Amazing behind the scenes videos from Jeff Pruitt, Buffy stunt coordinator.
Pruitt has just uploaded these great behind the scenes clips from his personal home video collection. This is gold.

Others may have a better memory of the specifics.

It's sad because it sounds like he genuinely loved working with Joss and felt happy, but somewhere a screw was loose. Plus, he wants pity points for missing his mom's funeral to work. Kind of really strange. The videos are amazing though. Never knew they change the stunt coordinator after season 4, I retroactively do notice the difference!

I also remember reading that parable and thinking it sounded a bit unlikely. In it, and in an interview, he claimed he told someone a stunt was set up wrong and was dangerous and asked for it to be changed but later when it was shot it hadn't been changed and Sophia was nearly hurt. He's the stunt guy, isn't it his job to check something like that had been changed? Do stunt coordinators ask someone else to change a potentially life threatening setup and then just forget about it and assume it would be done correctly?
He also claimed SMG ruled the set with an iron fist and would get people fired at the drop of a hat yet before he left he told a story of a new director who started explaining to SMG how they were going to shoot a dusting effect, something she'd done hundreds of times, and she just good naturedly went along with it, the two stories being somewhat contradictory.
I guess only the few people that were there at the time know the true story but things he said just didn't sound right to me.

Buffy's fights after season four more acrobatic, but Crawford was so good at fighting with ferocity and specificity. Looking over her resume, the fact that she was trained in Hong Kong makes sense. She seemed to throw her whole body into every action and in my mind, that will always be how Buffy Summers fights. The Faith/Buffy fight in "Graduation Day, part 2" is still the most epic brawl of them all.
