* EndingFatigue: The final half of the {{Denouement}} basically consists of the judge ramming his philosophy down the throats of Paula's parents for the remainder of the runtime.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Paula is treated as a TragicVillain driven to crime by ParentalNeglect.

* ValuesResonance: One of the movie's more famous scenes has Paula and company gang-rape a man. Notably, this is ''not'' played for laughs or titillation; it's treated as just as horrifying as it would be if the genders were reversed, with the victim genuinely traumatized and the crime being portrayed in-universe as one of the perpetrators' most evil deeds. In an era of female-on-male sexual assault being increasingly understood as no less terrible than the other way around, this notable early aversion of [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale the usual double standards]] has been singled out as genuinely praiseworthy and ahead of its time.

* WhatAnIdiot: The cops apparently just haven't learned to [[PoliceAreUseless actually look at the suspect they're trying to tail]]. Also, they seem to have [[TooDumbToLive no ability to turn right]].
