- Invasive species are something that should be taken very seriously. Even invasive species from the same planet, given different circumstances can lead to the eradication. In the events of Pitch Black, this is exactly what I believed. Given this creatures evolutionary biology, it appears that they always resided there. But what exactly are these things? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

I love Riddick
How do you not have merch with your most famous quote "Starting with the feet"?! LMAO
PAPA 'NOKE, can we please get another games series breakdown? Just rewatched the Doom and Dead Island breakdowns, and man you get deep in that sweet sweet biological mumbo jumbo. Destiny has some interesting species, and Warhammer is just there waiting. Also eyo, girlfriend! Get it Papa 'Noke
7:44 he dislocated his shoulder to pull it off, the cracking wasn’t purely effects
Riddick says "Not for me." Because the captain lady said that she'd die for her crew. He's basically saying that she shouldn't have died for his sake because he was a hardened criminal that didn't deserve to be saved at the expense of a good person.
Beat me to it, I'm gonna leave my comment though for the algorithm and he's more likely to see if there is more then one.
@@MonkeyKingsformerroomate big facts
@@MonkeyKingsformerroomate For the algorithm!!!
Riddick is honestly a true anti hero, he knows he isn't good but doesn't want to see good people suffer, hiding behind his mask as a killer only to be someone who does care is honestly great
yup
Riddick yells "Not for me!" because Rhada Mitchell's character Carolyn told him she'd die for them but not Riddick. So when she dies saving him, it affects him emotionally. It's as emotional as the character gets.
I'm 32, I seen this when I was about 10 for the first Time,and many many times after and it never occurred to me why he said this until seeing this...🤦
@CrayonEater0311 I'm with you on that one. I was 38 and re watched it, that's when I figured it out. I hadn't seen it in a very long time, but it's kinda obvious when i did.
She says this as she was picking him up, lol
I heard that when I first saw this movie, she kept telling him that she said she would die for them not for him and then she gets yoinked so he calls out after her with the words she was JUST saying to him over and over to get him to move. I felt the emotions in that scene and I still feel them today when I think about when I first watched this.
Riddick is, as we all can agree, a very cynical and pragmatic individual. That why it hurt him, when she was at her worst... she saved his life. When she had every reason not to. She still did it. He BELIVES she was stupid for doing so, he wouldn't have, but he knows she did it because she was, at her worst, a good person. And he hated that about her dying. Good people shouldn't die. She was the wrong person to die. And he... was thankful. And the only way to repay the favor was by justifying her action in saving his life by getting off that damn planet.
And that means Riddick HAD to care. And that made him angry.
Jezz... how are people not getting this? I am 35 and saw it at release and many times after and it was like crystal clear. Now I'm reading this and the comments... I'm just baffled. It's not like that movie was philosophical/emotional challenging.
Fun bit, Claudia Black (Jackie / the miner) was filming on Farscape at the same time. Both productions shared her.
When Farscape would stop shooting, Claudia (in Farscape costume) was driven to the airport, loaded on a plane, and flown to where Pitch Black was being filmed.
She would learn her lines and sleep on the flight. On set, she would shoot her scenes, be loaded back on the plane heading for the Farscape team (wearing her Pitch Black costume), learn her lines for Farscape on the way and sleep.
Each set would clean the other's costume so it could be worn by her and she said half the time she had no idea where she was.
Damn that sucks
I knew I recognized her from somewhere
Is that really a “fun” bit? 😅
That's dedication.
Great. Now I feel worse about them wasting her on the Acolyte...
I know her from SG-1. Dunno why I never watched Farscape. Hopefully it comes my way.
There is a very similar thing with the black bass when it is introduced in rivers with no predators. The black bass eats at all levels: the adults eat large prey, the juveniles eat medium prey, down to te the newborn fishes eating insect-sized prey. TL:DR; they eat EVERY species of the area. There are lakes in Spain, where it was criminally introduced by individuals who wantd to fish it, where every insect, fish, frog, whatever that enters the lake from upstream is instantly eaten and the _only_ animal life left is black bass of different sizes, eating each other. _Exactly_ like in Pitch Black.
How do they survive eating each other
@@MuhammadAlkomy As I said, they also eat everything else that enters the lakes from upstream or from the shores.

Proceeds to narrate the whole movie minute by minute
Welcome to the channel.
Are you new here?
Well the movie isn't 35 min long so I dunno about “Minute by Minute”
Are you offended? I'm not.
This is what I come here for.
"Vehicle Identification Number. Diesel."
This is so stupid I cracked a rib laughing!
I feel stupid for laughing at this as hard as I did. I blame long durations of cryosleep and having a GigaChad Lizard Brain.
"What is your car's identification number?"
"Diesel :3"
Hahaha😂 I spit out my drink.
Fun fact, Yellowstone is NOT some badass human warrior. They actually made a whole video diary for his hunt for Riddick and in one of them he admits to figuring out that Riddick, despite his persona, has a soft spot for kids. So Johs, Yellowstone, using a kid as bait and forces Riddick into a situation where he has to either stand by and watch a kid die or save the kid and get himself fucked up enough that Johns can take him down. So a great fighter? No. Smart and ruthless as a rattlesnake? Yes.
hey, no insulting innocent animals there
@@gabrielbernard5440 Your right. My bad.😜
@@gabrielbernard5440 anglerfish then?
So I guess Riddick animosity to him is not just because he catch him eh?
@@r3dr4te963 No. Its why Riddick told Jack not to cry for him and why....spoiler alert
when Riddick meets Johns father Riddick actually complements the man for both his honor and courage, stating that he is nothing like his son.
