Tony Perkins ought to be remembered as one of the greats of any era. And Norman is his masterpiece. It's still the yardstick for how to do disturbed: terrifying because of the pathos.
That's my favorite scene in that movie. Norman will never get rid of his mother. She will always be in his mind and tells him what to do and think. Thank you very much for uploading.
I laughed at the shovel part, the first time, and laughed even harder when I saw it last night, after many years. ",You're sure you won't have an sandwich,..("BWAAHMMMM!")"
This movie scared the hell out of me when I was a young kid. I remember jumping when he hit her in the back of the head with that shovel. Nightmare fuel. It was so horrifyingly realistically done.
I was also shocked when I first saw this because right up to that point, he hadn't killed anyone. But we should have seen something awful coming since Lila and Mary had caused Norman's insanity to return.
There's a small flashback to this scene in *Psycho III* but it's in black-and-white, yet it really ratchets up the creepiness of this scene. Plus, it almost makes it look like a deleted scene from the very first movie, one that would have fit well.
I love how Norman peeks out the door to see if anyone else is with her LOL!!!! FUNNY! TONY!!!! PHENOMENAL ACTOR !!! THE BEST- he adds so many layers ot each scene!!!! Kim
How have I only just noticed after all these years that Mrs Spool’s silhouette at the door is the same as Mother/Norman’s in the shower scene from the original movie? Even down to the raised right hand 😂
That whack of the shovel still makes me laugh out loud 😂😂😂 I remember watching this back in the day on VHS with my parents when I was about 13. My Mother asked me why I found that scene amusing 😂😂😂
Me and my buddy smoked some weed and watched this film in the theater in the 80's and when he hit his mom we both broke out in hysterics; not a single other person in the theater thought the scene was funny :) I was 16 or so.
I was 13 when it first aired on HBO. I laughed with some friends who saw it for hours. Would have been funnier if he took a few short practice swings first before nailing her.
Tips: if you visit someone and that person offers you tea, politely and nicely say no thankyou. 2nd: if there is a shovel, near by __ walk backwards and leave quickly. If you can come up with some more tips please tell.
And that whistle at the end like all is right in the world again lol. I'm sorry I know the original Psycho ending with the smile is iconic, but this ending for Psycho 2 needs to be looked at in the same level. To me its just as iconic
@@joelampo1 I once saw psycho 1, but yesterday at 00:00 I watched psycho 2 because it was on TV, it was normally a shiver, especially at the end of the movie...
I laughed so freaking hard at this ending. Not only did I not see it coming, but in the grand scheme of things it really puts things in perspective of his character. In a way he was doomed to be this broken. He had a chance at being a decent human being but his family ruined him and now it’s all he has left and thus relapses back into his old ways.

