* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: It all started with the 2000 film ''Film/PitchBlack''. This was followed by a sequel titled ''Film/{{The Chronicles of Riddick|2004}}'' in 2004 and an accompanying video game and animated special subtitled ''VideoGame/EscapeFromButcherBay'' and ''WesternAnimation/DarkFury'', respectively. A second video game subtitled ''VideoGame/AssaultOnDarkAthena'' was released in 2009. All other entries aside from the second film at least style themselves as "The Chronicles of Riddick: Title of Entry", even ''Pitch Black'' retroactively. This is set to be followed by a third theatrical film in 2013 simply called ''Film/{{Riddick}}''. Word is still out on how this will play out, since it has also been called ''The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking'' by the creators.

* GenreRoulette: ''Pitch Black'' was Horror-Action/Character drama in a completely ScienceFiction world. ''The Chronicles Of Riddick'' is [[LowFantasy Low]] HeroicFantasy with a smattering of science fiction among the story. ''Riddick'' is a SpaceWestern Action with elements from the previous films. Overall this places the franchise in a very dark SpaceFantasy universe.

* ExpansionPackWorldExpansionPackWorld: Initially ''Pitch Black'' placed itself in a distant UsedFuture with a strong focus on ScienceFiction. It was expanded to reveal far more fantasy elements, explored how there were ''several'' planets just for being prisons, and other races of evolved humans such as Elementals and Necromongers.

* RetCon: Riddick's status as a Furyan. In the first film he was just a particularly tough, but still very human escaped convict who got a surgical procedure from a doctor in prison to allow him to see in the dark. In the sequels, he's rewritten to be a ProudWarriorRaceGuy from the extinct Furyans, and the "shinejob" on his eyes was supernaturally bestowed on him by the vision of a dead Furyan woman. All these are things which Riddick dismisses in the moment as hallucinations, attributing his abilities to other more mundane sources (hence why he "discovers" the truth of his heritage in ''Chronicles'' despite benefiting from it earlier.)

* ScienceFantasy: The series shifted into this with the second film. ''Pitch Black'' was fairly hard sci-fi, but ''Riddick 2'' introduces superhuman warriors on a holy crusade led by an EvilOverlord, elemental alien seers, and a prophecy saying that Riddick (now the last living member of an extinct {{Proud Warrior Race|Guy}} destroyed by the Overlord) will be the one to kill the Necromonger leader. It still comes off as a strange mix with LowFantasy, as the harder elements are still present in every scene that doesn't involve the Necros.

This makes more sense instead of Vin Diesel's face.

* TranshumanAliens: None of the different races seen in the films are "aliens", though there are human cultures that ''significantly'' diverged from the baseline on different planets due to their circumstances and philosophies:
** The Furyans settled on a hell world and focused on combat, refining them into peak warriors.
** The Elementals focused on intellectual pursuits, i.e. Platonic philosophy, until they attained near-magical powers. They can't "see" the future but they can ''calculate'' quite accurate predictions. Air Elementals are semi-translucent and can apparently "glide" fairly well.
** The Necromongers are a militant crusade of death-worshiping zealots. Part of their indoctrination process involves using a pair of torture device needles on their necks which destroys their physical ability to feel pain. Some of them just walk around with daggers stabbed into them in previous fights ''still'' sticking out of their bodies, as a display of prowess. Their focus on ''extreme'' asceticism (to the point of near-death) also gives some of their castes psychic powers.
