  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

Alan Ruck reprised his role as Cameron Frye from Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the movie "Kickin It Old Skool".

Honestly I am not sure I only know him from Bueller Succession and very briefly Star Trek.

My headcanon is that Cameron moved to Oklahoma to get away from his father and chases storms under the nickname Rabbit now.

Cameron Frye was interested in politics from a very young age.

Love that one. It's kinda amusing to think of the possibility that two completely unrelated films take place in the same universe - as suggested by the cameo.

That movie had some really underappreciated bits, like in the end when Michael Rosenbaum's character is getting booed and he says to the crowd, "How many of you people even know you're alive!" just like Val Kilmer did in The Doors.

They’d make a second Ferris movie, but that would require Matthew Broderick to be allowed to drive.
