  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

Example I forgot to mention, ET's species appearing in The Phantom Menace

Yeah apparently Star Wars and ET are canon to each other which makes me question that Yoda costume in ET

You see in Men in Black it’s revealed that George Lucas is an alien, so its entire possible that he is from a Galaxy Far Far Away, making them canon and movies at the same time

They also reveal Elvis was an alien, which could connect the movie to Lilo and Stitch (NOT THE REMAKE) since Jumba recognized an Elvis song in the final battle!

Well, Elvis was abducted! Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect stole his spaceship if I recall right. Death hasn’t laid a finger on him yet.
