Notes/trivia
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- When Scooby and Shaggy first join the others in the underground tunnel the background shows sky and trees.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- The "fake phone booth" that fooled the police is a simple glass booth with an "Out of Order" sign on it. It contains no telephone.
- The gang thought they were trapped and looked for a way out when they could just follow the tunnel back to the museum. The few bricks Juan Carlos dropped down through a trapdoor couldn't possibly have blocked the wide tunnel.
