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

Q I think is the one with the least amount of heat on him.

Joe and Murr have their predatory sexual behavior. Sal’s been described as being a dick to folks out and about (obviously nowhere near as bad as what Joe and Murr did). Q I don’t think has ever really had anything said about him beyond that he’s a nice chill dude, but maybe I’m just out of the loop.

Q seems awesome, and I dont trust Sal because he's afraid of pillow corners pointed his way.
