I Robot, You Jane - S1-E8

Deliberate mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Giles try to "delete" Moloch from the computer, watch the computer screen as she sits down. There's already a folder labeled "Willow" on the desktop. Buffy then types in the word "Willow" to search for the document (without clicking on any sort of search bar, so typing it would do nothing), then says something along the lines of "That's probably it" and proceeds to click on the "Willow" folder... that was already on the desktop. The entire scene makes no sense.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy and Willow arrive at school at the start of the episode, Willow is wearing very dark, completely opaque tights that look to be black or at best very dark navy blue. When Xander finds her in the next scene, which takes shortly after on the same day, she's suddenly wearing much brighter purple tights.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Willow gets the email from "Malcolm" and says "He's so sweet! What should I write back?", she instantly goes from facing forward at the computer to facing sideways at Buffy between cuts.

Trivia: The lead monk at the beginning of the episode is named "Thelonious." This is a not-so-subtle nod to renowned jazz pianist Thelonious Monk.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Master first starts to appear, rising out of the pool, the top of his head is wet. But in the next shot (a wideshot) where you see him continue to rise, he's bone dry. This is because in the first shot, the actor is really coming out of the liquid, whereas in the next shot, he's added through visual effects. He obviously was supposed to look "dry" the entire time, but because the first shot was done with an actor rising out of the pool on-set, there was no way for him to emerge dry.

Continuity mistake: After Cordelia turns down Jesse at the Bronze, he says "Fine plenty other fish in the sea." In the first shot, his arm is raised and he has his hand against a pillar. In the second shot, his arm is suddenly down by his side.

Continuity mistake: When Jesse asks Cordelia if she wants to dance at the Bronze, and she replies "With you?", she goes from facing downwards to facing sideways towards Jesse between cuts. They try to hide the continuity mistake with editing (cutting the shot as an extra is partially obscuring the frame as he walks by), but you can see clear as day that she goes from looking down to looking sideways instantly.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Buffy meets Willow at the Bronze, a drink basically magically materializes in Buffy's hands at one point. She points to the bartender like she wants a drink, but a few shots later (when she says "How come?") she suddenly has a drink in her hand without having picked it up in any previous shot. She also goes from not sipping her drink to sipping it between cuts just a few shots later.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy meets Willow at the Bronze, when Willow says she thought Xander was going to be there, Buffy is standing about a foot away from the bar and her arms are by her side. But suddenly in the next shot, she's right up against the bar and leaning on it with her elbow. Then in the next shot, she's about a foot away again.

Audio problem: When Buffy meets Angel, when she says the line "What I want is to be left alone!" and Angel replies "You really think that's an option anymore?" pay attention. Buffy's last few words don't quite match her lip movements, and Angel's lips don't seem to be moving at all for his line. The audio looping is a little sloppy. This is better seen in the brighter HD remaster, but is also noticeable in the original, darker standard definition master.

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: This is hard to describe. When Buffy and Joyce are talking in her room, Joyce keeps pulling pillows off Buffy's bed and re-arranging them. However, at one point, when the shot cuts back to her, she's holding a different pillow than in her last shot. This technically wouldn't be a mistake since she's off camera except in the shots facing Buffy, there's a mirror behind her with her bed in view, so we should have Joyce put down the first pillow and pick up the second one... and we don't.

Revealing mistake: When Buffy sneaks into the locker room and checks out the dead body, you can see part of the outline around the prosthetic vampire bite on his neck (it isn't quite blended in properly), revealing it's an appliance.

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.

Trivia: Toni Collette reportedly didn't realise the movie was a horror film until she finally saw a cut of it. She was so emotionally affected by the script and her character, she assumed it was a straight-up drama with a supernatural twist. When she finally saw the movie, she realised how scary it was.

TedStixon

Trivia: Toni Collette actually auditioned for this movie as an afterthought. She was in town auditioning for another movie, and auditioned for "The Sixth Sense" on a whim. She lost the other part, and got the part of Cole's mother, earning her great feedback and praise.

Trivia: Funnily enough, despite having one of the most famous twists of all time, the soundtrack album actually completely spoils it - the final track is literally called "Malcolm is Dead." Anyone who saw the track listing before the movie would have it ruined for them.

Trivia: Part of the reason Haley Joel Osment won his part was because he impressed director M. Night Shyamalan during the audition with his dedication to the movie - he mentioned offhand that he "read it three times last night." Shyamalan asked if he meant his lines... to which Osment replied that no, he read the entire script front-to-back three times the night before.

Trivia: Jonah Hill was reportedly up for the role of either Penguin or the Riddler, but he dropped out early in production.

Trivia: Robert Pattinson auditioned for the role by wearing Val Kilmer's batsuit from the film "Batman Forever." Warner Bros. had several old batsuits in storage that have been used when new actors screentest for the role. In fact, one of Kilmer's batsuits was also used when Christian Bale auditioned for the part for Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins."
