Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Borba reawakens at the funeral home and says "I have been judged, " you can sort-of see Owen reflected in the glass in front of him, and Owen's face looks totally blank. When it cuts to Owen, Xander and Willow (right before the commercial break happens), Owen suddenly has a shocked expression on his face.

Deliberate mistake: When Buffy and Giles are searching the funeral home, we see three shots of Buffy and Giles opening up different mortuary-cabinet doors, shot from the point of view of the cabinet. The problem? You can tell they're opening and closing the same door over and over again. The background is exactly the same, and all they've done is slightly re-arrange the stuff behind them, and had the actors come in from different angles to create the illusion they're opening different doors. It's SUPER obvious.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy introduces Owen to Angel, Buffy starts to scoot towards Owen but is still a good foot away. However, when the shot cuts, suddenly she is pressed right up against him.

Continuity mistake: During Buffy and Owen's date at the Bronze, after Buffy shoos away Cordy, Buffy turns and smiles at Owen. In the first shot, she's smiling with a closed mouth. Suddenly in the next shot, she's open-mouth grinning with her teeth exposed.

Trivia: The idea for the film came when producer Scott Rudin was in a van with several other executives. One of the executives' kids, who were also in the van, started singing the theme song to the 60's TV show, and soon, everyone joined in since they all knew the words. Rudin realised that the show and characters were still very relevant and well-known, and pitched the idea of turning "The Addams Family" into a movie the very next day.

Continuity mistake: After the crash, when the bus driver walks up to the vampire that he hit and asks "Can you move?" the blood that was on the right side of his forehead in the previous few shots vanishes.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going to Sunnydale, the creepy guy is delivering a weird sermon. At one point, we see him reflected in the driver's mirror, and he is gesturing with his right hand, which is up around his abdomen/chest area. It then cuts and suddenly his hand is down by his side.

Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going towards Sunnydale, the creepy religious zealot guy puts his arm on the seat behind the mother and child. It then cuts to a closeup of them, and we cannot see the creep's arm behind them. It cuts back to a wideshot, and suddenly his arm is behind them again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy and Giles are in the cemetery, right before Buffy bails to go meet Owen, you can blatantly see a number rectangular studio/set lights reflected in Giles' glasses coming from various angles. (There wouldn't be dramatically-angled lights like that in a cemetery, let alone after dark).

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Buffy gets up to walk over to Owen in the cafeteria, watch Willow and Xander... the directions they are facing change when it cuts to the wideshot. They suddenly are both watching Buffy in the wideshot, which they weren't before the shot cut. It's pretty subtle, so you have watch closely to notice.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are in the cafeteria in the beginning, Buffy says she's going to sit with Owen and Willow tells her "good luck." The way Willow is holding her fork changes between edits. (Specifically, it goes from pointed down to pointed up between cuts).

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Buffy stakes the vampire in the opening scene, his arms go from up in the air to down by his sides between cuts right as she stakes him.
21st Sep 2022
Continuity mistake: When Giles and Buffy are talking about how to kill the She-Mantis, around the time Buffy says "Slice and dice!", her hands go from down by her sides to up in front of her chest gripping together between cuts.

Audio problem: When Xander is talking to Blaine in the cell, Blaine is explaining what Miss French/She-Mantis does. At one point Blaine says "She ties you up, " but his mouth doesn't match the words at all. His mouth and the words match for every other line, so I'm assuming they decided to add that line in post.

Continuity mistake: When Xander thinks he hears someone at Miss French's house, she distracts him by caressing his chin. In the two shots facing Miss French, she's touching his chin with her LEFT hand but in the shot facing Xander she's touching his chin with her RIGHT hand.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is telling Giles and Willow what she read about praying mantises in the book, she slams it shut and says "Ha!" The scene then cuts from a wide shot to a medium shot of Buffy, and the way she is holding the book changes slightly between cuts. (More specifically, her hand and the book rotate about 45° between cuts).
21st Sep 2022
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, Miss French picks up a little terrarium with the mantis in it, the position of the mantis changes instantly between cuts. First it's on the left side, then it's on the right.
20th Sep 2022
Continuity mistake: At the Bronze in the beginning of the episode, two guys are talking about girls. At one point, one of them (the white guy) goes from facing forward to facing sideways at his friend between edits.

Audio problem: After the opening credits, we see a band playing in the Bronze. The lead singer's mouth doesn't seem to 100% match what he's saying. It's mostly right, but just seems a little "off." (Ex. There's a few very brief moments where individual syllables seem to not match, etc.) It's very clear he's simply lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.
20th Sep 2022
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Buffy's teacher is looking at the slides, he goes from holding a slide with one hand to two hands instantly between edits.
