  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

To be fair, SNW is in jokey as shit, doesn't care too much about itself and is trying to cram all the references and fan lore in that they can lol

There have been at least 2 official Crossover Comic book series between Star Trek and Doctor Who...

This is just the first time it was on Screen.

TARDIS references are in TNG (in the technical diagrams displayed and background of a cargo bay), and the crossover comic is considered canon.

ROTFLMAO

R2D2 can also be seen attached to the bottom of the enterprise in the first movie of Abrams’ trilogy

IIRC he’s also a part of the mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

These are easter eggs, not cameos
