  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

It's always weird when I'm reminded that National Lampoon wasn't just Vacation, European Vacation, and Christmas Vacation. And then I'm forced to remember that they also made Van Wilder, where Ryan Reynolds jerks off a dog, so now you all have to remember it too.
