I've never understood how Lecter got Chilton's gold pen. He was completely restrained by that point. Is the implication that Lecter can move objects with his mind?

I know that but how did Hannibal get the pen into his hands and use it to escape when he was already restrained?

I know it was left in his cell. It was left in his cell after he was already restrained for travel and taken out of his cell. He was not released from his restraints with the pen in his cell.

They mentioned this bit in the commentary, and it was the first time I ever noticed it. Iirc, they admit they bullshitted a little and hoped people wouldn't care.

I thought that was fascinating, because it worked so well on me - it's such a blatant plot hole, in the true, non CinemaSins bullshit sense, but the movie's so engaging it hardly matters.

Oh, thanks for that. Right, it's not terribly distracting and lends a little supernatural element to Lecter.

I don't think Barney would do that. He knows how dangerous Lecter is. That's why he's so polite to him. He would have known that giving Lecter any means to escape is as good as killing someone yourself.
