The 1998 MASK OF ZORRO counts as a very minor crossover in that the fictional "Zorro 2.0" is said to be the brother of a "Joaquin Murietta." The real Murietta became a legendary figure with alleged "Robin Hood" traits, and this legend, according to some pundits, influenced Johnston McCulley's story of Zorro. Thus far I've seen no proof of said influence. But even if the movie's version of Joaquin duplicates none of the legend's deeds, clearly the filmmakers used the name to evoke the legend, and this is a very minor charisma-crossover.
