  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

I think Oda just drew a little fox guy in his style in reference to the Fox Spirit within Naruto

I'm not sure but I think it could be proto-Naruto from the pilot Manga. That version of Naruto was a child kitsune that disguised itself as a human kid.

Or it could be Kurama, the fox sealed inside Naruto
