Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSpike's trademark coat cost $2,000 from a top fashion store. It was then run over repeatedly by a truck to give it that distressed look.
- GoofsIn nearly every episode presented in widescreen, there is crew/equipment visible and/or revealing mistakes. This is because the series was originally shot for 4:3 frame and these issues would not have been visible as the show was originally intended to be presented. As such, one should take much of the goofs reported on episodes as being conditional on applying only to the widescreen alternate version.
- Quotes
Rupert Giles: In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.
- Crazy creditsThe sequence with the Mutant Enemy mascot, the little monster that goes "Grr Argh" at the end of all episodes, was changed for a total of six episodes: in "Becoming Part Two" (#2.22) it said, 'Oh, I need a hug." in "Amends" (#3.10) it wore a Santa hat and bells were jingling. in "Graduation Day Part Two" (#3.22) it wore a graduation cap. in "Once More With Feeling" (#6.07) it sang its "Grr Argh." in "Storyteller" (#7.16) it sang, "We are as gods." in "Chosen" (#7.22) it looked out at the viewers instead of looking straight-forward.
- Alternate versionsIn the French and Spanish dubs of the series, Xander's name is changed to Alex.
- ConnectionsEdited into Angel: Unaired Pilot (2003)
- SoundtracksBuffy the Vampire Slayer Theme
Performed by Nerf Herder
Featured review
Does anyone else have to defend their love of this show?
I'm a 50 year old British straight man, married with a kid ....and apparently I'm not supposed to like this. According to my 18 year old son anyway.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe the title of the show puts people off.
This is a stand out show.
This show has some of the most creative episodes, characters and moral dilemmas I've ever seen. The show is terrific entertainment but the craftsmanship and the way it is structured is still so very strong... and often imitated.
This show deserves to be held in much higher regard.
There hasn't been anything like Buffy since it aired, and so it lives on, and so it should.
Truly wonderful experience... although no-one believes me.... in my house anyway.
Their loss :-)
