Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy meets Giles in the library after the opening credits, and they start talking, throughout the scene, you can see set lights and reflectors reflected in Giles' glasses multiple times. This happens often throughout the series, but is particularly noticeable here.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy's mom drops her off at school at the beginning, watch closely when Buffy gets out of the car. In the passenger door's quarter glass window, you can see a reflection of a set-light (probably a fill light to eliminate shadows) for a few seconds when she opens the door.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning, when Buffy is having the prophetic dream, there's a shot right as it's about to end where the camera is above her and moving down closer to her. If you watch, you can blatantly see a shadow (more than likely the camera rig) grow over her as it gets closer and closer to her.

Chosen - S7-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When the 4 Scoobs meet in the hallway for the revolving shot, just as the camera starts to pan over you can see someone casually walk down the hall into frame behind Xander's left shoulder, as the camera starts to revolve you can the person is now crouching in the shadow behind Giles. It appears to be a crew member that accidentally walked into shot at the wrong moment and hid quickly.

Goodbye Iowa - S4-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy and Riley are talking at the crime scene, where he tells her about Maggie Walsh's death, one of the camera shots has a very visible black border around the entire edge of the screen as if the lens shade was visible in front of the lens and could be seen in the shot. (00:18:20 - 00:19:40)

Halloween - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Willow is turned into a ghost. Throughout the entire episode, she can't touch anything (can't turn the pages of a book, etc.), yet towards the end when she and Giles go to Ethan's shop, and she leaves, you can hear that she opened and closed the door, even though she can walk through walls and can't actually touch the door. The curtain moves when she leaves too. (00:34:05)

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.
