Fighting against the dead is pretty tough — and fighting against deados is even harder.
So, in honor of R.I.P.D. ’s impending Blu-ray/DVD release (hitting Australian shelves Jan. 9), we thought that we’d give you a list of some of the roughest, toughest deados to ever wander the afterlife.
Good luck with these outlaws.
Top 10 Deados Who You Wouldn’t Want to Fight
1. Al Capone
One of the most notorious kings of crime, Al Capone was not a person to be trifled with. His level of expertise when it came to organized villainy was something that the world had never seen, and you could fully expect that deado Capone would create the same type of syndicate that he did when he was alive. Good luck messing with the ghost mob.

2. Billy the Kid
Billy the Kid was one tough outlaw. He was best known for his skills at gambling and shooting. He was said to have killed 26 men. The real reason you wouldn’t want to face this guy is that he was basically fearless… And that was when he was alive.

3. Grigori Rasputin
We’ve all heard the stories about the crazy hermit wizard who was stabbed, poisoned and drowned. He’s one of the scariest dudes that ever lived and definitely had some freaky magical powers. Can you imagine facing off against a dead version of this guy? Terrifying.

4. Adolf Hitler
This one is pretty simple. His name is synonymous with evil. His army has been immortalized as the villains in every video game ever made. Deado Hitler would probably be so pissed about his portrayal in popular culture that his anger would make him unstoppable.

5. John Dillinger
The most famous villain in the history of the United States, Dillinger made the likes of Baby Face Nelson and Bonnie and Clyde pale in comparison. He was violent and, more importantly, he was really smart. Not to mention that he had gonorrhea, which he probably still has as a deado, and that would irritate the hell out of anyone.

6. Joseph Stalin
Another guy who killed people by the thousands, Stalin was a pretty evil dude. Going up against him was near impossible when he was alive (as the Nazis found out), but trying to fight this guy when he’s dead and really upset with the current state of Russian political affairs? Yikes.

7. Lizzie Borden
As far as crazy axe murderers go, this lady takes the cake. She was acquitted in court, but nobody else ever took the blame for the murder of her father and stepmother. We’re guessing that, with her blade-wielding skills, she’d be handful for the RIPD.

8. John Wayne Gacy
What is scarier than a serial killer who dresses up like a clown? A dead serial killer who dresses up like a clown. Good luck with this guy.

9. The Sundance Kid
Well known for his exploits with Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid (or Henry Longabaugh) was the sharpshooter and the muscle of the gang. This guy was smart, ruthless and incredibly dangerous. After more than a hundred years of being dead, we’re guessing that he hasn’t turned over a new leaf.

10. Jack the Ripper
This creepy character haunted the foggy streets of London, slashing ladies of the night. Not the nicest guy in the world and, he’s probably pretty stealthy when he wants to be. Let’s just say that you’d be lucky to get a wink of sleep if this deado came after you on a dark, cloudy night.
