| These
shots show Hannibal Lecter being videotaped. Why and when is not apparent. It could be while Graham is talking to him. In 'The Silence of the Lambs', Dr. Chilton secretly audio tapes Clarice Starling making a deal with Lecter. Could it be that Dr Chilton is doing the same thing here? |

The most well known
change is the removal of the scene featuring Dolarhyde's Red Dragon tattoo. Certainly, in the scene where Francis holds Freddie Lounds captive, he is wearing a shirt. When he is in bed with Reba, he is bare-chested with no tattoo to be seen. But once again, a publicity photos exist of actor Tom Noonan in the bed with the tattoo. |

| I was fortunate enough to be able to ask Tom Noonan about this and this is what he said; "We shot every 'shirtless' scene in Manhunter both with tattoo and without. Michael Mann made the choice in editing to use the scenes without tattoo - I remember him saying that it was 'too much' and it 'diminished' the character." |
