When fans first met Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she wasn’t the pop culture-referencing and sharp-witted Sarah Michelle Gellar that we know and love today. She was actually the bubble gum-chewing cheerleader Kristy Swanson who hung around mentor Donald Sutherland, the man who trained her how to go up against bad vampires Rutger Hauer and Paul Reubens.
The first iteration of Buffy occurred in 1992 with a movie that most fans of the TV series like to pretend didn’t exist. The movie, a comedy, was so bad that it often gets roasted by fans and movie critics alike. It remains important, though, because it did help launch the beloved television series.
In the movie, Buffy is an airheaded high school girl who discovers that she is a slayer, part of an ancient order meant to kill vampires. Her mentor, Merrick (Sutherland), trains her so that she can uncover a nefarious plot hashed by an evil vampire King. It’s the same plot as the TV series, but done in an entirely different (and horrible) way. But although almost every Buffy fan knows the movie, there are probably some facts that they aren’t aware of.
