At the beginning of the movie, there's a scene at a casino that's just closed up for the night. One of the employees takes the money from the cashier cage and brings it into the big boss's office to be locked in the safe. As he enters the office, you can spot a small Moai sculpture (maybe a foot or so high?) on a table by the door. You get a couple more quick glances at it later but there's no reference to it all; it's just there in the background as part of the decor of the office. Pretty neat to spot it there just as a decorative item in an executive's office.