Riddick thrashing the chains when Fry was being attacked in the caves was to show Riddick's superior sense of hearing. He could hear Fry crying out for help when no one else could.
@@shaolin95 There have been a few instances like this where it seems he's maybe not giving the movie his complete attention as he watching. I don't mean that as a knock against him. He's probably multi tasking, as well as only paying attention for clues to the creature(s) rather than trying to follow the plot closely. I don't remember specifically what it was but speaking about the sharks in Deep Blue Sea he said/asked something that made me feel he wasn't paying full attention. To me it's not unforgivable though.
@tdylan he also didn't research Riddicks eyes, those are indeed from Sci fi surgery, you get it done in the Butchers Bay game which is canon.
@@greasybumpkin1661 Yes, but the eyes were retconned in the director's cut of "Chronicles of Riddick," and I think also in the Butcher bay + Assault on Dark Athena game, to be a part of Riddick's heritage that needed to "be awakened." Also, not all of his race have the ability. Only "Alpha Male" Furyans have it. Because Vin Diesel has the imagination of a 12 year old.
@@tdylan imagination of a 12 year old 😂😂
Now thats just not fair, since the F&F lore he's probably up to the imagination of a 15 year old now
It would still be interesting to watch him DM a game of D&D
i could see the glow worms getting a hold and evolving to be the animals that can live side by side or take over from the Bioraptors as they can keep them away.
so evolving with bio illuminating weapons to counter them :D
Until they become power shards in Satisfactory 🤣
Also remember there is a animated movie that takes place between pitch black and chronicles of Riddick. It actually adds a.lot more info on Riddick and what happened to the other two who escaped with him
I've watched all 3 of the movies at least 10 times each and I never knew of this because I was just watching off the DVDs. Ty for this knowledge now I must watch it.
Chronicals of Riddick Dark Fury…definitely a good movie, very good animation
It also introduces Toombs.
Dark Fury, by Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung. I bought the trilogy, with Pitch Black, Dark Fury, and Chronicles of Riddick, before Riddick came out. Love the series.
"Not for me" was in reference to the captain saying, "I'd die for them."
He was sad, she died for him.
Yea, he didn't believe he deserved someone else to die for him.
Not that he wouldn't kill to survive, but the Family Man's morals are mysterious indeed.
The reason we have no Bioraptors on Earth, the Anglerfish
I was thinking the bio raptors were that planet's divergent evolutionary form of angler fish 😅
Stop mentioning that fish. 😂😂😂😂
I swear it has become a meme now.
@@Rexorazor correct the blob fish is far more dangerous
That fish is cursed, they legit merge full time with their mates.
@@Rexorazorjust wait for the curesed Anglerfish with feets to start at
Riddick is a monster, but his demeanor in this and later films show that, deep down, he wants to be a good guy. His life only took him down bad paths, so he never had the chance to grow in a positive way. When he tried to escape on his own (which he probably assumed any of them would do) only to get confronted by the pilot, he believed that she would do the same. Even after it becoming known that she was willing to dump the passengers to save the ship, the pilot refused and demanded that Riddick save every one.
That seems to have struck a chord in him, and he willingly goes back to save the others. So when he gets wounded, and believes he should be left behind, the pilot comes to save him. Only this time, she dies in the process, horrifying him. He was appalled that someone so "good" died trying to save someone so beyond redemption like him. "She can't have died for me! Not for me!"
It's an amazing line that shows what Riddick is deep down, and his growth through the movie.
A perfect example of the antihero.
I liked Riddick in this movie. I hated what Riddick became in the other films after Vin Diesel decided to make Riddick an ultimate bad ass from a race of ultimate bad asses.
*Is* he a monster?
If memory serves, this movie never explained exactly what he did or why aside from some vague claim that he killed someone, which... I can think of several circumstances where that could happen that aren't just murder.
He's been hunted due to his heritage. I'm sure the powers that be have been chasing him for a long time. When you're on the run you're going to do what you have to do. I didn't see anything that made him a Monster
@@DaRkLoRdZoRc I think the problem is that this movie was made with Riddick being one type of character but then Vin Diesel got full of himself and decided to use the character as a vessel to fulfill his lifelong Dungeons & Dragons fantasies. In Pitch Black Riddick was a human whose mother abandoned him as a newborn i.e. found in a dumpster with his umbilical cord still around his neck. That bad start led to him making bad choices/being a bad person. e.g. When Johns is trying to convince Riddick to kill the girl and drag her body behind the sled Johns said something to the effect of:
"in war time medical doctors decided who lived and died. It's called "triage."
Riddick replied "when I did it they kept calling it 'murder." Implying he had killed multiple people. There was ambiguity to the character but a part of what made his redemption arc work is that he probably really was a bad person. Again, he absolutely was going to leave them on the planet to die. Johns also told Fry Riddick knows how to fly a ship by sharing that Riddick cut the throat of the pilot of a ship that was taking him back to prison. Something we don't have to assume was done in self defense. Riddick will kill people and he will leave them to die. That's why it was so good when at the end of the movie he said "Riddick is dead. He died somewhere back on that planet." He no longer wanted to be Riddick because he knows Riddick is bad.
Then Vin Diesel got the rights to the character and decided "Actually, it wasn't Riddick's mother that abandoned him. It was this Necro king guy that wanted to wipe out all of Riddick's race because Riddick is of a race of ultimate bad asses that are the only ones that can stop him. He killed every member of riddick's race by strangling them with their umbilical cords. The subsequent movies and mythos was all about jerking off Vin Diesel's ego.
