Has anyone noticed any bloopers in seaosn 3?

I noticed one in the Wish. WHen Xander and WIllow bite into Cordelia, and then they throw her on the ground. You never hear her body hit the ground. And after sucking Harmony's friend's blood out, when the spikes come out there is no blood or wonds on the girl.
 
In "Anne" when Buffy is in the underground factory and climbing on a rope near the end... she has on white canvas shoes, and when she climbs off the rope she has on athletic tennis shoes.

there are a lot more too, but I just can't remeber them.
 
That's a good one. I'm gunna watch the episode and see if I can find it.
 
Ah, another one in graduation day. Remember the three kids that run right into the vamps and die? a few minutes later they are fighting the mayor/snake thing.
 
I got all of the following bloopers from the book Bite Me!: An Unofficial Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

- In "Anne," when Buffy is fighting in Hell, she's wearing white running shoes. However, when she's climbing a chain to get out, she's wearing different sneakers.

- In "Faith, Hope, and Trick," when Angel lands on the floor and we see his back, he doesn't have his tattoo.

- In "Homecoming," after Buffy discovers the gang is helping Cordelia, she grabs a bottle of apple juice, takes one sip, and then crushes it, but the juice has magically disappeared.

- In "Band Candy," when Buffy kicks the box, you can clearly see the stunt double's face.

- In "The Wish," when Xander and Willow are talking at the Bronze at the beginning of the episode, her hair is tucked back one minute and falling forward the next.

- In "Amends," after a few minutes of light snowing, the ground is covered in five inches of snow. Also, why are there footprints all over the snow that early in the morning after snowing for a few minutes?

- In "Gingerbread," when Buffy wakes up at the stake, her arms are tied, but her hands are free. A second or two later, you see her hands are bound as well.

- In "The Zeppo," the bomb seems to be counting down awfully slowly. At one point, it's at 11 seconds (is it moving backward? and about 15 seconds later, it's down to four seconds.

- In "Consequenses," there's a major continuity problem. When the detective questions Buffy and Faith, he refers to the murder as happening the night before, when it appears to have happened two days earlier: the murder occured, then Buffy went to Faith's apartment the next day (both happened in the previous episode), then she had the nightmare that night, then she went to school, and then the detectives questioned them. Also, Gile's calendar said April, when in fact, it's February (we know this because in "Bad Girls" the Mayor says it was the commencement of the 100 days until the Ascension).

- In "Enemies," Faith holds out her hand to Angel, showing him the demon's blood. Yet moments later, it's gone.

- In "Earshot," watch how the clock tower drastically changes times whenever Buffy looks at it (it even moves backward). Also, when Buffy gets into the fight in the cafeteria, the lunch lady's stunt double appears to be a man in lots of padding (though it's a woman, actually -- this is slayerangel talking).

-- In "Choices" when the Mayor walks into the room where the gang is ready to make the switch, he acts like he's never seen Buffy before, but he's actually seen her on a few occasions ("Band Candy," "Gingerbread," Consequences").

- In "The Prom" when the hellhound attacks the guy trying on the tux, we only see a few things fall off the rack, but when the gang watches the attack on the security camera tape, most of the outfits fall off. Also, when Wesley is at the prom, he's holding a red napkin; the camera cuts away, and when it cuts back, the napkin is yellow.

- In "Graduation Day, Part Two," Anya told everyone in the previous episode that when the Mayor ascended, he'd be pure demon, yet Buffy says in this episode that she could play on his human weakness. He wouldn't have a human weakness if he was pure demon. Also, in the previous episode, Oz is wearing black nail polish when he began kissing Willow, and in this one, which is supposed to take place immediately afterward, he isn't wearing any.

Satisfied?
 
That's... really good actually. LoL. Good job. lol. I guess that would be all of them when it's in an official book. Thanks 🙂
 
Wow, you reply fast. If you ever pass by the book, it has all the bloopers and nitpicks for Buffy S1 - S6, plus the nitpicks for Angel S1 - S3. It's a good read and it took me quite awhile to type all that, lol.
 
I got these from www.tvtome.com

Anne
-When Ricky (now an old man) steps onto the open street, at first his pant legs are hiked up enough to show off his boots, then down to cover them up, then up again, then down again. And if I didn't know any better, I would swear that they even change between boots and shoes during this and maybe even, at the least, colour, but the lighting obscures confirmation.
-When Buffy is fighting all the demon guards on the platform, you can see not one, but many safety mats for them to land on in the background all around where they are being knocked off.

