If someone could insert a picture of RIddick, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- PunkRock911 16:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
There was a one-shot Sci-Fi Channel Special shown just prior to the release of Pitch Black the Movie. It stated that weeks prior to Riddick's escape he drew a picture detailing the locations of four bodies that were discovered after his escape. It is suggested that either Riddick is some sort of pre-cognizant or that he is just that skilled in the studying of routines and behavior. No one in the article or the discussion has mentioned the Sci-Fi channel special which provided much additional information which may or may not be canonical. 70.137.143.101 00:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Zodiak
yeah i like how riddick describes in detail how the gunfight between the mercs and the russians have gone,the trajectories, empty sell casings, bullet trails, his mind is extremely analytical 83.130.126.141 13:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
what? what did i did wrong now i don't understand i wasn't attacking anyone here what the hell!! 83.130.57.218 22:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
well.....i did said that his mind is extremely analytical 83.130.14.14 10:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
i obey only one rule "tho shall not attack another user" 84.229.195.136 13:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I find it pretty interesting that the Quasi-Dead in TCoR called Riddick "The Riddick," as if it were some sort of title....Hmmm, maybe there is more to his name than we thought. If someone with knowledge of Dark Fury and the novelization shed some light on this, if all possible. BishopTutu 01:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
First off, we can't even consider Shirah's "unlocking" scene to be canonical since it was only in the director's cut; the only true, verifiable incident of the "energy attack" is in Butcher Bay, in which Shirah doesn't touch him at all. Though she does talk to him, she never touches him like she does in the "unlocking" scene; for all we can gather, Riddick does this seemingly completely on his own, without Shirah's "unlocking." Even more so, Riddick (after doing the attack) simply tells Abbott, the only surviving victim, "see? Look at what you made me do," simply brushing off the incident. If you wish to get even deeper, because Riddick simply brushes it off, we could possibly infer that Riddick could have done this before, at least accidentally. In the end, we can't use the director's cut as a verifiable source (at least on this subject) until further notice (that is, if the next film uses director's cut-exclusive information). BishopTutu 03:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Except, of course, that the same company that made the movie made the game! And Vin Diesel, who has had a hand in writing and providing story at least from Chronicles onward, also had a hand in the game's story. It was created by the people who could make it MOST accurate and relevant to the canon. Stating that one is more accurate than the other is pretty moot, considering they are both fiction and subject to retcon at any time. The fact of the matter is: in the canonical, theatrical cut of the film, Riddick didn't use that attack. In the so far equally canonical Butcher Bay, he did use it! There ya go. I only had seen the DX of the film and didn't even know Shirah wasn't prevalent in the theatrical version, so it threw me off, too. Supastaa88 ( talk) 23:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
(riddick him self was a merc once...) Riddick was an elite Company Ranger assigned to Sigma Galaxy's planet where all vital resources are guarded by native nasty-butt aliens with motion-sensors instead of eyes, It was Riddick and three other guys' job to "sweep" the tunnels of the "Spitfire" aliens (that's what they called them)playing like a live bait, so the others can ambush them. Riddick was promoted to the prestigious Strikeforce Academy on Sigma 3's moon, where he learned all there was to know about deadly combat.(college of professionaly trained-killers) when he was assigned to enforce security on Sigma 3 Riddick finally discovered that this Company was running a crooked game everywhere it operated. He found that it was basically amoral slavery, torture, and bloodthirsy murder, so he spoke out against it, but instead of changing the system from an inhumane, crooked organization they put him in the prison ("Deep Storage" as the book puts it) as if he were a criminal. He was wronged! Wronged by a big government (so to speak)! But he escaped before 3 years were up. He overpowered a guard (sounds like Riddick alright, lol) took his uniform and "slipped free." He had to shoot two guards and a pilot. He "took off with the prison planet's only space freighter. The Company promply put a million-credit contract on his head" Now a "cosmic outcast" he had every merc "in the space lanes" after him. Riddick took them out one after the other and they tallied them up as his "serial killings." Johns had been the smart one. He blasted two children to get his attention and threatened to do two more unless he surrendered. 83.130.125.81 15:14, 23 December 2006 UTC
what i need to do then? 84.228.11.96 14:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
what i wrote from above is from the novel, which tells about his starship trooper-like life and trainning, there is a animated comic "slamcity" depicting how he aquired his upgrade for eyes unfortunately this was retconed with the whole chronicles expansion (specificaly the "Butcher bay" game where his arrival and escape is much more difficult and different also the eye "upgrade" being partly "shira's mystical gift" in nature) 84.228.11.96 19:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
the flash comic was partialy an outside source, but due to retcon is no longer 84.228.11.96 20:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
the retconning factor includes, riddick coming from an evolved offshoot of human species "Furyans" 84.228.11.96 20:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
what the cool comic? in pitch black site, look deeper you will find it 84.228.11.96 20:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
i like to talk about riddick 84.228.11.96 20:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
wich part? 84.228.11.96 20:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
90% yes, check the chronicles site, there is "hunt for riddick" flash game, complete it on its entirety, it offers a lot of info about the riddickverse. even when the whole futuristic setting takes place somewhere after 27's century the rest 10% is what hinted but not outright stated 84.228.11.96 20:35, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
www.thechroniclesofriddick.com, but click the "pitch black" first, then the "chronicles"
is that was about my last semi-swear word, but you used the word c-r-a-p? i thought i could too well, i guess its your house, your rules i am but a guest here i am sorry, i am friendly 84.228.11.96 21:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
whooa dear dude you are too tight about the double-max qlarify sources alert!(in robotic voice). you need to trust your instincts sometimes just like "shyra" says 84.228.11.96 21:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
soo you seen that flash comic how was it cool right? its sad that it was retconned
also there is a "into pitch black" feature video it gives some info
84.228.11.96
21:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
please explain what is insignificant? every piece is vital (in my mind though) 84.228.11.96 21:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
what's with the crimes section?
84.228.11.96
21:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
i would have doing the same thing for the safety of imam and jack
there is a difference between survival instinct killer and a bloodlusty killer
okay if its only about facts 84.228.11.96 22:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
on the vakko page i got the impression that lord marshal did realise that he is gonna get killed, he just rather chose to get killed by riddick than his trusted officer vakko "You keep what you kill" 84.228.80.168 12:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
i agree with you and respect what you say, but i can't help but notice that necromonger's boss realised that his fate is inevitable, here how it all goes(atleast in my eyes)
yes when he almost succeds to kill riddick he says "YOU Not the one to bing me down"
then gets hit from behind by kyra, knocks her to the air, it just looks like when he is wounded and asks vaako to help, vakko wants to sever his head instead (greedy family ah!) marshal is in shocking suprise that he is betrayed by his trusty officer, marshall pulls out his astral form in a split-second
to look around where to displace safely, sees riddick waiting for him to do it, marshall realised that
from both ways he is DEAD, he rather chose to be slayn by riddick's hand
80.230.242.137
13:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
sorry my mistake,well i agree partly on that the necro's boss says "you not the one to bring me down",but the necro's boss dosen't seems so suprised when he gets skull-knifed, what other people told you about this dramatic moment? 84.228.9.169 20:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
oh maybe you right. well lets talk about riddick's energy discharge incidents!, the way i see it, shyra needed to actually directly unlock riddick's power to maximum radius potential, riddick can do somewhat on his own a smaller radius blast, what do you think? (no-fart humor intended) 84.228.9.169 21:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
well, maybe you are right again!, mr.bishoptutu did you check out the flash game on riddick's site and explored it fully ? 84.228.9.169 21:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
what the b. in his name stands for? 83.130.126.141 10:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

