This is a fantastic reminder that this wonderful show wasn’t just about one flawed man who created the initial idea... it’s about the wonderful and talented group of people that brought it to life. Thank you.
Thank you, so much, for saying this. JW's "taint" on the show should have no effect on the crew's contribution, who did so much to make this show what it was (especially given the fact that they, the crew, also suffered from the "hollywood" poison handed out to them).
It looks so seamless when you watch the episodes. It’s evident watching these just how much work went into each episode. Definitely one of the best tv shows of all time. Still holds up 20 years later.
As kids with a friend we would spend hours trying to recreate Buffy’s fights and stunts in the park. Getting to watch this at 35 is a proper blessing. Thank you so much.
I can see now why the show had 13 to 16 hour days. So much work goes into just the fight scenes alone. For those wondering why SMG and David did not do most of there stunts. If they get hurt production takes forever and on a show like this with smaller budgets that's not good.
take Lucy lawless(Xena) accident on jay leno, she did her own stunts but had to cut back some. sure it wasnt on set but still you hurt the star you can hurt production and she couldnt do a lot after.
I recently had a death in my family and have been struggling emotionally, this was a welcome and much needed distraction, thank you for posting this. God bless you.
I am praying for you. 💗🙏🏻✝️ May the Lord Jesus Christ bring you comfort. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
It's fun watching these behind-the-scenes vids. You can see the exact moment when Sarah becomes Buffy, even before the cameras start rolling. Also, watching Stunt Buffy tutor Sarah Buffy is sorta like watching Buffy with her actual Watcher. On a sidenote: What's up with that guy that looks like Munch?
If you check out the B vs F first fight in the mansion vid you'll see that Sarah is wearing sneakers. She did this so that she wouldn't worry about slipping in those "Buffy boots". If you don't see her feet then she's in her sneakers most of the time. There was one fight between actors without any stunt doubles. Larry's stunt double was in a car crash and didn't make it to set, so Xander and Larry did the fight on their own. It was a blast and I could trust those two guys completely.
This probably was shot after an already long day of shooting dialogue scenes. Sarah looks tired but I think she really put a lot into The Wish fight when you watch it. Great work Jeff as usual.
Wow this is truly an amazing gift to be able to see behind the scenes. It really puts in perspective that a show is nothing without all the stunt doubles and everyone else. The actress couldn’t have pulled any of this off without her stunt double except for her up-close acting scenes. WOW! I really never realized it wasn’t her in the fight scenes. Absolutely amazing and a treat to see these!!! Why does she go outside sometimes? Does she literally get too hot in that building? 🤔 Interesting. I have watched all these episodes more than once. THANK YOU sooo much for the upload!!! First time I have ever seen anything like this yet alone for a show I watched all of the episodes for many years!!! 🙏 ☺️
"VAMPIRE!" Haha, wonderful! It's so great seeing the way scenes like this are done and moments like that vampire just standing above waiting for his cue are so amusing. It's the little things.
During s2 I used to run over and pick her up when this happened. I was afraid the headline would be, "Idiot stunt coordinator pushes actress into coma." But Sarah told me that this was a common thing for her and when it happened she would step off set to get some fresh air. We all got pretty used to it. She just can't handle too much heat.
Jeff, thank you so much for posting these behind the scenes vids! You and Sophia always did such an amazing job on the show. As much as we loved the storylines, we also loved watching Sophia kick a little ass. :)
Thank you, Jeff, for sharing this awesome look behind the scenes. 'Anne' and "The Wish' are two of my favorites, so this was a real treat. All the hard work you all put into this great show is sincerely appreciated. This show spoke to my own high school years, where I could identify a lot with Xander. My sense of humor was more or less a defense mechanism.. I also identify so much with Brendan Nicholas on a personal level. This show helped my son in his high school years, which I am thankful for, as well.
Most of those pre-edited fight videos I posted here I gave to the studio to use in the 7 season box set collection. They were only able to include a couple of fights that Sophia and I talked about during our 10 minute bonus feature they made called "It's not a chick fight".
