Stupidity: They go to great pains to lock the nodes behind an explosive lock, then have a debate about whether Riddick's somehow broken in. They eventually unlock them, check they're still in place...then just leave the locker completely unattended and unlocked while they discuss plans, and Riddick of course steals the nodes.
Riddick (2013)
1 stupidity
Directed by: David Twohy
Starring: Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff
Other mistake: In the scene where Riddick, Johns, and the bad goatee-dude go on the "bikes" to get the missing engine parts (nodes), they travel quite a distance (about two minutes of movie time). After the "bikes' get shot up and are no longer usable, it's not that far at all for Johns to get back. In fact it's just a few steps, and monster free too. (01:03:00 - 01:07:00)
Question: How did Riddick know the rain would bring the monsters?
Answer: Earlier in the film when he arrived at the base, he could see the monsters from a distance when the rain came in. That's how he knew.
Answer: Earlier in the movie, they show a pack of the dog-like creatures growling at the creatures in the water. When the rain is visible, his pet starts to growl towards that direction.

Riddick cauterized his wound, fought off some creatures and made his way up a large hill. In that short period of time, Johns walks back the distance that took 2 minutes by bike, installs a node, gets Dahl, starts up the ship and flies back to Riddick. The original entry is valid.
