I wonder if the Riddick franchise has generated any toys and games?
I suppose they're not really for kids are they.
Riddick's on my mind as I recently re-caught Riddick, the third film, on Netflix. I really enjoyed it once again and find the Furyan mythos quite enthralling.
The ships in the flick appeal to me too, beaten up and clunky like escaped machines from some mad ironmongers.
I'm now keen to re-see the other two films too; The Chronicles of Riddick with those pesky Necromongers and Pitch Black, where it all began for the forthright man from Furya.
I honestly think Vin Diesel was born for the role.
Do you have a favourite Riddick film readers?
No. Fast and Furious.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Fast and Furya surely Khusru!
DeleteIn order of preference 1,3,2.
ReplyDeletePitch Black has wonderful beasties that go bump in the night, and, of course, Claudia Black (Farscape, last season of Stargate) is in it too! I think this is the first film I bought on DVD.
Riddick is fun to watch too, but
its a bit too similar to PB for me. Good comedy in places and the delightful Katee Sackhoff (BSG reboot) kicks ass.
Chronicles of Riddick is too much style over substance. Blew the budget on sfx and Judy Dench. Never mind, its worth watching just for the prison-break.
There is supposed to be a fourth movie in development. Yes please, gimmee more of Riddick.
Ooh, a 4th one? Count me in Timmy. Just thought of a gag: what noise doe the toughest frog with the piercing eyes in the pond make? Yep, rid....!
