Shaka finger sign over the grave?


In this movie over one of the graves appears a hand gesture "shaka style" (Hawaiian sign for "Hang loose" with the thumb and pinkie finger extended and the three middle fingers tucked in the hand). Several internet sources say this means "six" in Chinese. What would it's meaning be here in the movie? I saw the movie theater here in Hawaii with a Chinese audience and when the hand gesture appeared the audience bust out laughing. I can't figure out if it was the novelty of seeing the hand gesture in a Chinese film or if there is some other meaning I've not yet guessed. Any info would be welcome.
