So Ice-T rode that motorcycle back to Seattle?

I know this is just a movie but Ice-T was able to ride that motorbike back to civilization with all his wounds, no jacket and no food and presumably no money or way to purchase gas? Sure, why not?

Uh YEAH! Thank you for asking this. It has been a puzzle to me for several years...how the hell did he get off that piece of land? I thought he/they were "landlocked" in or something? And how could he ride a motorcycle all the way back...not to mention no gas money. This spoiled an otherwise suspenseful movie for me.

The ending bothered me too. The only I could think of him getting gas money is if Griffin or Wolfe had money on them.

Maybe there was a can of petrol or something back at the lodge? Or maybe he stole gas at a station? Ice doesn't look like the sort that would pay and after that ordeal I'd nick some gas to get out of there !

Why don't we just wait here for a little while... see what happens...

They all had ATVs at one point. Do you think they parked them (and the gas for them) in the middle of the living room of their lodge?

While I don't recall it being apparent, I think it can be deduced that the lodge isn't the only structure they use for their camp. And as I recall Ice T was carrying a couple of jerry cans when they first got to camp.

He probably got a ride with a trucker and put the bike in the back of the trailer. Minor details, IMO. I'm sure he had to eat, piss and sh!t, during the time he was being chased, but did we need to see that? No. I'm sure those functions can be construed as important to ones survival.

It doesn't matter how he got back as long as he did get back. The motorcycle at the end was just to show you that he indeed made it back and it was significant enough to show you, the viewer, that he made it back alive and was at Hauer's house, instead of just having him pop up at Hauer's house at the end of the movie, and kill him.

actually, from the looks of it he road his motorcycle all the way back to Philly. Not sure why they listed it as Seattle though. ;)

He did get 200$ in advance in the hotel.

It was filmed in Wenatchee National Park. The cabin featured is actually and airport terminal building in real life.

Meh!

Mason was also handed another $500 the night they arrived at the cabin.
