12 Obscure And Fascinating Facts About Riddick Franchise - Vin Diesel’s Cult Classic Masterpiece

[@theresiasingleton7055]

Oh, hell yess! I can't wait! I was never a fan of The Fast And Furious franchise but, I'm a diehard Riddick fan. I will actually get out to go watch this movie when it comes out.

[@jeff3149]

Yeah me to and I love the xxx and fast & furious franchise something I enjoy

[@MKPwrz]

HUGE Riddick fan too

[@ladyraven30]

We need a sequel to riddick asap. Riddick has definitely earned his cult status.

[@corywilliams2255]

People seem to overlook the animated Riddick movie DARK FURY, the art of which had a very AEON FLUX (the MTV series) look and feel to it.

[@maccurtis730]

I like that movie alot.

[@jaquigreenlees]

Specially as it is the Official story between the events of Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick that explains a lot of the interactions between Riddick and Tombs and the first conversation between Jack and Riddick in Crematoria.

[@kokumalamoi3421]

Bold of you, to assume! It's beautifull. - People, if you haven't seen in yet, go see it.

[@redspecial4102]

Yeah, that was a good way to link the first & second movies.

[@j.sargenthill9773]

there was a game that was really good as well, I think it was escape from butcher bay

[@williewhite1161]

I have never watched any of the Furious movies before, but l absolutely love the Riddick movies as well as the character himself. Hopefully Diesel will make more sequels before he gets too old to play the role, the same way that Snipes has gotten too old to continue his Blade movies. But...l love both franchises and both characters, and l am always comparing the 2 iconic characters.

[@lucienfury2606]

Don't wast your time or brain power on them! They suck compared to the Riddick movies!

[@intorsusvolo7834]

I watched Chronicles every year.

[@teresakirkland995]

Pitch Black and sequels quickly became my fave series strictly because of Riddick being Vin Diesel! His portrayal of that character was epic!!

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

Saw Pitch Black with my grandpa as a kid, prolly 10-11 or so. It scared the hell out of me, but I became obsessed with Riddick as a character after that. That movie had a pretty effect on me honestly

[@metalacop]

I've always loved Chronicles (part 2) I thought it was such a deep story with the necromancers and multiverse etc. It wasn't only Riddick vs aliens. All other characters were great. Kind of reminded me of Dune. An epic.

[@francischambless5919]

Right there with ya. Maybe I'm terrible at understanding the whole story of Chronicles, but I walked away thinking that if you had received the mark of purification to be a necromonger, when you died you'd be reborn in the Underverse. So it made sense to me that when Jack (Keera) died, all Riddick needed to do was die himself and he'd enter another strange and crazy universe to try and rescue her and then find a way back. I mean, the Lord Marshal went there and came back, because that's how he got the powers of speed he used, right?

[@emanuelferreira6875]

Love the franchise. Hope for a new movie

[@jimcooper4578]

a friend of mine made the blades for the bone and stone folding sword in the third movie he had to make two because vin diesel had to have one of his own.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

Nice

[@yammz1181]

I love this franchise so much I wouldn't at all be upset if they made an HBO series or something I'd love to see this in an episodic format in an episode of format more riddick more aliens what's not to love

[@MKF30]

Glad they're making a Riddick 4 that Vin confirmed months ago on twitter, just hope we get it soon. I'm tired of the F&F franchise, but Riddick is where it's at!

[@R-Chillz]

Definitely tired of the F&F series 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@hoodiek6802]

Oh he confirmed it I'm glad I was waiting for Riddick sequel

[@anthonyzellner440]

I remember meeting Vin when I was 12 I was a big fan of pitch black and iron giant and he asked my parents if it was okay to hang out with me for a bit and talk and he asked me if he should do a sequel to pitch black and i of course said yes! He is one of the nicest celebrities ever super cool dude I got a nice photo with him and hung out with him for like 30 mins

[@tatsumaki8738]

thats a cool story

[@stevekeithley8409]

The second Riddick movie was fantastic. You could really see the larger budget in the end product. So sorry that they lost a lot of money on it. I would love to see a fourth movie of that caliber. The second was on a larger canvas like the Star Wars movies.

[@p_campbell]

I haven't been to a movie in a theater since 2019. If Riddick Furia comes out I'm there no question. 🤠

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Chronicles of Riddick is my favourite film in the franchise. Riddick is a mix of John Rambo. Snake Plissken and Conan the Barbarian.

