Roy is gunned down by a notorious outlaw gang just as he prepares to welcome his daughter home.

The specific digital release tagged as RIPD2.Rise.of.the.Damned.2022.1080p.BluRay.H264 references a high-definition copy ripped from the official Blu-ray disc.

Released by Universal 1440 Entertainment, this installment takes viewers back to the American West in 1876. It explores the origin story of Sheriff Roy Pulsipher, the character originally played by Jeff Bridges in the first film.

Critics generally viewed the movie as a massive step down in production value compared to the $130 million original film starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges.

To interact with the living world without blowing his cover, Roy and his sword-wielding partner Jeanne (Penelope Mitchell) are given physical avatars on Earth that look like two Black women.

Critics from STARBURST Magazine noted that Jeffrey Donovan and Penelope Mitchell are the sole saving graces, doing the absolute best they can with flat comedy and an uneasy script.

🚨 While it serves as a harmless piece of background entertainment for die-hard fans of the first film's lore, casual viewers will likely find that it plays more like a pilot for a syndicated television show than a blockbuster feature. R.I.P.D. 2: RISE OF THE DAMNED - STARBURST Magazine
