* SlobsVersusSnobs: The difference between the first and second bounty hunters. Santana's group is a bunch of rough and rowdy types, while Boss Johns's group are professional and wear matching uniforms.

* SpaceWestern: Is more similar to this, unlike the SciFiHorror of the first film and the SpaceFantasy of the second film. After being left for dead on a hostile world, Riddick uses the fact that he's still a wanted criminal to attract the attention of two groups of bounty hunters, who end up needing his help to fight the alien monsters that live on the planet.

Boss Johns' group even resemble police and wear badges, making them seem more official and their relationship with Santana's crew, who resemble more traditional bounty hunters, a variation of JurisdictionFriction.

Following the events of ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'', perennial badass Riddick has been betrayed by the Necromongers and left for dead on a desolate, arid planet covered in deadly monsters. His only apparent way off is to activate a beacon that will draw mercenaries to him like vultures to a corpse.

* BloodierAndGorier: Whereas ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' was pared down to a PG-13 rating for its theatrical version, this film goes the opposite way, with several extremely-gory shots (including half of a man's head being decapitated in full detail), full-frontal female nudity and constant profanity.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: The mud-scorpions have large black eyes on their pincer-tails, allowing them to aim their attacks while the rest of them is submerged, and giving these appendages a disturbingly skull-like appearance.

* AHeadAtEachEnd: More like ''part'' of a head at each end: the scorpion-creatures have eyes on their pincer-tails, but fang-filled jaws in their actual heads.

* {{Autocannibalism}}: Riddick guts a large scorpion-creature. It looks like it's going to stagger after him regardless, but decides to just eat its spilled entrails instead. Even Riddick is {{squick}}ed.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Dahl insists she doesn't "fuck guys," but later flirts with Riddick. To be fair to Dahl, her assertion that she doesn’t fuck guys was directed at the lecherous {{Jerkass}} Santana, so it’s possible she was just being facetious.
