- Buffy (Sophia Crawford) vs. Faith (Karen Sheperd) breaking glass in THIS YEARS GIRL. (btw-the cop getting shoved is me;)
Some LIVING CONDITIONS bits.
Spike gets Hong Kong veteran Steve Tartalia to be his regular stunt double from HARSH LIGHT OF DAY on (after the other guys and even myself had been doubling Spike). Joss liked the look of his square jaw as it matched James better than the rest of us.
Plus, a little playful action between Buffy and Riley at the gym.

As someone who used to memorize and play out these fight scenes, I really appreciate seeing this. Great choreography, and the stunt doubles really put their all into it. I mean, they seriously endured all that stuff? The 'Harsh Light of Day' fight sequence between Buffy and Spike is one of my favourites of the entire show, and it's incredible to see it like this.
I just want to say, I've always loved the choreography from buffy seasons 1-4, I think they were quiet honestly some of the best i've ever seen. So much talent and fluidity. I watch these daily they even help as for as my work out sessions. I'm so glad to have found these! I've been looking for years
You honestly have no idea how much I appreciate this side of my favourite show you have let us see. The best part of Buffy was the amazing fight scenes, especially the Buffy/Spike one here. Ahhhh man all those years as a youngster I wanted to be SMG but alas it was actually Sophia I wanted to be. Who knew! Unsung heroes you guys are :D Much love x
Thanks. Last night I posted the Angel vs Riley fight, but I pulled it because the quality was so bad. Today I'm digitizing the original footage and I'll put it up soon.
Since die-hard fans have supported us through the ups and downs of the show I want to give them the best quality I can. So from here on I'll be going to the original tapes instead of just a copy of some other edit. I'll try to put something up every couple of weeks if I have time.
Thanks again to everyone.
Always amazes me how fast Sophia is! Wish you'd upload some more, Jeff! :)
I think it's hilarious when Aly just comes in and hits her with the bag.
Season four is sooo good. In spite of the season's monster being a bore. The posters on "TV Without Pity" agreed about the lots outdoor filming uplifted the overall mood. It's the season with the most sunshine! Plus, there wasn't a dud episode out of 22.
really? i didnt like "beer bad" or "where the wild things are" at all.
p.s. the only good part of "where the wild things are" was giles singing
Season four is my favorite season
Contrary to the hype, Sarah didn't have any martial arts skills when we started. Very gradually we got her to do some moves, but you could not linger on her or it would not look like what we came to know as "the Slayer."
She got better as the years went on and we could do more with her, but if you tried to do a long fight with just her you'd never make the day and it would look pretty weak. I think what we did by merging Sophia and Sarah gave us the kind of action Joss wanted for the show.
@Chanel Oberlin Why? Image, showbiz hype; hype to promote and puff up her image to the fans; and more importantly (to the actors and producers) it's called syndication, which equals residuals. Above all else, they want to protect the money coming in. It's all about money.
These videos are such a service to the fans, Jeff. Really, just wow. Thank you for sharing!
We new Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV 📺 show 100,000 likes Buffy the Vampire Slayer game 100,000 likes story mode 2K thank you 😊
Just read your message Lee. Thanks so much. I think enough time has gone by now that everyone involved with the show would actually enjoy seeing my videos.
We've gotten some great feedback so far from the fans. It means a lot to know that we inspired some people out there. Sophia has had a big smile all day after reading the various comments.
I'll post some more in a few days or so. Thanks again.
I tell my mma, martial arts friends to watch Buffy all the time. I mean who doesn't appreciate seeing a demon or vamp get a perfect roundhouse to the face?
Was that actually Marc Blucas in the last bit? it looked a hell of a lot like him, couldnt quite make out his face properly though
That’s what I wondered.
These are so awesome. I'm so impressed with how professional and amazing all of these fights look, even in their rough states with no editing etc. I have a new appreciation for the stunts on Buffy after watching these clips. Can't wait to see more!!
When Faith and Buffy are falling down the stairs, U can actually see the camera next to the stairs in the Episode :D
Remember when damn gets kidnapped by glory's minions? That scene when Anya gets knocked out at the back door, u can see someone's hand holding the door when Anya is on the ground. I love looking for those things too haha
Thank you so much for these. I've always adored that fight from 'Harsh Light of Day'. So nicely done. :D
YES YES YES!! this is beyond amazing. This Year's Girl is one of my favorite episodes, the fight scenes making it even more great.
Buffy fight scenes were the best seasons 2 3 4 season 5 was cool but they seemed slower?? I don't know but that series was amazing I miss them
Faith and Illyria were my faves along with Buffy
Thank you Jeff Pruitt!!
Oh my gosh! This stuff looks great even without the cuts. So professional!
Thanks for these. It is great to see all that went into the show behind the scenes. Without Sophia I don't think Buffy would have been such a kick ass character. It looks like she took quite the beating but kept on going! So awesome!
Nope.
