Awesome / Pitch Black

• "You do NOT know WHO you are fucking with!"
• "We can't leave..." *aliens approach the ship from the rear* "...Without saying goodnight."
  • Riddick then fires ship's thrusters, incinerating the aliens behind them and ramming the ones in front of them.
• This bit is totally awesome.
  Johns: How's it look?
  Riddick: Looks clear.
  (Johns takes a step forward, and a creature flies out towards them. They duck and it flies into the night)
  Johns: I thought you said it was clear!
  Riddick: (shrug) I said it looks clear.
  Johns: Well, what does it look like now?
  Riddick: (looks again, then deadpan) Looks clear.
• Riddick manages to kill one of the big aliens with nothing but a dagger and sheer badassery.
  Riddick: (covered in blood, staring at its corpse) Did not know who it was fuckin' with.
• Riddick deducing how to remain "invisible" to the bioraptor by staying close, yet remaining within its echolocation's blind spot. And then fluidly and precisely moving side to side, in perfect sync with it, so it can't detect him mere inches away as it scans back and forth.
• Fry all out assaulting Riddick instead of abandoning Jack and Imam and screaming that she is the captain and he had to follow orders. Her bravery actually changes his mind because it impressed him, which is a pretty damn hard thing to do.
• Riddick vs. Johns. Made more awesome by Riddick's badass comments as the light fades and the cowardly Johns scrambles for his gun.
  • A particular moment during the fight comes when Johns is able to trap Riddick's arm and reverse his elbow. Riddick shoves him off and resets it with barely a grunt.
  • Even earlier, when Riddick is still in chains and Johns has a shotgun pointed at his head!
  Riddick: Ghost me, motherfucker. That's what I'd do to you.
• Hell, even Paris gets one in the end. Surrounded by creatures, realizing that he'll never even see Paris, let alone live out his plan of dying there, his final act is one last recital of his Booze Flamethrower party trick as a dying 'fuck you' to the things surrounding him. Arguably made all the more awesome by his being a regular decidedly non-action guy with not much in the way of courage to work with.
  • What makes this braver still is remembering that he actually let himself see what was going to kill him. That takes some guts when he could have curled up and gotten on with the screaming.
