Anyone who thinks this is better than "Red Dragon" is bullshitting themselves. This movie was waaaay too padded in almost every scene, the 80's music is lame, we got little to no insight on why the killer is the way is, Cox's Lecter is forgetabble, and the ending was changed to the typical "Hero kills villain and lives happily ever after with his wife" hollywood ending. LAME. It's only benefits are William Peterson and Tom Noonan in their roles.
I think William Peterson did a much better job portraying Graham than Ed Norton did. Peterson captured the quite intensity of Graham, as well as his perpetual torment at his ability to so thoroughly understand someone like Lechter or Dolarhyde.
This movie was made with a small budget, with unknowns (in Hollywood), by a director with only 4 films to his credit. This movie is genius! So what, if it is dated by the music??? Tell me Frankenstein, or "M" isn't dated!!! This is a tremendous film that gets blasted because a younger audience has no patience for older films.
@kyokogodai When i saw Red Dragon back in 2002 i never knew it was a remake!! later i saw this version and thought it was way better! in Red Dragon they changed the ending!! i hate how Hollywood is making all the remakes of movies!! am a huge fan of Michael Mann's movies!!
@ny5280 Yeah the only differece between the Red Dragon movie ending and the book is Will ends up severly disfigured. I believe Dollarhyde stabs a knife in his face, and also in the book it says that after that Will realizes that he himself is capable of murder. That was the thing I liked about Manhunter, while it differed a lot from the book it kept in tact the psycological toll that being able to think like a killer has on Will. That aspect is missed a lot more in the Red Dragon movie.
"In-A-Gada-Vida"...by Iron Butterfly.... is the exact same guitar riff from the Band 'Cream's'..."Sunshine of your Love.." Who the fuk are this band.? and why are movies sceens being deleted because of their derived music,... as I asume was the case with a channel showing all this film, which I viewed earlier. I like the music, I just dont understand why it has a copyright issue.
I was watching the film on another channel, and this end sceen...the sound was deleted.!!
So many thanks for uploading this...so I could see again some of the ending. A greatly underated/unkown film for many. It makes the "Silence of the Lambs" - Trilogy, seem lame by comparison.
I notice the cameras blink a lot in this part, must have had to re-take a good deal; also, what made him miss at 5:43 something must have thrown him off
Manhunter was made a few years before Mann really hit his stride... this movie seems like a made for TV movie but you can see the genius at work. But honestly this final battle is poorly edited and seems so rushed
HA! Will jumped through that window like he thought he was the fucking FLY!
And screwed that whole operation up! Got himself cut up real good(although not a scratch from the window that he leaped through)and got several cops killed.Bet they dont ask for his help again.
@Marilyn1966 Damn right. Noonan played the most sympathetic crazy. We wanted him to die but felt the pain as well. Sometimes I understand it very clearly.
First time I watched that movie, I wasn't aware that was the first chapter based of the Lecter's saga. I discovered watching it. That movie was like a trip, I've been in a strange mood as a spectator. Michael Mann is a talented genius in contemporary cinema. That movie stayed in my mind for few days, like an experience. Love remember it with a little pieces like this.
Brilliant movie! It's a bloody shame that it's so underrated. Michael Mann really pulled of this one. This movie reminds me of Miami Vice's episode "Shadow in the dark". Mind-blowing scene.
I think this is so superior to the camp 'Silence of the Lambs'-and Cox is scarier than Hopkins-by not trying to be scary. The sleeping tiger scene is genius. Also love that hovering electronic soundtrack.
''Mr Dollarhyde-what are you doing here?!" ''Frances is gone-Frances is gone-FOREVER''! Great.
Yeah, Silence is a much better movie, but this was a very entertaining and fun movie to watch. Hopkins kills Cox in the role of Lecter, but Cox was still great.
Though I consider Red Dragon to be the scariest, there's just something about this baby, Manhunter. I mean, it captures the feel of the 80s so perfectly.
Tom Noonan is good actor and underrated, but I'm sure he's cool with that; I was happy to seen him in CSI episode; of course, he played the main villian. lol Awesome!
its genius how in a gada da vida drowns out a lot of the background noise, save for the really dramatic sounds: the smashing of the mirror, the dragging of her across the poster, the window shattering, the cocking of the shotgun, etc
Kinda strange how certain scenes from both movies are practically identical and seem almost line for line the same script, I know tht's prob mostly due to them being based on the same novel but it's like seeing 2 different versions of it, gotta say though, really like this different ending, Dollarhyde sure has some kick-ass taste in music.