Yeah, the "surgical shine job for 20 menthol cool" was just Riddick messing with 'Jack'. Afaik he developed that nightvision effect naturally and suddenly due to being an Furyan Alpha. He just made up the story that he gave a doctor in prison a pack of menthol cigarettes for 'shining' his eyes. Also because he couldn't explain why his eyes suddenly received innate nightvision (as he was just a baby on Furya back when a Necromonger commander razed his planet to the ground).
If you play the first Riddick videogame, it provides more insight in how Riddick developed the ability very suddenly at some point after meeting the preacher.
went looking for this comment cause its clear the watcher of the movie hadn't seen any of the others.
Not entirely... it was him trying to convince himself and come to grips with something that happened to him that he couldn't explain, that scared the shit out of him. Basically his Furyan Blood was awakening... along with his racial abilities & memories. Basically after the slam surgeon patched him up he was able to see in the dark, and started hearing voices in his head. As a result he was afraid he was going mad. To save his own sanity, he convinced himself it was all something that the slam surgeon did to him.
This theory is from ages ago, but my friends and I kicked around the idea that the invasive species was sent there for study due to the ‘forever day’ of the world it would be easy for the researchers to simply head upwards of the population got too aggressive, but they hadn’t taken into account the eclipse and got themselves and their families eaten because they under underestimated their research subjects.
It was a mining colony, there's no evidence of any scientific endeavours.
IIRC there's a (very brief) explanation in Pitch Black that the settlement they find belonged to terraformers or something along those lines. Been years since I watched PB but I do specifically remember them commenting on the ruins they come across, and it's never in any way implied that the bioraptors were transplanted onto the planet from elsewhere. Furthermore, the bioraptors never show up in any of the subsequent CoR movies.
Ohh that actually tracks with the bones of native fauna.
After all if they'd naturally evolved on that planet chances are the environment wouldn't be so barren. Unsustainable populations self regulate.
But an invasive species could and would nom all available meat sources.
A real world example would be rats on small Carribbean islands during the age of sail.
Many sailors found small tropical paradises. Only to return on later trips to find them completely barren.
On a larger scale. This would also explain their unsustainable numbers if the planet had originally been incredibly lush with flora and fauna but the bioraptors disrupted the ecosystem. Leading to it's quick but near total decimation.
Could also explain it still having an oxygen rich atmosphere with no visible plant or vegetation if it had had those things. But with them long dead, and the bioraptors propensity to tunnel and burrow destroying the root systems and causing desertification.
Maybe the planet has a now non-renewable level of oxygen in the atmosphere.
It all totally tracks as a hypothetical.
There are a number of reasons scientists wouldn't do this. Cool idea, though.
@@dacksonflux in our defense, there are a Lot of movies about scientists being dumb. We do, in fact, have more faith in irl scientists.
She goes back to the ship and Riddick tells her "Leave them and come with me."
She says "I would die for THEM."
So when she saves his life and dies he says " NOT FOR ME! "
She was not supposed to die for his sake. Riddick is a good person as clearly shown by him returning to save everyone, based off of her words. Her death temporarily broke him because when the going got tough, she showed herself to also be a good person.... unlike Yellowstone.
There you go.
I'd read that a bit differently - expressing the dynamics in simple terms like 'good' and 'evil' doesn't seem right here.
Fry initially didn't want to die for the passengers during the landing but then came around to see them as people, not just cargo - and was willing to sacrifice herself to save them.
Riddick found that 'interesting' - the will to sacrifice your life for another. But he did not consider himself worthy of that kind of sacrifice - not sure if he considered himself 'evil', but definitely he felt he was indebted to Fry after she sacrificed herself for him.
We know that Riddick would leave people like that in the past, so why act different now?
The only thing that comes to mind is respect for Fry's sacrifice, the feeling of being indebted, the moral obligation to pay the debt by completing what she was unable to because she sacrificed herself for him - the only way to achieve this would be to save the remaining passengers that she no longer could.
Does that make him and overally 'good' person? Not necessarily. It feels more like a matter of personal code or honor that's more important than self-preservation in this particular case.
Well said. Though it has less to do with being good and more to do with being honorable. Riddick was respecting how she changed, was willing to die for her duty despite initially being willing to kill them to save herself. Riddick is a cynic. He tries to be a decent person but he expects the worst from everyone so he often doesn't see the point of risking himself for them. He also genuinely believes that the things he has had to do to survive make him irredeemable. Not as bad as Johns, but still not worth saving.
@@0LT4R One slight correction. Riddick was known for, and was revealed in the special features in this movie to have been how he was actually caught by Yellowstone, because he DID go out of his way to save people. Particularly kids. Basically Yellowstone learned that Riddick had trouble leaving kids out to die so he baited a trap with one to catch Riddick.
@@grantpflum6844 Yeah your right. Honorable is the word that I would use. I was just trying to be as simple as possible for the comments section sake.
@@zaerogartorias9890 Fair enough. Its not meant as a criticism on my part but I personally find going over the nuisances the more interesting part of discussing the more morally grey characters like Riddick.
When vin diesel dislocates his arms and slips the cuffs through the crack, as he's falling he grabs a welding torch. he uses the welding torch to cut the cuffs
It's VD. He can do anything.
I think this guy speed watches movies cause he gets alot wrong sometimes.
@@veganrican606 To be fair he is also trying to find info on the creatures, characters & other such things so missing small details is to be expected but he as miss in your face things as well.
Wrong, he used family.
