Pitch Black (film): Difference between revisions

 

----

* [[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.

* [[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).

* [[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).

** 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.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: This almost happened to {{spoiler|Riddick. In the original script, Riddick was supposed to die instead of Fry}}. Executive Meddling put a stop to that, since {{spoiler|''The Chronicles of Carolyn Fry '' would not have made for a decent sequel.}}

** Keep in mind, it ''was'' redemption for {{spoiler|Carolyn, since she almost sacrificed her crew to save herself at the start of the film}}.

* [[Ribcage Ridge]]

* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|Riddick Is About To Shoot You]]: Some [http://www.impawards.com/2000/pitch_black_ver4.html posters] and DVD covers. [[Covers Always Lie|Rather odd]], considering he doesn't wield a handgun at any point in the film, and the only firearm he ever carried was the one he took from Johns when he released him and gave back barely a minute later.
