Trivia:

As the gang are searching the cave lair of the Wiki Tiki, they are passing by some carvings on a cave wall. A torch mounted on the wall flares up and startles Shaggy and Scooby, causing them to fall over. They land next to a skeleton dressed in a white hat, red shirt and blue bell-bottom pants. As a spider crawls out of the skeleton's eye socket, the music changes briefly to reflect the Gilligan's Island theme song.

Goofs:

Plot holes: It was never revealed how Manu made the Wiki Tiki breathe fire.

Quotes:

Manu Tuiama: I really appreciate all you're doing to help me find Snookie, especially given the danger.

Very, very weak.

The previous seven direct-to-video Scooby cartoons (including the perfect simulations of the 1970s Scooby cartoons ("Legend of the Vampire" and "Monster of Mexico") have a lot of action and good premises, but now after the Loch Ness Monster one, they seem to be taking a step downhill. This may be one of the worst direct-to-video Scooby films ever. The writing and action is slow, the music is poor (all Hawaiian tunes,) the voice cast is lame (ADAM WEST? Sheesh!), and it looks and sounds more like a Warner Bros. cartoon rather than a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. It is very weak and boring and should be definitely missed out.
