13 of science fiction’s baddest convicts
RICHARD P. RIDDICK
IMPRISONED FOR: Kidnapping and murder
Vin Diesel in Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick
Strong like bull, crazy like fox, Riddick was so much more effective as a screen presence when we didn’t know much about him — other than that he was the only passenger on the Hunter-Gratzner transport shuttle in chains. And then they made that other movie, which offered us way too much of a good thing.
