** This is parodied in the remake, when Joanna is outright horrified to walk into Bobbie's now spotless kitchen, a complete 180° from the mess it's been before. Without even seeing Bobbie yet, Joanna realizes that she's fallen victim to the Stepford phenomenon too.

** There's something disturbing about the way the camera pans over the doubles larger breasts, like it emphasizes the monstrous, shallow pettiness behind it's creation even more. If you're already going to replace your intelligent, independent wife with a submissive robot, might as well spruce up other parts as well, right Walter?
** The last we see of Joanna is her staring in horror as her robot double approaches her with a serene, empty smile, while clutching a nylon stocking in her hands, preparing to pull a KillAndReplace on her. It then cuts to the Stepford grocery store where "Joanna" is shopping, dressed exactly like the other Stepford wives, vacantly greeting the other wives as they wander among the store shelves. [[TheBadGuyWins The credits show a smiling, unapologetic Walter picking her up in the family car.]]
