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.
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
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
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
@@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.
@@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.
FINALLY someone credits Red Dragon for the origin of the Hannigram homoeroticism. Red Dragon is why we have a lot of NBC Hannibal stuff and no one talks about it.
The series was great. Mads did Hannibal with alot of the traditional character but also made it his own. Tall order to follow and he nailed it. And Will Graham in the show is wayyyy better than the milk toast Graham here
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.
@@coolnerdlll6053 The Prince of Egypt is one of my favorite animations ever, thanks mostly by the cast which also had Val Kilmer, Michelle Pffeifer, Jeff Goldblum, Sandra Bullock, Danny Glover, Steve Martin and Martin Short besides Ralph
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
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.
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.
Makes me wonder if there’s a super cut that combines the best scenes of both versions. Like having the 80’s version of Graham investigating the crime scenes in the same version that has the 2000s version’s climax
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.
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.
@@DrThrustbone In the movie Silence, I think it's revealed that Bill killed a trans person too? I'm wondering if that's in the book bc that would extra explain why Raspail didn't care.
RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It forever crushes me that we lost this genious of acting and human being so young just in his 46 years old. A true legend that we lost way too soon
I remember when he died my teacher for the drama class I took in college spent the whole class just to talking to us about mental health and addiction. It became an almost group therapy session.
@@stevencoffin328 He was many years of sobriety since he begin is addiction in his youth years, unfortunately i guess we can't escape from our inner demons
@@mandyb2245 Recently watched Twister because of the upcoming new movie, he is great in there, you should watch Capote, Before the Devil Knows You Are Dead and Doubt, probably his three best movies in his whole career
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.
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.
Apparently Ted Levine also almost ended up traumatizing himself but he and the FBI agent got caught and so he never got as deep as poor Scott Glenn did.
That and all the crimes are happening in ritual areas and is probably mocking Will with the fact that despite getting closer to solving this case, this killer is getting smarter and better at his craft
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
I loved the way Hannibal works with certain people. Clarice had to give personal info and be controlled by Hannibal just for him to mess with and help her. Will completely ignores him and doesn’t bend because of their history together. Hannibal can’t toy with Will that makes the dynamic so interesting
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.
Ok, so are going to acknowlege that the guy who fled to avoid facing consequences for sexual predation was apparently bffs with at least two known secual predators?
Fun fact! My mother bought the house they used to film in the Florida Keys a few years back, and found out about the movie soon after. To this day, we still call it the red dragon house!
1:51 A “Death to Smoochy” call out was not what I expected when I clicked on this video, but here I am, gloriously pleased at the reference. Seriously underrated film.
@@danielbretall2236 me too, I think “Death to Smoochy” is my favorite Robin Williams movie tbh. Danny DeVito had to be on something when directing the movie lol, it’s so insane!
@@adhirgThe scene where Randolph tries to frame Smoochy/Sheldon with the dick shaped cookie to get his job back then runs out screaming at him in front of the kids when it backfires kills me to this day.
Ed Norton isn't too bad as Will Graham, but Hugh Dancy's portrayal in the Hannibal series, is a lot more accurate then Ed's. A pity its too hard to a kill count on the series.
thats exactly what i was thinking. there's a lot more going on in the show than the killing (despite it being about killers) that it would be a waste to only focus on those 🥲
I think the issue is that Ed Norton is an alright actor but putting him across from titans like Ralf Fiennes and Antony Hopkins did him no favours as he just lacks range as an actor. He comes across as kind of bland to me.
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.
This is an underrated entry in this series. Ralph Fiennes is great and Edward Norton is such a good Will Graham. Feels like a great adaption of the novel.
i just finished watching Hannibal the serie and i reaaaally loved the wink that they give to Hannibal (2001) and manhunter/red dragon (season 2 and 3 respectively). Season 1 is amazing as well, but all three seasons excells in the showcase (?) of the deaths!!!
My brain knows that Red Dragon isn't as good as the others, but I saw this movie BEFORE Silence of the Lambs, so it holds a special place. It was my introduction to Hannibal.
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.
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 :)
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.
Getting your lips bitten off and then burned alive has to be one of the worst ways to go imo. Even worse he was still flaying around when he was flying down the road I hope you cover the Hannibal series after Rising because it is absolute phenomenal and underrated and has some if the most gnarly and brutal kills
Freakazoid sits in my mind as some sort of wonderful fever dream. I hear so few references to it, but I always appreciate them when I do, so thank you for that James. Candle Jack.
Ever since I watched the tv series, Hannibal, I found myself comparing this movie to that show lol but I love having a Lecter Marathon! Including Hannibal Rising 😂
@@KadenHartley James mentioned that Brett Ratner fled the country after sexual misconduct claims, Diddy House just got raided and we all know the rumours about Michael Jackson...you knew exactly what his point was.
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.
I caught the really good shape Fiennes was in for the role. As a bodybuilder myself I really approve. The work was actually done this time, rather than an actor just cutting weight and using camera angles.
@@DAsrada Fiennes was in good shape, no doubt. The Dolarhyde of the book though is described as MASSIVE and so muscular that the dragon tattoo on his back seemes animated by the muscles when he moves. That imagery I think would be really interesting if put to film.
@tuckershuff1441 I regularly get pretty big, and I'm trying to make it as an actor. Plus, I can inject a bit of personal connection: everyone said I looked really good, but due to suffering from rosacea all I saw was the ugly red spots. Like how all Dolarhyde saw was his palate scar, when people honestly did find him attractive.
I think the best interpretation of hannibal lecter is by far the nbc one with hugh dancy and Mads mikkelsen. Not saying the classic hannibaly are bad, but the NBC series is so well casted and the performances are outstanding so if anyone gets the chance to see it ... do it ~ Palpatine/ Darth Sidious
I love Red Dragon. It really feels like Silence of the Lambs and they pair so well together. As they were the 2 original novels I think they flow well, rather than Hannibal and Hannibal Rising which were cash grabs.
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.
You can interprete it as when he first was arrested he was finally relived he didn't have to hide the monster inside anymore but over time he mellowed out until 10 years after his escape he started to miss the game.