@@DanTheReaperMann True, but there are multiple times when he says "Not really sure why/how" which makes it sound like it's the film's writing that hasn't explained something when it's simply him not paying attention. Something that lends to this negative interpretation of the film's writing in my opinion is an easy misconception of "He's massively overanalysing this film for any small details so if he doesn't know the why or how behind something, it must be because the film doesn't provide doesn't provide it, right?"
The amount of references that you made for Vin Diesel is golden lol😂
I wonder how many people didn't understand why he kept calling the Pilgrim the Arbiter 😂😂
Fun fact, actually. It does say how Johns caught Riddick in the bonus material in the Pitch Black DVD. I forget the exacts, as it has been years since I saw it, but the meat and potatoes is that Johns took advantage of Riddick's soft spot for kids to capture him while he was actively holding a girl from falling into a ravine or something like that.
A ravine that Johns threw her into
That’s bullshit rewrites so riddick can look like a perfect “antihero” good guy
@@david-468No, it's a rewrite do that Riddick is actually catchable by humans, or else it would mean that the dude was as strong as a warrior race which is more BS than to believe that Riddick doesn't like hurting kids
@@diggydiggydwarf34 ah well it’s still about the same amount as bs as a prisoner being transported across a galaxy and apparently didn’t commit some major crime, when seemingly that would be the only reason to do so, shit that’s a punishment fitting blowing up a city or starting an uprising (which could’ve been cool if he was like a rebel group leader) but for a single murder? Or just being that species? They would just kill him immediately
@@david-468 Riddick really never wanted anything more than to be left alone. That's why he sequestered himself on the ice planet between Pitch Black (and Dark Fury) and The Chronicles of Riddick, and then got pissed when he thought Imam sold him out. It's stated in the lore that he's an alpha Furian, a pinnacle of an already superlative and warrior-like subrace of humanity, and at some level he knew that he wasn't normal. He was dumpster baby after the Necromongers killed his race, and it's stated in the lore that he repressed that memory to instead remember it as his mother dumped him off in said dumpster after he was born, rather than getting strangled with his umbilical by a Necromonger and presumed dead. While I admit that does seem a little far-fetched, please read up on the source material before you go spouting nerd-rage chotch.
26:32 iron is red, copper is blue, every darn metal, has it's own hue
I was just waiting for him to start rhyming at this point
Pitch Black was such an amazing introduction for the Riddick character. He was a wildcard that kept you guessing right until the very end. You spent the whole movie waiting for him to screw everyone over, and it wasn't until years after the first watch that I realized he spent the whole movie waiting for them to screw him over. It's a way better movie than people give it credit for.
Also, the "Not for me" line was because Riddick explicitly asked Fry before if she would die for THEM. He doesn't even see himself as a person, so he never expects anyone else to. No one would ever come back for him. Then she did, and got got for it. She was one of the very few genuinely good people Riddick had ever met, and she died helping someone who didn't deserve it. Again, the movie is better than it has any right to be.
Exactly.
Yeah Pitch Black was a good movie, Chronicles was a fun action flick but lacked the depth and was basically just a bunch of anit it cool moments and ideas strung together. Riddick took a few steps back closer to Pitch Black but still wasn't as good but better than Chronicles. Dark Fury is hard to compare the rest as it was shorter than the other 3 and was probably made to connect PB and Chronicles because the two movies were so different.
Triple star systems are quite common and 31 have been found to have planets in various types of orbits. So I think this is one of the believable aspects of the film, which I really like. Predicting the orbits of a three body system is notoriously difficult. The shiny eyes was a thing I wanted to know more about and this gives an explanation.
In Escape From Butcher Bay a surgeon Gives Riddick an “Eye Shine Job” like he says
Yes and no, he gets them after a vision from Shira while pope Joe is stitching his arm and thinks Joe did something to him so he grabs him by the neck.
It wasn't the surgeon.
Dude-man-bro, your channel has brought so much laughter into my life. I've been going through a lot recently, and have been feeling pretty depressed. Your analytical and comedic style of games and movies have made me feel so much better. I thank you and keep on doing what you're doing!!
Life might push you down, but remember you will always get up stronger. If you ever need a chat the RG community will have your back like a buttcrack
hang in there bro!
Keep on pushing my guy. No-one struggles alone. Even though it can feel like it.💪
Bruh same x
Sorry to hear that man but we get it, life can just suck sometimes. Hang in there
The glowing worms showed that only nearly everything was eating by the creatures
the sequels were fun but the creatures from this movie has been by far his most challenging and deadly opponents.
Agreed. Also some of the coolest alien threats of the universe, possibly on par with xenomorphs. At least on their planet
@@cameronhermann9400 I believe Pitch Black was actually a repurposed 'Alien' script
That's what I thought, but didn't they say they were larva of the bioraptors? Which I thought was dumb at first, why would an animal so averse to light give it off as an infant. Until I remembered they are highly cannibalistic, it would make a great defense mechanism to protect themselves from the more mature ones.
The Riddick movies are such guilty pleasures for me love this 😂
Let's be honest, you're not feeling any guilt about enjoying these movies.
"Not for me." was like his characters turning point as the pilot/new captain said she'd give her life for the survivors and ended up dying for Riddick causing him to feel some real emotional conflict that could have sparked his less criminal behavior in the following films
Your delivery on 'My brother in christ what are you talking about' absolutely cracked me up
It's always wild to me that the best depictions of lovecraft monsters have no Lovecraft connection.
These are nightgaunts.
Hell, this whole movie is basically futuristic Conan.
@SerbianLifter997 oh, I appreciate the frontier horror aspects also but it plays out like a Robert Howard story.
I can see the Dune elements in the later movies.
None of them were as good as this first movie though.
The substance, bro. Check it out. crazy science up in that beeyatch!
