the movie before this 😂

[@Wolfbane382]

Spelling has never been my strong point thanks to being dyslexic.

[@driafibromyalgiafighter9342]

He probably smelled his body odor and knew he was terrified....or just smelled his fear..ya know...the guy might be a lil psychic 😂😂😂😂

[@Tomboyy9818]

Hannibal**

[@stephengrigg5988]

And that was Ed Norton's doing. Brett Ratner wanted him to jump back and show visible fear to Hannibal, and Ed basically said that was a stupid thing his character wouldn't do, so they went with the sweat

[@coolnerdlll6053]

I think this movie gets a lot of unnecessary hate because of the comparison to Manhunter. As its own thing, I think it's still a really well made and entertaining movie. And Ralph Fiennes is always awesome.

[@claytonrios1]

I personally prefer Fiennes as the Tooth Fairy but maybe it's because he's the version of Francis Dolarhyde that I feel more sorry for as opposed to Tom Noonan who I'm more scared of.

[@damianoakes2592]

I agree with that, though I think Richard Armitage gave us the best of both on the TV show. All three are great though.

[@multitudeofidols]

I actually prefer Noonan. His Dolarhyde felt more human and vulnerable when around Reba and without the overt Great Red Dragon references, his monstrous side felt less theatrical and more grounded in someone desperate to feel power.

[@genghiscan2918]

Noonan was also excellent in his episode of the x files

[@stephengrigg5988]

The way he clutches Wills son in an attempt to protect him when will is insulting him is kinda heartbreaking

[@zer0_iz_d34d]

Ralph Fiennes was better as Dolarhyde and Anthony Hopkins was better as Hannibal but William Petersen was better as Will Graham

[@DrThrustbone]

5:55 listened to “silence” on audiobook and in that Benjamin Raspail was a musician, dated Buffalo Bill, left Bill for a guy named Klaus, Bill kills Klaus and puts his head in a jar, and Hannibal kills Raspail and eats him. So this actually in line with the book lore.

[@DrThrustbone]

Also Raspail knew Bill had already killed a few homeless people and Klaus, and instead of going to the police he treated it like an inconvenience and even told Hannibal all this in therapy, which is why Lecter knew who Bill was when Clarice started questioning him.

[@Skygirl-rp4ob]

[@CollieTheViking]

Dang James, did you time this Kill Count release perfectly with the P. Diddy raids just for the mention at 13:10? Incredible. and it confirms how much of a creep the director is.

[@multitudeofidols]

When he brought up his association with Diddy, I thought "That aged well."

[@TheSilentBattle]

Ratner ran with Russel Simmons who has his own charges against him, hence the Run Simmons cameo. We know the rumors about Michael and now the truth about Diddler. Bird who r*** together make dirty money together…

[@camthehorrorfan]

The fact that the director hung out with both Michael Jackson AND P. Diddy before they were all outed as creeps is both crazy and unsurprising to me

[@ihatethisuser1]

I was thinking the same thing! It's crazy to see how well connected they all are with each other, also disappointed to hear he pulled a woody Allen and ran to another country to avoid charges.

[@Nardril]

Rattner and his friends sure aged like milk. Oh boy

[@TheMess1998]

Scott Glenn refused to reprise his Silence of The Lambs role of FBI agent Jack Crawford in the subsequent movies because the research he conducted for the original film disturbed him so much. It still apparently causes him anxiety to this day.

[@aaroncook2052]

[@yobro6053]

[@Cat-uo4vw]

Red Dragon is like a true crime podcast, focusing on the grisliness and violence of the crimes and who the killer was and less on the actual victims affected by it. As evidenced by the crime scene photos we didn’t get many glimpses of in the first film and a focus on the abuse Dolarhyde went through under his Grandmother. Manhunter is more like the police procedurals of the time and focuses on how the crime affects the detectives and victims and generally more sympathetic to them than the killer. While they follow the same plot lines, it’s interesting to see how different they are despite that.

[@amandafrazier9724]

This one is several paces behind Silence for me; I LOATHE Hannibal( the movie, not the show). I thought the story was weak, but recasting Clarice was sacrilege -- particularly with Julianne Moore, who's...y'know, fine...but is absolutely no Jodie Foster.

[@myladynaynay]

Same. I knew OF "Silence of The Lambs", but didn't know anything about it nor had I seen it before. Wasn't until I saw my parents watching this movie one night and I decided to join them that I was introduced to Hannibal Lector :)

[@rfcfanj7911]

It better then Hannibal and Hannibal rising

[@jameslough6329]

Red Dragon is WAY better than both the 2001 Hannibal movie and Hannibal Rising. James just likes the Hannibal movie cause he's into super cheesy horror movies. If you are a fan of the serious styles of the prior films (and Red Dragon) then you'll most likely consider Hannibal to be awful.

