Trivia / Ma

• Actor Allusion: There's plenty of Les Yay between Maggie and Hayley, including a Forceful Kiss initiated by the latter. Diana Silvers also received a Forceful Kiss from a girl in Booksmart, though she reacted much better there.
• Playing Against Type: Explicitly why Octavia Spencer accepted the role, stating that she was tired being typecast as the Token Black Friend or the subservient black woman overcoming white racism.
• What Could Have Been: The movie originally ended with Ma chopping off each teen's head and sewing them on different bodies. You can see why they changed it.
