Manhunter	comment	The first Film of the Book of the Thomas Harris novel Red Dragon, this 1986 film, written and directed by Michael Mann for the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, features Hannibal Lecktor (note the spelling) as played by Brian Cox. Like in The Silence of the Lambs, he is used to help an FBI investigator. His name is Will Graham (William Petersen) and he is trying to find a serial killer known as Francis Dollarhyde (note this spelling too), nicknamed "The Tooth Fairy". As he tries to find the serial killer, Graham's personal demons start to haunt him, affecting his work and his relationships.Unlike later adaptations of the Hannibal Lecter novels, Manhunter relies heavily on saturated colors and overpowering music. Mann carried over much of the film's style from his earlier work with Miami Vice and To Live and Die in L.A..The film was later re-made in 2002 as Red Dragon, this time acting as a prequel to the 1991 adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs instead of a self-contained work.Not to be confused with Sierra's series of adventure games with the same name, or the comic of the same name. It should also not be confused with the similarly titled horror/killer video game produced by Rockstar Games, even though both feature actor Brian Cox.

The Director's cut adds a brief scene showing more of Chilton's Jerkass side, but he is still far more competent than he is in the book and later films (Chilton tries to pick Graham's brain for some insights into Lecktor's psyche; when Graham coldly shuts him down, Chilton immediately realizes he went too far and backs off).

Additionally, the slides that Dollarhyde shows Lounds, depicting his victims postmortem, are left obscured from the viewer, leaving Lounds' pained reactions being the only indicators of how horrific they actually are. Compare this to the 2002 film and the Hannibal TV series, which show both in vivid detail.

Manhunter / int_4b0ef86e	type	Advertised Extra
Manhunter / int_4b0ef86e	comment	Advertised Extra: The film was broadcast on TV immediately after the phenomenal success of The Silence of the Lambs but the title was changed to Red Dragon: The Pursuit of Hannibal Lecter. Of course, anyone who saw the movie in 1986 or read the book would realize that Lecter had about eight minutes of screen time and being that the story is set prior to Silence of the Lambs, Lecter is still behind bars for the entire film. The character being pursued was a serial killer called The Tooth Fairy real name is Francis Dollarhyde. Lecter's influence is marginal and is mostly part of the main character's backstory. The name change and subtitle was just an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the recent 1991 blockbuster by broadcasting a little-remembered film that was based on the previous book in the series.

Manhunter / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Manhunter / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Compared to the 1991 film adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs and its successors, Manhunter takes a far different approach, to the point where one could easily forget it's part of the same greater franchise. It lacks the Gothic overtones of later films, opting instead for a more stylized approach making heavy and idiosyncratic use of saturated color to invoke mood (e.g. "sensual" blue and "subversive" green). The film lacks much of the more explicit violence of later films in favor of exploiting Nothing Is Scarier and the Gory Discretion Shot, which makes the few instances of explicit violence that much heavier-hitting. Probably the most microcosmic aspect of Manhunter is Hannibal "Lecktor": his prison is a cramped cell in a sterile, white mental hospital, far removed from the large, dungeonlike design seen in later films, and Lecktor himself is more smug and willing to put up facades than the serpentine and more outwardly malevolent portrayal by Anthony Hopkins.

Manhunter / int_5a40d6a	type	Adaptation Distillation
Manhunter / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: A few notable changes: Lecktor's sixth finger is missing—although every film adaptation of the series has excluded this plot point. Dollarhyde's obsession with the red dragon painting and his split personality are mostly ignored and instead just barely hinted at— in fact his past and backstory are glossed over as is much of the character's personality. Instead of the wider-array of targets the literary Lecter chooses, the cinematic Lecktor is said to specifically target college girls, and there is no mention of the fact he is a cannibal (save munching on a nurse's face). In some ways he's more of a minor character here to give history to Will Graham and provide Dollarhyde his information- which is how he was intended to be, but is given much less focus than in the novel. The mental hospital is a new facility, bright white and clean as opposed to the filthy dungeon look of later films, with Lecktor kept in a room divided into his cell and a visitor room. There is no Plexiglas wall or neighboring cells. Kevin is Will's son, not his stepson. In the book, when Will tells Kevin about what he has to do to catch people like Lecter or Dollarhyde, he feels ashamed for having to defend himself to his stepson. In the film, it becomes a bonding moment for father and son. Dollarhyde is killed at his home in a shootout with police, rather than escaping to show up at Graham's house later. In the book, Will is badly disfigured by Dollarhyde, and later is revealed to have become a serious alcoholic. In the film, Will has some facial injuries that are not disfiguring, and while he's going to check into therapy to deal with the trauma of the film's events, he will eventually recover and rejoin his family.

Lektor's prison is completely white, which has a negative psychological effect on Will (who calms down when staring at the green grass.) Of course, Dollarhyde's job is color correction, and he puts shards of mirrors in his female victims' eyes.

Manhunter / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: A great deal of expository content from the novel is absent from the film, thus cutting out a good amount of background information crucial to understanding the book's characters. Most notably, Francis Dollarhyde's backstory and split personality are only briefly alluded to in the film, thus making him a far more enigmatic character compared to the almost voyeuristic level of detail he's given in the book. Given that the final movie is already two hours long, it's likely much of this exposition was cut out for the sake of saving time, and the film works around these gaps by playing them into its heavy focus on implication.

Manhunter / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: After feeding the misleading and insulting story about the killer to the Tattler in order to set Will up as a target, the FBI plans to have Will walk a particular route at night while snipers and other agents closely monitor the scene. As Will walks the path, a man in a hoodie appears running in his direction. Right when the man gets close, Will tackles him and the agents rush in. Upon removing the hood, they realize it's just some random jogger who can't be the killer (they know the killer is blond based on crime scene evidence, while the jogger is black). The killer had actually decided to go after Freddy Lounds that same night. Immediately after Jack and Will discover that Lektor's coded message to the Tooth Fairy was the address of the Graham family, the film cuts to Molly being woken by Kevin, who notifies his mom of some strange noises outside. The two quietly make their way to the front door, noticing the silhouette of a man holding a shotgun on the kitchen wall. Upon opening the front door, they come face to face with a police officer with a shotgun politely asking if they're alright while loads of other officers sent in by Jack frantically cover the premises.

The film establishes itself with a Murderer P.O.V. stalking the family in their own house as he ascends to their bedroom, cutting to the credits just as the wife wakes up.
