Besides the popularity of the giant genre, was Attack of the 50ft Woman meant to illustrate anything in particular? In a very short ananlysis of what the film might be saying, it has been rumored that Nancy's giant growth and rampage after her husband shows that women tend to blow things out of proportion. But, tired of her husband's repeated unfaithfulness, it can be argued that her rage is justified. Nevertheless, in her large predicament she finds a violent way to address the problem. Which leads to another suspician around her last name, Archer, which ultimately leads the mind to the bow and arrow. The surname is Harry's, thus Nancy's through marriage, and their marital problems, while not shown as outwardly violent, appear to often be screaming matches. So, with troubles like theirs and a last name to match, it isn't so much a surprise that their problems resolve in the violence of death.
