Trivia:
|
- Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock film remade the same year: Rear Window.
- 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.
- During filming, Gus Van Sant brought along a DVD player and played the original Psycho, and they acted from that. When he spotted a mistake (a door opening without a key), van Sant decided to put the same mistake into his film.
- 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.
- When Norman Bates cleans the bathroom, the blood on the shower wall has disappeared. This copies a continuity error in the original.

Credits Fun:

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