Behind the scenes

Errors

  • This movie presents everything in the Hanna-Barbera franchise outside of Scooby-Doo to be fictional. This greatly contradicts team-ups in the cartoon series, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and Laff-A-Lympics, as well as the Scooby-Doo and Laff-A-Lympics comics from Marvel Comics, and crossovers in DC Comics (although DC was prone to go back and forth between either having the HB characters as real or fictional much like in this movie). By the end of the same year, DC had started to publish Scooby-Doo! Team-Up, having the gang help out most of the "fictitious" characters in this film.
  • It's odd that the Hideous Hyde Hound did not present any malfunction after almost drowning in the Hotel San De Pedro pool.
  • According to Austin, Mr. Hyde's next appearance after episode 3 of the Blue Falcon show, The Adventures of Blue Falcon, is in episode 22, when he creates the Psycho Ooze. But later on, it appears that a giant Mr. Hyde destroys the city in episode 17.
    • The back cover of the episode 17 VHS tape incorrectly reads "Episode Three".
  • There are Hanna-Barbera posters on one of the walls of the Combat Bots arena, as well as on Jack Rabble's wall of his booth at the San Pedro Comic Convention at the Sheldorf Hotel.
