If he was saying ready for the big ride baby, that means that he survived. How did he survived getting impaled by the spear?

He was clearly dying. The big ride to the afterlife is what he was referring to.

So he didn't survive. Correct?

Correct. Sean comes back at the end looking like John Travolta again. Greatest plastic surgeons in the world.

So if I understood correctly Castor Troy died. He didn't survive. It's just that Sean got his face back in the end. It's not that Castor Troy survived. Castor Troy died. Correct?

Yes.

Castor died, then the surgeons put Archer's face back on Archer and that is why you see John Travolta at the end but he isn't playing the same character.

"If he was saying ready for the big ride baby, that means that he survived."

Please elaborate.

They wheeled Archer into the ambulance right next to Castor Troy who had a bandage strapped to the spot where he was shot by the spear gun. So I guess that was to hold him together until the hospital.

If he was dead I think they would have put him in a bodybag, and not given him a couple pillows for his head.

Him surviving a spear gun shot is probably the least unbelievable thing in this film.
