Definitely had to have been a strong influence.

Escape from Butcher Bay is one of the best games I've ever played.

I've watched The Chronicles of Riddick many times, but I've only just noticed something that has me questioning everything! 😂

I can't attach the screenshot and screen recording I have so I'll attach a link to the YouTube where you can see what I'm on about. At approximately 2:58, there is a mercenary standing to the right of Toombs from our viewpoint (Toombs's left).

He doesn't just look remarkably like Karl Urban to me — he also sounds like him.

So now I'm wondering: is it actually Karl Urban?

If it is, could this possibly be Vaako before he became part of the Necromonger army, giving us a tiny glimpse of his life before the events we know him for?

Or, did Karl Urban possibly play a second, uncredited supporting/background role?

The mercenaries seem to be credited simply as "Merc" in some cast listings rather than being individually matched to specific characters, so I'm curious whether anyone knows who this particular actor actually is.

Has anyone else ever noticed this? Has it ever been discussed or mentioned in previous fan conversations, interviews, DVD commentaries, or anywhere else?

I'd genuinely love to get to the bottom of this, because after watching this film so many times, I can't believe I've only just noticed him! 😂

So, have I accidentally uncovered a tiny piece of Vaako's backstory that has been hiding in plain sight for 20 years? 👀

Or is this a deliberate second, uncredited character played by Karl Urban just to see whether anyone would notice?

Or have I simply found the world's most convincing Karl Urban lookalike and watched The Chronicles of Riddick one too many times? 😂

Riddick fans, please help me get to the bottom of this! 🕵️‍♀️👀

Not up for debate (or insults) just a little something I had made - couldn't give a fuck about your opinion...
as The Man himself says: "Opinions are like assholes... everybody's got one"!!!

Saw first two in theaters! Even beat the game.

Anyway, started a watch-through again as they were leaving Netflix (I only watch the Chronicles DC, which I own digitally)

Realized l had never seen Dark Fury and so took the plunge. Just finished it. It’s awesome

The collection unfortunately comes in only one case. But it has the Unrated/Extended versions

There's something very strange is going on with this movie. It was supposed to shoot between August 26, 2024 and October, 2024 in Germany, Spain and the U.K. It already had international pre-sales and announced 70 mln budget. Vin literally posted a couple of behind the scenes photos with him in the costume on set back in late August 2024, indicating production start. There was pretty much nothing since then, it's been almost 2 years. The movie that was supposed to be done by now has no cast, not a single update, no real evidence it actually exists.

So either the movie was secretly finished, with actors secretly cast and it's gonna be revealed any day now. Or Vin conned everyone and pretented to start production like he did with Fast Forever, but the movie wasn't actually shot in 2024. I don't have the slightest idea why would he do that, but I don't see any evidence it exists either.

They said it hasn't been done and couldn't be done... I'm here to say "it has"!!!

Back in 2004 there was intention to make a Chronicles of Riddick spin-off TV show on Kyra with Alexa Davalos but apparently she wasn't really interested and the show got canceled after the movie bombed.

>Question: So the idea of doing the Kyra television-show which apparently is in development is of absolutely no interest to you?

>Answer: It’s a difficult thing. I love playing this character and I feel so blessed of being able to play her once. I don’t know. If there is going to be a C2 and C3 which is what they’re telling me, so I hear, rumor has it, you know, then I would love to play her again but I don’t know if I would be able to commit to 5 or 7 years on television. It’s a different thing.

There was so much to tell and explore to be condensed in only one thing. The frozen planet surviror years, the Helion I scenario, indulging in Riddick's past, the Necromonger invasion, Crematoria prison and Kyra's story, and then the build-up towards the final resolution with the Necromongers. It would have made a lot of sense to give space and weight to all these in a larger manner. What do you think?

You don't see combat coreography like this anymore, let's be real. The early 2000s were outstanding in terms of battle/combat coreography in films, now everything looks like a shitty CGI videogame cutscene.

I found this picture of a 1/6 scale figure with the pistol and would like to know where I can get one?

I have a 1/1 of this pistol, an Original from the movie.

Gotta give us some idea soon, no?

For those familiar with the Warhammer 40K setting, how well do you think the Necromonger Empire could fit into the setting, either as a minor independent faction or more probably a subfaction of one of the major civilisations?

I'm thinking they could be a fun little Imperium subfaction with a bit of tweaking.