[@brettbradshaw3297]

Looking forward to Riddick 4.

[@evilalex87]

Love the riddick Films, cool unique world

[@MrDaveinnocent]

Love these three movies. I can't count how many times I've seen them. I play them to sleep, in the background while I work or just to watch again.

[@primemac3dstudio18]

I have seen them all more than once. The best part is you can watch it again and the story line just pulls you in. Now that is a movie worth watching. If they do make another one it is clear it will have to be a story that has another growth to not only the story line but also the character as well. The path of the next even could even dig a bit deeper into how lucky he really is. The best way to test that is something that not only has to be incredibly lucky but in such a way that just not only blows the fans minds but even the people around him. We have only seen a taste of this luck skill I would say. More is always welcome.

[@Kas58223]

I loved the Riddick movies I hope he puts the fast and furious to bed and concentrate on Riddick movies the dark tone pitch black, even the animated movie they did was enjoyable

[@britneyzamora9859]

Can we please start acknowledging Dark Fury as part of the franchise? It provides some serious background for chronicles. Plus, it's visually stunning so there's that.

[@SoundChristianMusic]

Riddick is great, and I love that its underrated. Riddick (2013) is such a great follow-up to Chronicles of Riddick, I would like to see him get revenge on the Necromongers and finally find out the mysteries of Furya.

[@jacara1981]

I think Fast and the Furious suffers from the same things Michael Bay experienced with Transformers. Bay said that he wanted to stop, but people kept showing up for them, and the studio kept throwing vast amount of money at him. I think the same is happening with FF.

[@aedwardsss]

I was playing the game Magic the Gathering when the movie Pitch Black came out, I immediately saw a likeness with the slivers, which were already terrifying monsters. Naturally this made them even more scary to me, and made the movie more enjoyable.

[@skywolf2012]

It's the rated R starwars for sci-fi fans ,hope he makes a big deal with Netflix, hulu, or Apple. GO VIN 🇺🇸

[@zacharyjochumsen9677]

Skywolf gbm hopefully vin can get riddick new instsllmrmts finy hopping now ithin fast and furious is going go di off csind both psul Walker is long since. Dead and Dwayne Johnson is gone from the franchise

[@vergessen5971]

Chill with that I love riddick but can not be compared to 1-6 Star Wars lol

[@julpikorjulpikor6530]

I have a genuine liking for watching sci-fi movies, one of which is this fantastic movie, Riddick. I can't bear to wait Riddick 4.

[@soulreaver1983]

Awesome movie franchise 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tankprohp]

If we're getting another sequel to Riddick keep going this franchise the story of the world you have so many more movies to do Vin we all wish you the best can't wait to see what you come up with please make another CGI short film animation was probably my favorite jack's first kill and the origin story for tombs

[@kokumalamoi3421]

YEEESSSS!!!! A new Riddick, finally! I'm so looking forward to this!!!

[@francischambless5919]

I don't understand why he'd go to Furia. It's a destroyed world that the Necromongers wiped out. No one has ever really engaged me on my thoughts but I'll try again. After Chronicles, I thought the stage was set for Riddick to enter the Universe that the Lord Marshal went to, the Underverse, which was the place he got his speed powers. They mentioned that after you got the mark of Purification, the only thing you had to do was die to cross that threshold. The whole conquest the Necromongers were up to was to wipe out life and bring everyone they could to this other Verse. So when Jack (Kira? Kera?) died, I was expecting Riddick to come to realize this revelation, die himself, go to the Underverse, fight whatever insane alien stuff there, rescue Jack, then find a way to return. I thought this would have made a freaking amazing conclusion to the Necromongers.

[@MKPwrz]

Huge riddick fan and my favourite one was chronicles, because I loved the expanded Universe.

[@jamesdenny4734]

This fan minds waiting... I need my new Riddick movie fix now... I'm just a junkie child... help me Vin !

[@andrewinglis2069]

Never watched fast and furious but love the riddick films and would love more

[@scarlettardis2018]

Oh hell yes! Vin Diesel is awesome! Cannot wait!

[@littleboo2002]

I never heard the films until I met my bf, 10 years ago. I have been a big fan of Riddick ever since. I love the characters and the world so much. I'm shocked the second one didn't do so well in theatres, its my favourite of the three. So excited for a 4th one.

[@warlocksdontdie]

the most underrated sci-fi series of all time

[@thomasautomall]

Pitch Black was a nice surprise, but Vin is a total head case. His need for control and lack of professionalism keeps him from creating any new success outside of Fast which also sucks.

