the deleted scenes, plus edit it more to fit firefly the series. I have'nt seen it yet, but someone posted something online about the continuity between the show and film being all screwed up.

The continuity error is in how River is rescued by Simon - in the show, he said that he bought up contacts to infiltrate the "school" to get River out. They got her out and mailed her to Simon in the cryo-box-thing, and from there he could take them wherever he wanted. Mal opened the box and woke her up, and it's quite obvious in that scene that it's the first time River's seen her brother in a long time.

In the movie, he gets the contacts to help get her out, and he goes into the facility himself, posing as a member of the Alliance, and gets her out while she's awake, getting picked up by his contacts in a ship out some vent shaft thing. River also helps in the escape.

That's the error.
