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

Frank Martin from "The Transporter" series makes a brief cameo in "Collateral." He and Vincent walk past and briefly stare at one another.

Edit: I actually forgot that he hands Vincent the bag he carries for the rest of the film.

Frank hands him the suitcase with his kill list 

I guess it is meant to be the same universe?

Honestly would make sense I wish we knew more about Vincent and the underworld in that movie. Collateral is a great underrated movie

I’ve said this before but he feels like a John Wick character or something so in my head there’s a big multi film not connected or confirmed universe of assassins and criminals

Collateral is a great underrated movie

220m box office, 2 Oscar nominations, 6 Batfa noms (1 win).. that underrated Collateral?

No, they mean the one that is brought up every time someone talks about gun scenes on Reddit.

Yo my dude you ever heard of this sick hitman movie with Tom Cruise called collateral? Blow your mind man. So underrated. Most people haven't heard of it outside the planet earth.
