The famous shower scene in this film ended up influencing a major sequence of another very controversial, R-rated film released b Universal almost a generation later: Brian De Palma's "Scarface". De Palma was impressed that the PSYCHO shower scene hinted at horrifying carnage but didn't actually SHOW explicit nudity and gore, and used similar quick-cut elements for a scene in SCARFACE where a man is dismembered by a chainsaw-wielding Colombian drug dealer while handcuffed to the top of a shower stall. Fans of each movie ended up feeling that there was much more gore than they actually saw, thanks to smart editing and cinematography. In fact, the chainsaw scene ended up being a minor footnote in the ultimately-successful battle by De Palma and Universal to get SCARFACE an R rating instead of the initial X it was given; the MPAA only asked De Palma to make one edit from that scene, and De Palma had forgotten the unacceptable image (of a severed arm) was there at all and happily cut it out of the movie.