notice how necromonger's boss astral form DID actually notice riddick waiting for him. also riddick displayed an ability to fight-off lord marshall's spirit-ripping powers (riddick's spirit must be so strong, indeed an unconquerable furyan "animal thing" )
80.230.213.91 14:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
okay you don't want to agree with me, but atleast riddick's remarkable resistance to lord's spirit-ripper powers should be noted 83.130.174.27 20:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
my apologies for the rampancy 84.228.177.241 18:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

well yes the it happens in slow motion....only for the necro's boss. User:84.228.177.241|84.228.177.241]] 19:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
i feel lord marshall is significant to riddick's life, he slaugtered his momy and dady, made him an orphan, lord is sourcely responsible to why riddick grow up to be what he is, in the end riddick avenged his parents 84.228.177.241 20:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
about body count section is it necessary to title it as "crimes"? i feel some sense of blind and unrealistic pacifism, but i am partly agree because there is one kill wich is questionable in "dark fury cartoon" when he pined down some merc to the ground, the merc is disarmed does not pose any threat anymore and yet gets his neck crushed(off-screen) 84.228.177.241 20:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thank you far to kind 84.228.177.241 21:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
riddick got set upped by the company-according to the novel.
according to the pitch black's website riddick joined a mercenary platoon in some vaguely referenced war, which he slaughtered in a fit of bloodlust all his "merc'platoon"
84.229.195.136
17:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
but still the info on the website fits nicely without interference 84.229.195.136 19:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
there is some battle vaguley referenced "the wailing wars" and johns the merc specialized in
tracking down the deserters of that battle(those who abandoned orders)
oh thank you for removing the crimes section
84.229.195.136
19:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
riddick did one questionable kill in "dark fury cartoon" when he pined down some merc to the ground, the merc is disarmed does not pose threat anymore and yet gets his neck crushed (off-screen)its conflicting with his code, but it could stem from his hatered for mercs.
in the pinal part of the flash game on chronicles of riddick site, when you explore his hideout you get caught up in a rope-trap, riddick comes and frees you and says the following in his creepy and dry voice:
"since you are not a real merc, i'am gonna give you a chance, take off NOW, and don't tell what you found and what.......you didn't found"
if i chose to remain silent about riddick's whereabouts to the mercs, the mercs still go looking for him but get killed instead, riddik dosen't kills you though, instead he gives you a thropy and says "they still followed to my cave, but you didn't flinch" 84.229.195.136 22:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
but if you chose to tell the mercs where to look for riddick, the mercs give you some chunk of cash, then mercs get killed in a eyeblink, riddick then comes to you and guts you saying "you behaved like a merc, you die like a merc" 84.229.195.136 22:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
its okay to ignore the last part of the game(because its not follows the movie) but the other parts give outside source of refernces that follow the movie well with extra info, did you checked out the flash game yet? 84.229.195.136 22:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
http://www.thechroniclesofriddick.com/hunt/index.html
please you have to check this link–
riddick chose to subconsiously believe into technical and plausible explanation ablout how he received clear night sight
but but you did checked the link right? you said previously that you can use this info
I never said I could use it. I merely said that I would see if it could be integrated into the article. BishopTutu 20:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
but you checked it right? what parts prevent it from integrating?