I recently posted a video to my channel in which I said that I find the ending of this movie to be more effective than anything in the first Psycho movie. I truly mean that. This ending is spectacular!
I watched this with my garandparents (1989) , god knows what they thought of me as I watched this scene ! Amazing film . best sequel ever made also guessing the longest gap too
the "you're sure you wouldn't like another sandwich" bit is a nod to the source novel for "psycho" by robert bloch (norman has drugged sam loomis's drink, and when he asks sam if he's sure he wouldn't like another one and sam says no, norman conks him over the head).
Little continuity error: When Norman hits her with the shovel at 2:59, he doesn't touch the lamp, and so it doesn't move. But in the next shot at 3:00, the lamp suddenly shakes.
Fun fact, this is technically the first time we see Norman decide and carry out a murder. In the first film, he was in the 'mother' persona, but also Anthony Perkins wasn't present during the filming of those murders, as we don't see his face.
I remember seeing this in the theater. I was a little disappointed as a teenager who was obsessed with the original "Psycho". Anthony Perkins did such a great job as the original Norman with Hitchcock's direction. I fell in love with Tony Perkins (I always fell in love with gay men back then, like lots of girls. I remember having an argument with a shopclerk when I was looking at a pink feather boa while wearing my latest Elton John t-shirt (I had dozens) and my star-shaped glasses and she said "you do know he's gay, don't you?" and I was so mad....and she followed me around telling me again and again how obvious it was, and I finally left the store. Ironic. Young women. We are very uncertain.
What i don’t understand in this scene is why did Norman just randomly ask Mrs Spool if she was really his Mother? I thought Norman only knew her as Mrs Spool who works in the diner?
@@joelampo1when did Mary tell him? Norman said my real Mother but didn’t say exactly who she was and Mary replied Mrs Bates was your real Mother and she’s dead.
@@johnreeveswilliamson7228 a part in the movie mary told him that Mrs spool was messing with Norman , that she was calling him. Depending on the scene, Mary was either telling Norman the truth or was trying to get him to snap out of his trances. So it depends on the scene but the overall truth was told to him close to the end of the film prior to the ending scene you see here
@@joelampo1 I don't remember that scene, for me the explanation is just that Norman was called throughout the movie by someone who pretended to be his real mother (it's Mrs Spools) and after briefly trying to resist he then fall into madness again and so when Mrs Spools arrives at the end he presumes that she is the one who called him all this time and so it's why he asked her that directly. What do you think of that ?
I noticed that actress playing Norman's other mother seemed to be looking right into the camera a few times during this scene. I'm not sure if this was an unintentional mistake or she was breaking the fourth wall.
@@Filmdude0 at 1:58 it looks like she's looking directly at the camera for a few seconds but I don't think she is, it just looks like that as the camera is further away from her than the rest of the scene It's specifically when she says "She never mentioned me, did she?"
You just can’t keep a good mother down it was his mother drove him crazy most mum do but murder is no answer Poor Norman trouble is he can escape his messed up mind
@@joelampo1 I do the same with Terminator 2 ending or Halloween 1978...because the sequels are just nonsense. Halloween h20 is ok but so many of those sequels are rubbish
@@shanefolan9175they could stick to the anthology idea after third movie i think that would give us more Halloween stories More protagonists more villains but sadly after third movie they dropped it and Halloween ended with having only two villains Michael in first two movies and Conal Cochran in the third one
@@bpregont same ! the 3 is over the top, too much 80s, but solid explanation about his mother's sister being crazy and manipulates him, but in the end the 3 a bad movie nonetheless, but the 4 is very good (very sad scenes when norman is young and bullied by his mother, very hard to watch) and with an unexpected happy ending (which is nice because the norman's story is very dark)
@@ColdNumbzThePain Norman is so damaged from the scars his mother caused that anyone who says they are or resembles his mother, his first instinct is to murder that person. He doesn't see himself as the problem, he saw his mother as the one doing everything and he was just the innocent child
@@joelampo1 and don't you also think that he was mad at her for marry's death ? Look at her face when she said that she had to take care of those women who wanted to make him crazy again (he looks sad and angry), so he killed her to avenge marry's death then put her at her place like he did before with Mrs Bates.
I'm glad to see someone else is just as puzzled about that as I have always been. All the other murders in part one and two had motives I could see. But this one? Why Norman, why? Other than "he went crazy again". But that would be like him stabbing the mailman outside. No motive. No point. But some of the replies here help a little bit. Some of the calls Norman got were from Emma his "real" mother. And from Norman's responses to her on the phone, she did sound like she was pretty domineering just like Norma was. So maybe Norman killed her to be able to control her instead of being controlled all over again as before. In any case, a very sad ending to a very good movie.
Yes I've read up on this, the lady does take the hit, she had padding under the wig then it changes to a stuntman who does the fall. They cut out the actual chair break so it mustn't have looked too great.
Perkins was such an underrated actor. That little lean forward he does as she sips the tea. He was always beautifully unsettling.
I agree. Its like he falling apart at the seams with anticipation to watch his craft unfold
Even his gesture at shutting the door, after letting Ms. Spool in (This isn't going to go down like you think it is, Mother)
Tony Perkins ought to be remembered as one of the greats of any era. And Norman is his masterpiece. It's still the yardstick for how to do disturbed: terrifying because of the pathos.
@@geenadasilva9287 Agreed. He was a joy to watch. I was fortunate to pick up his autograph from when he did The Black Hole, another understated turn.
Underrated? Lol you don’t even know what this word means
Absolutely one of the BEST and MOST UNEXPECTED endings EVER in a movie!!!!!
He didn’t want to wait for the poison to work. just couldn’t hold it. No impulse control in old Norm.
22 years later, Norman Bates is home, and “Mother” is waiting for him.
That's my favorite scene in that movie.
Norman will never get rid of his mother.
She will always be in his mind and tells him what to do and think.
Thank you very much for uploading.

God he was such a good actor. Nobody else could play him.

@@joelampo1 I agree 👍👍
Have a good day 😻😻
That Psycho reboot should be deleted from the voide of existence

One of the Best movies ever❤

When visiting Norman Bates, never accept anything to drink, and run if you see a shovel in the kitchen since that's the proper place to find one.
The best thing when I first watched this movie was not what I expected with this shovel

How to properly care for an elderly relative ☺️👍

3:00 Norman “nighty night”
3:28 This part shows Norman as a ghost as he appears in the scene outside of his house!
Did Norman know that a “toasted cheese sandwich” is just a grilled cheese sandwich? Well, I’m not gonna tell him!! 🫢
Toasted honestly makes more sense since you’re not technically cooking it on a grill (usually)
I love he had the shovel ready at hand 😂
Fun fact, this is technically the first time we see Norman decide and carry out a murder. In the first film, he was in the 'mother' persona, but also Anthony Perkins wasn't present during the filming of those murders, as we don't see his face.
Don't ask for a Sandwich 😂
or a tea
"Sure you don't wanna sandwich?"
- UGH!
*BONG!*
So polite of him
We all go a little Mad sometimes
Jesus, lady! Save yourself the trouble and just accept the damn cheese sandwich.
It just didn't seem to register to her brain. Norman took care of that 😊
I remember seeing this in the theater. I was a little disappointed as a teenager who was obsessed with the original "Psycho".

Would you like to share my toasted cheese sandwich? Has to be the line of the century
Psycho, psycho 2 and psycho 4 Are my favorite horror movies
No Psycho 3 is well done. Directed by Mr Perkins.
Psycho 4 could of been better I like all of them
The 3rd one wasn’t bad either the 4th one was ok
I'm surprised you don't like the third one. It certainly has more murders. It does, however, have too much skin for some people.
4 is arse
That's what all the politicians need in this country.

If you look closely and pause, that also wasn’t the real Mrs. Spool who began falling. It’s a wig either on a stunt double or a dummy.
