- Look at what is written on the tape scotched on the fridge in the mobile lab
- While they are moving the lab to safer place, look at what phenomenon is happening in the background at the left of the sampson.
- Try to remember Jake's security level.
- Can you count the numbers of edit error (look at Jake's arms) in the scene when, in the control room, Jake is explained what he'll have to do during the next three month.

Just my two cents ;)

* read the sticker at the crematorium when they close the box with Jake's brother.
* see the bow at the background during first Jake+Quaritch+Selfridge briefing right after "what if they won't go?"
Where is my NDD fix?

Something I've noticed after seeing the movie numerous times, that isn't exactly a specific item or thing to notice, but rather a nuance of the movement in the film that I found I noticed subconsciously at first, and upon later viewings it really kind of jumped out at me, was the way the female Na'vi move through their forest home.  It's almost as if they are ballerinas dancing across the landscape.  Not sure if this had to do with Zoe's training in ballet that may have influenced their movement, or if it was just James Cameron's call, but they are pure beauty in motion.  When Neytiri is running along the branches early in the movie and Jake is trying to keep up with her, and when she does the swinging jump across to another branch later in the movie before jumping off and dropping to the forest floor using the giant leaves to slow herself down, her grace when running is phenomenal.  One occurrence that especially jumps out at me is when Norm and the horse tribe are falling back from the marines and he is splashing across a small pond, in the foreground you will notice a female Na'vi fire an arrow then turn and run out of frame to the right.  It's like Swan Lake in blue skin.  Nothing like your typical male power run.  No ultra-muscle sprinting here, just someone who is comfortable with her body and her movements and balance.  Just lovely in it's gracefulness.  The other bit of gracefulness I love is when Neytiri jumps on Seze to chase after Jake when he takes his first Ikran flight, fluid gracefulness defined.  Just figured I'd mention a small bit of additional beauty I noticed in a movie that is crammed full of beautiful things.   :)

Thanks for pointing that out.
The scenes with Neytiri teaching Jake are my favorites.
I'll have to look for the other Na'vi females, but what I did see was the leader of the ikran tribe when they start of the floating rocks surface. She seems to move even more in unison with her ikran than the other riders...

Neytiri's movements and body control are breathtaken at times. I really liked the one time at the begining when she saved Jake, how she jumped with the bow and her fighting skills, awesome.

Some things I've noticed/had pointed out to me:

In the spaceship and the AMP suit staging area, watch some of the background stuff, it's kind of interesting.
After Trudy's Samson get shot up by Quaritch when you see it next hoisting the pod you can see she put duct tape on the bullet holes.
Watch for when Home Tree gets destroyed for the branch that hits Ey'tukan (sic?)
When Jake gets taken into Home Tree for the first time listen to the Na'vi speaking in the background. (only thing I've picked out so far is "srane")
Watch how Jake's outfit changes as he become more and more "Na'vi" through the movie.
Watch how much Trudy seems to like chewing gum, she's addicted to gum or something.

I think I picked out an "ayoeng" in there somewhere as well.  (Well, one of the omatikaya crowd scenes anyway, but pretty sure it was that one.)

I've thought I picked out some of the Na'vis words for alien, I heard one what sounded like faketuan, their word for a non-Navi and definately kewong and ketuwong.

After Trudy's Samson get shot up by Quaritch when you see it next hoisting the pod you can see she put duct tape on the bullet holes.- yep saw that.
Watch for when Home Tree gets destroyed for the branch that hits Ey'tukan (sic?) - I told that to my friend too when we saw it in the second time,yes, pretty sick.
When Jake gets taken into Home Tree for the first time listen to the Na'vi speaking in the background. (only thing I've picked out so far is "srane") - I heard Na'vi tongue , but not experienced enough to pick it up what is exactly being said over there
Watch how Jake's outfit changes as he become more and more "Na'vi" through the movie. - Yes, I liked the adjustments, shows his progress.
Watch how much Trudy seems to like chewing gum, she's addicted to gum or something. - Indeed, seems like michelle rodriguez chews gum in other movies too! :D

The Swan (I think that's what it's called) vehicle from the game is visible very briefly during the first Hell's Gate scene.

I thought I made out a damaged helicopter in the disembarkment to Hell's Gate scene once but I can't seem to find it now.

The Swan doesn't sound familiar. Maybe I've never noticed it.

I've just returned from the movie and have to write something now. It's not a big thing, but did you notice when Quaritch fights against Jake at the end and Neytiri tries to help him (but she's under the Thananor). She then can escape and attacks Quaritch. She has a white hand print on her chest!

I wonder what it is. Did Jake do that? Or an enemy?

Interesting point, guess she was marked by Jake before the battle, all the Na'vi in the battle were covered with body paint.

Edit : woho!! I'm Omatikaya now!:D

Yep. That thing. It's only seen in one shot for only a few seconds during the scene where Jake first wheels himself off the Valkyrie ramp. I've always wondered why the RDA forces never used it during the final battle.

That hand print has five fingers, so the implication is Jake.  Mates applying war paint to each other is probably a common thing (when its needed).  Neytiri was his tutor and applied the ceremonial paint for Jake's ceremony.
