As a homage to the original; when Norman carries Marion's dead body, wrapped in the shower curtain to the car, you can see her bra strap through the curtain. See more...

In the concluding moments of the film (and during the closing credits) the police officers and detectives investigating the murder act rather strangely. After the victim's car is dragged out of the swamp, even though they now know that the body is in the car's trunk, no one bothers to open the trunk. No one even pays much attention to the car. The tow truck just hauls the vehicle away with the body still crumpled up inside. The car is pulled out of shot for a moment, but it's not a long enough period of time for the trunk to have been opened or for the body to have been removed. This may simply be a very poorly run police force. Most police operations would have remained on the scene for hours more and a coroner would have been present. [You just answered your own mistake. This may have been a poorly run police force. On the other hand, knowing the body is in the trunk, it would be easier to take the car to the forensics lab intact, rather than taking the body out of the crime scene, and possibly destroying evidence.]

When Norman is putting Marion's body in the trunk of the car, it's almost dawn, but, when he's sinking the car in the swamp it's late night again. [I actually thought it was a mistake too, until I realized that Norman didn't turn off the blue neon lights. Dawn starts after the car is thrown in te water.]

After Marion is stabbed in the shower at Bates' Motel, she slides down the wall inside the bathtub As her shoulder moves, the wall has blood on it behind her. In the next sequence, when she falls over, the blood is not on the wall anymore. [As Marion slides down towards the floor, you can see the blood being washed away as the water keeps falling from the shower head, so by the time Marion falls dead onto the floor, it is gone.]
