Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Flooded - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: As the Trio are discussing their plans near the end of the episode, Jonathan's arms are crossed in closeups and in other positions in wide shots. (00:36:35)

Flooded - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When Anya and Xander were arguing outside Buffy's house, Xander had a lipstick mark on the bottom of his lips, but in the next shot, it was on the side of his lips and in the shot after that, the mark was above his lips.

Life Serial - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: The entire scene where Buffy is experiencing accelerated time, shadows of trees move in the wind but never actually grow or shrink. Even over short increments of time, the sun can move shadows noticeably, and judging from the speed of the people around her, Buffy is in accelerated time for at least half an hour. (00:08:25)

Life Serial - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: In Jonathan, Warren and Andrew's van, whenever they're watching something on the monitors fed from their security cameras, you can see that the footage is actually pre-recorded due to the fact that the footage is being played through QuickTime media player.

Life Serial - S6-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When Xander is talking to Buffy about blacking out and evil lint before introducing her to the foreman at the construction site, a crew member can be seen walking behind them holding up an anti-glare screen. (Only visible in widescreen.)

Plot hole: In the 3rd time loop at the magic shop, the woman looking for the mummy hand looks surprised when Buffy knows what she wants. In the 2nd time loop, the woman tells Buffy that she called the shop 20 minutes earlier and was told that they had one. Therefore at least one of the shop's staff would be aware that a woman would be arriving looking for a mummy hand.

All The Way - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: In one fight scene, Buffy uses a car door to block a kick from a vampire. The window of the car breaks before the kick connects with it. In fact, it breaks while the foot is still in mid-air. (00:37:00)

All The Way - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: After Spike has fought with the vampire claiming to be a rebel and he is re-loading his cross bow, he is tackled by another vampire and you can hear the sound of the cross bow firing, but as he falls you can see the arrow is still loaded.

Once More, With Feeling - S6-E7

Audio problem: In the episode 'Once More, With Feeling', when Anya sings her first few lines of the song 'I'll Never Tell', you can still hear Xander talking about omelettes in the background, but for the last few lines he speaks (from 'I could do an omelette' onwards) you can see over her shoulder that his voice is dubbed. (00:13:10)

Once More, With Feeling - S6-E7

Revealing mistake: The knives Giles throws during Buffy's training are a very poor CGI job if you watch it in slow mo. All three knives Giles takes off the wall are identical, with a broad curved blade and a plain black handle. The first one has a transparent blade as it flies toward Buffy, then we hear it bounce off the far wall and it's way out of scale for the distance. The second knife has a diamond-patterned grip instead of a plain one. The third knife conveniently spins in midair for a second so Buffy can kick it out of the way. (00:30:35)

Touched - S7-E20

Spike: You listen to me. [Kneels in front of her.] I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. [Buffy looks away; he reaches toward her face.] Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you, " it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.
Buffy: [Quietly.] I don't wanna be the one.

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.
