Trivia
The reflection of young Norman Bates in the doorknob when he flashes back to his mother's poisoning is Anthony Perkins' son Osgood Perkins.

Goofs
There is a vertical window on the side wall of the front entry (to the left as you face the door) which is often clearly seen illuminated in exterior shots. However when interior scenes of the front entry are shown, there are solid walls and no windows on either side of the entry way.

Quotes
Norma Bates: Remember, Norman. I'm the one who loves you. Only your Mother truly loves you.

Crazy credits

The television version includes various extra takes, including one when Norman is on the porch of the house and he says goodbye to Dr. Raymond.

One of the best sequels known to man

When I went to my local video store a year and half ago, I noticed that there were no less than four "psycho" movies there. Having seen the original, I figured that they would all be cash-ins. Two weeks ago I finally hired psycho 2 in to finally prove my point to myself. I was wrong. This movie has everything a sequel to psycho could need. A great plot (probably better than the first one's), excellent direction, and great acting. Perkins is so much better here than in the original psycho that one can't help thinking it's a shame that he passed away. There are heaps of reasons to see this movie, and very few not to if you're a suspense fan. If you liked the original you'll love this, and even if you didn't you'll still love it.