@SerbianLifter997 top of my head, the red nail has Conan getting put in his place by a lady he wants to sleep with and a fight with a dinosaur in the opening few pages.
Conan is often either captured or put in a place where he needs to be saved like a Greek hero from whatever princess or queen or heroine is in the story.
I could make a reading list for you if you're genuinely interested.
You seem to be confused by my wording in some way.
The film "Pitch Black" is like a Conan story written by Robert E. Howard, the author of Conan stories.
@SerbianLifter997 I've read dozens of Conan books and quite often women are prominent in his success, sometimes evil women being turned by him, sometimes a servant, sometimes almost an equal. Are you such an intimidated misogynist that you can't accept that? No icky women allowed in your gay male power fantasy? Talk about dishonest!
@SerbianLifter997 are you having a psychotic break or just a chatbot?
Well he clearly grabs a torch when he falls forward. Pause the clip at 7:40, thats is how he gets out of his handcuffs. Come on Roanoke youre supposed to be the observant guy. And him screaming "Not for me" was in reference to her saying "she would die for the others". He didnt consider himself someone worthy of being killed for. Dude knew he was a "monster". Though he probably never killed the innocent.
yes he killed who tried to kill him or his pack or did kill his pack.
Yup
I remember being shocked learning Pitch Black and Riddick were the same universe because when the Riddick game came out the characters name sounded familiar to me and then I remember the SciFi channel airing Pitch Black and going "oh crap that's where I heard of him!"
Edit: Okay "shocked" is a bit exaggerating, but it was still surprising because this is the pre-"everything is a connected universe because MCU made so much moneys" era of media where it was lucky something established outside it's debut media.
Me too
Man I had a copy of the Riddick game second hand and it aleays froze up just before the end of the first level. Im still mad about it.
You're easily shocked huh?. You must have had a heart attack when they kept making things with Riddick in it. Warning, there's another film coming, get yourself prepared.
@@scottneil1187 Good. Hopefully it doesn't suck.
@@scottneil1187 Easily shocked? Shocked may be a bit over exaggeration on my part but before Marvel had its MCU moment and ultimately ruined the industry with oversaturation of intellectual properties, uh YEAH.
I would say a film that everyone slept on having connections to an underrated gem of a game was wild to find out in the early 2000s.
And yes I heard about the new Riddick film
10:43 Fun fact, that wasn't Riddick being a troll, that was Vin Diesel taking a break when the cameraman focused on him. They just left that in cuz it was funny.
I love that the chronicles of Riddick are still getting attention, these movies are some of my favorites
Oh hell yeah man! Pitch Black gets it turn on the channel! Thanks bro, looking forward to it
Riddick's "Not for me" statement was pretty simple to understand if you watched the whole movie and paid any attention....It has a lot to do with Captain Fry's whole character arc.
In the beginning of the movie, during the crash sequence, Fry was releasing the rear compartments of the ship in order to try regaining control. When she got to passenger compartments she said: "I'm not dying for them", showing she was willing to purge anything, or anyone, if it helped her regain control, and survive.
In another scene later on, Riddick tries to tempt Fry onto the escape ship, abandoning the last 2 passengers. Fry fights him, but Riddick inevitably comes out on top; literally. He asks her: "You'd die for them?" She eventually says," Goddamn it, Riddick. Yes, I would die for them. " Riddick takes his shades off and studies her for a moment, sees her determination, and simply says: "Interesting".
In a scene a little bit later on Fry approaches an injured Riddick after he had gone off into the dark fighting multiple raptors. She grabs him and starts dragging him towards the ship and to try to encourage him says: C'mon Riddick, said I'd die for them. Not for you. Its only a few moments later when everything slows down and the audience hears a flesh slashing sound. The scene slows as both Fry and Riddick study each other and the audience tries to figure out who was just mortally wounded. A moment later Fry is snatched off into the night. Riddick, showing a moment of humanity says, in rage and horror: "Not for me!"
He imploring Fry, or fate, maybe even god that it wasn't supposed to be this way as she wasn't supposed to die for him.
Worse part he saw them end her you can see the look in his eyes as he watches as that makes it worse for him
I know the emergency procedures being in use and pilot studied it so hard to be a true professional... BUT you deployed head's wings which meant to stabilize you horizontally, but it also pushes nose up so hard your dead weight dump will be useless.
Pitch Black is one of my favorite movies of all time. The sound design of the Bioraptors. The design of everything. It completely shifted how I look at horror.
Good video.
Btw, the reason the ships were not armored to withstand space debris is that they fly along flight routes that are supposed to be free of debris, and they were off course (if I am remembering correctly). Kind of like how most cargo/cruise vessels arent rated for reefs/pack ice: they aren't travelling through it and if they are, things have gone VERY wrong.
In Chronicles of Riddick the “dog” like creatures have the same eyes as him. This was clever way to explain about his surgical “Shine Job.” Because CoR retconned Pitch Black.
Still tossing out a few good options:
Isolation (2005)
Prophecy (1979)
Harbinger Down (2015)
Oh shit. Prophecy 1979. The movie used to TERRIFY me.
@VictorCrackus as goofy as the film as a whole is, that bear design is horrifying!
@@VictorCrackus leviathan 1989 would be great but he'll never do a video on it if you know his hatred of a certain sea life creature
I second Prophecy and Harbinger Down. Never seen Isolation, but the other two are incredible
@@kamikazipidgion AGREED. The film is goofy, but anytime that bear is anywhere, elevated levels of dread.
