    • Trivia
      According to Nathan Fillion, he personally supplied the blueprints used to build the ship set in the film after being informed at a production meeting that the originals had been lost. He was able to do so because, being so excited about being in the original show, he had taken photos of ALL the preproduction materials he had seen, including the blueprints.
    • Goofs
      Security camera footage shows Mal and Jayne sitting at a table with Fanty and Mingo before they enter the bar.

    What could have been

    Everytime I watch this movie I shed a tear for Joss Whedon's original vision. If only fox hadn't shut him down, we could have fleahed out these stories over many seasons.