Usually I would have her stand in place. That way we didn't have to worry about her slipping or twisting an ankle. Sophia and the Master step toward each other and perform full contact hits. (We made contact because of the slo-motion). David Greenwalt wanted Sarah to walk to Nick, block his punch and stake him in the same way. But it was too hard for Sarah to meet Nick at a specific mark and do her action perfectly, so we compromised and had her stand in one spot and let Nick come to her.
Literally adored this show so much💗 i was never available to work my after school mall gig on Tuesday nights bc that was Buffy Night...don't call, don't beep, just don't lol My friend would even tell our manager not to call bc it's Buffy Night and i'm not gonna answer.😂 Loved this glimpse into the hard work that made the show so rad💗 Thanks so much for sharing this(and Cordy's omg awesome red dress!!!)😂💗✨✨
This is a really great video, it shows how much work it is to film an elaborate fight scene like this. It looks hard enough for the actors and stunt doubles in front of the camera but it looks just as hard for the director in charge to coordinate everything and make sure everything gets done properly and on time. I love these videos, I've been a fan of this channel for years and have been hoping Jeff would continue to upload more videos like this. Please Jeff if you have more Buffy behind the scenes stuff (especially stuff with Sarah) share it with us because fans are dying to see it. Seeing videos like this we can see that Sarah Michelle Gellar was "Buffy" but Sophia Crawford was really "The Slayer" after all!
THANKS FOR SHARING THESE VIDEOS. I'm a big Buffy and have always appreciated the action scenes and have always wanted see behind the scenes stuff of the Stuntmen!
The producers had a rule of not allowing an actor to hit another actor. Whenever you see an actor hit a lead actor it's a stunt double - except here. We wanted to get shots of the actors faces together as this is the only time Buffy kills her friends and it was dramatic. So we edited Sarah and Sophia together when she hits Aly and just used Sarah staking Nick in slo-mo.
LOVE this fun fact!! Actually, I love ALL of your videos and really enjoy going back to them and being mesmerized by the work you and Sophia (and all the other stunt crew) put in. My uncle was actually a stuntman/vampire in the first season, so it's because of him why I initially got hooked on the show
omg thank you so much for showing us buffy fans these videos... i love them... and i love when Sarah is in them... were you still doing the show during season 5, 6, and 7?? i'd love to see the fight scenes and stuff then with sarah and james... and also in season 2 with sarah and james... if you don't have those that's okay... thanks again. love love love these!!!! BTW Sarah is so freaking stunning, i just love her so very much!!! she's my idol... Sarah and James i would LOVE to meet one day.
Its always been my dream to be a director, or even just work on a set to watch and learn. Yourself and Sophia are just incredible profressionals and the Buffy crew were so lucky to have you. Its just such a shame you guys didnt continue with the rest of the series. The fights after season 4 were enjoyable, but not edge of your seat exciting like these were
I agree, the quality in the stunt work and fights fell off dramatically beginning with season 5 when Buffy got a new double and a new stunt coordinator was hired. Always wondered what happened and why Jeff and Sophia left the series.
Wish was a great episode. I remember watching the first series and thinking "Hmmm, wonder what would have become of Sunnydale if Buffy never came." And then Wish came along 😂
tbh if Buffy had never come to Sunnydale then the "twin sunnydale would be piled high with dead humans and vampires, demons etc. What slayer did Sarah play in (Wish) because if buffy never existed, then what was her name in this episode. I dont think we heard the name being mentioned???
@@outtherelivinginthepub1973 she played Buffy, just a Buffy that never have come to Sunnydale and Giles never became her watcher. Cordelia mentioned to the Gang that Buffy should have been there etc, and Giles then called Buffy's "other" watcher and asked for her to come. She actually says to Giles that she's Buffy Summers
Very cool, thanks for sharing this, Jeff. I've been watching this series since like 2001-2003 on TV with translation in Ukrainian, and then rewatching it every few years on PC without the translation after I learned English well enough.