Season 1 Sophia was there but I wasn't. They were doing the usual (at that time) Hollywood TV method of making fights. You have the actors try to do nearly the entire fight and then segments with the stunt people. Season 1 is when Sarah did the most. That works for the old John Wayne style of fight, but not martial arts on TV. There isn't enough time on a tight schedule to do very much.
Joss told me I would only be able to do two or three moves each fight. hehe
That was amazing, I love behind the scenes stuff lets the fans take a look at all the hard work that went into the amazing show and Sophia is just Awsome, it's great to see a woman doing stunts!!
Awesome Jeff! Just amazing the work you all did on the greatest show ever, all the best! Buffy forever!!
Thanks for posting these! I always loved the stunt where Spike throws Buffy on the glass table. Brutal!
Karen did the fights for Faith from the moment the character first appeared. Jennifer Badger did the high fall at the end of Graduation Day and some other things.
God these videos are awesome. Such badass stunt women!
wow i love buffy the vampire slayer and i think you did a wonderful job, i loved every single fight in buffy and i was sad when you left the show, thank you sophia and thank you jeff you rock, sorry for my bad english i am from mexico xd
its soo cool seeing all the little things that didnt make it into the episodes
To Imzeikycheiky: I don't know who removed your question but it wasn't me.
The question was: "Did Sarah do any of her own stunts?" The answer: No. Sophia did the fights and stunts and then I picked three spots to insert close-ups of Sarah staking or starting a movement. Plus, I had to choreograph moments for the dialogue inserts. This was the fastest method to get the maximum done and still look decent fight-wise. Wasn't enough time to do too much with Sarah and she didn't want to.
Wow this is just amazing :D! Thank you soooo much! There was never enough BTS of buffy :(
Love these. I hope bygones are bygones and that therefore your behind-the-scenes stunt footage can wind up on the Buffy BluRays when production of the BluRay versions gets underway. Truly I hope you and Sophia might be invited to do some commentary over the footage too. It's time.
thank you so much for sharing I love love watching this stuff :D
Did Marc Blucas do a lot of his own stunt work?
Oh shit I was asking the same thing was that Marc Blucas
All your vids are just Awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! You're make an amazing job on this show!!! Please share more vids!!! :D
Thank you so much
I love this show so much! The only thing I can't stand looking at it now compared to then is who plays Spike's double. His hair is awful and he just never moved with the same fluid grace. I wish James Marsters could have done more of his own stunts! You did a fantastic job on this series though. S3 and 4 had the best fight scenes out of all 7 seasons.
Wow, that's amazing!
When she fights with Spike, you can actually see her stunt double during the scene
Good job again to you two! You really made the show special and gave it a cinematic effect with A+++ grade stunts. I actually sent you an Inbox mail with all my thoughts!
Great stuff! Thanks for posting these videos! Who is Riley's stunt double in the final scene?
awesome job! congrats!!
I'm still watching buffy episodes but I always stop watching at the end of season 4 since the quality of the stunt changed so much from season 5 till the end and i couldn't help myself comparing the old buffy vs the new one. Cause i adore the way Buffy/Sophia fights and the stunt team.
I agree..I noticed that after season 4, the fight scenes were less detailed and fast pace....I think that contributed to she not being as good...Most people probably don't notice it though.
emergencyexit16 I noticed a drastic difference in the right quality the first fight of the first episode of season 5... I was heart broken by the slow meh fights after Jeff and Sophia left.
Fight*
Jeff- do u have the fights when Buffy fights the demons when she's trapped in the sewer? Or when she's training with the initiative men and she fights them in the woods?
Thanks for upload these videos !! Forgive for my ignorance but... did you worked on Buffy the vampire slayer? I love this TV show and I appreciate your work a lot.
Sorry for my bad English.
These are so wonderful to see, thank you! My bestie and I train Wushu and we do a lot of choreographed fights and stunt choreography for films is something she is really interested in pursuing as a career. Any advice you could give for someone looking to explore the field?
I totally need to get some of the breakable furniture lol
I wanna kick ass like Sophia Crawford.
...that still has to hurt.
This is so much fun to watch! Do you know if Karen returned as Eliza's stunt double in 2003 when the character Faith came back to Buffy and Angel?
u did really great job on buffy, why did you leave the show ?
Holy crap Buffy's real
is this only the stunt doubles?
Jeff, who doubled Eliza in here? is it still Karen Sheppard?
please upload the Becoming sword fight stuff
She goes through glass a lot!
She kicks him really far at the end. >.<
Whats the name of the machine that throws people through the air...?
The Flingy? :P
@@kurgan668 If true (I know it's not) wouldn't it be the Flingy Thingy? : )
@@davidroberts1702 Mr. Flingy
i always new that it was diff ppl fighting for them
catherine acosta Of course!
How many actors/actresses can tackle harder stunts themselves?
Going off topic...
Most of the stunt doubles have aged since this show. If they are still performing stunts, it would be for older actors. This was shot slightly more than 2 decades ago I believe.
Angel and Spike have gained 20 lbs since then with an older face.
