Trivia:
|
- The exterior motel set was the same one used in the original Psycho. However, the house was a new set constructed directly in front of the old house on the backlot at Universal Studios. On completion of filming, they moved this second house alongside the first for the backlot tour.
- Gus Van Sant makes a cameo talking to someone looking just like Alfred Hitchcock in the beginning of the movie when Marion Crane enters the office after her lunch break. In the original version of Psycho, Hitchcock had a cameo in the same scene.
- In the famous shower scene where Anne Heche's character is stabbed to death, blood on the shower tiles, the knife, and Heche's wounds were all digitally added after filming to enhance the shock value.
- A sign for the Bates Motel reads "Newly Renovated."
- The last frame in the film is a skull that is superimposed over Vince Vaughn's face. This is the same skull used in the last frame of Psycho, superimposed over Anthony Perkins's face.

- Thanks to John Woo for use of his kitchen knife.
- The logo for Imagine drips in blood instead of water.
- If you look closely at the swamp after the end credits, the water turns red, obviously to blood.
