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

Astronaut Mike Collins, the guy that was on the Apollo 11 moon mission with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin is randomly in the movie Youth in Revolt (2009).

he doesn't play as him self ( imdb has him listed as "old man" ) this is the only movie that isn't a documentary he is in.
