** Malla states that she and her mother were abducted from their tribe and sold into slavery in America when she was a child. If the move is meant to occur in the same year it was released (1960) this would mean that she was born in 1808, the year in which the transatlantic slave trade was banned in America by federal law.

Though there's always been persistent speculation that there were some slaves illegally smuggled in after the ban was put in effect, so it's not impossible, but very improbable.

* TooDumbToLive: Apparently the restoration of her youth shaved off a few dozen of Malla's IQ points. "Well, I ''had'' been having psychic dreams about you becoming a murderer, but since I'm young now, I don't really care any more. Think I'll go get laid - seize the day, you know. Anyway, you've got free rein of the village 'til we execute you and your heavily-armed boyfriend tomorrow! Ta!"

* AssholeVictim: June's last tie to morality after she starts killing seems to be her choice of victims, most of whom were crimes of passion. Talbot's an obvious example. Sally was threatening to kill her if she didn't leave. David the hunter is where she first went over the slippery slope, but he did reject her. The one time she kills in completely cold blood, her victim is the con artist who tries to kill her for the jewelry she wore as bait[[note]] it '''could''' be called self-defense, but again she was luring him in for this explicit purpose[[/note]] -- the film even spends a few minutes showing her rejecting the chance to ensnare the happy drunkard she meets earlier.
