=== ''Pitch Black'' contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Carolyn Fry
* [[Alien Sky]]: Three suns and an eclipsing planet featuring TWO separate ring systems. Skies don't get much more alien than that.
* [[And This Is For]]: Riddick cuts off all the lights on the ship prior to taking off, because he wants to kill as many of the creatures as possible when they gather around the ship. It's implied it's in honor of Fry.
{{quote| '''Riddick:''' We can't leave... ''([[Beat]])'' without saying good night. '''(FWOOSH)'''}}
* [[The Atoner]]: Fry. At the beginning of the movie she tries to sacrifice her crew to save herself (earning herself a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] because the captain is supposed to be the last to be saved in a crisis). At the climax, she tells Riddick that she would die for them, and, as it turns out, Riddick, whom she runs back to help. Then almost immediately, she {{spoiler|dies saving Riddick, who is distraught, crying out "Not for ''me''. Not for '''''ME'''''!"}}
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Johns and Riddick (briefly).
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Chiaroscuro]]: The entire second half of the film.
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: Averted; Riddick can kill one creature just fine, but two of them damn near kill him (though he managed to slaughter both despite his injuries).
* [[Conveniently -Close Planet]]: It's a good thing the interstellar freighter which was ''TWENTY-TWO MONTHS'' out from its port was passing so close to an inhabitable moon when the artificial pilot malfunctioned, isn't it?
** A) Particularly at the time of the eclipse that happens every, what? 23 years? which leads to B) Depends on what you're calling 'inhabitable'.
*** Auto Pilot didn't fail so much as detected chunks of rock piercing the hull. Rocks tend to gather together in space, around things like planets. After 22 months, you'd think even a small miscalculation could make a big mistake, aside from space being really empty aside from some particularly dangerous parts you'd want to avoid.
