Continuity mistake: When the group is debriefing about their first Dracula encounter at Giles', Anya is sitting on the sofa with her hands crossed on her lap. In the next shot she has her arms straight with the palms of her hands on the sofa cushion, fingers towards the back. (00:11:25)
Visible crew/equipment: When Riley goes to Spike's crypt to ask him for information about Dracula, the microphone appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (00:17:55)
Continuity mistake: After they finish dinner, Joyce says to Buffy that she'll have to get used to her not being around anymore because it gets so quiet. After she says this, her plate disappears.
Continuity mistake: The morning after Buffy is bitten by Dracula, her house address can be seen as "1313" instead of "1630."
Visible crew/equipment: When Willow and Tara are talking about Dawn, just as Willow turns around from hanging her picture to say "help?", a boom mike drops in from the top of the screen. (00:18:35)
Audio problem: When Joyce is about to leave for the pre-show, we hear Xander say "Have fun, but not too much fun", but his lips never move.
Continuity mistake: When Xander is shot by the demon's lightning rod, he falls on a heap of black trash bags. When he is helped to stand up, different bags, pink and white ones, are visible instead. (00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Willow, and Dawn are discussing Riley's problems in the bedroom, Dawn's hair shifts from over her shoulder in the long shots to behind her shoulder in the closeups. (00:16:45)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Willow and Tara are at the old High School looking for Riley, Willow uses magic to light up the hallway. Tara then asks Willow how she did it. As Willow tells her that she taught her, she tucks her hair behind her right ear. Then after Tara says, "I taught you teeny Tinker Bell light", Willow's hair is hanging back down over her right ear.
Other mistake: Towards the end of the episode when Spike tells Buffy to stake him and removes his shirt, you can see that he has a tan on his upper back/neck to his hairline from wearing a t-shirt.
Visible crew/equipment: When Harmony sits down opposite the operating table, behind her in the glass there is a reflection of a boom mike.
Continuity mistake: When Spike is stalking Buffy in front of her house, she somehow senses him and pulls him out of behind the tree in front of her porch. While he is being pulled out, he has no cigarette in his mouth. However in the next close-up shot, he has one (which he then quickly throws away). (00:29:55)
Visible crew/equipment: In the final scene where Buffy apologizes to Dawn, a microphone is visible in the upper left corner, from the camera angle behind Dawn, just after she says "you hurt my arm." (00:40:00)
Audio problem: When Joyce comes downstairs and comments on the breakfast Buffy made, Dawn says 'Oh, Buffy helped,' but her mouth doesn't match what she's saying.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode Buffy is thrown against a 'No Trespassing' sign and the sign is all crinkled, the vampire also punches it but later in the episode we see the same sign except that it looks brand new.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where the demons are attacking, one of the demons throws Buffy across a table. If you look carefully, you'll see the black mat which softens the stunt double's fall on the floor when she hits the ground.
Continuity mistake: When Riley is dressing Buffy's wound, it is much further to her left side than where she was actually staked, which was more central on her stomach. (00:00:35 - 00:02:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Spike picks up the money after Buffy has just said "you're beneath me", you can see the microphone "sender" under his leather jacket. (00:36:10)
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.