that flash thing is it is a official outside source integrate it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you were joking, you need to calm down. I'm still dealing with major issues with another article. BishopTutu 06:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Ά♥Ω - I'm new here and I'm kind of confused. I've read the above discussion and I'm not sure I understand how you determine "canon". The definition here in Wikipedia defines canon as "..., in the context of a fictional universe, comprises those novels, stories, films, etc., that are considered to be genuine or officially sanctioned, and those events, characters, settings, etc., that are considered to have existence within the fictional universe" [my emphasis added]. Why then is the novelization of PB unacceptable? (and isn't the TCoR pop up commentary where they mention he learned to pilot in the military at least indirect secondary verification?) I don't understand what is meant by an outside source. How can you have an outside source for a fictional character whose existence stems from a single source - i.e. Universal Studios? Is not everything produced by Universal Studios/David Towhy in relation to the Riddick universe -- from the novelizations and flash movie (PCSlam City) to the SciFi channel PB "sequel" (Into Pitch Black) and online game (Hunt for Riddick) -- "officially sanctioned" and "considered to have existence within the fictional universe"? I recognize not everything is going to jive 100%. Obviously canon wise Audrey has been retconned (I had to go look that term up - LOL - you learn something new every day) to Jack, but that shouldn't invalidate the book as a whole should it? When it so much obviously still matches up in so many other places? Unless the info is/becomes contradictory, it seems to me it is just as valid. And frankly it doesn't matter if it is confirmed through 4 seperate sources (as the surgical origin for the eyeshine was, including 1 source that was put out [I think] a post-game), the studio can shift it at their whim. I don't want to come across sounding belligerent; I am genuinely confused. Please help me understand.

anyone has any data on his childhood etc ? i think i remember him saying he had an umbilical cord around his neck and in a trash bin or something, might be a reference to the necromongers killing every furyan ? (this was in chronicles of riddick) Tyriel 10:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I have the DVD of the chronicles of Riddick and when the hell hounds growl the subtitles refer to them as Thrashes, so which one do we put them down as? 58.163.63.198 ( talk) 04:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Under Riddick's abilities there's no reference to the "I'll kill you with my tea cup" schitck he did when he confronted those guards who had cornered Kira. The DVD special features mentions that one of the things one learns as a matter of survival in the triple max slams is how to make a weapon out of anything...and they do mean anything.

Some time ago, this page contained detailed adn intelligent information about Riddick. The "Characteristics" topic, was richly detailed with all kinds of information retrieved from the movies and from the game. There also were detailed information about Riddick's behaviour, the factors that would lead him to kill or to lurk in the shadows, his weakness, notable feats, background, trivial information and even an intelligent article comparing Riddick's behaviour to a predatorial behaviour
I wish to know why all that information has suddently vanished or have been removed, and if it would be ok if I added them back into the page.
Thanks

hey... first time at this well here goes nothing...
They just might be come out with another Riddick! some one started talking about it on Moviehole.net and it was on the dirctor's web site too Riddick furyan "We are warriors, one and all. Born to defend, built to conquer. The steel we wear is the steel within ourselves, forged by the hot fires of discipline and training. We are fierce in a way no others can be.We are Marines." ( talk) 17:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Furyans arent even mentioned in Pitch Black..
As above: ...that Benton Ju or at particularly the Name "Benton Ju", amongst others, appears in EFBB in the Section, where Riddick goes for Abbott? I remember seeing, amongst many other Names, the plague on one of the Guard's Quarters reads "Benton Ju". From what I understand, Benton Ju was killed BEFORE Riddick came to Butchers, from where he escaped to the Ice-Planet and from there the Story of "Chronicles" started... goof? Programmer's spoof?

The name Benton Ju is maybe not unique?--TeakHoken 91.33.2.144 ( talk) 16:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
May be, but still, he killed Ju and is/was wanted for the Murder of Ju and then possibly killed ANOTHER one while stalking around the quarters in the Bay? Oh well, I'll just keep imagineing it being a easteregg thing then. BenBulletDodger ( talk) 11:58, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
"he has been known to use anything from pistols, rifles, platypi,..." really? With a platypus? How? When? Why?--TeakHoken 91.33.2.144 ( talk) 16:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Lol, wondering about that too :/ BenBulletDodger ( talk) 11:55, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
it's talking about how Riddick didn't REALLY intend to elave the survivors behind and how he's not REALLY a psyhopathic killer and such. In Pitch Black it is stated that Riddick is a homicidal serial killer.~~
