Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy,(Kristy Swanson) a high school cheerleader, gets a visit by a stranger, Donald Sutherland, who tells Buffy, that she is destined to be a vampire slayer. So, Sutherland teaches Buffy the art of vampire slaying. In the mean time, Buffy meats a boy at school, (Luke Perry)who falls for Buffy, just in time for the bad guy Lothos, (Rutger Hauer) to show up and start wrecking havoc at the high school. Lothos starts being a pest, by sending vampires to kill Buffy, played by Paul aka (Pee-Wee Herman) Reubens. Also one of the students is a young Hilary Swank (The Core).

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is out shopping for her dress and Pike is on his bike beside her, they stop to talk and have an argument. Buffy walks off and Pike turns his bike around to drive off, but as he does this, his bike suddenly moves a few feet away from the wall he was right next to in the previous shot. (01:01:05)

More trivia for Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Question: I've been wanting to finally watch the TV series, but I've never understood one thing... I know the movie is technically not 100% canonical with the series, but I've heard they later tried to connect it with the series with a comic-book adaptation. So should I watch the movie before the series? Or should I just go ahead and watch the series on its own, and treat the movie as an entirely separate "thing"? Or can it be done either way?

Answer: I'd say you treat them as 2 separate things. My personal opinion is that you should just watch the series and forget about the movie.