Very curious how you managed to misspell his name so badly when it was literally the title of the movie before this 😂
Spelling has never been my strong point thanks to being dyslexic.
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 😂😂😂😂
Hannibal**
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
Ironically, Ratner being friendly with Sean Combs/P. Diddy is the LEAST surprising side-fact to this movie, given everything that's come out recently
This aged... weirdly 😅

Since I couldn't be first I'll be the first reply comment on the technically "second" comment
Well, the first will always be the thing to compare to, whether or not it's actually justified.
Yup
Well it didn’t just take inspiration from the same book. They clearly remade many similar shots. Low effort
@Irgevwvrheioakwh what are you talking about? It adapted parts of the book the original movie didn't
I've never seen a bad Ralph Fiennes performance, he always gives it all and commits 100% to everything I've seen him in
He was still good in The Avengers from 98
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.
Yeah, it's a messed up story. Kind of a dick move by John Douglas.
Damn… poor guy, I hope he was able to get help
John Douglas had him listen to a real audio recording of a woman being murdered. No wonder the poor dude is still messed up.
Apparently Ted Levine also almost ended up traumatizing himself but he and the FBI agent got caught and so he never got as deep as poor Scott Glenn did.
@@sleepyandroid6904 That's messed up wow
I believe the reason for Hannibal using a southern accent with Will to mock him is because Will came from a poor upbringing in Louisiana
That and all the crimes are happening in ritual areas and is probably mocking Will with the fact that despite getting closer to solving this case, this killer is getting smarter and better at his craft
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.
I agree with that, though I think Richard Armitage gave us the best of both on the TV show. All three are great though.
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.
Noonan was also excellent in his episode of the x files
The way he clutches Wills son in an attempt to protect him when will is insulting him is kinda heartbreaking
Ralph Fiennes was better as Dolarhyde and Anthony Hopkins was better as Hannibal but William Petersen was better as Will Graham

Ralph Fiennes was terrifying in this film. Keep up the good work, guys!
Freakazoid sits in my mind as some sort of wonderful fever dream. I hear so few references to it, but I always appreciate them when I do, so thank you for that James. Candle Jack.
That P.Diddy/Ratner tidbit had me honking out the most uncomfortable laughter after what’s been happening with Diddy over the past week, oh my god 🫠🫠

When you got the tattoo, I hope you remembered to take your Bactine to prevent infection, and, in case you got queasy - a photo of Easy Rider?

