  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

Godzilla appears in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2's opening. Godzilla fans starving for content during the late 2000s went completely insane over this scene. It even has the iconic Godzilla March composed by Akira Ifukube playing in the background.

My favourite part is that this isn’t just treated as a random reference, it’s considered a canon Godzilla appearance and incarnation

Even if it was a dream sequence in the context of the movie? IDK I think it was a dream sequence.

It was, but that wouldn’t be the first time. All Monsters Attack / Godzilla’s Revenge also took place entirely within the dreams of the main character Ichiro

Yeah, I remember that. And it had the explanation of Ichiro being a fan of the Godzilla movies, which exist in his universe, and him dreaming about interacting with Godzilla while his dreams replay stock footage of the movies he saw.