I liked the ending to "Manhunter" better than "Red Dragon" (book or movie). "Manhunter" made Will Graham the hero; the book didn't and it had a seriously depressing ending. And I couldn't stand Edward Norton as Graham in 'RD.' Ruined the whole movie for me. Oh, and I liked Brian Cox as the original Hannibal Lector in "Manhunter"...less Hollywood.
Tom Noonan portrayed Dolarhyde well-capturing the shyness, self consciousness, and the intensity of the character. But he just did not have the look for the part, the muscularity or the obvious deformity-here it just looks like he cut his upper lip. The scars from surgery should be obvious. And William Peterson was perfect as Graham-captured that tormented self loathing but determination and introspection perfectly.
One of, if not the best, films of all time. The remake is a travesty, Accept no imitations.This is the original and best. When I read the book "Red Dragon" I actually imagined the Tooth Fairy to look exactly like he looks in "Manhunter".
Noonan deserved an oscar for this role period, point, blank. He is a genius and did this role the right way he never dehumanized a serial killer which is fucking hard to do. God bless him.
By far the best Hannibal movie ever and also the best ending.......Two chicago favs playing the leads and a song the singer was to drunk to pronounce "In the garden of Eden" became this.......I am not one to watch movies over again.....but this segment I can watch forever.....props to the creator of this upload and Michael Mann. The Tooth Fairy was never more creeepy.
@PaytonWestlake No, the scariest thing is the people that made it a box office hit are reproducing! I mean, a remake of a Kirstie Alley movie starring The Rock, and people plunked down $8 a copy (minimum) to see it.....
@darklipstikgrrl You got it! The ACLU will tell people how to smoke dope and not get caught by police but they won`t defend someone`s Second Amendment right. Liberal commies the lot of them.
@ion3 What are you talking about? How does the ACLU's neutral stance on gun control make it a communist organization? What does this have to do with Manhunter?
In my humble opinion this is by far the best of the Lecter franchise. Ok, this film has a v. eighties feel, and maybe there's holes in the script...but...it's a damn good film unlike most of the others that followed that were laboured, formula efforts...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This movie really doesnt follow the book at all, it takes a general idea of the book and makes it a movie, that said red dragon the movie does follow the book a lot better, frankly i find all the actors in manhunter to "stink". not as actors but portraying the book characters they were all way off. Red Dragon (movie) is way better than this dated, cheesy, piece of 80's cinema. Anyone who says this movie is great and they portrayed the characters so well is full of shit. quote me on that.
@nickjohnson55 Well it does state that the film is BASED on a novel by Thomas Harris, so it isnt meant to follow the novel ad verbatim. Its a magnificent film by the way; Red Dragon(the remake) is rubbish in comparison.
I kind of wish that Harris would follow up the series with a continuation of Graham's story. He's such a tragic hero in the books and Will Petersen did a much better job at bringing out that haunted and lost quality than Norton did.
well i doubt the swat team guys goin in to take out a mass murdering seriel killer are gona be stcking anything less than buckshot and swat teams use 12 guage's , so a 12 guage buckshot to the head would destroy the skull and everything in it
A lot of people are making references to "Graham's Theme" and the way the song starts as he comes through the window. This is wrong. The song has been going on through this entire clip. It is all Iron Butterfly. As Graham is walking through the woods that is just an interlude in the song. The song starts when Dollarhyde puts the 8 track in shortly before this clip commences.
@bmotx I did once when I was a kid. I was running back in the house and tripped on the step. Went straight through the closed glass door like Arnie in an 80s blockbuster. Got away with only a gash on my arm and some serious street cred at school!!
@E1dabest Isn't that the ripper from Last Action Hero where his agent witnesses him whipping a "hibachi" out from under his raincoat? Did Jack Nicholson come dressed as the Joker to the Batman premier? I don't think so!!
@E1dabest i'm sure he's content. most people don't even know this movie exists or that there's even a prequel to silence of the lambs. the people that made this film are aware that it is a masterpiece - there is so much symbolism.
I dont understand why people say this is really true to the book. This ending is nothing like the book. Plus one reason the book was great was that it was based in realism while this scene is over the top and silly
