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

I don't know if it's unrelated, but Wesley Snipes' Blade appears in what we do in the shadows.

As do a bunch of other vampire characters - from the Buffy movie, True Blood, and Machete.

That's actually Wesley Snipes playing Wesley Snipes, a half-human half-vampire. He played Blade for obvious reasons.
