Very few movies allow you to say the sentence "And then Vin Diesel got in a fist fight with a dinosaur."
I thought that was the premise of some of the later F&TF movies?
@@Corbomite_Meatballs well he fights the Rock in one...
@@TheOmegaXicor hes not a dinosaur guy
Yep. Sadly. (Hollywood, you listening?)
And no, the rock doesn't count, since he's likely an igneous deposit vs a prehistoric reptile.

What?
Explain pls
@@paulrichardson2554 Riddick wanted payback from the bioraptors so he wished them goodnight or rather a good morning. Don't wanna spoil it
Im feeling quite sorry for the investigators lost during that mission
Why did i read that in a English accent?

@@walorianfederation666 greeting from my side of the puddle :)
Viper probe droids would be well-suited to survey such a world, if the Institute could acquire some.
Really enjoying these unappreciated gems that are being covered lately. Pitch black is a great movie.
I can watch it a million times, never tire of it.
@@rpersen I didn't like this one much. The 2 following movies however I've watched them like 5 times each
@@unter5492 To each their own.
I really like the Riddick series, and I hope that universe continues to be expanded.
@Astovoc Azrro Better it ends with the trilogy. Three is the magic number for any successful movie franchise. If anyone wants to make an expanded universe. ( comics,videos,novels,etc.) That is fine. But after a third film things tend to get shitty for movies.
No one can play a better riddick than VIN.
Yes, Escape from Butcher Bay was such an amazing entry into the series
@@Fr0st1989 Yeah, the games were surprisingly good for something based off of a movie series, I wouldn't mind seeing remakes of those games, to be honest.
@@edwhatshisname3562 IIRC they were remastered not too long ago
Edit: nvm I was wrong
One of the few movie monsters that i actually found terrifying. Btw, what a perfect movie. It is like the Predator of it's generation, a pitch perfect genre movie.
You mean, "a pitch black perfect movie", right? 😜
I'll show myself to the door.... 😔
Watched Pitch Black in home video with zero knowledge of its premise, at the recommendation of my brother. One of my coolest watching experiences.
yeah one of the "first time watch is the best" movies ;)
Pitch Black honestly shines as the best movie that subverts expectations; tied for that spot with Clive Barker's Nightbreed. The people who would be the main characters in any normal horror film turn out to be flawed at best and outright evil at worst, the person who would be the antagonist in any other film turns out to be its actual, true protagonist, the characters who survive are those who you'd least expect, people who appear to be minor characters play much larger parts in the story and experience growth, and literally _anyone_ can die by the Bioraptors' claws, including children.
If it's not one of the best horror films of the 2000s alongside Saw, 28 Days Later, Dog Soldiers, House of 1000 Corpses, The Others and Gore Verbinski's remake of The Ring, it's at least one of my personal favourites.
With their young being able to withstand more sunlight, it can be a adaptation where the young act as food, being scavengers of the surface using survival of the fittest as their way to adult-hood, explains their massive numbers as young but their adults hunting in packs.
Very other-worldly, Lovecraftian, deadly but realistic. The stuff of nightmares. I absolutely loved their design.
One of the better intellectual reviews of the xenos of pitch black and the worlds of Riddick. A invaluable resource for those who fell to this lore
Huh! I keep forgetting the bioraptors head protrusions on the side aren’t eyestalks honestly. They always reminded me of hammerhead sharks. Definitely an underrated movie monster!
How much you want to bet that's an evolutionary trait meant to throw off prey that fights back?
They see your light to hunt
I need to see if the speculative biology channels covered the bioraptors because they'd probably review them negatively (in the sense of low in scientiic plausibility), so I liked that the narrator mused if they're bioweapons (their very name itself would be an indication, only a creature made by mad science would be called a bioraptor)
Also, I realized that the planet has no vegetation, which implies the bioraptors also ate everything
@@rga1605 yeah it’s an interesting theory considering them being natural is very unlikely. Maybe they were more human buildings that could have hinted at the origins of the bioraptor the movie only takes place on one small area of the planet so they could been more human research settlements possibly underground? The research base they were at looked like they knew how to get off the planet they had ship the wasn’t in total disrepair but I think that base fell because they didn’t know of the bioraptors.