Honestly after watching Red Dragon, Manhunter, and the NBC series I think the NBC series is my favorite version of Red Dragon and I think it's solely due to having the previous 2.5 seasons of history between all the characters involved. Not only that, but Mads Mikselsen as a much more subdued version of Hannibal, even when he's incarcerated which makes him so much more terrifying.

I hope at some point we get an adaptation where Dolarhyde more physically resembles his book counterpart, who was supposed to be an absolute unit in bodybuilder shape. Just the idea of someone who's both physically strong and massive and out of his mind bonkers is something I think would play really well on the screen.

Graham should be this hollow, haunted character. It's why Dancy and Petersen are so amazing at playing him. If you can't see them awkwardly stimming in the corner of a room they aren't Graham. I know in eight years time where Warner Brothers has fully bought out the rights to Dead Meat and production of the show gets outsourced to the entire population of a small city, the show-count will be amazing.

@@Sarahonwheels I often felt like if someone had somehow been in a coma since before Silence and woke up to watch Hannibal, they’d spend those first couple of episodes thinking that he was handsome, cultured man and be shocked when it came out who he was. Even knowing who he was, I still spent a lot of the show going “well he’d be a cool guy to have as a friend, as long as I wasn’t rude and didn’t really eat around him” and that’s all down to Mikkelsen.

I know doing a kill count on the Hannibal series will be A LOT to ask but if you could do a Podcast talking about it? That would be amazing because I would love to hear yours and Chelsea's thoughts on it. I love the series, which is one of my favorites of all time time.

[@ianhubbard4954]

It's funny, really, as there is literally nothing on TV that I watch, but when I see James and the team have done an upload, I get all excited

[@calebgusto12]

the rivalry between james and puppet james is something i didnt know i needed 😂

[@frogz8317]

Still think the Show is my favorite version of these books. The Casting for Will, Hannibal and Jack are 10/10 still crushed it got cancelled for “too high of production” so we never got their version of Silence of the Lambs we got all books beside that one which really sucks. So I usually watch the show then silence even if there are continuity errors.

Genius add-on at the end. I think people will happily set aside the time to watch these movies to see your take. Love the channel, much love ❤

[@lildawfinn5517]

Your kill graphics are so creative now James, the little family photo graphic was such a clean detail 👌

[@Silvia_Arienti]

I noticed that the playlist "ALL Kill Counts (Oldest First)" is missing the kill counts for Never Hike Alone 2, Barbarian, Saw X, The Mean One, Treevenge, Ring [Ringu], Orphan: First Kill, and The Menu. Also, some of those videos are not in the correct order, so you should activate the "date published (oldest)" option for the playlist.

[@4amlibra]

It would be date published; added is when you put them into the playlist, which is probably the order they’re in now.

[@Silvia_Arienti]

Manhunter is one of the most visually stunning films ever. It is most definitely a overlooked masterpiece.

[@Lethalport1515]

I do love an unexpected Frank-N-Furter! Made me laugh out loud at 1am when it was dead quiet 😅

[@bmoresfinest1982]

As soon as i seen the stuff mentioned earlier about Ratner's allegations then mentioning him with Diddy im like "Ya.....that makes sense now" 🥴

This channel is just the bomb. Love it. Thanks for the awesome work James and crew!

