Havia pelo menos 11 instâncias do pidgin chinês que entraram no corte teatral da Serenity. Eu os listei abaixo para facilitar a pesquisa, junto com o que cada declaração realmente significa.
Dado que o número médio de frases em chinês cada episódio de 44 minutos é aproximadamente 16 , parece que havia menos frases em chinês por minuto (quase três quartos) no filme do que nos programas de TV.
Dito isto, quando você leva em conta as cenas cortadas e toda a sinalização chinesa adicional (e subtrai os dois episódios extremamente chineses, que arrastam a média de 12,1 para 16,5), não é tão óbvio.
1) TEACHER:
BAI-tuo, AN-jing-eedyen! "We will enjoy your silence now!" [Please be quiet!]2) MAL:
"DONG-luh-MAH?" Ni cho lyen, yo may yo? "Are we clear here?" [Do you have a worried face?]3) WASH:

There were also a number of lines that were part of the deleted scenes found on the DVD.
