Revealing mistake: When young Norman Bates is spying through the peephole on his mother, who has brought home a man to the motel, we see him in the shower. Although the curtain is translucent, we can see he is wearing a black speedo.

Continuity mistake: Norman pours poison into the pitcher of iced tea. In the next shot, we see him carrying the pitcher and two full glasses on a tray - but the level of liquid in the pitcher hasn't changed, even though he's supposedly filled the glasses from it. Later, when the pitcher is sitting on Mother's dresser, the pitcher's level is lower, but no one has poured anything from it. (01:00:05)
Norman: I know that in the cosmic scheme of things, little boys are small, but some days they can be... some days little boys can be giants.
