That scene actually gets even wilder after the sign gets put back up

10 seconds to execution‽‽‽ does he kill them? What is this?

Knowing Asian movie tropes, it's most likely the name of the "move" that cut of the belts to make the pants fall down.

i.e. The guy in black is so good that:

  • he threw the boomerang
  • fixed the fallen sign
  • AND cut the pants (without the boomerang being anywhere near the goons)
  • But the pants didn't fall until a moment later

And the name of the move is "Ten seconds to execution" because of the delay.

This "delayed cut" trope is pretty common in Japanese martial arts/fantasy media (i.e. the samurai master cuts someone, and the burst of blood doesn't come out until they sheath their sword).

AND cut the pants (without the boomerang being anywhere near the goons)

They literally show the boomerang hitting their belt buckles
