Buffy's list of Cordelia's strengths reads: "Popular With Boys, Makes Friends Easily, Has Money To Buy Votes, Expensive Clothes, Perfect Teeth." Her list of weaknesses reads: "Manipulative, Two-Faced, Bad in Sports, Superficial, No Sense of Humor, Fake Smile, Brie, Xander." In Dead Man's Party (1998), both Cordelia and Xander express a dislike for brie cheese.
Chad Stahelski, who played Kulak (the yellow demon with dinosaur-like head ridges) was more often employed as a stunt performer or coordinator; one of his first jobs had been to double Brandon Lee's character in The Crow after the actor was tragically killed in an on-set accident during filming. Later in his career, Stahelski turned to directing, helming the movies in the action-heavy John Wick franchise.
This exchange was cut for length:
- Buffy: "Okay, how 'bout...you vote for me and I don't beat the living crap out of you."
- Jonathan: "That works good for me."
- Buffy: "Tell your friends!"
This is the final Buffy script to be written by David Greenwalt, as he shifted his attention to preparing Angel (1999) for the following season.
