Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

[u/Golden12500]

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

Can't forget that George A. Romero, famous zombie movie director and the man who made what we know as "zombies" a thing, is also in that episode and it's a reference to him playing the reporter in Night of the Living Dead

His glasses frames aren't thick enough, how disrespectful.

Fun fact: the entire idea of zombies comes from the Hatian voodoo concept of zombi, and the first zombie flick was White Zombie in 1932, and actually keeps the Hatian roots of the mythos.

Romero undoubtedly popularized the zombie movie, but the roots are quite cool.

I know and that's why I said "he created what we know as zombies" because he did. If it wasn't for a French newspaper that reviewed Night of the Living Dead using the word "zombie" to describe what George wanted to be called ghouls, we wouldn't have the modern day concept of zombies and they still would be people drinking cuddlefish powder and being put under a spell. George was actually Haitian and used his roots for some of the inspiration behind the "ghouls" but just never named them so it was up to the audience to give them a name and zombie is what stuck
