During the filming of this movie, Sir Anthony Hopkins was playing King Lear at the National Theatre. During the filming of The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Brian Cox was playing King Lear at the National Theatre.
This movie was originally going to be titled "Red Dragon", the same name as the novel. However, when Year of the Dragon (1985) became a box-office failure, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis decided to avoid a "dragon" title. In May 1991, NBC decided to capitalize off of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) by airing the film under the title "Red Dragon: The Curse of Hannibal Lecter."
Brian Cox said in the DVD interview that he based his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecktor on Scottish serial killer Peter Manuel.
When the production could not get permission to film on board a commercial airplane, writer and director Michael Mann booked his actors, actresses, and crew onto a twilight flight from Chicago to Florida, where the production was relocating anyway. A stripped-down camera, lighting and sound equipment were taken on board as carry-on luggage. Pilots and flight attendants were appeased with gifts of movie crew jackets.
In a featurette included on the DVD, Tom Noonan (Francis Dollarhyde) said that he avoided all contact with cast members in order to heighten the isolation and tension between him and other people, particularly William Petersen (Will Graham).
"Will Graham: I know that I'm not smarter than you. Dr. Hannibal Lecktor: Then how did you catch me? Will Graham: You had disadvantages. Dr. Hannibal Lecktor: What disadvantages? Will Graham: You're insane."
"Will Graham: This started from an abused kid, a battered infant... There's something terrible about... Jack Crawford: What are you, sympathizing with this guy? Will Graham: Absolutely... My heart bleeds for him, as a child. Someone took a kid and manufactured a monster. At the same time, as an adult, he's irredeemable. He butchers whole families to pursue trivial fantasies... As an adult, someone should blow the sick fuck out of his socks... [pause] Will Graham: Do you think that's a contradiction, Jack? Does this kind of understanding make you uncomfortable?"
