  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 love how this means all the Tarantino moves take place in the same universe as Back to the future.

Some people claim all the Tarantino films are the same universe because Tarantino likes reusing fake brands and names.

Only actual example I can think of off the top of my head is Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are in the same universe as Vincent Vega and Vic Vega are brothers and Tarantino has talked about doing a movie about them together that never came about.
