- Questions imagine terrorist profit shares and whether underlings should expect betrayal: Travers and Qualen might each take a third, while lesser henchmen receive percentages or are killed before payment. These are hypotheses, not explicit film contracts.
- Delmar's actual soccer ability is questioned because repeated kicks fail to finish Hal; minor-league/club or teenage-level ability is imagined.
- The cave bats raise questions about bite risk and damage, with uncertainty explicit and First Blood as another Stallone cave comparison.
- A proposed alternate ending has Hal throw Jesse off the mountain to even the score, setting up a villainous-Rooker sequel.
- Throwing Jesse into helicopter blades would escalate the hypothetical ending further, and both speakers favor the outrageous bookend.
