Kristy Swanson as Buffy
Kristy Swanson is a materialistic and airheaded high school cheerleader and soon finds out that she is the descendant of a vampire stalker from the Dark Ages and it's her heritage to carry on the anti-bloodsucker war. Her mentor is Merrick (Donald Sutherland), a joy to watch as he trains her in fangbusting, and Kristy learns martial arts. Not a great vampire comedy, but fun to watch Kristy use somersaulting abilities to battle the vampires in L.A.

Personal quotes
"I won't date a guy who doesn't own a toolbox. I'm not saying you need to be able to knock down a wall or build a house or anything like that. But I've been out with a couple of guys who didn't own toolboxes, and they couldn't even change a light bulb."
