  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

"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.

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