What a masterpiece! Hopkins brought Hannibal to the world stage but I saw Manhunter before all that hype and was blown away. The blind woman and the sedated tiger is an amazing piece of cinematography. How dare they release 'The Red Dragon' just to fuel the franchise. Perhaps more loyal to Harris's book but once is enough to watch it. Norton is a fine actor but came across as weak and Fiennes does not even come close to Noonan's menacing performance. Also, an awesome soundtrack to Manhunter.
yeah just from watching Red Dragon clips I feel like Noonan did better as the villain, he is just more menacing, I mean he is 6 foot 6 and just does a scarier performance.
I agree. Edward Norton looked too young and innocent to play Graham. Graham is a character defined by the enormous weight he carries. He has an awareness of human evil that is useful yet agonizing to the point that it nearly destroyed his sanity. William Peterson is capable of delivering the gravity necessary for the role. Like the tooth fairy described him...... very "purposeful looking". Norton seemed out of his league as did Fiennes. Let's not even mention Harvey Keitel as Crawford. Yeesh!
@MrMcConnon I agree with you thoroughly. Hopkins delivers an astounding performance and is much better than Cox (a fine actor also). Though each actor approached the character differently, Hopkins will always be Hannibal. 'Silence of the Lambs' is a superb movie though I was not too keen on it's sequels.
Yet 'Manhunter' is the original classic that easily surpasses 'The Red Dragon'. Peterson and Noonan with the stylish vision of Mann makes the movie complete.
I'm sure there are a few holes in the script as there is in any other, but I thought 'Manhunter' had a very tight screenplay.
Maybe because the film was not loyal to Harris's book that critics jumped onto that notion. The ending is completely different but 'Manhunter' was only based on the book which doesn't confine how Mann wished to portray the story. Only after 'Silence of the Lambs' did most of the audience discover Harris's work and then compare the book 'TheRed Dragon' to 'Manhunter'.
Many films from the 80's out do the films of today - the mysterious systematic facets of this film are so reverent in cinema style unparalleled by mostly all films of today. I think Graham's Theme is a resplendent score that doesn't get enough credit as other film scores from that era of film. The film in and of itself is a true Michael Mann classic nonetheless!!!
Manhunter is definitely the better film, but I thought Red Dragon went into greater detail about Francis, his Jekyll-and-Hyde inner conflict and his relationship with Reba.
Manhunter was more about Graham, whereas Red Dragon was more about Dollarhyde.
Michael Mann's "The Keep" is one of my most favorite films from the 80's!!! This film has a lot of cinema appeal too!!! What a totally awesome dope track that "Graham's Theme" is altogether!! Man that dude "The Tooth Fairy" was a big crazed maniac. I give this film the All Out Two Thumbs Up over Silence of the Lambs!! Only the 80's could bring such an esoteric masterpiece to the world of cinema! Very moving and terrifying film that brought me to the edge of my seat!!!
This ending is great although Dollarhyde's death scene was kinda pieced together a bit. I loved how obsessed Will was, so much so he jumped through a plate-glass window to attack Francis Dollarhyde and rescue Reba?! Ultimate prequel to CSI! lol!
Absolutely brilliant film; have watched countless times but still admire pace, choice of soundtrack titles, sincere quality of acting by all concerned and just sheer gripping horror of the forensic details and theme. A timeless classic and a masterclass movie for any director aspiring to follow in the footsteps of Michael Mann.
actually i have always found brian cox the be a far superior lecter..maybe cause he was first i dunno..he is just nice and understated and spooky.."would you like to leave me your home phone number?"..frealy
This is fucking classic movie scene. When Will Peterson comes crashing through that glass and the POW of the opening of the song, My GOD it stays with you forever!!!
One of Michael Mann's shining moments as a director IMO. And a big shout out to Tom Noonan, his best character next to the Axe Maniac in Last Action Hero.
The only problem with the movie I had was Brian Cox didn't do it for me as Hannibal despite being the first to portray him , Hopkins kind of blew him out of the water.
Love how the blood is all under his arms all spread out....sort of like a...red...dragon?!? Tom Noonan played Frankenstein right after this in Monster Squad. How fitting. lol
That was awesome when he jumped through the window, and then Iron Butterfly started playing!! I'm going to have to buy this movie If I can ever find it, thanks for posting the ending!
Anyone who thinks this is better than "Red Dragon" is bullshitting themselves. This movie was waaaay too padded in almost every scene, the 80's music is lame, we got little to no insight on why the killer is the way is, Cox's Lecter is forgetabble, and the ending was changed to the typical "Hero kills villain and lives happily ever after with his wife" hollywood ending.

