Don't know if this another pop-culture reference...

In the previews the thieves are all wearing Ex-President masks (Jimmy Carter; Ronald Regan; Richard Nixon; etc.). This might be a nod to the 1991 film "Point Break" with Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.

Swayze played the leader of a group of bank robbers who wore similar masks and called themselves "The Ex-Presidents" who FBI Agent Reeves was trying to infiltrate to take them down.
