Trivia: In the original script, Merrick commits suicide to stop Lothos from turning him into a vampire. The studio thought the scene was too much of a downer, and made Joss Whedon rewrite his death-scene to have him instead be stabbed by Lothos.

Trivia: Contrary to popular belief, Seth Green is actually not the only person to appear in both the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" film and series. Actor Chi Muoi Lo also appears in both - playing a background vampire in the movie, and having a small uncredited part in the season 7 episode "Storyteller." While both roles are small (pretty much blink-and-you'll-miss-it), he technically did appear in both.

Trivia: Supposedly David Bowie and Mick Jagger were supposed to have cameos as vampires in the film in one scene, in a sort-of reference to their music video for "Dancing in the Street." Unfortunately, time and financial constraints put an end to this idea.

Trivia: The movie was partially the result of a country-music and pop-culture legend. Sandollar Productions, a studio that helped finance the film, was co-founded by Dolly Parton of all people. Sandollar also went on to be involved with the TV series and its spin-off "Angel." (Though Parton herself was not credited).

Trivia: Joss Whedon's original script, which was drastically altered by the studio, director and cast, was eventually adapted into a comic-book called "The Origin" in 1999. Whedon has said that while he has some small issues with the comic, he thinks it can be viewed as being canonical with the series, unlike the movie.

Trivia: Donald Sutherland reportedly rewrote or improvised much of his dialogue, much to the dismay of writer Joss Whedon. Whedon felt Sutherland's dialogue didn't fit with the script and was at times "unintelligible."
