Scooby-Doo (film)
Scooby-Doo is the 2002 live action adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini and Rowan Atkinson and directed by Raja Gosnell.
After a sudden break up of Mystery Inc. the gang had gone about their separate ways for some time. Until one day they're all invited to a mysterious island to once again solve a mystery together.
Tropes used in Scooby-Doo (film) include:
- Adaptational Villainy: Scrappy-Doo.
- Animated Credits Opening: The movie was originally intended to have an animated opening that would transition into live action but it was cut. It can still be seen completed as a Deleted Scene.
- Amusement Park of Doom: Spooky Island
- Big Bad: Emile Mondavarious, who really turns out to be Scrappy Doo.
- Blind Without'Em: Velma
- Body Horror
- Breaking the Fellowship: The gang decides to break up Mystery Inc. and go about their own paths.
- The Cameo: Pamela Anderson
- Chekhov's Gag: Melvin Doo. Also, Scrappy-Doo pulling a Syndrome.
- Conveyor Belt O' Doom: The opening scene.
- Deconstructive Parody: The film enjoys taking apart the tropes of the Scooby Doo Universe, Daphne getting kidnapped, warning of obviously dangerous and scary locations and examining the roles of the team.
- Dramatic Unmask: The opening with the Luna Ghost, everyone but Velma is surprised of who the culprit is.
- The Dog Was the Mastermind: Literally.
- Freaky Friday Flip: Mystery Inc. minus Scooby after their souls were transferred to different bodies.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Shaggy mentions that "But you don't need to know what 'Voulez-vous coucher avec moi' to love that song!" Kinda justified in that it is in a song, but it still means 'Do you want to sleep with me?'.
- Live Action Adaptation
- Let's Split Up, Gang!: The team decides to go off on their own for a while to investigate diffrent aspects of their new mystery.
- Magic Skirt: Linda Cardellini had her skirt taped to her legs so it wouldn't flip over in the scene where she (as Velma) dangles upside down by one foot in a scaffold chain. This was Warner Bros.' edict to help preserve the "family film" integrity.
- My Name Is Not Durwood: Fred can't ever say Mondavarious' name correctly. Though funny enough he does say it properly once.
- Noodle Incident: According to Fred about Scooby:
"This is more embarrassing than the time you started cleaning your beans at Don Knotts' Christmas party."
- One-Winged Angel: Scrappy after absorbing the souls.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
Shaggy: "Like, dude..."
Scrappy Rex: "WHAT?"
Shaggy: "You're a bad puppy!"
- Shout-Out: Upon being thrown out of the Mystery Machine, Scrappy-Doo yells at them as they drive away, saying that he'll get his own show because he's "as cute as a Powerpuff Girl!"
- Totally Radical
- Wham! Line: Mystery Inc. deduced that the villains need a pure soul for their plans. Fred wonders where they are going to find a pure human soul.
Velma: "I didn't say human."
Daphne: (having just overpowered Zarkos) "Now who's the damsel in distress?"
Zarkos: "Me?"
Daphne: "Straight up!"
- Who Would Want to Watch Us?: Shaggy mentions how Creepy Castles always have suits of armor that turn their head, Daphne has to ask how many times has it actually happened.