Dead Man's Party
-What happened to all the Zombies? Oz says the dead man's party has headed upstairs... when they give a shot to the upstair's room and Joyce's friend has put on the mask, there was only one Zombie left, where did the rest go? Why did the Zombies disappear after the mask was gone, they had real bodies, they didn't come out of thin air.
-Buffy stabs a zombie with a stake and then reaches the conclusion that it's not a vampire. But if it were a vampire, it wouldn't have dusted anyway because her hit was clearly too far off from the heart, more about the stomach. Surely she would have noticed this.

Faith, Hope and Trick
-The drive-thru clerk at Happy Burger never gave Mr. Trick his 11 cents change on his 89 cent soda purchase.
-When we first see faith fighting a vamp we see her stake him on his right side wich is nowhere near their heart!!!!!!!!

Beauty and the Beasts
-In this its second appearance, the Werewolf side of Oz looks NOTHING like it did in its debut in "Phases"
-When Buffy goes into Mr. Platts office she obviously wants no one to know. So why does she leave the door to the counselors office open where anyone, including Giles who she metioned specifically, could hear her?
-When Oz turns into a werewolf his clothes completely disappear. Even if he ripped out of them they'd still be lying somewhere near the stairs.
-Since when is staff smoking on school grounds (Mr. Platt) OK?

Band Candy
-The boxes of candy all clearly say "Milkbar" on them but Giles says that Buffy convinced him to buy twenty "Cocoariffic" bars.
-How exactly did Ethan get INSIDE of the wooden box in less than a minute before Buffy caught him???
-if the demon they are "honoring" only likes babies then why does he eat the guy who fell in the pool thing?
-Since when are vampire's hearts located in the right side of their chest? When Buffy stakes the two vamps in the sewers, she stakes the right side of their chest instead of the left
-When Buffy goes to the factory in the Jeep (where she sees Joyce and "Ripper" kissing), she doesn't take the keys with her. She didn't have time to stuff them in her pocket, if she even has pockets.
-Why were the boxes of chocolates made into a labyrinth? Why weren't they just all stacked against the wall with no gaps in between. That's not a very space-effective way in the first place.
-What did Buffy do with the gun that she took from Giles (who took it from the policeman)? When she goes to the sewers, she doesn't have it tucked into her skirt.
-When Buffy "kills" the demon, she takes a pipe of gas and lights it and then proceeds to light the snake-demon on fire. Why does a huge snake just [poof] light on fire like that? The snake presumably wasn't dipped in kerosene or something, so why? And we never see it die. I would think that a snake that size would be able to survive that.
-In the second scene (before the Buffy intro), The Mayor is talking to Mr. Trick. He says, "I understand that this is early for you", and the show makes us understand that it is really late, probably past midnight. But for a vampire, this would actually be LATE.
-What would the Mayor have to gain from Snyder being exposed to the cursed candy?
-The whole objective of the vamps in this episode is to get the townspeople away from the hospital in order to get the babies. What is the point of having the high school students sell the candy? Except to have a little fun, this doesn't make sense. If they wanted to get people away from the hospital, why didn't they give the candy away at the hospital? I mean, chances are, the new parents to which those babies "belong" would still be at the hospital, looking after their newborns, and the nurses, wouldn't be able to get any of the candy to be exposed to the curse and none of them were to be seen when the vamps took the babies. I know that Sunnydale isn't staffed with the best of the best, but this is ridiculous.
-Giles went to all of the trouble of beating up the cop in order to keep their prizes... the coat and the hat... but after that scene (and during the fight), we never see the hat again. It would be an honor thing for him to keep the hat.
-After Buffy leaves from Giles' house, Joyce pulls out a bottle of wine that she presumably hid because of Buffy coming into the house, but when could she have hidden it. The camera is off her for a while, but the movement would have been evident, because she was faced the opposite way, not to mention that Buffy didn't knock or anything, she just walked in after hesitating

Revelations
-When Buffy says "Faith we can work this out", a boom mic is visible above her.
-If Angel knew about the Glove and where it was in Sunnydale, why didn't he grab it when he was Angelus last season to augment his powers?
-after Angel gets the glove, you see him walk back to the mansion. Xander follows him and he looks in the window and sees buffy and angel kissing. How would Angel have enough time to get in, put the glove down, and start kissing buffy? And why wouldn't he show her the glove first?
-When Buffy and Faith are fighting at the end of the episode, Faith intiates the fight by swinging a hook kick that's completely off. There's a wide space between Faith and Buffy's face, but Buffy still reacts as if she were hit.