@@l.c.3118 That’s because Michael Jackson is innocent
Oh my god the Freakazoid drawing absolutely killed me!
Here I am at Yellowstone National Park. This was just near the gift shop. DO YOU SEE???
Lmfao not enough likes ..for this gold
Love that South Park episode!
“I see you like cutting the eyes out of photos of women. My son is a big fan of that too!”
Aaaaagh so boring!
Don't forget Joe Dirt
The way the diddy party is extra crazy now
13:09 A DIDDY PARTY, NOT A PARTY I WANNA BE AT" 😂😂😂 I LOVE YOU JAMES ❤❤
I was looking for this 😂
Hannibal lecter was at the diddy party
Ever since I watched the tv series, Hannibal, I found myself comparing this movie to that show lol but I love having a Lecter Marathon! Including Hannibal Rising 😂
Brett Ratner, Michael Jackson, and Diddy all partied together? What could those three upstanding men all have in common? I wonder.
Can't forget Rev Run's brother is Russell Simmons, add him to the list too.
They are really good friends and just like to party, what's your point?
@@KadenHartley James mentioned that Brett Ratner fled the country after sexual misconduct claims, Diddy House just got raided and we all know the rumours about Michael Jackson...you knew exactly what his point was.
Don't add Michael Jackson
@sasukeuchiha8801that’s… not even true.
13:12; I love the remark how he wouldn't want to be at Sean's party and how this aged.
I love the small wrestling jokes James throws in the episodes because he is such a big fan. The Randy Orton lyric had me rolling on the floor ngl
The viper 🥺
I was singing along too😂😂😂 I love Randy Orton
I had to check the comments to see if someone else caught it lol
@sasukeuchiha8801you’re not a jerk at all 😊
“not a party i want to be at” aged beautifully
the rivalry between james and puppet james is something i didnt know i needed 😂
Man, that Diddy friendship sure looks weird(er) now.
And next we have *Hannibal Rising* , which is certainly a movie
I completely forgot that existed. Never saw it.
It is a very weird and bad film
One of the movies of all time
Puppet James is not real, he can’t hurt you
Puppet james: 3:36
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.
I caught the really good shape Fiennes was in for the role. As a bodybuilder myself I really approve.
The work was actually done this time, rather than an actor just cutting weight and using camera angles.
Someone call Tom Hardy’s agent.
@@DAsrada Fiennes was in good shape, no doubt. The Dolarhyde of the book though is described as MASSIVE and so muscular that the dragon tattoo on his back seemes animated by the muscles when he moves. That imagery I think would be really interesting if put to film.
@tuckershuff1441 I regularly get pretty big, and I'm trying to make it as an actor. Plus, I can inject a bit of personal connection: everyone said I looked really good, but due to suffering from rosacea all I saw was the ugly red spots. Like how all Dolarhyde saw was his palate scar, when people honestly did find him attractive.
@@tuckershuff1441Fiennes' tattoo definitely writhes under his muscle when he's posing for Lounds.
"Hello Jamethy"? How could they miss a perfect opportunity to say "Hello, Janisse"?
Never knew James was a Twisted Metal fan! Using YellowJacket's special weapon sound effect at 23:39 sent for a loop lmao
Never disagreed with James more than I have on Red Dragon. I absolutely love this movie
Ratner being chummy with P Diddy on the red carpet makes me wonder if he’s on the list
7:22 i understood that reference
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S GETTING SLANDERED IN DEAD MEAT TOO IM DEAD
@@Walrusxyz You can't slander a legend
I love that the wife isn’t useless in this movie and actually gets a kill
I think the best interpretation of hannibal lecter is by far the nbc one with hugh dancy and Mads mikkelsen. Not saying the classic hannibaly are bad, but the NBC series is so well casted and the performances are outstanding so if anyone gets the chance to see it
... do it

13:14 dead meat predicted diddy downfall?!?
I love Red Dragon. It really feels like Silence of the Lambs and they pair so well together. As they were the 2 original novels I think they flow well, rather than Hannibal and Hannibal Rising which were cash grabs.
13:14 oh boy diddy
My first experience watching with Hannibal was from the show. I knew about the movies but hadnt seen them at that point.
Brett Ratner, Michael Jackson, and P.Diddy??? Gee, I wonder what the connection is there.
I do love an unexpected Frank-N-Furter!
Made me laugh out loud at 1am when it was dead quiet 😅
13:10 the Sean Combs reference 💀
“That’s enough to make this jealous dragon see red” 😂😂😂
James, if you're worried no one caught that Fountains of Wayne reference at 15:10, I just want you to know that I did.
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.
It would be date published; added is when you put them into the playlist, which is probably the order they’re in now.
@@4amlibra Thank you
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" 🥴
You can interprete it as when he first was arrested he was finally relived he didn't have to hide the monster inside anymore but over time he mellowed out until 10 years after his escape he started to miss the game.
Today is awesome. Got starbucks. A blunt. And another Kill Count in one of my fav horror series.
Brett Ratner and Diddy partying together, no wonder he fled the country
7:53 “dogging his reservoir” literally just watched that movie yesterday lol
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
Edward Norton should be in more movies.
I miss him
Real
15:03 Sergeant Newdeputy Anderson: Oh My Dear God Jesus Christ!
Sergeant Ethan Winters: Holy Jesus Christ Jumping Christmas Crap!
that P Diddy reference hit at a wild time lmao
