Factual error: Chow is carrying around $21 million in gold bullion. A bar weighs 400 ounces. Gold prices at that time were around $1,200 per ounce, and he's got two bags, therefore he's supposedly carrying 8,750 troy ounces, or about 600lb/270kg, on each arm. (00:46:20)
Suggested correction: Chow was carrying half the gold and bars were easy to carry in bags weighing 250 lbs each bag and had the rest elsewhere.and together he had 5 bags total at end so 1250 lbs x 16 oz is 20,000.oz so 1250 bucks per oz. X 20,000 equals 25 million and chow had more strength due to all drugs in his system made him stronger and pain free.
Even if he only had 2/5 bags and the 5 bags total weighed 600lb / 270kg, that still means one bag would weigh about 108kg / 240lb, which is too much for an average person to carry one handed, drugged-up or not.
Alan: We can't be friends anymore. When we get together, bad things happen and people get hurt.
Mr. Chow: Yeah, but that's the point! It's funny!

Answer: Not necessarily. Keep in mind, before that, Chow didn't have any prior relations to Marshall, but after they showed up, he did, when he kidnapped B. Doug, who works for Marshall. It would make sense that Marshall would then be angry at Chow, and prompt the latter to steal his gold.
