  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Subverted; the opening scene, with Bob and Marie in Mardi Gras, almost feels tacked on, until the pair pop up later in the bayou and become hostages.
  • Padding: This thing seems more a tourism brochure for the Louisiana Bayou than an actual movie.
  • Retroactive Recognition: This was before Connors became better known for Mannix.
  • Special Effects Failure: Part of the scene in which Marie is killed by an alligator quite obviously takes place in a very clean, very clear, very chlorinated pool.
  • Tearjerker: When the Nardo girls start talking about what they're going to do with their share of the loot, none of them are interested in wallowing in their wealth — they want to get revenge for the killing of their lovers. It's the most human thing you see from them, and they really did care about their partners.
