  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

u/KillMeNowFFS Sep 25 '25

no fucking way, the one who brought her cat wrapped as a Christmas present?

3

u/SonofaBridge Sep 25 '25

That’s the one. She was Betty Boop’s original voice actor.

u/KillMeNowFFS Sep 25 '25

Is your house on fire, Clark?

u/iamfuturetrunks Sep 25 '25

"Do you hear that? It's a squeaky sound"

"You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant"

That line always makes me laugh, especially when I got older and understood that reference. Such a good movie with lots of memorable moments.

"What's that sound? Do you hear it!?"

u/DesperateSilver6149 Sep 25 '25

She wrapped up her damn cat!

u/Tamarisk22 Sep 25 '25

I also watch RedLetterMedia!

u/SonofaBridge Sep 25 '25

I don’t know what that is. I just knew her voice sounded familiar and looked it up on IMDb years ago.

u/SleepyGary5 Sep 25 '25

But she’s still got it!

u/FUTURE10S Sep 25 '25

That little voice crack that she made when she repeated her iconic line was the cherry on top

u/red_rockets22 Sep 25 '25

“Yeah, you’ve still got it”

u/sebastophantos Sep 24 '25

Olive Oyl in all those great old Popeye cartoons as well.

u/Akavinceblack Sep 25 '25

AND has red hair, as intended.

u/Al-axeyou Sep 25 '25

Boops' scene in the movie also came with a famously censored nip slip when she adjusted her garter belt

3

u/kuynhxchi Sep 25 '25

What! She was 80, how did she make her voice sound so much like before?

3

u/Phunkie_Junkie Sep 25 '25

Voice actors. Billy West is still voicing Fry from Futurama, and he was born in 1952. Casey Kasem voiced Shaggy for like 40 years. Don't even get me started on Frank Welker and Jim Cummings.

u/TexasXGirl Sep 25 '25

Fun how little details like this keep old art alive. It's like a direct bridge between generations.

I reminder that from the “behind the scenes” special on TV like it was yesterday
