The film features no LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on a thriller narrative involving police corruption and a major cash seizure among a team of Miami cops.

The film features no transgender characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.

Female detectives Numa Baptiste and Lolo Salazar join the team's high-stakes operation amid gunfights and betrayals, but Salazar sustains a wound during an attack while male colleagues handle pursuits and confrontations. Desi Lopez Molina aids the group without entering combat. No instances occur of female characters prevailing in hand-to-hand or melee fights against males.

The Rip draws from a real 2016 Miami drug bust led by male officer Chris Casiano, portrayed as male by Matt Damon. Female characters like Detectives Numa Baptiste and Lolo Salazar are fictional additions to the dramatized ensemble, not swaps of documented historical figures.

The Rip presents original characters in a thriller inspired by a real police raid, without adapting prior source material or directly portraying historical figures, so no race swaps occur.
