Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Phases - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Willow shows up at Oz's house to talk, her hair keeps switching back and forth between being behind her back or in front of her shoulders.

Killed By Death - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: While Buffy is in the hospital, they zoom in on the bedside clock changing from 2:26 to 2:27. In the next shot of Buffy, you can see the clock in the background and it reads 12:15.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Willow is interrogating Jonathan, she makes a comment about how he resented being pushed around. In the first shot, she's facing him. It then cuts to the opposite angle, and she's facing sideways. Then, in the very next shot, she suddenly turns 180 degrees between cuts after walking by him.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Willow, and Cordy are talking at the swim meet (after Gage waves at Buffy), the way Buffy is holding her hands changes back and forth between two positions as it cuts between her and Cordy. Seems two different takes were used, and she had her hands in slightly different positions in them.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is spying on Gage, she picks up a magazine to blend in. A few shots later, she's suddenly holding a completely different magazine. She didn't pick up a different one between cuts. It's supposed to be the same one.

TedStixon

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: After Willow says that the student was killed by being opened up like an Oreo "except without the chocolaty cookie goodness," Buffy's hands go from together to apart instantly between cuts. She then puts her hands back together only for them to be apart again in the next shot.

TedStixon

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is complaining to the others about getting in trouble over hurting Cameron in the library, her hands go back and forth from down by her sides to holding her hips between cuts a few times.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Cameron is about to say "You like it rough" to Buffy near the start, you can tell he's starting to reach for her. It then cuts to the opposite angle and he starts to reach for her a second time.

TedStixon

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is talking to Cameron in his car near the start, the amount of light on Cameron's face coming through the windshield changes between cuts a few times. Sometimes the top is up over his eyes, sometimes it's down by his nose, etc. Also, depending on the angle, sometimes there's a purple glow on his face and sometimes not.

TedStixon

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy and the guy are talking at the beach in the beginning, right before they hear a voice scream "Somebody help me!", the guy starts to turn to look at the tide. However, in the next shot, he's instantly facing Buffy again and then turns to face the tide a second time.

Becoming (1) - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: According to Giles in 'Revelations' there are 12 cemeteries in Sunnydale, but in 'Becoming Part 1', amongst others, Buffy agrees to meet someone (Angelus in this case) in 'the cemetery'. If there are 12 in the city, how would they know which one she means? (00:35:40)

Goodbye Iowa - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is talking to Riley, she puts the scarf on her head, on his hand. He talks to her and says "Maybe I am the bad guy," and in the next frame her scarf is back on her head again, then off again in the next frame. (00:24:20)

Touched - S7-E20

Spike: You listen to me. [Kneels in front of her.] I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. [Buffy looks away; he reaches toward her face.] Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you, " it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.
Buffy: [Quietly.] I don't wanna be the one.

Answer: She has superpowers, ergo fast movement. The reason she outruns him so easily in "Touched" is that she stops trying to actually fight him and just dodges instead.
