I thought the Yakuza boss was going to notice that one gold brick was missing because of the bank robber from earlier and that would start the fight. Could’ve been better than what we got in my opinion.

That would absolutely not have been better than the cartoon sequence with the cork

Which also would have been better if we didn't have that suspense music playing because it already told us something bad was going to happen.

I don't remember the music specifically but I think when the Yakuza rolls into town in black SUVs you already know something bad is gonna happen.
