* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Vic would be a villain in any other post-apocalyptic story, given he is explicitly looking for ''rape'' targets when the story begins. Blood is essentially his enabler. Quilla is [[spoiler:willing to murder as a first resort if things aren't going her way]]. Nobody else who has a name is any better.

* HilariousInHindsight: The android henchman is named Michael, who is mute, large in size, immensely strong, highly resistant to bullets, moves very slowly, has a chalk-white (due to the makeup he wears) emotionless face, and can brutally kill people with just his bare hands. Three years after the film adaptation was released, [[Film/Halloween1978 another movie]] would use a character with this same description as its antagonist.

* HarsherInHindsight: In 1977, a couple of years after the film adaptation was released, a mentally unstable man named David Berkowitz (also known as the "Son of Sam") murdered several people, allegedly under the orders of a dog that could speak to him. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?