First of all thank you so so so much for uploading this! Just love to see Sophia fight & I love Behind The Scenes footage of the Buffy cast especially SMG :) Do you happen to have more? I became kind of addicted to your Buffy videos. Secondly, so cute how you caught Sarah after the Master snapped her neck! Just aww.
The other girl is Lisa-Ray. She was Sarah's lighting stand-in. You can see her in the S2 cast and crew video I made sitting on top of a grave marker next to Sophia as she explains her job.
Again...very nice work Jeff. Makes you feel like you were there on set, at the same time discovering archival footage of a time long gone. The Wish was also one of the best episodes of the series so congrats to giving us a great look at that episode. Hopefully we get many, many more behind the scenes home videos like this featuring the cast, crew and stunt people. Also again very vintage 90s.
It is really interesting to observe how they record the movie scenes.Sarah looks like really like a slayer with heavy ,strong power.I like the vampires faces,the grimm is definitely cool.
In the first scene, I remember back several times in the DVD to see the stuntman kicks, technique and speed! In the wish like the short kicks and jumping kicks, great!
Hi! Thank you very much for all that extra footage on Buffy. It's always interesting to see how you people work on a set, not only the stunt team but also all the other ones involved to make a show work. Your fights were "tough and rough". After you left the show, I think the fights lost that"street fighting "aspect to become more "superhero" fights with more sommersaults or backflips. That change was interesting and brought something different to the show.
Growing up I watch the show faithfully every Monday then after three seasons it started coming on Tuesday nights, Anyways recapping the episodes as an adult, and I have to say I don't know how I never noticed the stunt doubles as much as I do now..
I know, you can easily tell when it's the stunt double pretty much all the time. Older shows did a much poorer job of hiding the doubles than they do today. It's a big reason why HD remasters ruin older TV shows because the new high def clarity reveals the doubles even more so.
Wow! Now that I know more about the episode's of season 3. It will be even cooler, now that I have seen this video. Because I'll know when it's actually Sarah doing a stunt!😊
This was awesome! I keep hitting the replay button! 😅 You guys crack me up! Nice work! And I'm just curious. Do you have one for Prophecy Girl? It's okay if you don't. That was an interesting episode of BTVS. XD They're all interesting as heck!
As a fan I feel uncomfortable with many questions that go unanswered about the involvement of actors and stuntmen in Buffy. The fact is that Jeff and Crawford printed a way to make believable fight scenes, this being the factor responsible for the success of the series, which brought fame to SMG.
Hi Jeff thanks for sharing these, It was interesting to see and a little depressing knowing that most or pretty much all the Martial art sequences were performed by a stunt double and Not Sarah. I was always under the Impression that Sarah did a lot of the Martial arts since it has been known that she took Martial arts. The scenes are put together nicely but I wished Sarah had done more of the actual fighting.
watching how they make buffy would help a lot of directors learn how to use body doubles, camera angles and cranking, lighting, etc. a lot better. you can see how they light up their stuff to avoid using day for night camera filming and also make a realistic fight without shaky cam.
Well this is nice! though I'd like to see a WB Network from 1998, declaring that Season 3 of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer is in Production. though I'm looking for some older WB stuff including their on-air branding, network image campaigns, bumpers, ids, promos, launch campaigns.
Called opinions bro. When it comes to the Buffy series, I've always observed 3 opinions on the series as most have. People who loved the first 3-4 seasons for being more highschoolish. People who loved seasons 5-7 because they moved on from the highschool aspect and suffered losses, more real to life. And of course, people who loved the whole series and see it as a great series. The problem (like most tv shows) is that fans/people get upset if you don't pick a side in these sort of things.
+FearFanatic86 I don't know who said it, but it seems to be a comment on SMG saying she can't judge the distance of a roundhouse punch,, as in how close it is to her head, and its path, from outside to inside, with NB trying to explain that too. Thing is, this is a basic in MA (and what's more, she was shown how to do it just previously). Why the comment? And about which of the two? Who knows. There was (as you probably know) some tension about her MA abilities, or lack of them, behind the scenes.. I"m trying to be nice here, and not mention what's obvious (good examples: around 6:08 and 16:32) : )
But from watching some of this I think Sarah wasnt at 100% I think she was having a bad time with depth perception because she was either ill, or suffering from heat exhaustion. I heard them say at 12:22 that Sarah was hiperventilating and shortly thereafter had to step outside to get some fresh air. With the amount of lighting on that set I would assume that she was suffering from heat exhaustion because those film lights heat up a room fast. At 16:21 Sarah says, "I can't judge that today." which to me means that on a normal day she could but for whatever reason today she can't.
