Pike and Buffy become unlikely and sweet allies. He found his best buddy floating outside his 2 nd story window the night before. On her first night hunting she stumbles across Pike, local slacker (Luke Perry). Buffy immediately accuses Merrick of being a creepy old guy who attacks little girls.Įventually Merrick convinces her of the truth and training begins. She is the Chosen One destined to save humanity from vampires. The Chosen OneĮverything changes when Merrick shows up after cheer practice and tells Buffy she is a Slayer. She’s the head cheerleader and the vapid high school queen rating everything in her life by taste and popularity. Kristie Swanson is charming, clueless Buffy whose goals are to graduate high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater and die. Look for pre–Oscars Hilary Swank as one of Buffy’s BFFs, David Arquette, Ben Affleck, Rikki Lake, Slash and Liz Smith. You could almost make a game out of spotting the cameos. Donald Sutherland plays wise watcher Merrick, Rutger Hauer is fabulous head vampire Lothos, and Paul Reubens stars as his hilarious henchman. The cast is stellar and Buffy is almost worth watching for that alone. If you are a big fan of the series, go in knowing only the basic premise will be the same.
