Goofs

In the opening scene where Daphne has been captured by the Luna Ghost we can distinctly hear her shouting for help and complaining about the ghost grabbing her. This is almost immediately prior to her release and the unmasking of the Ghost. She says later on that she was captured for nearly an hour and a half but about the time Fred tries to use the hose and gets knocked over, we see Daphne has been gagged with her own scarf so how could she speak earlier?

User Reviews

I don't like this film. Not at all.

Lame. Shockingly lame. Lame beyond belief.

And cynical, too - Hollywood at its most exploitative and greedy.

The original cartoons were no great shakes, but this... this really lowers the bar for TV nostalgia cash-ins.

And to think that Rowan Atkinson used to be funny.