Yeah, we can't get inside SMG's head, so maybe that's a factor, who knows. And the comment from behind the camera isn't fair; she's an actress, not an MA (although she's presented herself as one to the media. So maybe that's why the "wimp" comment). But we can look at the physical action, and she obviously locates NB's arm ok, so the problem is that she isn't actually doing the move shown to her by JP. If she had done it, then she'd realize that depth perception isn't needed; the "riding" action of the block shown to her is designed exactly for the issue of only partially locating the arm; that's why it covers such a wide area (if you do what JP demonstrated). And if you think about it, she doesn't have to make contact at all, from that camera angle. And of course NB isn't going to clock her, he's going to pull the punch. My point is that, feeling off or not, she simply isn't competent in MA, she couldn't repeat what was shown to her, and it's obvious to anyone who comes from a background. But I wouldn't call her a "wimp" because she can't do it. I'd call her an actress, who moves like an actress and total non stunt person, or an MA. That's why them have 'em on set.
I really wish you and Sophia stayed on the show after season 4, your fights were always so entertaining and very cool! Idk what the hell happened in seasons 5-7, the fights in those seasons were very mediocre and not as creative, fast paced, or entertaining as your work. That new coordinator they brought in on the show had absolutely NOTHING on you!! Sophia was amazing as well, she is certainly a BEAST
This is a fantastic reminder that this wonderful show wasn’t just about one flawed man who created the initial idea... it’s about the wonderful and talented group of people that brought it to life. Thank you.
Thank you, so much, for saying this. JW's "taint" on the show should have no effect on the crew's contribution, who did so much to make this show what it was (especially given the fact that they, the crew, also suffered from the "hollywood" poison handed out to them).
What taint?
Nor one flawed woman who had the lead role.

Awesome god love seeing these give us more please? why did the videos ever come out on dvd there great?
Give me the relative excitement of the writers' room *any* day, haha!

The sad thing is, SMG went on national TV to claim it was all due to her MA skills (which are non existent).
Thanks for sharing, an interesting look behind the curtain:)
Amazing. Thanks so much for giving us an inside look!
Do you by any chance have the episode school hard from season 2 I would love to see how the fight scene between buffy and spike was made :)
freaking awesome that u keep all this stuff!!!!
Hi Jeff thanks for sharing these, It was interesting to see and a little depressing knowing that most or pretty much all the Martial art sequences were performed by a stunt double and Not Sarah. I was always under the Impression that Sarah did a lot of the Martial arts since it has been known that she took Martial arts. The scenes are put together nicely but I wished Sarah had done more of the actual fighting.
I know she didnt do alot but to be honest, I think she did a little more than whats shown in the videos lol
SMG herself is a brown belt in Taekwondo I'm sure she could have done some of the stunts but as mentioned if she got hurt that would be an issue
This is what happens when people love their jobs and pour passion into it.
Really interesting to watch 😍 thx ❤
watching how they make buffy would help a lot of directors learn how to use body doubles, camera angles and cranking, lighting, etc. a lot better. you can see how they light up their stuff to avoid using day for night camera filming and also make a realistic fight without shaky cam.
10:28 Buffy vs The Master in real time.
Looks so real.
20:43 , did someone just say "butt scan"? :D
They work hard , that's why it was a good show hard work pays off
Well this is nice! though I'd like to see a WB Network from 1998, declaring that Season 3 of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer is in Production. though I'm looking for some older WB stuff including their on-air branding, network image campaigns, bumpers, ids, promos, launch campaigns.
