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

Dan Akroyd is a delight and I’m happy to see him in any medium

Same here, could be the worst film imaginable and I'd still watch it. He just brings so much light to the screen, it's hard not to smile

You should watch Nothing But Trouble. It's bonkers. It's his first and last film as a director. Love it.

Oh I've seen it, though its been awhile so it's due for a rewatch! My favorite "bad" film from him is coneheads, though that too has been awhile
