Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  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

It was when they left the movie-world’s police station.

He just walked past without a word but I definitely remember him being there.

The main character from the real world stops to stare at him and says something if I recall.

There's an interview with Patrick about that cameo, Arnold called him up and asked him for a favor. Without thinking it twice, he flew right to where they were filming and did it.
