The Ingenue: Pila is very innocent but also fiercely protective of Gagin and saves him on several occasions.

Bittersweet Ending: Gagin doesn’t get his revenge but is a better person. He gives Pila a chaste kiss on the cheek and rides off on the Greyhound bus to nowhere in particular.

Brownface: Hendrix plays a Mexican girl in Brown Face. Contrarily, Thomas Gomez was Latin American, but not Mexican.

Chiaroscuro: Although an “exotic” setting, the film takes place mostly in the dimly lit black and white shades of night.

Go Seduce My Archnemesis: Hugo sends his girlfriend to seduce Gagin and pretend she’s on his side. She makes a rather unconvincing Femme Fatale as her little plan doesn’t work as well as she had hoped.
