Quotes:

  • [The Coach is having the last pep-talk with his team, pointing at a piece of paper with an infinity-sign, some male / female symbols and the eye inside the pyramid]
    Coach: ...therefore, if we all work together, together we'll work out. Are you with me? Get out there! All right! Score some... eh... points! Hey, you missed practice again today! I think you better sit down and think about how that made me feel...
     
  • Merrick: None of the other girls ever gave me this much trouble.
    Buffy: And where are they now? Hello!
     
  • Amilyn: We're immortal, Buffy. We can do anything.
    Buffy: Oh yeah? Clap.
     
  • Buffy: I've got something the other girls don't.
    Merrick: And what's that?
    Buffy: My keen fashion sense!
    Merrick: Oh, vampires of the world beware.
     
  • Buffy: Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?
     

Trivia:

  • Buffy's last name is never mentioned in the movie. Not until the release of the series was she referred to as Buffy Summers.
     
  • In the original version of the script, Merrick committed suicide to escape being turned into a vampire by Lothos, who wanted to know the Slayer's identity so he could kill her.
     
  • Ben Affleck appears as an extra (a basketball player).
     
  • Seth Green, the only person in the movie to be in the spin-off show, was cut from the movie, but still appears on the video cover.
     

Credits Fun:

  • TV interviews with people at the dance that were attacked by vampires.
     
  • Amilyn revives to go through some more death throes.
