Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Complete Monster]]:
** The Reavers might qualify, being [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]].
*** Although they aren't the usual sort, since they {{spoiler|can't help being what they are}}. It's no doubt they belong here - fitting all five major criteria - but all the same, the events of the movie see the idea of people killing them to be more of a [[Shoot the Dog]] rather than [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]]. See also [[Fridge Brilliance]].
** Although he characterizes himself this way, the Operative isn't truly a complete monster: he only used what he thought was the minimum necessary force to obtain his objectives, and he was [[Apologetic Attacker|genuinely remorseful]] about all the collateral damage. Didn't stop him from swatting the next fly with a sledgehammer, though.
* [[Cult Classic]]: The movie didn't perform very well financially, but it is almost universally loved among the show's original fans.
* [[Ear Worm]]: Fruity Oaty Bars.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: River, who went to being one of the two leads in [[The Movie]], and is one of the more memorable, iconic, and popular characters of the show.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: See the [[Serenity (Film)/Fridge|page]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Jayne snaps at River, uttering "I'll show her good and all, I got man parts" in "Trash". {{spoiler|Fast forward to the [[Curb Stomp Battle]] of Maidenhead, [[Groin Attack|and]]...}}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: In the film, The Operative's destruction/massacre of anywhere/anyone ''Serenity'' might go to for help (The Operative was more of a [[Magnificent Bastard]] until that point.)
* [[Nerdgasm]]: A very literal one near the end.
* [[Saved Byby the Fans]]: The internet petition drive started by fans ultimately led to Universal picking up the movie.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: This is where the lovedoll designers of the future are situated.
* [[The Woobie]]: Both River and Simon.
Line 18:
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Reaver ships constantly broadcast the sound of dozens (possibly hundreds) of people screaming.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: included in the blooper reel is an extra take of the shot in which Mal orders his crew to {{spoiler|mask their ship as a Reaver's}}. The original is very nearly a [[Kick the Dog]] scene, but the moment Mal's improvised orders change from the script is the moment that he takes the line and guts it with a screwdriver.
{{quote| "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}3aqFSzNNdrw&feature{{=}}related Put] {{spoiler|Book}} front and center; he's our friend, we should honor him. Kaylee, find that kid who's taking a dirt-nap with baby Jesus -- we need a hood ornament. Jayne! ''Try not to steal too much of their shit!''"}}
** More canonically: after {{spoiler|Mr Universe's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice]], we see him lying dead... in the arms of his own love doll. {{spoiler|[[Dead Man Writing|With his final message recorded in it]].}}
