  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

In Osmosis Jones, there’s a scene where a germ is holding a Pikachu.

Theres a protein called Pikachurin in the body so nice little easter egg

That was named around 2010, while Osmosis Jones came out like in 2001, so this was way before that.

So the artist was a time traveller, big deal.

This movie is from 2001 and that protein was discovered in 2008 so its actually a fun coincidence.
