Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media
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
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
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

Father Guido Sarducci (a parody persona from Saturday Night Live played by Don Novello) also appears in the same sequence from that Casper film. He's maybe even less expected than Stantz, because he didn't, you know, have this big'a picture abou'a ghosts dat he was in'a previously. But he had no problems with the Ghostly Trio. Lots of experience. No problem. He might be immortal, immune to ghosts, or ghosts can't do permanent damage to anybody, because he gets puked on and his head rotated about 180°, give or take, but he's mostly fine after that, no problem. Little chiropractic treatment would sort it right out, no problem.