The Angler Fish Mafia sends their regards. We've teamed up with the Bio-raptors
Sheeeeeeeiiiiiiit
My interpretation of the "Not for me!" was that it was about how he was heartbroken that she sacrificed herself for him.
It's cause she said she would die for THEM, but she died for him instead
She goes back to the ship and Riddick tells her "Leave them and come with me."
She says "I would die for THEM."
So when dies saves his life and dies he says " NOT FOR ME! "
She was not supposed to die for his sake. Riddick is a good person as clearly shown by him returning to save everyone, based off of her words. Her death temporarily broke him because when the going got tough, she showed herself to also be a good person.... unlike Yellowstone.
Same
Yeah I don't know how he missed that. It was pretty obvious.
Fun trivia fact about armor against space debris: It does already exist, at the moment, what is used on some satelites, is called ripple shields. They consist of multiple layers of foils with distance between the layers. But if your vehicle is constructed in space and weight is not that big of an issue anymore, you would definitly add armor plating for such a vehicle if you don't have energy shields or something like that.
The "My Brother in Christ, what are you talking about?" has me rolling 🤣
Can't believe Roanoke actually out here insinuating that animals don't have inner monologues. My dog had an inner monologue, and I should know, I narrated her thoughts out loud,
This gave me a chuckle
I love dog talking for my dogs they always end up with such funny back stories
And they only come in two flavors: “no thoughts, head empty” and “allofthethoughtsallrightnow!”
Honestly, I haven't seen any of the Riddick movies in years, but I first saw them all when I was a kid and they've always stuck with me. They're great movies imo, and had some fascinating world-building and creatures.
Vin Diesel has the rights to Riddrick!
He doesnt make more cause he doesnt want to!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
More like he does not have money to make them, Riddick 2013 was a flop although movie was decent and akin to Pitch Black.
He's making the 4th one just now.
@@corwincori861Shows how much you know, he's making the 4th one now.
@@scottneil1187 it is good if he does.
@@scottneil1187the last information a lot of us had was that he wanted to make more but nobody wanted to help with it. Excuse us for not knowing every bit of obscure information.
That futurama episode is one of my favorites. Leela says that the emperor Fry drank could've been poisoned, and Fry counters with chances were equal that it could've been an alien emperor, and I love how dumb but fundamentally true it is
this felt more like a plot explanation of Pitch Black then a discussion on the speculative biology of bioraptors 🫤
My father once woke up and went sprinting into the kitchen looking for the white buffalo. He then went back to bed and doesn't remember this.
With Furians being so close to humans as we know them, it makes me think that humans either left Earth at some point or Earth isn't our home planet.
Furians are actually an offshoot of humanity, in the lore. And (somehow) in the like 600 years they’d been on Furya, they adapted to the super harsh environment and became almost a separate species of human
@@wholesomesunbro1 There are at least 3 seperate Human variants in the story. Standard humans, Furians, and Elementals. There are also the necro people, but it seems like you can at least turn Furians and standard humans into them. There are also several different alien animals that have at least dog levels of intelegence. It seems like Vin gets to make a new Riddik movie for every 4 Fast&Furious movies. We are due a part 4 for the character.
I think I saw a post somewhere that they are writing one that's about his origins, but I could be wrong
@@shyannemarshall7163 There's a rumored fourth Riddick movie but it's going to take time to develop as Vin Diesel funds them himself since the first movie through the fast and furious films.
What do you mean we can't put shag carpet in a vehicle?!?!
It's weird how many non connected Riddick videos are coming out this weekend. Between this, Skalgard and his knives, and a couple others it's like an unofficial Pitch Black weekend! Might watch the movies too now.
The first movie looks super cheap but it's actually awesome
@dangeroushandles I've seen them just makes me want to go back
Who's skalgard?. Is he related to Skallagrim?.
@@scottneil1187 it was probably autocorrect thing, I miss it's changes in my texts all the time...
@scottneil1187 I think it auto corrected but yes that's who I speak of.
Maybe the armor did exist, but they still have accidents. Even more when you fly "coach".
Fun fact: the Kryll in Gears of War are based on Bioraptors
I always loved how the pilgrim guy makes a bunch of blind assumptions and ends up being right most of the time.
religion based plot armor?
Yeah, totally. "Blue sun, blue water".
@gastrofile tbh water is not blue, and that desert is not on Earth.
@@Dushess I think the absolute absurdity of the statement is a bigger deal than where they are or aren't.
Space foam!
Activates when there a breach
Doesn't prevent the initial breach
But prevent decompression!
Liquid armor panels, moving shield parts on a hull, but that was a simple cargo ship, also pretty old. That's why.
Escape from Butcher Bay (Game) actually has him receive said "Shine Job" and yeah, it's why he has Eyes that can see in the dark, before that he doesn't have them. Canon status for the game is questionable but Vin Diesel did reprise his role for the game.
Honestly I enjoyed the game's interpretation. It adds to Riddick's mysterious and antagonizing character when you learn what really happened vs what he tells Kira
Based off of the second movie it's revealed that Riddick is part of a race of humans called Furyans that have two groups to them alphas and normal ppl, alphas have genetic mutations that allow them better to survive on the planet Furya
The Furyan we see in the second movie doesn't have it, I think the "Shine Job" only worked because he's a Furyan, not something natural to a Furyan.
@@Will_Parker There are two subclasses of Furyans ones that have the eyes shine mutations and ones that don't
@SerbianLifter997 He didn't get any surgery on his eyes. Pope literally just stitched some wound on his arm when Riddick got a vision and got his alpha genes activated. To be frank, it is very impressive for whole tapetum lucidum to be grown in mere seconds. Welp, Furians are not to be underestimated.
