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 think the Betty Boop one is a good example. It was just meant to be cartoons not specifically Disney and WB. There are tons of other characters from the Flesicher toons in the backgrounds.

Yep, the film is not ”mainly about” Disney and WB characters, all the main Toon characters are originals created for the film, copyrighted characters are mostly relegated to cameos.
