If you have a spare $1.2 million/week (plus expenses) you rent Khan's ship as well.

Guess that's when you know you have a sweet [BLEEP] boat.

What happened to the Jaguar that was on the front? Was that his old boat?

I think they remove it when it gets rented out.

We should totally cross thread this with the "Vegan ate a sausage roll" thread.

Just watched this on Netflix.
A few observations:
You could have been dropped in an hour into the movie, and it would play exactly the same without having really missed any "plot."
I almost stopped watching before the end of the opening scene. It's not bad, it's just like eating an entire cake in one sitting starting with all the icing first. Very self indulgent filmmaking, even for Michael Bay.
That being said, the action and special effects are expectedly over the top. Very graphic and meticulously executed. Some of the wows have wows.
Unfortunately the 'realism' situationally and character-wise, understandably suffer as a result. But - that's Bay's style.
The Kismet is pretty amazing, and fits in extremely well within the story. An over the top boat for an over the top adventure. There is some Jaguar themed artwork in the Kismet (not obvious to the casual viewer, as it is not specifically franchise derived.)
Final verdict - worth watching. It's fun, but not particularly redeeming. Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool without the suit, and the rest of the cast is interesting enough. If you like Michael Bay, you'll get that and then some. Expect an amazing heaping helping of junk food and desert, but certainly not substitute for a satisfying meal.

Back when the Kismet was owned by Adnan Khashoggi, Queen wrote a song about it. True story.