Off-the-cuff hypothesis: The Chronicles of Riddick is a Distant Future of the AVP universe, and the Bioraptors are a different result of the Engineer's mutating goo.
@@ryanhawe8234 I'm sure Predators would just love hunting them. At least the twilight hours.
@@ryanhawe8234 They absolutely look like something that would exist in the Alien universe
This movie is one of my all time favorites. Perfect in sooo many ways.
Initially i did not think the Bioraptors were an invasive species. But after being reminded of their physiology it is a completely plausible theory. But if that is true i can only imagine the circumstances that would have brought them so far from whatever planet they initially called home or the environment that would have produced such predators. If any sentient species was actually intentionally transporting them across the stars. For whatever purpose they did so will probably remain a mystery for sometime.
I'm giving this a big thumbs up before I've even watched it!
The Riddick franchise has some of the best predator designs, the main protagonist being one amongst the many...
The bioraptors freaked me out the first time I saw Pitch Black, the noise they make still startles me.
I personally think it's cute it's the same noise I make into my pillow
Please cover the Necromonger empire
I think they did
They make no sense as a nation, but god DAMN if they don't have a fucking incredible look too them!
@@blackmage665 no they haven’t.
@@igncom1 They are aesthetic as fuck, even the design of their ships and how they land are cool.
Hint about the caverns on the planet: they're probably planet-wide. Because when the eclipse happens, it rains, eroding the vegetation-less surface. The long days then sear the surface, and the water, even at depth, is forced back up through intense evaporation.
Which means that the bio-raptors are planet-wide too. Scary.
I'd also imagine that if they were native to that planet, it would've been a horrifying experience for the surface life forms whenever the eclipse came. Even the massive ones would've been mercilessly pecked to pieces by what was essentially giant hungry wasps. A few cycles of this? Yeah, the bio-raptors definitely could've hunted everything else to extinction. In fact, I think it's scarier if they were a natural occurrence.
RIDDICK UNIVERSE LORE?!
HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!!
Has so much potential if Vin would just get some good writters
You know I think they’re setting up? They are going to tie in The Fast & The Furious with the whole riddick storyline. Dom will somehow become immortal and will roam a unforgiving galaxy chased by bounty hunters forced to change names to riddick finally beating the necromongers scourge become ruler.
I hope you do more from the Riddick universe, it’s a great sci fi world
I never thought the institution would do a log on these beasts (please do more Riddick lore)
Excellent choice of a topic, thank you. I love the Riddick films
6:25 I remember a theory it was about Bioraptors lived permanently Underground but a huge earthquake happen, that would explain why animals on the service was not able to survive the Bioraptors Feeding Frenzy
I don't think it was the bioraptors
I believe it was the planet's life cycle
Doing the eclipse everything grows and reproduces. The eggs wait until the next eclipse to hatch
it has a few holes in it tho first we must assume that there where no earthequakes befor hand wich could have done the same thing or any openings to the underground system second we need to know how the original specis befor the bioraptors emerged was to see if they where more passive or agreesive third we need to assume that the planet had two evolutionary lines one on the surface and one underground. this where more for speculative and intresting purposes to see if i had any thought on the theory so this is just my opinion
@@oscarandreas1431 I know the theory has some holes it is the mostly the one I mostly remember some say it was an earthquake some say it was a meteor shower it's just a theory (A Film Theory)
@@hippi0284 well theorising is fun after all
@@oscarandreas1431 I totally agree
The bioraptor design that I really like
Kinda wanna see these Bioraptor Hordes going against the Mud Demon Crawler Hordes from Escape from Butcher Bay Game & the Riddick 3 Movie. 😮
I need to re-watch Pitch Black. It is a great and under-appreciated sci-fi movie.
Some of my friends have been bugging me to run a quick RPG for them. I think adapting the plot of the movie more or less directly would make for a pretty fun one-shot survival RPG.
Only recently saw this movie, and these creatures have a pretty great look if nothing else 😊
I can see this becoming a Rick & Morty episode: the bioraptors are a linguistically sophisticated federation, but on the eclipse it's purge night in beast mode, bitches!
Very well made as usual. ^^
Thank you for All the work you put in to this
My theory is that the planet is full of extremely deep caves and that there is a biosphere that supports them down there, but they migrate up during the eclipse.
