Pitch Black (film): Difference between revisions

Considered the breakthrough performance of [[Vin Diesel]], the movie was a sleeper hit despite its modest budget and was deemed successful enough to have a big budget sequel, which became ''[[The Chronicles of Riddick (Filmfilm)|The Chronicles of Riddick]]''.

* [[Weakened Byby the Light]]: The creatures are actually ‘’burned’’ by any exposure to light. Additionally, Riddick's eyeshine treatment leaves him easily blinded by bright lights.

* [[What You Are in Thethe Dark]]: Both literally and figuratively (it is essentially the premise, after all). After ditching the last of the survivors and reaching the shuttle alone, Riddick offers Carolyn Fry (who had tried to jettison the passenger pods during the crash to save herself and the rest of the crew) the chance to go with him when she catches up. It's fairly clear he's attracted to her and is actually being really nice about it (by his standards), warning her firmly that if she doesn't come with him, he'll leave her behind. He tells her to just leave the remaining survivors in the cave, telling her "no one would blame you", even helping her up the ramp with child-like encouragements. She almost goes along with it, but remembering the guilt over her previous actions and the faces of those who already died, she tries to overpower Riddick, swearing to him that she's willing to die for the people left in the cave. Riddick is amused and intrigued by her devotion and lack of fear but ultimately horrified and enraged when she ends up going back AGAIN to save HIM and gets herself killed in the process.