Fun facts 1. Sir Anthony Hopkins stated that one of his goals in playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter for a final time was to re-establish that he is an evil serial killer as Hopkins believed Hannibal had come to be seen too much as a likable anti-hero by audiences. 2. Sir Anthony Hopkins showed up on the set during one of his off days just so he could watch Philip Seymour Hoffman work. The two actors shared no scenes in this movie. 3. Sir Anthony Hopkins (Dr. Hannibal Lecter), Anthony Heald (Dr. Frederick Chilton), and Frankie Faison (Barney Matthews) all reprised their roles from earlier movies in the franchise. Faison is the only one to have appeared in the first four Thomas Harris "Hannibal" adaptations having also appeared in Manhunter (1986) in a different role. 4. The establishing shot of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane was re-used from The Silence of the Lambs (1991) as the building was no longer available for filming. 5. Will Graham (Edward Norton) appears in only four scenes with Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) in this movie, the same number of scenes Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) shared with Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). 6. Brett Ratner directed Rush Hour 2 (2001) previous to directing this movie. In Rush Hour 2 (2001) ghe main villain's yacht and new casino in Las Vegas were named "The Red Dragon". 7. When Lecter is given the phone he punches the button in the cradle in a sequence dialing area code 312 which would be for a number in downtown Chicago. This trick worked on pre-digital phones it replicates what happens when a telephone dial is turned. When you put your finger in the hole for a specific digit pull it round to the stop then release it the spring turns the dial back creating one click for each digit as it passes. As the number 0 is the last in the sequence it clicks ten times. Upon the arrival of touch-tone phones wiz kids such as a young Steve Wozniak who co-founded Apple could build boxes to generate the tones making phone calls for free. The phone company later changed this to prevent such things. 8. After finding out that Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes) knows where he lives Will Graham (Edward Norton) brings his family to a horse and sheep ranch a reference to the story of Clarice's (Jodie Foster's) childhood in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). 9. This movie opens with Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) attending an orchestral performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" specifically Felix Mendelssohn's Scherzo (Opus 21). The Scherzo serves as transition to Act II of William Shakespeare's play in which the Puck soon warns Oberon of "night's swift dragons", who "cut the clouds full fast". This refers to a Greek myth in which night is a chariot drawn by dragons whose eyes are always open and inescapable. It is worth noting that on stage (and in imagery far back as 1628) the Puck is often presented like a faun a mythical being that usually otherwise plays a flute as does the focus of Lecter's ire. 10. Many actors and actresses from this movie had also worked with the original Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Lecktor), Brian Cox. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mary-Louise Parker appeared with Cox in RED 2 (2013), Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in 25th Hour (2002), Emily Watson in The Boxer (1997) and The Water Horse (2007), and Ralph Fiennes in Coriolanus (2011). 11. According to the screenplay the special meal Hannibal requests while in his cell in exchange for advice is a veal dinner. It is the only time in the entire trilogy that Anthony Hopkins' Lector is shown eating. 12. When Graham opens the TV cabinet drawer at the Leeds' house some of the videotapes that are visible are the movies Jaws, E.T., The Big Fix, and Bustin' Loose. 13. Edward Norton and Anthony Hopkins have both appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Hulk and Odin respectively. 14. In the opening Dr. Hannibal Lecter serves his dinner guests wine that appears to bear the label of Maison Joseph Drouhin. Produced in French vineyards in Burgundy it is certainly not a Chianti. 15. The blind Reba McClane wears a braille watch a type of wristwatch which can be opened to touch/read the time. 16. In the scene where Will Graham realizes Hannibal Lector is his target not just his advisor and is subsequently stabbed in his lower left abdomen by Hannibal which Graham stabs Hannibal in his lower left abdomen in return to save himself. As a result both Will & Hannibal are not just both stabbed in the same spot and while both are wearing white button down shirts but both will also carry scars in the same location for the rest of their lives. This is a visual indication and reminder of Graham's mental similarity to Lector despite being moral opposites by societal standards. 17. Freddy Loundes writes an article that the Tooth Fairy will 'go down in flames.' shortly after he was kidnapped glued to a wheelchair set on fire and rolled down the street by the Tooth Fairy which he went down in flames. 18. The musician that Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) sees playing badly and later serves to his dinner guests was meant to be Benjamin Raspail whose head Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) found in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). In that movie Hannibal tells Clarice that he did not kill Raspail merely "tucked him away much as I found him." This is not a discrepancy in the book Hannibal admits to having killed Raspail.l and the head in the jar was another man named Klaus. 19. When FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) realizes that Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) is the killer for whom he is looking Lecter stabs him with a knife but Graham fends him off with arrows. This may be a subtle reference to how Hannibal was exposed in the novel. One of his victims was found horribly mutilated with multiple stab wounds. Graham discovered that the victim had a scar from an old wound that was caused by an arrow and finds out that Dr. Hannibal Lecter was the physician who had treated the wound. Graham visits Lecter a few times in the hope that Lecter may be able to provide a helpful lead. During one visit he notices an illustration in one of Lecter's books depicting a man with the same stab wounds as the victim which makes him realize that Lecter is the killer. However just as in this movie Lecter surprises Graham and nearly stabs him to death. 20. Frank Langella recorded lines as the Voice of the Dragon in the scene where the Dragon tells Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes) to kill Reba (Emily Watson). Although director Brett Ratner said that Langella did a great job he felt the voice-over didn't work the way he had intended. He then had Fiennes record the lines (almost like Dolarhyde's inner voice) but it was finally decided that the scene worked better without a voice-over.
