Trivia Facts | Top Quotes | Goofs/Mistakes

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the first classroom scene when Buffy doesn't have her own textbook, she shares Cordelia's. The teacher asks them open to page 63, but Cordelia opens the book almost at the beginning.
Goof (continuity error): When Buffy and Giles are talking about Sunnydale he hands her a series of books with the spine toward her, but when she hands the books back to him the spines are toward Giles.
Goof (plot holes): SPOILER: Buffy is looking for Jesse in a mausoleum when Angel appears behind her, bathed in sunlight.
Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: Luke feeds on several people on stage at the Bronze, then lets them fall lifeless to the floor. Yet after Buffy kills Luke, an overhead shot of the stage area shows no bodies lying on the floor.
Goof (plot holes): Cordelia says they're going to The Bronze that night because there's no cover, yet the bouncer is counting a handful of cash when the vamps show up.
Goof (continuity error): Cordelia gets out of the Driver's Ed car and shuts the door. In the next scene, the door is open, and when the truck hits it, it slams the door shut, although the door was, as far as we have seen, already shut.
Goof (continuity error): While Buffy, Willow and Xander are in the lab making the witch revealing potion, Willow pours the finalized mixture into a test tube and fills the tube to the top. When Buffy takes the tube, it is barely a 1/4 full.
Goof (continuity error): When Amy arrives home after school on the day the test reveals her as a witch, she walks through a short gate in front of her porch and slams it closed. In the next shot, you can clearly see the gate behind Amy and it is standing wide open.
Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Cordelia is driving, there is a crew member in the back of the car.
Goof (continuity error): Buffy finds the science teachers glasses on the floor, and she puts them on the table. In one shot she places them with the legs folded out right side up, and then in the close-up, the legs are folded in. In the next shot, the glasses are upside down on the table.
Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Cordelia opens the refrigerator in the cafeteria and sees the teacher, she screams "His head! Where's his head?" however, when they show her face right before she finishes speaking, her mouth isn't moving.
Goof (continuity error): When Ms. French is making her sandwich the sleeves on her sweater go from being pushed up around her elbows to down to her wrists between shots.
Goof (continuity error): At the conclusion of the episode, Owen is trying to set up another date with Buffy. In the background a woman in a red and black jacket carrying a red bag walks up the stairs. Seconds later, in the next shot of Owen, the same woman is walking up the stairs without the bag. Seconds after that, in the next shot of Buffy, the same woman with the same red bag on her shoulder is walking by at ground level.
Goof (revealing mistake): At the funeral home, when the new vampire awakens, his reflection can be seen in the glass cabinet doors behind him.
Goof (continuity error): When Angel, Willow and Xander are talking to Buffy and Owen, Buffy's height constantly changes between shots. Sometimes she's standing on a platform (so she can fit in the same shot as the super-tall Owen), sometimes she's not.
Goof (revealing mistake): At the funeral home, when Buffy and Giles open up the different drawers to look for the Bretheren, they open the same drawer every time. The crew made a few changes in the background and Buffy is probably on a platform the second time she looks, but it's the same. You can tell by the smudges on the inside of the door.
Goof (factual errors): When Willow is watching the hyena footage on her computer in the library, most of the footage of the animals tearing at a carcass is actually of African wild dogs, not hyenas. Only the close-up footage initially is hyenas.
Goof (continuity error): When Buffy picks Herbet the mascot up and walks with principal Flutie the 'razorback' is tied on by string, yet when they go to enter the room with his cage in it, the string has disappeared and the 'razorback' is lying against Buffy's chest.
Goof (continuity error): When Buffy returns to the library dragging an unconscious Xander, a deadbolt can be seen on the right-hand library door. It was not there when she left (or at any time before this).
Goof (revealing mistake): The Hyena exhibit is a very dangerous design. There is no guardrail or similar barrier to keep visitors at a safe distance. Anyone can walk up to the bars and get mauled, as the bars are wide enough for people to stick their arms or legs through. In fact, the bars are so wide apart that not only could skinny people or children squeeze completely through, but the hyenas could simply walk out of their exhibit.
Goof (factual errors): Willow is looking up videos of hyenas feeding; while the first video is correct, the following videos are not of hyenas, but actually of African wild dogs.
Goof (continuity error): When Buffy and Giles are speaking with the zoo keeper, she is wearing a blue suede coat. She is wearing the same coat when she rescues the family in the car by getting the pack to follow her to the zoo. While running through the woods she is seen wearing the same coat but when she gets to the hyena exhibit, she is wearing a brown suede coat instead.
Goof (crew or equipment visible): Near the end when Buffy enters The Bronze it is closed. As she gets to the bottom of the steps the shot changes, as it changes, a person is visible hiding behind the pool table. The person's foot pops out at on the right.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Angel says that he hasn't fed on a living human since the day he was cursed with a soul. But, we find out later in Angel that he fed off of criminals for a while to try to pretend like he was still evil. He even turned a man in a flashback to WWII. However, it is possible that Angel just didn't want to get into an explanation about this.
Goof (revealing mistake): When the Three first attack Buffy, she and Angel rush back to her house and one of the Three manages to put his hand through her door, crossing the threshold. As they have not been invited, this could not have happened.
Goof (factual errors): Towards the end, Darla fires over 40 rounds from two semi-auto pistols without reloading. The pistols used were single-stacked, using standard magazines, and couldn't possibly hold 20+ rounds each.
Goof (revealing mistake): After Malcolm scans through the student database looking for Buffy, he sends the information to Fritz's computer. Before the information pops up on Fritz's screen, a normal Macintosh desktop can be seen with a folder icon labeled "Buffy...I, Robot". This folder's window is open and the folders inside labeled "Scene 10", "Scene 11", and "Scene 12" can be seen. The menu bar disappears as the application that runs the computer's animation begins and is replaced with a different menu bar.
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the opening scene, one of the monks says an Italian word incorrectly. He states "viene" when in fact the correct wording to use would have been "vieni".
Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Willow "signs off" her chat with Malcolm by pressing the power button on the monitor. All this would do is turn off the monitor. The computer would still be on, and still connected.
Goof (revealing mistake): You see Malcolm scrolling through student profiles looking for Buffy, but if you play the scene in slow motion you see him scroll past the same student photos (including Buffy's) several time before finding her.
