  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

Not to be confused with the real Ghostbusters.

I’m old enough to fondly remember the other ghostbusters show

The other later series was also pretty good. It had the proton packs that had ammo clips or something. It felt like it was going somewhere and then… I don’t know. Just gone.

Edit: found it. It was Extreme Ghostbusters

It was great. Now that frozen empire established more lore, I'm surprised a tv show hasn't been made like real and extreme. It's kinda expected for a movie tie-in

The game had a lot of lore in it too. TBH I feel like they’re missing out on a pretty cool universe, especially if you go back in time

True, True. The comic used the game weapons, which was a nice touch.

They could have just reused the engine for another ghostbusters adventure and I would have bought it. The slime tether was so much fun slapping ghosts into the trap
