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?

Quotes

Daphne: I've got this. I've got this.
[Door closes]
Daphne: I don't got this.

Crazy Credits

As the Warner Bros. logo fully appears, a chunk of it is suddenly bitten off, and Scooby-Doo is heard giggling. A new logo appears, with the letters "SD" in it (for Scooby-Doo), and reading underneath "A Mystery Inc. Company".

Alternate Versions

1 second was cut (sight of potentially imitable martial arts techniques (kicks to head)) by the distributor in the UK to qualify for a 'PG' rating. An uncut '12' rating was available.

Hidden stoner movie gem

It's been 16 years since this movie came out, and I decided to watch it after browsing the Netflix library while being high. I was looking for the dumbest possible movie to watch, and thought Scooby Doo should do.

Boy, like, how wrong was I? Never knew this was actually a stoner movie. I think it's silly enough to be fun if you watch it sober, but if you're high - it's awesome. Just stack up on scooby snacks and enjoy the ride!
