What have we learned?

Pastor of Muppets

I learned that a big crime kingpin will have a security detail consisting of exactly one guy.
I learned that a plane full of the world's worst criminals will have a vault with millions of dollars guarded by one guy and an easy to open biometric door.
I learned that, even though the winnings on the casino plane will be paid out in cash, the criminal masterminds will still carry a server with a billion dollars in cryptocurrency for some reason.
I learned that cryptocurrency is just a bunch of files you can steal.
I learned, with some disappointment, that Chekov never said anything about guys fucking alligators.
I learned that you can just kill several people in a plane full of elite criminals and nobody will notice.

I did not learn what Kelsey the Grouch's master plan was.  He told Mr. Veinyhead Manbun and his crew to steal a painting that he already owned, then deliberately set them up to fail, so that he could threaten them into stealing a billion dollars of cryptocurrency?  Then he just set them up to fail on that too?  Was Kelsey The Grouch's entire criminal enterprise based on threatening heist crews until they stole things for him?  Is that why he couldn't afford a good security team?
I'm not particularly religious, and I don't really like Muppets, but I do love word play.

I learned that in a movie with multiple fight scenes, having the trained professional wrestler be involved in just one of them so he can sit in a cockpit unnecessarily for half the film is an economical use of both your actors and time.
Speaking of wrestlers, I learned that the name McGillicutty is only funny when Curtis Axel is saying it.
I learned that Kelsey Grammer's career is not in a great place right now. I wonder if he had his own Darrius Emmanuel Grouch "The Rumble" the Third to Money Plane him into doing Money Plane.
I learned that the corpses of international criminals can be conveniently stored in several compartments throughout the cabin. Enjoy your flight.
Correction: the coat hanger should be upside down.

I learned (technically remembered), that Copeland's first wrestling name was not 'Edge' but rather 'Sexton Hardcastle.' And that the name of every character he plays in a movie should be that, even if the movies, or for that matter the characters, are nothing alike. Because Sexton Hardcastle is pure hero name. Like Blast Hardcheese.

I learned this was probably a rejected script from the TV show 'Leverage' that was left lying around.
I learned that you can give Denise Richards so few lines her character won't sound dumb. Also why in the hell she was cast when any generic female actress could have been in that role?
I learned I'm pretty sure in reality it's Thomas Jane and Fraser who owe some very bad people a lot of money, and that rather than robbing an actual Money Plane, they had to star in a movie with that name to get square with the boys.
I learned no one in a plane will notice when guards and pilots go missing for the entire trip.
I learned having a complete set of Lawrence Brothers in your movie has roughly the same value as having a complete set of Polonia Brothers in your movie.
I learned that when you have an actual buff, physically imposing athlete who knows how to fake fight as your lead, you still have a 110 pound woman as the muscle in your movie.
I learned there were exactly two scenes which mildly entertained me. Cowboy blowing his own head off (I mean the lead up to it not the actual act), and when another Lawrence puts his gun hand through the gravel and shoots the guy.
I learned... the guys were great in this one. I laughed aloud multiple times. Glad I bought it.

I learned that while an A380 may look really big on the outside it's really as big as a 727 on the inside.

I learned that cryptocurrency has to be held in a physical location and can just be taken like an ordinary object? (Granted; I don't fully understand how crypto works, so...)

I learned that while in flight airplanes make no noise whatsoever.

I learned that secret, underworld, gaming planes take off from major international airports.

I learn that even while flying you have to steadily move the yoke back and forth like trying to keep a car with poor alignment and steering range in its lane.

You can make kill-drones by duck-taping a pistol to a inexpensive drone-copter?

I mean, okay, yeah; when you're over international waters rules and laws sort of become ambiguous but things like murder are pretty universal.  I mean when you land and a handful of bodies are carried out some people are going to ask questions.

Kelsey Grammer obviously owed someone money or had some tax issues to take care of.

So, the people who made this movie have never been on a plane before?
