** It's possible that said bounty condition was made when they heard that Riddick became the leader of the Necromongers, pretty much the scariest badass army in the universe, who had been known to wipe out star-systems, they probably wanted to kill him because of the risk him being the leader was, and they might be able to broker a deal under the whole "keep what you kill" mentality of the Necromongers.

** It also sets up a good case of KickTheDog for Santana. He might of gotten away with just being a JerkAss in the film, but having him shoot an unarmed woman in the back after promising her freedom sets it up so that when he eventually gets his, no one is going to mourn the AssholeVictim. At least the mercs with Johns and Luna were a little more stable and less back-stabby.

** Seeing that he was a murderous a-hole to the woman he let go to send a message to Riddick, it's safe to say that if he had succeeded in raping Dahl, he seems likely he would have killed her to keep her quiet and make it look like Riddick did it. As to if Johns would see through Santanna's lie is hard to know for certain.

** The extended scenes and ending of the Director's Cut elaborate on that, showing that Krone was in it on his own (and with his goons) to kill Riddick. He mentions that the Necromongers should never allow outsiders like Riddick, or merciful souls like Vaako, showing that Vaako didn't care to kill Riddick. He could tell that Riddick didn't give a damn about being a Necromonger, and that made it easy to tempt him with the location Furya to get him out of the fleet. He gave false coordinates, but all he wanted was Riddick gone, so that he could continue the journey to Underverse and attain "transcendence" and become an undead Lord Marshall like in the previous film.

** There may be jurisdictions where bounty hunters are ''only'' allowed to go if they're seeking to bring people in alive. By claiming they're pursuing the "Alive" side of the contract, they can search those areas for Riddick and then kill him "in self-defense" if they find him. Or just haul him off alive and shoot him the instant they're out of that jurisdiction.

* In the beginning Riddick splints his broken leg with the pieces of his armor. However, he fixes the plates onto his leg with spikes he drills into his flesh. Then later he is seen limping with that leg. How is it possible that that kind of flesh-fixed splint is able to keep itself together without those spikes ripping off from his flesh? The whole point of having a skeleton is that the flesh is too soft and stretchy to support a grown man's weight. Even if Riddick could handle the pain of such a setup, the flesh itself has too much give to fix those spikes securely enough. There would be so much movement with every step that they would come loose in no time. Maybe those spikes were supposed to be drilled all the way to the bone, but they didn't seem long enough for that.

** The actual reason may be simpler: When Santana is trying to persuade Johnns' crew that there's no reason to land, he refers to his crew being (part of) a clan. Luna's probably on the crew because he's part of the (extended) family.

*** That's partially how [[Tropers/CurledUpWithDakka I]] took it. Whoever set the contract wanted Riddick ''at all'', preferably dead (as indicated by the pricing); however, if 'circumstances' dictated that Riddick was alive (e.g. get him into the ship to kill him, set on autopilot, running battle until ship arrives, Riddick is presented alive to the contractor), then whoever brought him in would still get something for the trouble. Not as much, since the contractor now has to deal with a pissed Riddick...

*** That was different. In Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick is essentially a nobody to the majority of Necromongers. The Lord Marshall was concerned because of the prophesy (which considering he had at least one Furian in his army he clearly doesn't take but so seriously) by this point Riddick IS the Lord Marshall. The man who "killed" him presumably went home and claimed the title of Lord Marshall for himself in keeping with the you Keep what you Kill code. As mentioned above it's probably a high crime to claim a kill that isn't yours or didn't happen especially if said kill elevates you to the rank of Lord Marshall.
