I thought it'd be nice to start a lighter thread relating to the BDM, considering that so many are taking the movie so seriously (and believe me, I'm one of them). So,
Let's hear the things people noticed in the film that harken back to the show.
Someone on a different thread mentioned that the spacesuits Mal, Zoe, and Jayne used were the same ones from the show. I didn't notice that, but I like the thought of it.
Also, in the scene with Jayne and Kaylee cleaning up the cargo hold, Kaylee is figeting with a catalyser, the infamous part from Out of Gas. And she had that knowing smile on her face!
OK, what else?
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Not sure.... Although is it just me or does Simon look different in the movie? To me it looks like his hair is different. Perhaps darker. Also he looks more musculare in the movie. Also Book's hair just seemed different as well. Maybe it's just me....
Was "Vera" the same? I can't remember.

Was that Vera in the final shootout? I was having a hard time paying attention to details at that point.

Honestly it's a little hard to remember every thing correctly. I've only seen it once. Hope to see it tomorrow or Thursday for a 2nd time. Although I think I saw Jayne with a shiny silver plated gun looking like Vera. Not sure.

I got a good look at the gun. I don't have the DVDs so many you guys can help me out. I don't remember Vera being a full automatic weapon. When it fired from the space suit, wasn't it like a single-shot or a semi-auto? But the gun Jayne had was large with a long and thick barrel, having a green LED near or on the tip. I don't think its the same weapon.

It maybe wasn't the same gun for that scene. Although at some time I think I saw it.

I believe the spacesuits were the same. I thought they looked familiar but it didn't actually occur to me until you mentioned it. As for Kaylee and the catalyser, I have seen it three times now and I missed that. I will definitely be looking for it when I see it again this weekend! Thanks for the heads up!

SPOLIERS = Yikes
Mal falls onto a grating in the episode Out Of Gas - close up of his face and blood dripping onto the grate
Mal falls onto a grating in the movie. - close up of Mals bloody face at the Mr. Universe back-up signal feed platform.
War Stories: during the torture scene - fake blood inadvertently stains Alan's contact lens. source: Commentary on the DVD.
Movie: Close up on Mal after a fight with the Operative - one eye has blood around the iris area.
Books hair: Firefly- It's tied up in a bun. Movie- It's in Cornrows.
There are a whole lotta winks and nods given to the TV series via the movie.
Speculation alert:
The gun Jayne uses during the Mr Universe reaver scene looks sort of like a small gatling gun with some sci fi modifications. Vera looks more like a AR-15 assault rifle with sci fi modifications.
Zoe uses a pistol gripped lever action short barrel shotgun and I think it's the same gun used in many of the Firefly episodes. ?

At the end, when Mal is sitting in the pilot seat, he flicks those 3 switches.
And apparently, when the crew are walking of the ship at Beaumonde, Jayne can be seen wearing his hat from The Message.