Lover's Walk
-In the Factory when Spike grabs Willow's head and threatens her with a broken glass, her hair covers her face, but when they change angle (when she talks) there's no hair in her face.
Why did Buffy let Spike go so easy. Her friends could of been dead.
-How is it that vampires can get affected by chemicals in their bodies anyway? I mean, doesn't it have to go through their bloodstreams, to reach their hearts and brains and stuff? If their hearts don't beat, then the poisons shouldn't be able to spread. And also, if their hearts don't beat, then all their blood should be located down at their feet. So why do they bleed when you cut them anywhere else? Hmmm.
-in the morning, when spike is laying outside Angel's mansion he gets burned and screams like all hell. How would Angel not hear him?
-There's some bad editing when Buffy has Spike pinned down on the counter at the Summers' home: first she has her right hand around his throat with her left hand on his torso, touching only his black shirt. Then her left hand is visibly touching his red shirt, then back to being only on his black shirt. Then when shot suddenly cuts to another angle, it's now her left hand on his throat.
-Usually when a vampire gets steaked through the heart and the steak stays in the vampire's chest it dusts with the vampire but when Buffy breaks the broom and steaks the two vampires the broom handle doesn't dust and we distinctly hear it fall to the floor.

The Wish
-During the scene when Cordelia has recently been put in the new reality, she is talking with her group of galpals about going to the Bronze. A boom mic can be seen briefly during this scene above the girls.
-When Cordelia and Anya are talking inside the school you can see a girl by the stairs in the backround waiting for her cue to start walking.
-In another concept that will be subsequently altered, Giles says that if he destroys Anya's amulet in the proper manner it will "reverse all the wishes she's granted, rendering her mortal and powerless again."
-Cordelia cuts off the picture of Xander right up to his chin, but the picture we see burning is cut much lower so that you can see his chest.
-In Oz's and Willows first scene, if you look behind Oz a couple of times, you can see the same student walk past them (white shirt, black bag), and once nearing the end of the conversation, although you cant see more than the shirt, it looks like the same student is walking past for a THRID time. (Come on, is it that hard to get more extras?Just get the crew to walk on once in a while)
-Notice that when Cordette #1 was put on the tray, her arm was folded across her stomach. The next time the camera is shot to look at her, her arm is lying down at her side.
-It would seem that Giles's book is mistaken. Destroying a vengeance demon's power source seems to most likely just revert the last wish they granted.
-If all of the Sunnydale residents know enough to wear dark clothes to not attract vampires, then why don't they know enough to carry around huge crosses like Giles does?
-When Buffy stakes the vampiric Xander, its pretty obvious that the stake hits him in the chest and the point slides down a bit. Normally they do a good job of using a camera angle that doesn't allow you to see the point of the stake impact the body, so you normally never see a goof like this.
-When Cordette #1 is drained on the machine, we see a set of rather large looking needles impale her. They must be fairly big because they do drain the blood out of her fairly quickly. However, when they retract from her body, not only are there no bloodstains on her from the punctures, but her top doesn't even have any holes in it!
-Is it just me, or is it really stupid of vampires to make a cage area out of wooden planks? It'd be so easy for any of the vampires to fall against the cage, break a board and "poof". Also, when everyone begins escaping the cage, Oz tears a plank off so he can use it to fight, and it seemed to come off fairly easily. Why did no one else think of doing that while they were stuck inside the cage? They could've gotten out and had plenty of sharp wooden weapons to fight the vampires with.
 
Amends
-The new-fallen snow in the streets of Sunnydale seems to be full of footprints going in all directions, even though Buffy and Angel are apparently the only people awake and walking around at that extremely early hour.
-In the dream where Buffy witnesses Angel biting a servant, Angel has a mustache. Can vampires grow mustaches?
-When he came back from the hell dimension, and even when he was chained to the wall when Buffy kept him under wraps from her friends...wouldn't he have been quite hairy in the face or something if Vamps can grow hair? Come to think of it...his hair was done perfectly when he arrived back.
-The First Evil in 7th season is said to be incorporeal, and yet in this episode the First-as-Jenny Calendar very obviously touches Angel, including stroking his hair at one point.
-During the time Angel was being tortured by visions of his victims from the past, one of the men was dressed in modern clothing talking about how Angelus had arranged his children to look as if they were sleeping. Unless Angel did this during his short stint in season 2 as Angelus, this is goof as he would not have killed anyone after the turn of the cetury.
-Whenever the First morphs from the image of one person to another, there's a mist floating around it. But nothing like this appears when it does the same thing in Season 7.

