The argument Reznov fans have is that you don't actually see Reznov die (which you don't, it cuts to black before he even hits the cars). But as I've said on other blogs before, even if he was alive, Reznov would be useless in the 80's and dead by 2025, so it's worthless to think he is alive. He'll just the hallucination that Mason fell in love with.
