Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Buffy's mom sets down the carton of orange juice on the table after the golf trip, watch closely. The continuity is nightmarish. The carton rotates multiple times between cuts. The cap is on, then off, then back on again between cuts. And Buffy's mom's hand keeps moving on and off the carton between cuts.

Revealing mistake: When Buffy knocks Ted down the stairs, the camera angle gives away the fact that the last two kicks Buffy hits him with don't come close to hitting him.

Deliberate mistake: The second time Buffy and Ted fight, Buffy stabs Ted with a nail-file and exposes circuitry under Ted's skin, revealing he's a robot. However, the "wound" on Ted's arm is far too huge to have been exposed by a single stab from a nail-file.

Audio problem: When Willow and Jenny jump in Cordy's car, Cordy mentions that she saw "these things coming at me!" However, her mouth isn't moving for the last few words.

Continuity mistake: After the mini-golf scene, Buffy comes down to her kitchen. Her mother greets her and sets down a carton of orange juice. In the first shot, her mother is holding the carton with both hands. But in the next shot as she sets it down, she only has one hand on the carton.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking at the school near the beginning in front of the vending machine, watch the way Buffy is holding her pink binder. First she's holding it to her side, but shifts it in front of her chest. Instantly, in the next shot it's back by her side. Then it's back in front of her chest again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Giles and Buffy are talking at the beginning of the episode in the park, whenever Giles looks up at Buffy, you can see a light bounce card being reflected in his glasses.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Buffy stakes the vampire that she beats up for a long time, watch when she lifts the stake. The hole in the vampire's chest is a solid 8" below where she actually hit him with the stake. (It's an effects shot, so somehow, they just didn't line up).

Plot hole: Angel says he cannot give Buffy mouth-to-mouth because vampires have "no breath." However, throughout the entire series, vampires are shown to breathe, and are able to do things like smoke, gasp, get choked out, etc. (Granted, the franchise also confirms a vampire cannot die from asphyxiation, but still they're shown to breathe regularly).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Deliberate mistake: When Willow and Jenny go out to the parking lot only to discover vampires converging on the school, pay attention to the extras. You can make out some of the same extras in different shots coming from different directions. (Most notably, you can see a woman in a long black-and-white skirt coming from the direction of the parking lot, then a few shots later, she's suddenly over in the football field coming from there.) They obviously reused extras in different shots to "pad out" the crowds.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy descends into the Master's lair, the way she is holding her crossbow changes depending on the camera angle. Sometimes it's pointed straight forward, sometimes it's pointed upwards.

Continuity mistake: When Giles and Jenny are talking about Buffy, Giles says "We must get in touch with this Brother Luca chap!" watch Giles. In the first shot he's still reaching towards the top of the cabinet. Instantly in the next shot, he's in the middle pulling something down from the top of the cabinet.

Continuity mistake: When Giles and Jenny are talking in the library, when Jenny closes the bible, the way she's holding it changes instantly between shots.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is consoling Willow after she discovered the dead students, as Buffy leaves the room, Willow's mouth is open and she looks down. It then cuts to a wideshot. Instantly, Willow's mouth is closed and she's staring forward, and she looks down a second time.

Continuity mistake: When Jenny meets Giles after Xander's botched attempt at asking out Buffy, the way she's holding the folders to her chest subtly changes repeatedly between the closeup and wide shots.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy turns down Xander's date proposal at the start of the episode, throughout the scene, Xander has his backpack up around his right shoulder. However, when he walks away, it's instantly down by his side.

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.

Trivia: "A Nightmare on Elm Street" star Heather Langenkamp has a cameo as one of the dead bodies you see on the TV news broadcast during the opening credits. (She's only on-screen for a few seconds).

Trivia: Reportedly, late in post-production, the lead effects artist had a mental breakdown because he realised he had bitten off more than he could chew and couldn't deliver the effects on time. Director Wes Craven had to rush to locate all the negatives (which were scattered all over LA) and hire more effects artists to try and get the effects done as quickly as possible. Craven has said this is why some of the effects shots are "pretty sketchy" - there was no time to properly finish them.

Trivia: Wes Craven said before he passed away that out of all his films, "Shocker" is the one movie he would have liked to have remade himself because the effects weren't quite good enough due to technical limitations and issues with the effects artists.