Gingerbread
-During the locker search, a cop is looking through a coin purse in the background. Later, we still see the same cop looking through the same coin purse.
-Why didn't they call Faith to help stop the town from punishing the witches? Where the hell was she anyway?

Helpless
-Where did Kralik get so much film? When he's making his big speech to Joyce, he keeps taking her picture with a Polaroid camera every other second. Later, when Buffy is trying to get away from him, she runs into a bedroom that's covered with HUNDREDS of the photos of Joyce. He can't go into a Walgreens like normal people, so how did he get what must have been dozens of rolls of film? I also never see him reload the camera while he's taking a shot a second, either.
-After seeing Angel, Buffy is chased by Kralik and the other vampire and she screams for mercy. But just before she collided with Kralik, there were two guys mocking her... wouldn't those guys at least hear her scream for help???
-The boom mic is visible in the top left hand corner of the screen at time index 02:36 (Buffy fighting the vamp in the teaser)
-Time Index: 15:00 Buffy places a book on a table and stands up, as she does the book begins to slide towards the floor, when the shot goes wide the book is now laid perfectly flat on the table atop another book.
-So Buffy sees the photo of Kralik with her mother, and then packs up her anti-vampire stuff. Except she's changed her clothing and put up her hair between shots. Guess that was more of a priority for her.
-Why doesn't Buffy ask for Angel for help against Kralik? She isn't -obliged to play by the rules of the Council's test and her mother's life is at stake (ummm, so to speak).
-Why could Buffy see the vampire in the picture of him and Mrs. Summers? Vampires don't have reflections-- they can't be seen in things like photos and mirrors.

More tomorrow.
 
WOw, everyone seems smarter than me... still... LoL. Thanks for the bloopers, I'm gunna look for them.
 
A boom mic is placed in front of the actors to amplify (make louder) their voices. You usually can't see them.
 
Revalations is the episode with "faith's watcher" who turns out to be evil, right?

Click to expand...

I know why... Joss didn't want it to look like someone in a costume, so to make it look more "realistic," the makeup of the werewolf had to change.
 
Revelations is the one with Faith's new watcher.

Bad Girls
-One second after Buffy pulls herself out of the water (in the sewer) her hair is completely dry.
-When Buffy is sitting on the sofa with Angel, Wesley walks up and sits down. As he does so you can see a cut on Buffy's right arm ... 1. Where did she get the cut? and 2. Why hasn't she cleaned it up before going to the club?
-When Buffy and Faith come down the alley (just before Faith kills Finch) there is a bad editing cut as the film speeds up slightly.
When Buffy throws the stake at the vampire it lands on his right region of his back. The Heart should be near the left region of the back.
-Whilst the class are taking their chemistry test, a periodic table is clearly visible above the whiteboard. It's not really a "goof" as such, but the teacher really should've taken it down or covered it up.

Consequences
-The day after Finch's murder in "Bad Girls", Buffy went to Faith's (in bright daylight and a clean outfit). This episode begins with Buffy in her pajamas, waking up from a nightmare; then she goes to school. Presumably this means that it is at least the second day since the murder. But the detective questioning the witness at the scene of the crime says, "You heard the man scream at about what time last night?" Later that night, Buffy says to Faith, "Less than 24 hours ago, you killed a man."
-Detective Stein questions the witness and asks "You heard the man scream at what time?', but Finch never actually screamed when Faith stabbed him.
-When Wesley takes Angel's manacles off Faith and puts his own handcuffs on her, watch closely and you can see that one of the cuffs falls off her wrist and Eliza quickly covers it with her hand.
When Buffy visits the murder scene, the bloodstain on the wall seems to imply that Finch was stabbed and fell to the floor. However, Finch was stabbed while on the ground.
-When boxes falls on Buffy at the harbor scene she becomes stuck and tries to free herself at this point she is lying down on her back and Faith is being attacked by a group of vampires. In the next shot however you see Buffy sitting up in the backround watching Faith fight. The next shot shows Buffy lying on the ground trying to free herself again

Doppelgangland
-Time Index 14:45 - When Evil Willow is walking down the street the crane holding the night light is seen in the top of the screen. It is also aimed slightly off.
-Wesley gets into the bathroom before Cordelia and Evil-Willow: he was running toward them out in the hallway.
-How come when buffy got changed to be tested by Wesley, she changed into a skirt. (This is when she is calling Willow reliable)
-The scene where the 'evil Willow' licks the real Willow's neck.....we see the real Willow's hair tucked behind her left ear, then when the camera switches to the 'evil Willow' we see the hair isn't tucked behind her ear anymore.
-When Evil Willow is in the aley, and she asked the vampire who he worked for, she broke two of his fingers. Notice that when the camera viewed her about two brake the second one, it looked as if the first one was never broken.

