10 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes Everyone Remembers For ONE Awesome Scene

6. Innocence - The Rocket Launcher

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Mutant Enemy

What do you do when your evil self is suddenly woken from a century of slumber by a quick shag with your one-and-only? Get the old gang back together and help summon an ungodly demonic presence who can burn the humanity out of his victims, of course!

So then, what do you do if you're a young slayer facing your newly evil-ed toyboy and an ungodly enemy of whom 'no weapon forged can harm'? You grab yourself some good ol' US Military hardware and go to town, is what.

In the second half of season two's devastating mid-season two-parter (comprised of Surprise and Innocence), Buffy puts an end - or at least severe dismemberment - to The Judge courtesy of a whopping great rocket launcher.

While rockets, guns and grenades are not the slayer's go-to toolkit, it always pays to think outside the box and keep the options open when dealing with some unspeakable evils - and there is nothing quite as pleasing as seeing the look on Angel's face as he dives for cover, realising that the gloves are off and Buffy isn't messing around - and won't be messed around - anymore.
