Review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) by Lisa Michelle A — 08 Jan 2010

I saw this way before the TV Show of the same name started and it was so good and so funny!!! I love it and own the DVD which I watch constantly. As good as Kristy Swanson & Luke Perry were in this I don't think the show would have been as popular as it was if they had been in the roles. Still a great film though.

The best lines (in no particular order):

Merrick: "None of the other girls ever gave me this much trouble.".

Buffy: "And where are they now? Hello!".

Pike: "Buffy, you're the guy. You are the chosen guy.".

Buffy: "Right. I'm the chosen one. And I choose to be shopping.".

Buffy: "All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And then you come along and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me?".

Merrick: "I had to show you".

Buffy: "You threw a knife at my head!".

Merrick: "Yes, I had to show you.".

Buffy: "But... you "threw" a "knife" at my "head.".

Merrick: "And you caught it. Only the chosen one could have caught it.".

(Buffy punches Merrick).

Buffy: "Oh, wow. I-I never hit anybody before.".

Merrick: "Really? Well you did it perfectly.".

Buffy: "I didn't even break a nail.".

Buffy: "Does the word "duh" mean anything to you?".

Buffy: "I have something that the other girls didn't have.".

Merrick: "And what might that be, pray?".

Buffy: "My keen fashion sense!".

Merrick: "Oh, vampires of the world beware.".

Buffy: "Merrick, you made a Joke. Are you okay? Do You want to lie down? I know it hurts the first time.".

[Amilyn has lost an arm].

Amilyn: "We're immortal, Buffy. We can do anything.".

Buffy: "Oh yeah? Clap.".

Cheerleaders: "How funky is your chicken? How funky is your chicken? How loose is your goose? Our goose is totally loose! So come on all you Hog fans, so come on all you Hog fans and shake your caboose, and shake your caboose! WHoooO!".

My Actor/Actress review:

Kristy Swanson - she was hilarious as Buffy! I first became a fan of hers after watching this.

Luke Perry - I loved him as Pike, he was really handsome back then.

Donald Sutherland - great as Merrick.

Paul Reubens - so freaking funny as Amilyn.
