Continuity mistake: Hannibal incinerates Zigmas Milko's dead body with his (Milko's) dog tag in his (Milko's) mouth. When Hannibal confronts Grutas while he (Grutas) is bathing, Hannibal tosses a dog tag at him, which should be Grutas' own. Soon after however, the camera shows the very same dog tag that was supposed to have been incinerated with Milko: "Zigmas Milko 03402810 3/ INFRGT33". (01:28:25 - 01:30:55)

Continuity mistake: When Hannibal is at the writing desk, he sits with a pencil in his left hand. A banker comes in to the chateau to speak with his aunt, and the camera shows Hannibal listening in to the conversation. While this is happening, he puts the pencil down. There is a quick cut to a different angle, and the pencil is in his hand again, with no time to pick it up, and the next shot shows him putting the pencil down again.

Continuity mistake: Hannibal has captured the first man from the gang who killed his sister and has tied him to a tree. The way the rope is tied around the man changes throughout the scene. (01:00:35)

Question: Hannibal is shot in the back, then turned over as the villian plunges a knife into Hannibal's thigh three times, saying, "He's paralysed, he can't feel this." But Hannibal stands up and is perfectly fine. There's no damage from the bullet or the knife. How is this possible?

Chosen answer: Hannibal has the Japanese dagger on his back, and when he gets it out you can see there is a bullet hole on it indicating that the bullet hit the dagger. Grutas just pokes Hannibal in the leg with the knife, he doesn't actually stab him, it doesn't even tear his clothes.
