Taking place over 100 years prior to the original film, during the days of TheWildWest, ''Rise of the Damned'' shows the events of Sheriff Roy Pulsipher's (Creator/JeffreyDonovan) death and his recruitment into the R.I.P.D. afterlife police. Roy is specifically recruited in order to investigate a strange emanation from an old disused gateway to Hell near Roy's hometown, and partnered with a sword-wielding medieval warrior-woman named Jeanne (Penelope Mitchell). The two find themselves on the trail of a gang of Deados led by Otis Clairborne (Creator/RichardBrake), an unusually powerful Deado who claims to be more than he seems.

* BlackLikeMe: Roy and Jeanne get sent to Earth in the form of two black women. When Roy questions why the PowersThatBe would make his job more difficult by doing so (it being much harder to get information out of people or cooperation from the authorities as a black woman rather than a white man in 19th century America), Jeanne replies that they might want it to be a learning experience for Roy, a white authority figure, even if he was relatively tolerant for his time period.

* BoomHeadshot: Played with. Unlike the first film, the Deados' "real" head is actually a wraith-like skull inside their chest, so now the heroes aim for the chest instead to score a soulkiller headshot.
* HistoricalPersonPunchline: Jeanne is revealed towards the end of the film to have been [[spoiler: UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc]], explaining her prowess with a sword and fear of fire.
* ImmuneToBullets: Soulkillers don't work on Otis, as when Roy tries to shoot him a damned soul emerges from him and takes the shot for him. [[spoiler: This is because Otis is actually Astaroth, one of the leaders of Hell, and his body includes hundreds of absorbed damned souls which he can use to shield himself from soulkiller shots. It takes being shot by the Tears of Christ to finally kill him.]]

* {{Prequel}}: The film shows the origins of Roy Pulsipher, the cowboy R.I.P.D. agent played by Creator/JeffBridges in the first film.
* {{Retcon}}: In the original film, Deados were simply people who died but refused to move on to the afterlife, remaining on Earth in physical form. Here, Deados are described as damned souls who escaped midway through their transport to Hell, and came back to Earth by possessing the bodies of innocent humans, and manifest as wraiths made of tendrils of black smoke that come out of an ouroboros symbol branded in their possessed body's chest. The original film does mention that Deados are able to stay on Earth because the human population is too large for the system to handle and some people simply slip through the cracks when they die, so those may simply be a different type of Deado that isn't a problem yet in the much less populated 19th century.
* SelfOffense: For most of the film, Roy believes his killer was a member of the Deado gang that attacked the train he was defending. [[spoiler: Turns out Roy was shot in the back by the town mayor, a cowardly jerk who mistook him for one of the robbers.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc: Slim Samuels was only scheduled to be sent to Hell for stealing, and lacks the total disregard for human life most of the other Deados, who were killers and worse, have. He ends up helping Roy and Jeanne in their attempts to stop the Deado gang and Otis.