The Bioraptors always reminded me of the Yu Gi Oh monster the King of Yamimakai
I really think there was a predator on this planet that only hunted bioraptors keeping their numbers low ...my guess is they got wiped out over a rather short time maybe humans did it or maybe it was due to the environment changing either way it resulted in an ecological imbalance resulting in what we saw in the movie .
What I call post-garden world. Eventually all planets with life will die out slowly from constant evolutionary changes.
*Snaps neck*
"Did not know who he was fucking with."
Richard B. Riddick
Close but these came from Pitch Black... Which deserves a SERIOUS Prequel leading into this franchise. To tell us what happened an how. Not bad though. Wonder if we'll ever see these again for any reason in THIS franchise
Pitch Black is part of the Chronicles of Riddick series. Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black
@@auklon3372 true BUT was referring to the series title of this Video when mentioned that. Of which "Chronicles.." is the sequel. Featuring the Necros. While THESE we're in the original "Pitch Black".
@@robertagu5533 the second one is only called Chronicles of RIDDICK. But the title would still be correct considering all the titles begin with Chronicles of Riddick. As he could be just be referring to the actual series rather than just singling out the individual movie.
Truly a great creature design, with some obvious Wayne Barlow influence.
This was a very good video.! Keep up the good work.
*Can Templin Please cover the Graboids from Tremors in a future Beastiary entry? Burt Gummer would make a neat Dossier entry too!*
Loved this simple yet good movie!
If we're investigating beasties now, how about we send a team to Perfection, Nevada? (Tremors movies, and the tv series)
One of the Aliens I got chills
So what you're saying if you could capture a few hundred of these things and release on an enemy planet you could effectively destroy your enemies without losing troops to enemy fire. Interesting 🤔.
Excellent video as usual.
Love the Riddick franchise. Vid on the man himself? Or the Necromongers?
The creatures are never named Bioraptors in any source, this is simply the name fans of the series have adopted over the years. The creatures were only named as "Predators" during the production.
That's cool, I can ignore it then because it's a bit of a silly name...
It ain't me you got to worry about now. Riddick.
I love these movie creature videos. If you are looking for something for the christmas season, consider Rare Exports.
All these weaknesses makes it difficult to believe they were able to survive, let alone eradicate everything else on the planet.
What are "all these weaknesses" lmao they're just extremely sensitive to light. Everything else wouldn't apply when theyre up against other unintelligent animals
Thanks for another great lesson.
I agree the blue slugs are probably the larvae of the biorapters
Would love to see more Riddick lore from the Templin Institute!
While the investigators were in that dimension did they by any chance write a dossier for one Richard B. Riddick?
Always think of the funhaus demo disk play through when people mention Riddick
If they were active underground their flight and long range sight would have devolved. Especially ones that were born and raised underground. A single species might even diverge from itself based on surface born or underground born. Some could look like bioraptors while others would look like mole rats. So it seems evident that they hibernate and their birthing cycle must be completed before the eclipse ends otherwise the devolution would occur. It’s also possibly we’re seeing them mid devolution while they’re still capable of flight. It’s also unlikely they’d be so large. A bear can eat up to 200k berries a day. Including fish and other foods. The calories needed to be that size is immense. If only the small get eaten. None would get bigger than is convenient to fit underground and also still capable of flight. Both of those thing become much more difficult with size.
Get the space marine to sort them out.
I'm pretty sure it's just that the eclipse is a new event, hence the evolutionary advantage of the bioraotors turning them into an unstoppable extinction machine.
I kind of like to see a Disney villain on this series like Malifcent or Jafar
Now we need a Dossier episode for Richard B. Riddick
I think eclipses are a relatively new event (geologically speaking), so the bioraptors evolved underground. Probably feeding on the animals that lived on the border between the light n dark. as the caves would be an otherwise unused nich. Then when the solar eclipses started happening, the bioraptors could get out of the caves and rapidly consume a lot of the animal life on the planet. the animals would have 22 years to recover, which should be plenty. Still, the repeated attacks slowly whittled the populations down to nothing. This doesn't explain where the plants went, though? so I guess with the animals dead, the plants didn't have enough co2(or whatever equivalent they use) and died off that way? Either that or the burning bioraptor corpses were toxic to the plants somehow.
I think for Halloween Micheal Myers or Jason would be a good episode.
