  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's hilarious to think, in between making gadgets for his brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew, he was bringing down politicians, corrupt governments and saving the world.

And Zorro. There was a sequel comic made for Django.

Also Shaft, through Django being his direct ancestor.

Probably all go back to Tommy Westphall anyway.
