The rivalry peaks midway through the film in a brutal, extended hand-to-hand brawl that tears through drywall, concrete, and glass windows. This clash of action titans became the central marketing hook for the movie and established a template for the larger-than-life rivalries that would define the rest of the series.

They are proving that gravity, like the law, is something the family can bend. When the vault finally crashes into the ocean, it’s a baptism. They walk away richer, but the real treasure was the destruction of the walls around them.
