Corrected entry: In the opening sequence, the movie shows Simon Tam personally rescuing River; however, in the pilot episode of the series he states that he funded a group to sneak her out to him.

Corrected entry: When the Operative is reviewing the computer file on Mal, one of the notes reads "Awarded Valor Commendation: Battle of Serenity Valley." Since the Battle of Serenity Valley was the decisive battle of the war, which the Browncoats lost, who awarded him the commendation? The Browncoats had surrendered, so they were certainly in no position to hand out medals, and the Alliance would surely not have given Mal an award for fighting them so tenaciously.
Correction: The battle of Serenity Valley lasted over two months - there would certainly have been lulls in the fighting during that time as the combatants resupplied, regrouped and so forth. Mal went from commanding a single squad in the battle to being in charge of over two thousand soldiers, keeping their morale up and keeping them in the fight. Given his heroic actions, the Independent commanders obviously decided to award him the commendation for valour during one of those lulls.

Correction: So he lied about the details. These are people who he's only just met, has no way to know whether he can trust, he's hardly going to want to admit to having personally broken into a secure facility, so he lies. It's quite understandable that he would be somewhat evasive.
