Red Dragon kicks ass!
- Thread starter -SD-
- Start date
I'll second that. This film was bad f'n ass with a great, great ending. I would hesitate to put any of this series above either of the 2 other movies, since all 3 were spectacular. If you liked the Hannibal Lecter character the best, he got the most time onscreen in the 2nd movie.
I cannot wait for the trilogy package to come out.

Why did they have a dude come back as the agent? She was the agent in first Silence.... Damn Lambs are still not talkin....
I'm still .....
Heres how it works: Jodie foster first joined the FBI in Silence of the Lambs, so if Red Dragon is a PRE-quel to Silence of the Lambs, that means Jodie Foster wont be in it because it happened before Silence of the Lambs and before she was in the FBI in the first place. The FBI agent in Red Dragon is the one who first captures Lecter and puts him in that asylum that you see in Silence of the Lambs.

tid bit fact
The Movie Red Dragon was already made before (think 1987-88), you can pick it up at your local video store.

Haven't seen it yet, but I want to. The only thing that sucks is, since I'm a bit of a stickler for basic logic, that the movie is set shortly after Lecter's incarceration. If memory serves, that's 11 years before Lambs. So chronologically, Hopkins, who is in his 50s or 60s is playing a 30 year old man?
For you all who've seen it, how do they pull that off?

It wasn't a bad film, however I would have prefered they concentrate more on Lecter. He's the reason people are going to see the film. Besides the beginning of the film, Lecter spends all his time locked up, which was a bummer. I wanted to see him move around in the real world more.
The dude that played the Red Dragon, was damn good. Even though he was going around hacking up families, he still seemed like a decent guy, just fucked up in the head. I guess I will always have a soft spot for a guy with a nice dumbell set and bench press in his home.

This is true, and the name of the movie is "Man Hunter"....Pretty decent flick....
Vix,
As for J. Foster not being in any more Hannible flicks, she didn't like the script for Hannible and withdrew from the production and J. Moore was her replacement, I worked on the set of Hannible for a month doing background and featured extra work...Both J. Moore and A. Hopkins are extremely nice people....Hopkins is quite the gentleman in every respect.....

I gotta disagree Haz. I think the Lecter character thrives on the mystique of looming out there as an untouchable, rarely heard or seen. He's vital to the story, but is also most effective when the audience is left wanting more.
I think this is the reason Hannibal didn't do very well. The character was overdexposed and people got too much of a good thing.

But in Silence of the Lambs lecter has a chance for mayham and espcape. In this one he doesn't get a chance to do anything of true menace. In hannibal he was over used I agree, but in this film he was under used.
I'm not saying its a bad film, I just wanted more of lecter and a bit less of the red dragon.

I just watched this movie last night. The entire cast was solid. I'm supprised that Hopkins wasn't even nominated for best supporting actor, and Fiennes as well. Both were amazing.
Norton was great too, but his roll wasn't as challenging.
Do you think that if Hopkins was playing this hannibal for the first time, he would of been considered for the Oscar?
