Serenity/Trivia
- Dawson Casting: Summer Glau, 24 years old at the time, plays 17-year-old River.
- Enforced Method Acting: Quite a few of Nathan Fillion's stunts involved a self-inflicted version. In his final fight scene against the Operative, he ended up slamming his face into the floor a few times; Joss was simultaneously impressed and horrified, and it took the makeup crew a moment to work out that he'd not only swollen his face, but also that he was somewhat dazed and struggling to read stuff in the background.
- Fan Nickname: The movie has one: The Big Damn Movie.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Dennis Reynolds gets eaten by Reavers!
- Trope Namer: For No Place for Me There.
