Visible crew/equipment: After the opening titles, Buffy and her friends are shown at the mall in an overhead shot and the boom mic casts a shadow on the floor.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Fran Rubel Kuzui
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Hilary Swank, Rutger Hauer, Kristy Swanson, Paul Reubens, Luke Perry
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)
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.
