In the scene where Mal gets the wave from Inara, he stands there and talks to her with no shirt on. That big-ass scar near his right shoulder (which I initially took to be a war wound) is actually the scar from "Train Job" where Krull chunked that big old knife at him.

I thought it was interesting that Mal showed obvious scars, when we saw at least one case where a person's entire insides were swapped out without leaving a visible scar (Simon needed his instruments to detect it). Maybe just variation in the level of medical care available? Or maybe just to make Mal look cool with his shirt off?
I noticed the catalyzer too. I assumed it had come off the Reaver's shuttle along with the other junk, and Kaylee was scavenging. I could almost hear her thinking, "Gee, it's nice to have a spare, finally."
Not only did I *notice* Mal flipping the three magic switches; I *anticipated* it! "Is he gonna flip the... yes he is!!" I consider it a nice tribute to Wash, or maybe to Alan himself (who originated the three-switches bit).

During Mal's big speech, Jayne and Simon both take a drink from a bottle with the Blue Sun logo on it. That was the only one I caught my second time around.
Jayne does tote Vera in the movie, but not against the Reavers.
Oh and this may just be me, but Mr. Universe and the fembot, total props to Buffy for that one.
Those are the only ones I can think of right now, if I think of more, I'll be sure to post. And next time see what other Blue Sun stuff you see, I hope we haven't heard the last of them.

Browncoats: "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

The only other time I noticed a Blue Sun logo was on Mr Universe's wall 'o screens. It played the Blue Sun commercial (girl smiling, holding can), that we saw a few times in the series.

Well, with Tracey in The Message, they were *smuggling*. It was a big operation worth lots of money, thus the careful stitching to conceal it. With Mal, well, he got stabbed. It wasn't a clean cut, they probably didn't have all the supplies, etc. They had no real motivation to make it invisible.
"Well...here I am...."

Not to mention, didn't Simon say something like, "You really should have let me do this sooner?" while he was stitching that one up?
But while we're on the subject of scars in that scene... I noticed one on his arm (where he was grazed in the pilot ep), and another that's probably supposed to be the gut shot from Out of Gas.

things I noticed?
*River wears goggles.
-In mrs. macolm reynolds he wears the same goggles to open the cockpit hatch.
*Where jayne wears the tiny boy scout shirt (which makes him look VERY hot) underneath is that one pinup with the censored eyes over her.
-i can't recall the episode where he wears this in.
*malcolm scars and the reference to being stabbed in the place where the operative tries to paralyze him at.
-Serenity ep (top right shoulder), War Stories (sternum), Shindig (lower right side of back).
*river's boots.
-uhh she wears them in practically all the episodes except for train job. lol.
*Simon's jacket he wears when they land in town.
-the message.
*Jayne's devil shot glass.
-i dunno why but it has some significance...it bothers me greatly b/c i bet it is.
*things actually fall down while the ship shakes violently!
-we never got to see that in the show! I'm so happy ^_^. I always questioned this and now i know. Some things are bolted down and some aren't.
*river's blue jacket.
-is it me or is that inara's? I seen it before, but can't remember where from.
*sticking needles into river's brain
-they stuck it in the side, but it's needles...she mentions this once in the episode, but it's seen in train job just before she wakes up.
*Mal falls into the screen when getting the crap beated out of him.
-out of gas.
*Wash still has that damn hawaiian shirt...lol
*mal tosses the operative the red button beacon panel.
-out of gas
*Every place they've landed at were up in flames...
*the ship that chases them from the begging i s the same at the end.
-when they pulled the crazy ivon, i could have sworn it's the same one.
*I think it's been down more than once, but seeing the kitchen area before it's shown. I know they did it for the cockpit, but i specifically remember seeing mal's pants in the shot.
-Serenity.
*Mal's stained eye at the end.
-War stories.
God...ok. I'm done. this is tiring...i'm sure there's a whole heap more..but in short, I notice a LOT...except for the blue sun logo. i never see those damn things until someone mentions it.

Actually, it's not the same hat. It has more strips and it's not the same colours. Adam was wearing the hat in a picture when those big cakes were delivered to the set.

There were two more Blue Sun logos on boxes in the cargo bay. One can be seen behind Simon when he walks up to the catwalk and I can't remember where the second one is. It's on a box somewhere in the cargo bay. Also in the cargo bay are some dumbbells but not the weightlifting set as far as I could tell.
Also, as River's teacher is finishing up her lesson about the new solar system, to the left of the screen behind her is a list of planets, possibly Core planets since Osiris and Londinum are mentioned. But also on the list is Shadow, Mal's home planet. Is Mal from a Core planet? And apparently Mal's was born in 2468, according to the file the Operative is looking at. That makes him, what, 50?

In the TV series Simon pays people to get River out. In the movie, Simon gets River out. Or maybe it was stated in the TV series that Simon got help into getting River out, which means he probably got her out in the first place as was shown at the beginning of the movie. I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong.