I would have preferred the ending from the book, where Dolarhyde burns the house and then attacks Grahm and his family.
jksonny 2 years ago 2
like the end of the new one, right
MrBlackhawk2010 2 years ago
Similar to that but the book's ending is slightly different. It's also more brutal; Will gets stabbed in the face and is disfigured.

A lot of people are making references to "Graham's Theme" and the way the song starts as he comes through the window. This is wrong. The song has been going on through this entire clip. It is all Iron Butterfly. As Graham is walking through the woods that is just an interlude in the song. The song starts when Dollarhyde puts the 8 track in shortly before this clip commences.

@bmotx I did once when I was a kid. I was running back in the house and tripped on the step. Went straight through the closed glass door like Arnie in an 80s blockbuster. Got away with only a gash on my arm and some serious street cred at school!!

@E1dabest Isn't that the ripper from Last Action Hero where his agent witnesses him whipping a "hibachi" out from under his raincoat? Did Jack Nicholson come dressed as the Joker to the Batman premier? I don't think so!!

@E1dabest i'm sure he's content. most people don't even know this movie exists or that there's even a prequel to silence of the lambs. the people that made this film are aware that it is a masterpiece - there is so much symbolism.

I dont understand why people say this is really true to the book. This ending is nothing like the book. Plus one reason the book was great was that it was based in realism while this scene is over the top and silly

What a masterpiece! Hopkins brought Hannibal to the world stage but I saw Manhunter before all that hype and was blown away. The blind woman and the sedated tiger is an amazing piece of cinematography. How dare they release 'The Red Dragon' just to fuel the franchise. Perhaps more loyal to Harris's book but once is enough to watch it. Norton is a fine actor but came across as weak and Fiennes does not even come close to Noonan's menacing performance. Also, an awesome soundtrack to Manhunter.
Titanboru 2 years ago 4
yeah just from watching Red Dragon clips I feel like Noonan did better as the villain, he is just more menacing, I mean he is 6 foot 6 and just does a scarier performance.
Joker3797 2 years ago
I agree. Edward Norton looked too young and innocent to play Graham. Graham is a character defined by the enormous weight he carries. He has an awareness of human evil that is useful yet agonizing to the point that it nearly destroyed his sanity. William Peterson is capable of delivering the gravity necessary for the role. Like the tooth fairy described him...... very "purposeful looking". Norton seemed out of his league as did Fiennes. Let's not even mention Harvey Keitel as Crawford. Yeesh!

@Titanboru Anthony Hopkins is easily the best Hannibal, but to be honest he's one of my favorite actors of all time so I suppose I'm a bit biast lol
MrMcConnon 2 years ago 2
@MrMcConnon I agree with you thoroughly. Hopkins delivers an astounding performance and is much better than Cox (a fine actor also). Though each actor approached the character differently, Hopkins will always be Hannibal. 'Silence of the Lambs' is a superb movie though I was not too keen on it's sequels.
Yet 'Manhunter' is the original classic that easily surpasses 'The Red Dragon'. Peterson and Noonan with the stylish vision of Mann makes the movie complete.

What are the holes in the script of manhunter? it's supposed to be riddled with them.
zarrow50 2 years ago
I'm sure there are a few holes in the script as there is in any other, but I thought 'Manhunter' had a very tight screenplay.
Maybe because the film was not loyal to Harris's book that critics jumped onto that notion. The ending is completely different but 'Manhunter' was only based on the book which doesn't confine how Mann wished to portray the story. Only after 'Silence of the Lambs' did most of the audience discover Harris's work and then compare the book 'TheRed Dragon' to 'Manhunter'.

Many films from the 80's out do the films of today - the mysterious systematic facets of this film are so reverent in cinema style unparalleled by mostly all films of today. I think Graham's Theme is a resplendent score that doesn't get enough credit as other film scores from that era of film. The film in and of itself is a true Michael Mann classic nonetheless!!!

Manhunter is definitely the better film, but I thought Red Dragon went into greater detail about Francis, his Jekyll-and-Hyde inner conflict and his relationship with Reba.
Manhunter was more about Graham, whereas Red Dragon was more about Dollarhyde.

Michael Mann's "The Keep" is one of my most favorite films from the 80's!!! This film has a lot of cinema appeal too!!! What a totally awesome dope track that "Graham's Theme" is altogether!! Man that dude "The Tooth Fairy" was a big crazed maniac. I give this film the All Out Two Thumbs Up over Silence of the Lambs!! Only the 80's could bring such an esoteric masterpiece to the world of cinema! Very moving and terrifying film that brought me to the edge of my seat!!!
DetroitLove4U 2 years ago 2
This ending is great although Dollarhyde's death scene was kinda pieced together a bit. I loved how obsessed Will was, so much so he jumped through a plate-glass window to attack Francis Dollarhyde and rescue Reba?! Ultimate prequel to CSI! lol!
adhfan75 2 years ago
Absolutely brilliant film; have watched countless times but still admire pace, choice of soundtrack titles, sincere quality of acting by all concerned and just sheer gripping horror of the forensic details and theme. A timeless classic and a masterclass movie for any director aspiring to follow in the footsteps of Michael Mann.

This is fucking classic movie scene. When Will Peterson comes crashing through that glass and the POW of the opening of the song, My GOD it stays with you forever!!!
One of Michael Mann's shining moments as a director IMO. And a big shout out to Tom Noonan, his best character next to the Axe Maniac in Last Action Hero.
The only problem with the movie I had was Brian Cox didn't do it for me as Hannibal despite being the first to portray him , Hopkins kind of blew him out of the water.
