** You mean that they're the actions of the ''villains''? You're not supposed to support them, or agree with them, or sympathise with them. ''They're the bad guys''. They do bad things to good people, and the good people suffering these things are the ones we are supposed to support. StarWars didn't promote telekinetic stranglings.

** Rocket's outfit is probably the closest in comparision with her dance costume, as it's basically a less glittery and more streamlined version of her nurse's outfit, although she now has a bandana on her head instead of a nurse's hat.

** They are also attacking those in the dark to the ultimate end of taking back their own life, which Sweat Pea ultimately does.

** Also the plan itself is almost laughably reckless. Each time the girls went to steal something, it was obvious who the culprit would be. Blue would know Sweet Pea took the map since she was hanging around his office. Likewise Amber would be the obvious suspect for stealing the lighter as she was the one entertaining the mayor. And it would have been obvious that the girls took the knife from the cook. And the key was on Blue's person so ''that'' would have been obvious too. However Babydoll only had five days. She had no time to come up with a better plan. And even if they hadn't been caught, they still would have had the items and enough time to escape (presumably they'd be making a break for it immediately after taking the key).

* All of the fantasy sequences happen ''because of Dr Gorsky''. When we first see the asylum theatre, she's delivering her therapy, which involves her telling the patient that they are safe, and in control of their world - which is exactly what they start off as providing. IIRC it's Sweet Pea, which would reinforce the theory that the brothel world is her fantasy, where she is the star and can make demands on others. Because of Babydoll's influence in the asylum world, she begins to realise the false empowerment of the brothel world too, which leads to it falling apart.

** Well, apparently Snyder did say none of the girls actually got killed, so it's likely that in reality, Gorsky intervened and took them out of the room after catching Blue yelling at them.

** If considering the urban legend of "some asylums are in fact cover up front for prisons" and the IRL "Rosenhan Experiment" , also the era where this was set in place.....It's possible that , Rocket run away , got in some trouble with law , and been "sent to the facility" While Sweet Pea , who , went after her , either voluntary or "caught as accomplice" , also end up there.

* [[spoiler:Sweet Pea being the true protagonist of the film. It may initially seem like an {{ass pull}}, but it's hinted at early into the film--she's the girl sitting on the bed in the "theater" (in the exact position Baby Doll was in the beginning of the film), rehearses the lobotomy scene as the patient, and is the "star" of the brothel. Like Baby Doll, she isn't supposed to be in the asylum, but unlike Baby Doll, Sweet Pea (who is the remaining survivor of the team alongside Baby Doll) appears to be the only girl who has a place to return to--a family.]]
** [[spoiler: Sweet Pea is also wearing a blonde pig tail wig, in the same style as Baby Doll when she's up on stage.]]
** [[spoiler: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8qBHeSk_OY deleted scene]] shows that Sweet Pea's dance is themed on what appears to be a witch-burning, and ends with her wearing angel wings and rising from the flames.]]
** [[spoiler: She is the NarratorAllAlong. For the matter, the way she narrates is the way narrating protagonist in some films do.]]
* [[MeaningfulName The nickname]] '''Baby Doll''' refers to both a toy for kids and [[TheIngenue a cute girl or woman with youngish looks.]] In the end, [[spoiler: Baby Doll is lobotomized, becoming an EmptyShell UncannyValleyGirl and the man who wants to ''[[RapeAsDrama play with her]]'' [[PsychopathicManchild does not take well to this]] and [[LaserGuidedKarma is punished for it.]] ]]

* The very first scene in the brothel has Sweet Pea complaining that while a helpless mental patient can be sexy, a lobotomized girl isn't, [[spoiler:which is exactly Blue's frustration when attempting to rape post-lobotomy Baby Doll. Arguably, Baby Doll took Sweet Pea's comment to heart and submitted to the lobotomy [[MeaninglessVillainVictory knowing it would ruin Blue's plans for her.]]]]

** Also, [[spoiler: like all the other tools the woman use to escape the asylum she's shiny, just like the lighter they use, which also glows gold after being stolen...]]
* The only blood seen in the movie is in the asylum and beginning, never in the brothel or fantasy. [[spoiler: Considering that the brothel and fantasy are both dreams and not real, the fact that the blood only shows up in the reality is somewhat brilliant.]]

** "Tomorrow Never Knows" plays during the final fantasy mission where the girls have to retrieve the bomb in a certain amount of time. [[spoiler: Unknowingly, a {{Mook}} apparently survived their onslaught and foils their victory, causing the mission to fail at the cost of Rocket's life]].

* Since the events of the hallucinations are implied to have happened in the real world (under more realistic context), [[spoiler:one can only wonder how Blue killed Amber and Blondie and attempted to rape Baby Doll.]]
** Well, apparently Snyder did say [[spoiler:none of the girls actually got killed,]] so it's likely that in reality, [[spoiler:Gorsky intervened and took them out of the room after catching Blue yelling at them.]]
** Either that or they [[spoiler:got lobotomized like Baby Doll, becoming brain-dead, a sort of "mental death"]].
* Since [[spoiler:Sweet Pea has only ever been seen in the fantasy brothel]] but at the end of the movie [[spoiler:it's revealed that a member of the asylum did escape]], there's a possibility that she's in the asylum for a reason.