Enemies
-When Angel picks up the letter opener in the Mayor's office, the reflection of his hand can be seen in the Mayor's nameplate.

Earshot
-Given the length of the rifle, and the shortness of his arms, Jonathan would've had one heck of a tough time trying to shoot himself with it.
-Oz asks Buffy if she saw a were-dog, but since he was at the game and it wasn't a full moon, he should have had no reason to think that there was another werewolf running around.
-The time on the bell tower clock changes when Buffy first looks up and sees Jonathan and then when she is running along the roof.
-When Buffy is fighting the cafeteria lady, she's gotten skinnier in the middle of the fight. It's pretty obvious that it was a stunt double
-When Angel is sitting on Buffy's bed the blinds on her window are open but angels not bursting into flame.
-When Buffy sees Jonathan in the clock tower, the clock says 12:40. When she runs up the stairs to climbs up and jumps in the tower window, the clock says 12:15.
-When Buffy is at Angel's and is reading his mind his necklace is under his shirt when the camera is facing him yet just over it when the camera is facing her. Although you do see it pop out of his shirt when he stands up it seems unlikely it would keep going in and out while he is sat still.

Choices
-After Buffy squashes the Gavrock creature, when Angel helps her up in the long shot the creature disappears from the floor until Angel sweeps it away with his foot.
-When the lights go out in the school, just before the Mayor walks in we get a shot of the whole gang. All of them are watching the doors but for some reason Angel is staring off to the side.
-When the Gavrok creature gets on Buffy's back, Angel moves to help Buffy and you can see Xander laughing at Buffy/Sarah in the back ground.

The Prom
-When Wesley first spots Cordelia at the prom, the napkin in his hand changes colour in different shots.
-After Buffy kills the hellhounds she takes her dress out of her weapons bag and walks away, leaving the bag sitting right outside the school. This seems a little strange.
-During Angel's dream (wedding) when Angel and Buffy exchange rings, Buffy had a gold ring on her right thumb, then the camera goes back to her when she puts on Angel's ring the ring disappears.

Graduation Day Part One
-Time Index 17:16 - When Joyce annnounces "Buffy, I'm Home" Boom Mic visible for about half a second.
-Time Index 20:50 - When Angel enters the apartment, boom mic is visible.
-When Willow says "Trusty vending machine, I push you for root beer, you give me coke" her finger is clearly on the pepsi button
-In a re-goof from 'Phases', during Faith and Buffy's fight Faith falls on the concrete floor and gets some white dust on her pants, but a few shots later it is gone.

Graduation Day Part Two
-Angel's reflection can be seen several times in the hospital, when he uses the payphone and in the glass door of Buffy's room.
-When Harmony gets bitten, it's amongst all the commotion-- practically a stampede-- of the students and vampires last stand-off. It seems unlikely that the vamp who bit her would take the time to make her a vampire too.
-When Angel takes Buffy to the hospital after feeding on her, he bursts through the doors of the ER carrying Buffy in his arms, but you can see that Sarah is still holding on to his neck from when he just picked her up prior to the start of the scene. As he moves through the ER, Sarah realizes she's supposed to be unconscious and relaxes her hold on him to let her arm just flop naturally.
-When Angel brings Buffy into the ER room, there's a security guard positioned outside. The guard can be seen when Angel steps into the hall to call Giles and Co. But when the Mayor and Angel get into a squirmish in Buffy's room a few minutes later, the nurse calls for security and nobody comes. The guard couldn't have gone that far.
-Its interesting that Oz brings up that they survived High School because he never cared about it so he would have survived either way.
-Notice: When Cordelia stakes the Vampire during the Graduation Battle, she uses no force between her attack. Seeing how she is not a Slayer, it does seem likely that the stake would be able to break through the Vampire's clothes and rib cage.
 
I noticed a few of them. I wanna look for the boom mic's though, lol.
 
Here ar a few of my opinions with the fllowing 'bloopers'

She could of easily put it there, it takes not even a secound for someone to do that!

She also said, "your periodic tale is on the back", so it dosent really matter!

I think he must mean, surviving - without dying! (you know living above the hellmouth and all.)
