I'd like to see River rub soup in someone's hair. It's always a hoot and we don't all die from it.

Or by some weird turn of events, Jayne and Wash end up somewhere with candlelight.

Things I'd like to see:

Some one juggling geese (Wash: "see, I told you!")

Blue Sun bringing out a "Blue Pill" (cause of the Gina/Matrix connection.. only me? ok- watches everyone else step slowly away)

The Dinosaurs! and a sudden, yet inevitable betrayal!

The red button/same three switches, everytime!

wash and Jayne with candlelight

Soup in hair (from the tins with no label?!) It's always a hoot

The crew shooting foxes

and, of course, as many references to the hero of Canton as can be fitted in, and appearences from the true star- Vera!

As for the jokes only appealing to the core fans- well, I've only been into Firefly for about 2 weeks and I've already personally persuaded 4 other people to buy their own copies of the DVD(and, hopefully, the pizza guy I kidnapped last night!) add to that several others who've agreed to see the film, and spread the word- we have an ever increasing fan base here people!

Just thought of one!

River looking at Book and muttering about "snow on the roof".

How about Mal practicing his fencing with Inara...Muttering something along the lines of

"Chinese expletive entered here" Ain't gonna get me twice.

Or maybe Atherton and Stitch in St. Lucy's muttering about That flying piece of Go Se and its Gorram crew.

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

oh, oh, oh, just saw Our Mrs Reynolds and I thought of another one- Mal and Book at the theatre when people in front start talking. Book leans forward, taps them on the shoulder. "Special Hell"!

Jayne: "Pain is scary" (serenity)

They go back to Kaylee's home and Bester's still there, waiting to get off planet.

Everyone has listed so many good ideas! I'd love to see any reference to the Hero of Canton, the geisha wobble-heads, the label-less cans, etc. These things would all be easy to work in because Joss is *so* good at layering details, as we saw in just about every episode. I think that he's going to be able to put plenty of inside jokes in without having any impact on the "newness" of the movie.

I am pretty sure we'll see Vera in the movie. You have to assume he'd still have his favorite gun, and after all, she's kind of the 11th crew member. (Serenity being the 10th of course )

Out of many excellent snickers, this is the one that gave me the guffaws! Lovely!

My addition: We should have Simon writing in his diary, "Dear Diary, today I was ..."

LOL! The Simon idea is too funny, Annik!

My suggestion for the inside joke:

Some badly pronounced yet colorfully funny Chinese swearing involving a red-furred animal with a white-tipped tail.

Most of us don't speak Chinese so this inside joke would be lost when Serenity is seen for the first couple of times but soon the translations would start circling the net and by the time of BDM's DVD release this would be everyone's new favorite curse which you would have learned by heart and used often.

Although I would like to see the Red Button too.
