Notes/trivia
- 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.
- This is the second time Scooby-Doo faces a dinosaur; the first time was in the episode The Dinosaur Deception.
- Plot elements from The Dinosaur Deception were used in this episode (the setting is in Latin America, the villain in both episodes is mining precious metals, the dinosaur is a excavating machine).
- Hakimoto makes reference to the tagline of Jaws 2.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- None known.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- 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?
