- "Come on, the guy was colder than Hannibal Lecter in there."
- ―Agent Malcolm Barrett[src]
The Silence of the Lambs was a popular movie on Earth. In 2004, Agent Malcolm Barrett compared Dr. Keffler to Hannibal Lecter. (SG1: "Resurrection")
Behind the scenes[]
- According to the DVD commentaries of "Chain Reaction", there are many references to the movie in the episode. As Lecter does with Clarice in the movie, Harold Maybourne refers to quid pro quo, should Colonel Jack O'Neill really want to get help from him. Another reference is the final telephone conversation between O'Neill and Maybourne, the latter calling from an exotic place, just as Lecter called Clarice Starling at the end of The Silence of the Lambs.
- In "Vegas" the way in which Todd is imprisoned, along with his words and mannerisms, is highly reminiscent of Hannibal Lecter, although they speak in poetic ways for different reasons (Lecter being a cruel man, Todd being delirious from hunger).
