Notes/trivia

• This is the second time Scooby-Doo faces a dinosaur; the first time was in the The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show episode, The Dinosaur Deception.
  • Plot elements from The Dinosaur Deception were re-used in this episode (i.e. the setting is in Latin America, the villain in both episodes is mining precious metals, the dinosaur is an excavating machine).
• This is the first episode not to have the Mystery Machine.

Miscellaneous

• Disguises: Scooby dresses as a female Gigantosaurus to lure out the Dinosaur Spirit.
• Clues:

Cultural references

• The episode is a partial homage to the 1993 film, Jurassic Park; the dinosaur roar used in this episode is very similar to the one used in Jurassic Park.
• Hakimoto makes reference to the tagline of the film, Jaws 2.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• The Dinosaur Spirit's shape and size changes in most scenes it had appeared.
• When Scooby was in a dinosaur disguise to lure the dinosaur, the next shot shows his disguise has disappeared.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• "Oloroso" means "scented" in Spainish.
• When Shaggy steps on the gunk in the mine, Velma immediately assumes that it is coprolite (fossilized dinosaur feces), but the only known samples are fossilized and rock-like in shape. What took Daphne so long to recognize it as bat guana, and why didn't Velma know this?
• One of the skeletons in the museum had the body of a Stegosaurus, but its skull resembled a Triceratops.
• It was never explained, how the mining machine, designed for Moon operation, could work in Earth gravity.
  • It also wasn't explained how Velma knew where to look for the alpha machine.