Hahahaha. Hahahahaha. "The Arbiter." LMAO! That was gold. Subscribed.
Man pitch black was one of the coolest pieces of media I've ever consumed, I'm glad it's still talked about
29:11 wtf. This whole time i thought they were quadrupeds, especially with the way it used its "arm" to frighten that guy in the beginning. 🤯
In certain scenes it almost looks like they use their large tails as a third limb. Presumably, they can balance and (at least to some extent) support their weight on it.
Glad to hear your moving on, as well as you can I mean. Same here
Dude I'm 34, I partied a lot in my younger years, & I've watched all of your movie-biology breakdowns. I'm just as big of a hypochondriac as you are. Thanks for the great content dude. I always click the videoa as soon as I notice them.
What Bothered Me about the "Shine Job" line is He said He Paid a Carton of Cools for it, when I'm pretty Sure Cool isnt a Galaxy wide Brand
Makes it sound like a cheap and easy job as well
I’m so glad u started posting more often bc I now know scripts to videos bc I rewatch so much them to sleep to your narration lmao good night Roanoke 😂
1:17 at the time it was supposed to be a reflective chemical injected behind his eyes so he could see better in the dark like a dog or cat, so he'd always wear welding goggles in the light. Later on it turns out he was lying
Not sure if he lied, but the Chronicles of Riddick retconned it as being born that way.
@@tabathacarruthers5122Wasn’t it also revealed in Escape from Butcher Bay that he didn’t actually get his Eyeshine from the Surgeon, but rather it was an Alpha Furyan ability? Either Riddick was lying or he was in complete denial about it until Chronicles of Riddick.
@@TheGary108 No, in the game he gets it from Pope Joe in The Pit after he's thrown in. That was the original explanation for his eyeshine.
@@Aro9313 Huh. I’m trying to remember where I saw that particular cutscene. Might be from another Riddick game.
@Aro9313 In Escape from Butcher Bay, he got his eyes through I would say mystical means. He heard a voice say you've been blind too long and he felt his eyes change. Then he went through a tunnel dark tunnel and a guy ask him what he sees, Riddick says everything.
Imagine a giant anglerfish
I'm pretty sure it was never said that his eyes were an evolutionary trait of the Furians. The few other Furians we see weren't shown to have this same trait (they could see just fine in daylight without needing the goggles that Riddick has to wear). I believe it was the second movie that explains/insinuates that Riddick's eyes are that way because he had someone replace his eyes with those of the big cat-like creatures that are in the prison on Crematioria.
I believe they say in one of the films hes a alpha furian which have those eyes but I might be wrong
Yea your right, it's definitely not apart of the furians biology. They even go over the surgey in one of the games.
@@jester3443 eyes are a product of Furian what ever the fuck "magick". Riddick can also force blast people near him in dire situations.
He had them done in Butcher bay prison. It was in the game.
It was in a cut scene of chronicles of Riddick
I was always convinced that the only reason Jons was able to take Riddick was the drugs he was taking amping him up, and Riddick being hungry/starving from being imprisoned. However it happened, he was a badass.
Ah, my favorite sci-fi critter finally gets its own video. It really is a one of a kind creature with a really cool yet haunting sound pattern that I've never heard anywhere else.
Day 22 of asking Roanoke to face his fears and cover Subnautica.
Seconded!
I'm fairly sure he's played it already, but it would be nice to get a break down on things like he does with dead space and other games.
The problem is its been done heavily.
The Chronicles of Riddick are jist a fun experience. Very cool surprise to have you cover it fam.
4:49 My boyfriend told me about a time one night where I, still asleep, sat up and turned to him and started going on a rant about how "if you sent someone from the year 3000 back to the year 2000 they wouldn't know what to do!". Apparently I yapped for ten minutes before flopping back down like nothing had happened. Those poor year-3000ers.
Vin Diesel has to be all Knowing and All Powerful in any movie he's in 😅
FINALLY. I've been waiting for you to get this movie analyzed ever since I first found your channel. I knew I was right to sub
Cole Hauser's character, Johns, still has the most gnarly death scene imo. Dude throws down with Riddick, for the 20th time appearantly, gets slashed up the back, skewered by a huge bioraptor, and then gets his head turned into a giant vagina. Good times.
Even more than the woman who was torn apart by the equivalent of the kryll from Gears of War? Despite the slash from Riddick, he died in an instant. Meanwhile, the chick was basically put in a blender and was still alive for the few seconds that her removed head was still a whole. 😏
@@IchigoKurosaki_ Im just sayin Johns was a beast. All the runner up bounty hunters that went after Riddick were just 10 second meat. Tombs survived Riddick twice. Johns CAPTURED Riddick twice.
@SerbianLifter997 Oh shit, yeah. I forgot about Butchers bay. Great game, evelutionary even for its time, ( fuck im old) and since it is canon make that THRICE Johns captured Riddick. Haha. Love the Ahab synopsis
Gotta say how much I appreciate your natural delivery over so many other channels' uncanny amalgamation of TV talking head and hyped up zoomer cadence.
FINALLY! This is one of my top guilty pleasure movies. The Bioraptors are crazy. Thank you for covering these guys.
I kind of wish this movie had come out when I was a teenager. I would have loved it. But being nearly 30 with an environmental science and biology degree, I sat in the theater thinking, "so much of this movie doesn't make any sense!" And Vin Diesel's character was pretty hard to take seriously. I still kind of liked it, but also thought it was really dumb.
@@ressljs Yeah I was a young lad when I first saw this movie. I'm also 30 and I grew up watching this as a guilty pleasure alongside Starship Troopers. They're classics in my opinion from a bygone era in cinema.
