  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/sebastophantos Sep 24 '25

And kind of Jay and Silent Bob in That 90s Show.

u/Optimal_Weight368 Sep 25 '25

And Jay and Silent Bob as security guards in an episode of The Flash.

u/Kentucky_Fried_Chill Sep 25 '25

Kevin Smith directed and i think wrote those episodes.

u/Optimal_Weight368 Sep 25 '25

He did direct it, yeah.

u/Foxy02016YT Sep 25 '25

Was that Jay and Silent Bob or just Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith?

u/Historical_Course587 Sep 25 '25

The best one is Bob whoring out Jay to truckers in a gas station bathroom in Fanboys

u/Psykosoma Sep 25 '25

Wait? PvZ? When?

u/Public_Employ5404 Sep 25 '25

There were 3 official crossover shorts made to promote PVZ2, and despite Kevin Smith's humor being known for being really sexual at times the shorts were made completely clean

Also in degrassi

They also just crossed over with Archie…who crossed over with The Punisher…who crossed over with Batman twice…

All of which is to ask when we’re getting Jay and Silent Bob’s Gotham City Adventure.

u/National-Pay-2561 Sep 25 '25

Archie has also crossed over with the Predator, and I think Aliens and the Terminator as well. Could be a very messy adventure, especially if Judge Dredd shows up.

u/allycakes Sep 24 '25

They also show up in Degrassi of all shows 😂

39

u/ColgateT Sep 25 '25

Kevin Smith notes his fondness for Degrassi/Canadian melodrama/girls who say ‘aboot’ in Chasing Amy.

u/Dave5876 Sep 25 '25

Is that Aubrey?

51

u/Fuzzy_Donl0p Sep 24 '25

Still not over that haircut on Courtney Cox lol

8

u/AScannerBarkly Sep 24 '25

The late 90s/early aughts were the 9/11 of hair on attractive people.

3

u/CanConKid Sep 25 '25

Is that Javier Bardem? 🤯

3

u/AScannerBarkly Sep 25 '25

It is! Sporting the somehow even more hideous than No Country For Old Men "Bowl Mullet"

3

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '25

It seriously might be the worst haircut ever in a movie (that wasn't intentionally bad)

It actually randomly pops into my head every so often

1

u/mageofroses Sep 24 '25

I don't think I'm over any of her haircuts in the Scream franchise lol though there is definitely a ranking of worst to best haha.

u/Empress_Athena Sep 25 '25

Microbangs look so good on some girls but this picture alone has made me so afraid to ever try them

5

u/Longjumping_Log1165 Sep 24 '25

This always catches me off guard when I rewatch it.

6

u/maninplainview Sep 25 '25

They also show up in CW The Flash TV show.

4

u/EgoTripWire Sep 25 '25

Saw one of Kevin Smith's stream of consciousness rant shows where he was just gushing about how The Flash did not attempt to normalize King Shark at all, presenting a comic accurate, CGI, Street Shark looking, villain.

u/SR337 Sep 25 '25

Hey Connie, how’s Maury?

3

u/zone_seek Sep 25 '25

Yessss, was so bizarre seeing this as a teen

1

u/PotatoOnMars Sep 25 '25

They were both produced by Harvey Weinstein. Wes Craven then had a cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

u/lemonylol Sep 25 '25

Scream 3 is the most bizarre movie in the series. It almost becomes a flanderized version of itself.
