Well, looks like I was right about Cobra and Geronimo being the only survivors. I just didn't figure out the reason for Cobra's stupid non-spaceship trip, saving Lady.


Things that don't make sense: Lady being on that plane (she has a spaceship, yes/no?), Cobra, Geronimo and Lady have no way of returning to shore, and they just left the gold? At current prices, 20 tons are worth about $700.000.000...

I'm done trying to make sense of things, from now on I'll just watch it for the awesome, as suggested earlier.

It think the point is that there's no way to carry gold out of the montain because to begin with it's heavy as hell.

My "interpretation", futile as it may seem, is this:

Lady was on the plane because Cobra was actually planning on stealing the gold himself. Just not by killing a planeful of people.
Unfortunately evil priest mucked things up and Lady was stranded on that damn mountain.

For some reason Cobra couldn't pilot the ship (maybe Lady had it parked around a moon or something and Cobra can't operate it by remote), so he goes to get Lady the old fashioned way.

The reason he doesn't care about the gold is because Lady is in trouble: That's his first priority. Although he also knew the gold was there for sure too :).
Once Lady is all better he'll come down and pick it up later, being pretty confident the gold isn't going anywhere.

Well, that's what I think happened.

@Quarkboy: Nice analysis. I don't buy the reason for Lady being on that plane, if anything Cobra should've been on there and not her, maybe even the two of them, but everything else kind of makes sense. However, if Cobra can't pilot the ship, Lady should definitely not have been on the plane. It's a plot hole for the sake of having a story, which is fine and dandy by me.

Lady was on that plane, I wasn't expecting that.
That priest was a bad cyborg, he was the one who put the bomb on that plane.
Geronimo was cool, he came to prove that his father didn't run away, I initially thought that he was climbing to bury the people from the plane.

Lame antagonist but I didn't expect Lady to be there. And Geronimo's reason is kinda cool too.
