I believe that in an interview or article Joss said that Simon liet to everyone in the first episode about how he got River out because he wasn't sure if he could trust them all. Joss said that what happened in the movie was the way it really happened.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's right.

Vera was a Saiga 12 shotgun (based on the Kalashnikov) that was first modified and used in the movie "Showtime" with Eddie Murphy. http://securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/2100/2173.htm
The large rifle Jayne has in the Reaver fight scene is a AK-47 with a K-var AKU-94 Bullpup conversion kit ( http://www.k-var.com/product.asp?0=211&1=213&3=137 )and a huge water-jacket looking thing attached to the front.
Yer right on the Reaver fight gun...I saw the BDM now for the 6th time and really payed attention to the gun and I smacked my own forehead for not realizing it sooner.

I don't think anybody mentioned one of the first few scenes. Mal draws out his gun to the camera which the camera work oddly looks like one of Firefly's eps. (This is just before/after River joins the crew in the cargobay questioning Mal's part)
Explaination from the series. Mal draws out his gun, Inara comes in and scares him. He makes a squeal and tries to play it off as something you say when you draw out your gun. Camera is then a closeup s hot of Mal drawing out his gun saying "hoo ha"
Everytime I see this part in the film, I keep thinking, "hoo haa" drives me bonkers it does.

About Wash on Miranda - was he supposed to say something else, or did he just mess up his line? Because the camera stops on him, and then it switches to another shot, and he says his "let's find the beacon" line. If you watch it again, you'll see what I mean. It seems like something was changed there.
Remarkably minor, I know; I was just curious if something was removed from the script.
I noticed the connection between Jayne's line (about all the people being dead for no reason) and Wash my fifth viewing - the camera is acually on Wash when Jayne says it!

OK, what else?
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
That ever so important engine part also showed up in the junk yard on Ariel where Wash was playing with it then threw it away. It hit the helicopter thingy... Check it out it's kind of funny since Kaylee didn't seem to notice and was scrounging around for spare parts. I can't remember if Ariel was before Out of Gas or not.. if so then oooo foreshadowing or some such dramatical thingy.

Did anyone realize what Zoe said to Wash at the end of "Heart of Gold?" How she was looking forward to having his babies? It just makes your heart hurt.
I figured that was why the way Simone really got River out was as in the movie due to him not trusting the crew yet.
As for the tossing of the part.. it just reminds me what Mal said in Out of Gas... It's not important until you don't have one.
That's all I can think of right now.
Love is the gift at the end of a long journey of self exploration and inner peace.

Technically, Simon didn't get River "out". He got her into an airshaft. It was the people he funded (the underground movement) who came in a ship, lowered the platform, and got them out.

you're right! i guess that's another goof to add to the list. he was a sergeant in the war, not a captain.
the profile the operative was looking at definitely said he was a captain in the independent army. tsk tsk!

Everytime I watch our BDM I can't help but wonder where that necklace of Jayne's came from. He doesn't wear it in the movie and for some reason it strikes me as a not entirely Jayne thing.

I noticed Mal flipping the three switches ( I loved that!) and also Zoe's gun is the same.
I never noticed Vera, I'll try to watch for it, if I get to see it this Thursday. I hope, I hope!
