"Yeah, the 1992 movie should not be considered canon when it comes to the TV show; the vampires can fly in the movie, they don't dust, and Buffy's watcher says that he is a reincarnation of many past watchers. Also, the stakes are a lot bigger (I mean the actual wooden stakes, not that the situation's more important, hehe)...maybe they're like cell phones, by 1997 they were a lot smaller and more compact the same way cell phones are."
Kill Him A Lot!
Also, in the '92 cinematic interpretation, isn't Buffy's menstrual cycle or something like a radar to approaching bad guys?
Merrick in the series would have made an interesting Watcher, I think. I've always seen the Watchers Council as a mixed bag of the righteous, the control-freaks, and quasi-authoritarians. Merrick was a sympathetic character.
In the movie, she got cramps "like" menstrual cramps.
In an early Jossian writer's draft of the movie, possibly pre-sales, Buffy takes out the main vamp with a pencil that was handy.
Thus leading us to a vamp dusting because a levitating #2 poked him in the shoulderblade in "Choices."
Don't they usually expect crazy folk to be stronger than normal?
There's tear your restraints stronger than normal, and then there's deform rifle barrels like bendy straws stronger than normal.
Interesting story, a friend's father once worked in a psychiatric institution. He lost his nerve for it and quit when a genial trustee was mopping up one night and said "I like you. And it's a good thing, because if I didn't like you I'd do this to you." And then snapped the handle of the mop he was holding.

Yeah, but Buff tends to fluctuate between those two levels anyway (as do the vamps). It's a dramatic moment thing, much like Roger Rabbit and the handcuffs.
Oh my. Is that for a role?
Terrible terrible horrible look. But EC looks good.

True. Lemme tell ya, watching "Two to Go" and "What's My Line" there's quite a disconnect between Buffy bending jail cell bars like taffy in about 2.5 seconds and Angel getting stuck in a flimsy mesh cage for hours when he knew sunrise was going to become a problem.
Handlebar moustaches creep. me. out.
Wow. Just . . . wow.
If Angel(us) with spectacles ever met Xander with handlebar mustache, the ensuing laughter would stop my heart for sure.
