Line 64:
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: Aereon shows off two advantages to the Made of Air version. When she's on a plane another character threatens her while she's standing by an open trap door, (which would make her fall out of the plane) and goes to take a swipe at Aereon with a sword, asking if Aereon (as an Air Elemental) can fly. Aereon goes insubstantial to avoid the sword, then drift across trap door before becoming solid on the other side, where she replies: "No, we can't fly, but we do glide very well." Made all the more awesome by the fact that Aereon is being played by ''[[What the Hell, Casting Agency?|Judi Dench]]'', complete with a little smirk as she says her reply.
* [[Once Killed a Man with A Noodle Implement]]: Riddick threatens to kill a man...with his teacup. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Which he does.]] He lets the victim's friends live, but takes his toothpick and carefully sets it on the rock...
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Played with when {{spoiler|the Lord Marshal uses every means at his disposal to try and kill Riddick, before deciding to fight him personally. It's a [[Double Subversion]]. In the backstory, he heard a prophecy that a Furyan could kill him, so he slaughtered pretty much the entire planet.}}
* [[The Other Darrin]]: In ''Pitch Black'', Jack was played by Rhiana Griffith. In ''Chronicles'', Alexa Davalos took over the role, with a new name and a completely new look. Her only explanation for how changed she was: "I'm a whole new animal." [[Internet Backlash|Many fans were not happy.]]
** [[Fan Wank|Ooh, ooh!]] Plastic surgery to try and evade the authorities!
** Salt in the wound is the fact that Rhiana Griffith was willing to reprise the role - and Vin Diesel apparently wanted her, but was told by executives she needed to "toughen up" for the role.
* [[Outrun the Fireball]]: The burning sunlight on Crematoria. Initially played with when the bounty hunters try and make planetside before they get hit by the sunrise, played straight later.
* [[The Plan]]: Discussed. "Because that was my plan."

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Arguably, Riddick and Kyra.