Not Chronicles of Riddick that silliness must be forgotten! It is Pitch Black or nothing thank you! 🤣🤣
I gotta wonder how those things survived on a basically dead planet for any amount of time. The only thing they have to eat, is each other, so how do they have such a huge amount of biomass on that planet?
They would make sense as a leftover bioweapon, the sunlight vulnerability is really weird so that enemies wouldn't know about it, but it could be used on the night-side of any world. They would then burrow underground and hibernate during each day.
Terrific, and surprisingly low-budget movie. Kinda thought the bio-raptors must be constrained to one part of the planet though. If they destroyed every other species, there'd be no vegetation to produce oxygen, although it could be the movie is set in the final ecological collapse of the planet.
So the planet in question is likely a moon of that super-jupiter gas giant we see. Moons, if they become unstable due to a significant gravitational upset (a passing planetesimal or something akin) can cause them to start spiraling into their mother planet across tens of thousands or millions of years. Those same shifting gravitational forces can upset tectonic action leading to the exposure of these tunnels. The bioraptors' existence underground could be signs of an entire ecological process that is occurring in the subterranean features which supports a massive amount of diversity, and the upset orbit could lead to the surface becoming more uninhabitable. Higher exposure to UV radiation due to a slowed orbit could have cooked most of what was left on the surface. With the cave systems suddenly exposed, the bioraptors simply cleaned up what was left after the radiation.
Speaking as someone who studies exoplanets and their atmospheres professionally, it actually would take a long, long time--on the order of millions of years--for the atmosphere of an Earth-like planet to become oxygen-depleted in the absence of plants.
Just another day dealing with the supernatural
How many people died trying to catch a Bioraptor, one simply does not think about.
Yeah, we need a Dossier video on Riddick soon.
You should do a video covering the New Vegas Strip
The bioraptors could be a mating stage.
This feels like a know off of the xenomorph
Thank you the Video and the English subtitle.
Biorapters are discount Xenomorphs
no, you're thinking of the DECOYS aliens
Riddick is o e badass Fieryan.
Flamer squad.
What would you say to some classic cartoons from the 80s and 90s? Like Street Sharks, He-Man, Skeleton Warriors, Visionaries Knights of the Magical Light?
Right. I forgot this species existed. Slate this world to be labeled as Death World.
There's a similar amphibious species in the Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes book Legacy of Heorot (1987).
Be a good enemy for biohazard, I mean resident evil.
They remind me of the Slivers from Magic: The Gathering.
Can make an story explanation of the rebel army from metal slug series next time if you have time to think of it.
Kinda wonder if bioraptors aren’t native to the planet they were found on. The conditions they’re adapted to only exist once every 22 years.
They have to be an invasive species most ecosystems work towards a system of balance no one species can gained such a self destructive edge as this.
i read somewhere that the Bioraptors were brought to the planet by one of the miners as a pet and didnt realize the are an invasive species iunno this might be correct or not but interesting none the less
Just imagine a battle between this creatures and xenomoprhs.
"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?"
the light, it hurts my eyes
Bioraptors don't have Friends, They got Family.
According to the cast, they called them shivs.
One of the coolest Creatures in SciFi, with one of the dumbest Names!
Like, a million years ago, some dumb eccentric drug lord thought an exotic "attack dog" sounded like a good idea
thats an interesting movie to watch.
how about the white ship from the anime lost universe, i had been asking that for years.
Can you do s video on the krang from tmnt?
Do the elementals from the sequel, next?
Do the tripods/Martians from war of the worlds 2005
First saw this movie as a kid. Grew up loving it, only to discover I had a massive crush on Riddick when I was older.
Eh, whatever. Still a great sci fi universe.
If they hunted all the other species to extinction, how have they not starved.
Can we get an episode on Riddick
And it's designed by Patrick Tatopoulos.
Stargate 1994
Independence Day (first one)
I am Legend
Silent Hill (first movie)
Pitch Black
The Chronicles of Riddick
Underworld
Bram Stoker's Dracula
I, Robot
Etc..
So that’s how they fully look
The chronicles of Riddick had some of the worst world building I have ever seen, completely gross.
Bioraptors or bio weapons?
The engineers of these creatures use them as a clean slate protocol for a planet.
Sometimes nature(?) creates a species that's a little too good at hunting.