[@matnels277]

My old man took me to the movies to see pitch black when I was a boy and we were blown away by vin diesel. Never lived up to what we thought would become of him. I can't stand Dom but I love Riddick.

[@leroyreed1215]

I am here for a part 4 loved all 3

[@andrewexum394]

Pitch black is how I found out about vin diesel. My fav ever since.

[@TridentSlayz]

Always liked Riddick some of the best movies Vin has been in.

[@zubbworks]

Great movies. They leave you wanting to know more about their world.

[@Franko384]

Definitely hyped, that a fourth movie is on its way.

[@wej0w]

This Film franchise is quite underrated and under the radar if you ask me. I think its partly how Vin Diesel is mostly viewed (no offense) as a no brainer action flick actor, myself included.

[@scottmantooth8785]

*the Riddick game Escape from Butcher's Bay is very good at filling in some of the back story as to how he got the shine job on his eyes*

[@michaelriddick7116]

He's done pretty well with the name ;)

[@jwwilliams5407]

Never thought I would see the day of another movie

[@nathank3976]

Disappointed that you didn't mention the games based on Pitch Black. Riddick - Escape form Butcher Bay.

[@BuckyKat9999]

Awesome films and cannot wait for the new one! The games are pretty good too, well worth a play and hold up even today

[@djoneforever]

Can’t wait for the next episode!!!

[@everythingbodyweight7012]

Great video, absolutely enjoyed it like most of your videos. I wasn't much of a Riddick fan but this has made me like and appreciate it more.

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@kazmickopa241]

I played a Xbox Riddick game, forgot exactly what it was called I just know it starts by walking you into a prison accompanied by guards & your able to look around at other inmates, that was a solid game, unlike any game I played prior & the movies are solid.

[@stephenmeinhold5452]

vin diesel is Riddick like Rayan renolds is deadpool, our vin gets a raw deal, his acting talents may not be top of the tree but he gives it everything he has got, i am very happy that there is a new movie coming out.

[@Mord12gp]

Riddick 4? Ok, things we need: a new crew of awakened Furians, a badass girl to bare Riddick kids, and Riddick being awesome. And maybe some cautulllu stuff from the Underverse place.

[@animelover4868]

I've always liked Vin Diesel as an actor, but now I'm not so sure it's all about money to him. I traded the second film for the first one, little crazy I know, lol. Just something so special about it and now I know what, lol. Can't wait to see the next installment!

[@maundamartin59]

Vin Diesel PUT HIMSELF ON THE MAP.....with hard work being a known unknown on boiler room.

[@Kalebfenoir]

Always liked the Riddick movies. I do think that would be an interesting addition to his background as a character; that he joined military service for some world or some sector, and then just could not deal with either the rules, or when something REALLY war-crime-y happened, and took action against it, which ended him up in a triple-max as a coverup. And then he just...did his own thing after that.

[@evillovekitty]

Always wanted my eyes shined like Riddick'.

[@alecbaker13]

Riddick 4 will be badass

[@rays2870]

it would be nice to have a backstory to the settlers/miners of the first riddick movie. a movie or a mini series perhaps.

[@oonwing]

I know Fast and Furious, and xXx.....for me Riddick!!!! I hope he honestly does more!!!!

[@redpapa859]

Undeniable truth if Vin Diesel is a part of a franchise he will run it into the ground

[@professorx3141]

A 4th film. Hell yes let's goooo!

The music from the Power Rangers movie was awesome

[@shogenx]

id really love a third riddick game, the original engine still looks fantastic

[@jarnMod]

I really like the 1st one. The 2nd was meh. The 3rd one was great as well. Can't wait for the next. If Vin takes this as his passion project, I'm sure he'd not allow anyone to mess it up

[@Colin13ify]

Back in the day the video game Riddick: escape from butcher bay was pretty cool for a movie based on a movie.

[@deep-fried-zombie699]

pitch black is a fantastic movie

[@TheMastaDazza]

This is a really well made video. I knew Van Diesel had the rights to Riddick but never realised why. He should Fuck the Fast franchise off now and just concentrate on making more Riddick films. The second film might not have done well at the box office but fuck the box office coz that film is sick! I'm already making plans to take my mates to watch this fourth Riddick movie along with any more that he makes. Easily the best action hero ever!

[@dlvnmedia]

We need to make mention of Mr Revells amazing band back in the day SPK. Which is very noisy but so good
