Ok, this has been nagging away without me being able to put my finger on it, but now I have.

The timeline of the films is:
Red Dragon
Silence of The Lambs
Hannibal

Now, they made Silence first. Then Hannibal. And a big part of the plot of Hannibal, the reason he was identified and caught by Verger was Hannibal having 6 fingers on his hand.
"He's wearing a glove to conceal it" hisses Verger, having recieved an X-ray from a European doctor in Hannibal.

Now they couldn't very well go back and change Silence of The Lambs to give him a CGI extra finger, I understand that.
Yet in Red Dragon, set before Hannibal yet made after - he still only has 5 fingers.

So what then? He sprouted his exta finger between hanging up the phone after talking about "having an old friend for dinner" at the end of Silence and appearing in Florence in Hannibal? Cos he sure dont have extra fingers in Silence.
But if that's the case, how did they get an x-ray of his hand during his stay at Cheasapeake Mental Hospital?

Silly little inconsistencies.