@@ressljs I don't think it's an issue with Riddick (the character) specifically, to be honest. Pitch Black seems to be one of those horror movies that doesn't take itself super seriously, sort of like Tremors. They both play themselves fairly straight and narrow but not excessively so.
“Shag carpet in her vehicle” is an underrated sentence. 😂
Love that the flashing lights warning goes up right as the lights start flashing. Actively trying to give people seizures, very based.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and that one scene where he's blowing fire into the air with alcohol scared the ever loving s*** out of me after seeing just how many of those creatures were there
Sure. I wasn't a kid though.
Same here this movie was one of the first movies I saw where a boy like me got brutally killed and definitely showed me not to wander off from the group😂
You my friend have made my day with a pitch black analysis. One of my favorite movies.
Edit: you should also play escape from butcher bay and dark Athena, they’re kind of cannon since they happen before pitch black. Plus the first game has xzibit.
YES! It’s been one of my favorites since I was a kid, too! 😎😎
They're not kinda canon, they are canon. Vin Diesel owns everything Riddick and his game studio made the two games.
@@hmohngcheelee7549 Those games are canon.
Really enjoyed you covering this. I watched this film on a super old TV when it was first shown on normal TV, with adverts and everything. It was so bad during the almost totally pitch black sections I could hardly see anything. Wasn't until watching it years later on a much more up to date TV that I saw it like it's supposed to look.
I really enjoyed it and the others, so I would definitely enjoy having you cover those too. I always wanted the chronicles to be more than just 3 films.
I’ve been waiting for a long time for you to cover this series
Having witnessed agonal breathing it was horrible but after finding out about it it was a relief to know when it happened, my cat was already gone. She'd had a normal evening, played, ate, went for a nap in her favourite spot and then that happened. My friend who was a veterinarian nurse told me that my cat would have never have never actually have woken up or been aware and would have died in her sleep and that was her body not realising that she'd already gone. She was 10 years old. I filmed some of what she was doing to show the vet while my partner got everything ready to get her to the emergency vets but the whole thing lasted 6 minutes and she was gone before the vet answered the phone.
Roanoke. I cannot thank you enough. You have single handedly answered more questions that I’ve had in life than any college course or job has. Keep up the amazing work!!!
I love the chronicles of Riddick.
Started with the xbox 360 game, Escape from Butcher Bay. Now I watch all the movies constantly. Vin diesel is even making the final one!
It started with Pitch Black, the game was on PC and ps3 too.
I believe what Riddick was trying to say is that he didn't want her do die for him. Thus, "Not for me!"
So Simply. Space cats. Yes space cats. Ironically cats are essentially the most invasive species throughout the entire planet that compete with the rats.
Australia will testify to that
My theory is that after getting partially deafened by the jet this human had to rely even more on vision, thus developing keener eyesight explaining why he is so good at spotting plotholes
Roanoke never fails to post during my Saturday morning burrito run.
Something to eat the burrito to when you get back lmao
I never liked the retcon that Riddick was a Furyan as if he could be misremembering an event such as major prison surgery or have no idea he was a different species…
Furyans aren't a different species. There is actually a pretty cool bit of lore on this, where early humanity in that universe realized that they would need to adapt to life off earth and so they developed some tech (probably bioengineering) to adapt humans to hostile environments. This created 4 "elder races" including the Furyans and Necromongers who were adapted to very hostile non-human environments (with Furya being the most extreme). They learned terraforming, so this practice stopped, and they started adapting planets to baseline humans rather than creating superhumans who could adapt to hostile environments.
Bro. He was a prisoner. He was obviously lying.

Species or peoples? I always thought he was a human from a different planet.
Riddick isn't an alien. The Furions are an offshoot of humanity. Basically what 40K fans would call abhumans.
That's literally just not true. Furyans are their own species. Also, literally any species not on your home world could be considered an "alien"
"Offshoot of humanity" and "separate species" are not mutually exclusive.
Humans are an offshoot of homonids, but we aren't the only one.
In "Escape from Butcher Bay" he don't have his special eyes and later he had, some kind tricknology I can guess.
@@Welnisty also the game lore may be just standing out. Because in the Crematorium's prison has been revealed that such doctor never existed and the eye operation is a bs. (seriously, such advanced changes in a PRISON's hospital??)
You're an offshoot Warhammer nerd
Hey just found your channel! Glad this is the first video I saw, Pitch Black is one of my favourite sci-fi films! The creatures, and concept of being crashed and stranded on a backwater planet... It's all just "cool."
I appreciate your names for characters, really funny lol...
Most people dont even know Pitchblack is part of the Riddick series 😅👍
I just started watching Futurama, boy did they aged well.
Don't watch the latest stuff, it's bad. Typical bad reboot.
@@VikingKong.Not at all. Some of it is bad, some is good.
#1 show baby
New season is great. Some hit or miss episodes but so did all the seasons.
I can't hear about Chronicles of Riddick without associating it with early Funhaus and thinking about " Butt Dick Riddick versus Dick Butt Diddick. "
I was literally thinking the same thing 😂 so glad someone here knows about that.
In the game Riddick gets his eye shine, but its not from a doctor but a gift from a god like entity for his people.
Worth mentioning that the Phorusrhacids (Terror Birds) were already mostly gone by the time North and South America reconnected. They were already in decline, when new competition showed up, and at least some moved northwards and thrived for a while in North America before finally disappearing from the world.
Also, the franchise has 2 live-action sequels (with a third in production) and an anime-esque direct sequel. There are also a few games that serve as prequels.
