Brian Cox was the first actor to play Hannibal Lecter or spelled Lecktor in this film. Cox playing the character, gives a different take on Lecter or Lecktor. Hopkins playing the character is much creepier with a slight sense of humor to it. Cox's comes off as much more sinister and calmer, that's what makes this version a bit scarier, I think. They choose the title Manhunter because they felt Red Dragon (which is the title of Harris's first book) sounded too much like a Martial arts movie.

I love this scene. Movie almost has a Miami Vice feel to it.
