Just started watching "the frankenstein chronicals" on netflix. 

 

Sean Beans character opens up a personal box after he's moved to new accommodation and inside it is a Green Jacket (as worn by the Chosen Men in Sharpe) & a Waterloo medal, the first medal issued to British troops of any rank to show service. Sharpe faught at Waterloo.. 

 

I don't know Beans character development yet as only seen 1st episode but thought it was a nice wee fan moment...

Don't know if it counts but during an episode of The Persuaders, Tony Curtis (Danny Wilde) answers a telephone call in his hotel room and says 'No, there's no Mr Schwartz here'. Bernard Schwartz being the real name of Tony Curtis.

in a similar vein in Arsenic And Old Lace there is a scene in a graveyard and Cary Grant sits on a gravestone with the name Archibald Leach on it , which is his real name.

Bruce Campbell had cameos in all the Sam Raimi Spiderman films.

not just them but other sam raimi films such as darkman and it is rumoured he will have a cameo in the new doctor strange film as raimi is directing. Both campbell and raimi met while at high school and became friends

In "The Joker" his dressing room mirror is shaped like batmans face.. 

 

In deadpool 2 the invisible man is played by Brad Pitt, you see him flash up on screen when he gets electrocuted.

Cameos are a rich source of Easter eggs. Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth’s brother are the actors in the play in Thor Ragnarok.

Just watching The Goonies.

 

When Chunk is on the phone to the cops the cop is questioning him regarding previous prank calls.

 

Says something along the lines of

 

”The time you called about the little monsters who multiply if you put water on them”

 

Obviously talking about Gremlins.
