Serenity (2005)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Joss Whedon
Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite
Continuity mistake: When the crew are in the cockpit talking about Miranda, Jayne is in the background holding his head with his left hand. 5-6 shots later he is holding it with his right hand. On the cast commentary of the DVD, Adam Baldwin says that he did this on purpose "just to mess with continuity". (01:03:35)
Trivia: The ID number (C57D) of the ship on Miranda is the same as the ID number of the ship in "Forbidden Planet".
