The story takes place between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.After escaping Hades, Riddick, Jack, and Imam are picked up by a transport vessel. They soon discover that it's a mercenary ship. Riddick attempts to disguise himself as William J. Jones but his guise undone by voice recognition technology and the trio are captured. They plan to hand Riddick over to the ship's owner Antonia Chillingsworth, who intends to add him to her "collection".

All There in the Script: The villainness played by Tress MacNeille is never named in dialogue. The credits list her as Chillingsworth, but you have to watch the bonus features to learn that her first name is Antonia.

Why Am I Ticking?: Riddick has a small bomb implanted into his neck by the mercs to control him. During the big fight scene he cuts it out with a knife and throws the activated bomb at his captors. Bad ass.

Human Popsicle: The mercenary ship could be described as one big freezer for mercs and captured people. "Statues" made by Antonia are also this. It's a much more complicated process that delays people's movement to the point that blinking an eye takes a day.

Action Survivor: Jack and Imam are woefully inadequate to defend themselves against the ship full of killers and monsters. They survive on a basis of luck, hiding and Riddick's protection. Then subverted in the end, when Jack kills Antonia. Even Riddick is shocked.

The Dragon: Junner serves Chillingsworth as her second-in-command, with Riddick quickly identifying him as her lap dog. As with the traditional definition, he's also a much bigger physical threat than his master.

We Have Reserves: Junner apologizes to Antonia that he allowed Riddick to kill a lot of mercs in his capture. Antonia shrugs off the loss, stating how little they mean to her and ordering Junner to unfreeze more mooks. Later on she unleashes a huge carnivorous monster after sending a team of mercs after Riddick, even though it has a habit of killing people indiscriminately and indeed ends up eating them.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: Inverted. It's not important how many guns are pointed in Riddick's direction. It's a matter of time before he will deal with shooters using a knife. Or bare hands.

The Future Is Noir: True to Riddick form, the film gives off this vibe, with deep shadows to offset the bright colors and some scenes taking place in utter darkness (not to mention the morally ambiguous or even depraved characters, plenty of shocking violence, and sharp-tongued banter).

Brick Joke: Since Riddick's movies are infamous for having these (some being better than others), it's only appropriate that this movie have one as well. Cue the scene where Riddick tells Junner that the next time they meet, he's going to "stick this [sharp object] in his eye.". Then cue a fight scene later on that ends in him doing just that.
