The name "Old men in new cars" clearly makes you think of the expression "Old wine in new bottles". In this case it is not in any negative sense - the film shows a lot of inspiration from other movies.
Some inspiration comes from Danish folk humor, like "Olsen Banden", some come from the precursor "I Kina spiser de hunde", some come from "Pusher" and so on.
Other inspiration comes from American action comedies - if you say Blues Brothers, you say car destruction and especially police car destruction in a very large scale.
So that's how I see the old wine in new bottles - these good old themes still work fine. By the way, that's how most sequels work ...
There are many other quotes in the action scenes. I won't reveal them all here, but there is some hot action in the Copenhagen Airport as well as in the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen (Olsen Banden quote here).
The characters in the movie are very one-dimensional with the potential to be one-and-a-half dimensional later on in the movie. This is also typical for action comedies, and as such the stage is set for absurd situations with creative solutions to it.
Do see the movie as pure slap-stick bizarre humor, no one should search for more here!