It's like Christmas 🎄 i never seen these before
100,000 likes Buffy the Vampire Slayer on TV show 100,000 lives TV show
PG13 this year happy new year 🎊 2021-2022
Thank's for the video we love them :)
I keep thinking the guy on the right corner at 21:58 is David, but it’s just his stunt double or something
I think Sophia deserves more credit tbh yeah Sarah was Buffy but Sophia she was the slayer
Damn, making movies is so mundane.
No. Everything depended on how the censors were acting as to what I was allowed to do. It varied from time to time.
This is so awesome to see!!!
Called opinions bro. When it comes to the Buffy series, I've always observed 3 opinions on the series as most have. People who loved the first 3-4 seasons for being more highschoolish. People who loved seasons 5-7 because they moved on from the highschool aspect and suffered losses, more real to life. And of course, people who loved the whole series and see it as a great series. The problem (like most tv shows) is that fans/people get upset if you don't pick a side in these sort of things.
JasonLives666 in my opinion my lease favorite is season 4 except for a couple episodes
And I think season 6 was the best it was really emotional with Buffy coming back and her and spike plus the musical
Who is saying, "What a wimp" , under their breath when Sarah and Nicky are rehearsing? Who are they referring to?
+gr23452 good question...im wondering the same....
+FearFanatic86 I don't know who said it, but it seems to be a comment on SMG saying she can't judge the distance of a roundhouse punch,, as in how close it is to her head, and its path, from outside to inside, with NB trying to explain that too. Thing is, this is a basic in MA (and what's more, she was shown how to do it just previously). Why the comment? And about which of the two? Who knows. There was (as you probably know) some tension about her MA abilities, or lack of them, behind the scenes.. I"m trying to be nice here, and not mention what's obvious (good examples: around 6:08 and 16:32) : )
But from watching some of this I think Sarah wasnt at 100% I think she was having a bad time with depth perception because she was either ill, or suffering from heat exhaustion. I heard them say at 12:22 that Sarah was hiperventilating and shortly thereafter had to step outside to get some fresh air. With the amount of lighting on that set I would assume that she was suffering from heat exhaustion because those film lights heat up a room fast. At 16:21 Sarah says, "I can't judge that today." which to me means that on a normal day she could but for whatever reason today she can't.
Yeah, we can't get inside SMG's head, so maybe that's a factor, who knows. And the comment from behind the camera isn't fair; she's an actress, not an MA (although she's presented herself as one to the media. So maybe that's why the "wimp" comment).
But we can look at the physical action, and she obviously locates NB's arm ok, so the problem is that she isn't actually doing the move shown to her by JP. If she had done it, then she'd realize that depth perception isn't needed; the "riding" action of the block shown to her is designed exactly for the issue of only partially locating the arm; that's why it covers such a wide area (if you do what JP demonstrated). And if you think about it, she doesn't have to make contact at all, from that camera angle. And of course NB isn't going to clock her, he's going to pull the punch.
My point is that, feeling off or not, she simply isn't competent in MA, she couldn't repeat what was shown to her, and it's obvious to anyone who comes from a background. But I wouldn't call her a "wimp" because she can't do it. I'd call her an actress, who moves like an actress and total non stunt person, or an MA. That's why them have 'em on set.
Whoever said it, that's was straight savageness!
opening scene is from Anne - not the wish
Je suis la seul a être française et a adorée Buffy contre les vempires c est trop trop good
Manon Bernard et non tu n est pas seul
Ok cool
Non contente de vous lire 😄
i dont understand why such things arent on the DVD boxes as bonus material.....
Imagine pretending to snap somebody’s neck scary lol (ik they’re acting and they have safe ways to make it look real but it was still scary)
I really wish you and Sophia stayed on the show after season 4, your fights were always so entertaining and very cool! Idk what the hell happened in seasons 5-7, the fights in those seasons were very mediocre and not as creative, fast paced, or entertaining as your work. That new coordinator they brought in on the show had absolutely NOTHING on you!! Sophia was amazing as well, she is certainly a BEAST
2:40 interview with the vampire
Sarah looks very focused and professional.
She is
