Scenes cut from Scooby-Doo

This is a list of scenes that were omitted from the final versions of *Scooby-Doo: The Movie* and *Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed*. Some of them have been included with home media releases of the films, but many have only been revealed in novel depictions or mentioned by crew members retroactively. Fans have campaigned for this footage to become available, namely asking Warner Bros. and HBO Max to release an extended director's cut of *Scooby-Doo: The Movie*, in light of them doing the same for *Zack Snyder's Justice League* in 2021.

## *Scooby-Doo: The Movie*

### Scenes released on DVD

* **Alternate Opening** - Animated intro sequence with cameos from The Creeper, Giggling Green Ghost and Frankenstein's Monster. The Luna Ghost captures Daphne and Velma formulates a plan to rescue her.
* **Flashbacks** - A set of flashbacks reveal that Fred, Velma and Daphne are each embellishing about their personal lives. Fred's book is unsuccessful, Velma struggles in therapy and Daphne still manages to get herself stuck in a tree during her martial arts training.
* **Nightmare Boulevard** - The former members of Mystery Inc. each investigate Spooky Island. Daphne becomes suspicious of the Voodoo Maestro, while Velma meets Metal Head for the first time.
* **Velma's Song** - Velma believes herself to be drunk and serenades Daphne with a rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes off You" by Frankie Valli. In an unreleased "dirty" version of this scene, Velma was also meant to take her top off and dance to the song "Insane in the Brain" by Cypress Hill.
* **Locker Room** - Daphne enters the girls locker room and finds the possessed Velma wearing makeup and dancing in a bikini with some other girls. She unwittingly mentions the demons, causing Velma to scream and send the other girls after her. This is what prompts the possessed Fred to chase Shaggy and Scooby, and presumably what alerts Zarkos to Daphne's location.
* **Daphne's Spirit Thingy** - Shaggy watches as Daphne is tied to a slab in the cavern and her soul is removed from her body.
* **Heart Attack** - Scooby fakes a heart attack in a failed attempt to be freed from his captors.

### Other cut scenes

Note that additional missing scenes and lines appear in the novelization and script drafts. This section only includes those which are confirmed or proven to have been filmed and cut retroactively.

* Unused shot of Daphne while the Luna Ghost stands next to the barrel.
* The Luna Ghost is unmasked as singer Kid Rock, before again being unmasked as Old Man Smithers.
* Extension of the gang's breakup scene. Daphne makes note of the fact her father paid for their van and equipment, and that Mystery Inc. wouldn't exist without her. Shaggy later doesn't know how to drive the van, citing that it was usually Fred's job.
* Shaggy is implied to be selling marijuana. The camera pans to reveal he actually sells clay pots.
* Fred spots a group of fans at the airport. They walk right past him, actually in awe of a cute baby.
* Fred tries talking his way into Daphne's room under the guise of protecting her. He brings his toothbrush, implying he wants to stay the night. She tells him off, eventually stating that his ascot makes him look like "a greek sailor on shore leave". In the original script, Daphne instead says that it makes him look gay.
* Extension of Fred's speech at the hotel; he has an additional line after mentioning the Christmas party incident. He states that he was jealous of Scooby's flexibility, implying he wants to perform autofellatio. Velma, still in a placebo-drunken state, interrupts to tell Scooby that his last name is slang for poop, thus his name means "Scooby-Poop". The lights begin to flicker and Fred calls it a simple electrical failure.
* Fred (in Daphne's body) and Velma find maps tracking possessed U.S. government officials. Here, Fred uses Daphne's intelligence to figure out the demons' intentions for world domination.
* Fred (in Daphne's body) proposes having sex with Daphne (in Fred's body) while they're still body-swapped.
* Velma (in Daphne's body) passionately kisses Daphne (in Velma's body) in hopes it will swap their souls back.
* Shaggy asks if he can eat the Voodoo Maestro's dead arnuki beast.
* Extension of Shaggy's speech outside the Voodoo Maestro's home. Velma says that she's too scared to be a hero and Shaggy reminds her of the time he overcame his fears to rescue Daphne from Chickenstein. Later, they each take and eat a Scooby Snack.
* Intercut with the ending tavern scenes, the coast guards at Seaway Tower Southport and a police officer at The Pentagon are shown to be performing the same chant as those possessed in the tavern. Later, they each have their souls return to them. The scene has been reported as a post-credit sequence in which demons infiltrate The Pentagon, but this is not something that takes place in any known script or adaptation.
* The fight between Daphne and Zarkos was originally "something like" ten minutes in length.
* Alternate ending in which Old Man Smithers is the villain instead of Scrappy-Doo, mirroring the Luna Ghost case at the beginning of the film.
* Velma promises a "Dinkley fist sandwich" and punches N'goo Tauna in Fred's defense.
* Shaggy and Mary Jane kiss after the day is saved. An alternate version where Mary Jane sneezes was used instead, in order to demonstrate the problem in their relationship (her dog allergy) and not isolate Scooby from the gang's success.
* Velma states that Scrappy attempted to use the power of the Daemon Ritus to rule the world, rather than that it corrupted him. This was line was dubbed in order to make Scrappy more of a sympathetic character.
* Daphne gives the encased Daemon Ritus to a government agent for display at the Smithsonian Institute. In the film, Fred can be seen holding the case and it simply disappears from his hand in between shots.

## *Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed*

### Scenes released on DVD

* **Wickles Hallway** - Shaggy and Scooby search the hallway of the Wickles Mansion. Using a magnifying glass, Shaggy realizes that he and Scooby both have fleas. They split up to look for clues.
* **Museum Robbery** - The 10,000 Volt Ghost short circuits the security system at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum, allowing the Black Knight Ghost to enter. He electrocutes the security guards and the Black Knight Ghosts explains his plan to steal the remaining costumes.
* **Westside Pickleackulas** - Extended version of Shaggy and Scooby's visit to the Faux Ghost. A man questions them and Shaggy fabricates a lie that they're the "Westside Pickleackulas," 50% pickle and 50% Dracula. The man believes it and tells them that he was the Cotton Candy Glob.
* **Psycho Street** - After Shaggy talks about his and Scooby's encounter with Patrick Wisely, Scooby does a creepy imitation of him.
* **Lil' Skelly Fella** - Completely CG scene of Scooby being chased by the Skeleton Men.
* **Skelly Gun** - One of the Skeleton Men is reshaped into a machine gun to attack Velma.
* **I Love You Scoob** - Emotional moment between Shaggy and Scooby after they're given the control panel. They split a Scooby Snack and say that they love each other.

### Other cut scenes

* Daphne lies to Patrick that Velma was showing her some fighting moves she had learned in Togo. Velma makes up some moves on the spot and shouts "martial arts kinds of cries" to impress Patrick.
* In the hive, Shaggy kicks off the Headless Horseman's pumpkin head and his body runs into the wall.[citation needed]
