Age Lift: Roy was in his 60's or so in the original film, whereas here he seems to be 40 (confirmed by the date on his tombstone) at the time of his death. Jeanne, who's been dead for 445 years, shows that R.I.P.D. agents don't age, so it's anyone's guess why Roy aged up in the 100 years between films.
