I was just curious, the IMDB lists Luke Perry as playing Oliver Pike in the BTVS
film. I don't recall them mentioning a full name for the character, they just
called him Pike.

Is there a non-canon source for calling him Oliver Pike? Like maybe a script or
novelization? Or did someone just make up stuff on the IMDB (which happens a
lot).

The very fact that you were researching the film frightens me. Joss
disowned it. Why not ignore it?

I liked this film long before the TV show came along and blew it away. Just
because the TV show is better doesn't mean I can't enjoy the movie too.

I believe (though I could be wrong) it's said in the comic adaptation, which
was taken directly from Joss' original script.

There's a big difference between enjoying it and doing research and
asking about non-canon sources.
