Continuity[]
- Two of the tourists buying from Jared Moon resemble Fritz and Helga from the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore, but the former has gray hair instead of black and the latter isn't wearing her glasses.
- Additionally, the villain rant "meddling mainlanders" rather than the usual "meddling kids," is from the same episode.
- This is the second time Shaggy and Scooby have been chased by a boar, the first time being in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You episode A Tiki Scare is No Fair. However, instead of getting knocked to the ground, the boar goes after the saved ice they dropped.
Notes/trivia[]
- One of the background characters, re-uses Julian Libris' model from the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode The San Franpsycho, he can be seen in one scene riding his tour bike, leaving Hanahuna.
- The opening song was sung by the famous Hawaiian singer, Don Ho. Dick Dale also sang for the movie, and was credited as a "special music guest" with Ho.
- The closing song was sung by Tia Carrere, the voice of Snookie Waeawa.
- Even though the movie was released in 2005, it has a copyright year of 2004. This suggests the movie's production was completed in 2004, but was not released until early 2005.
- This was one of Ray Bumatai's final roles.
- While the Mystery Machine doesn't appear, the gang's rental has the same colour scheme.
- When Daphne is surfing, both the bikini she wears and her surfboard have a flower design similar to the Mystery Machine, but in purple and pink.
- Daphne surfs "goofy footed", i.e. with her left foot at the back of the board. This is unusual for a right handed person. Shaggy also favors this stance but sometimes just stands on the board both feet close together, particularly when Scooby-Doo is steering. Interestingly, the Wiki-Tiki switches between surfing stances at different points in the chase.
- The door gag is done using tunnels off a large cavern in the volcano.
- Here it is mentioned that the middle name of Fred is Herman.
- Adam West was the original Batman actor who ironically never got to play Batman in a Scooby film, but was able to voice Jared Moon.
Miscellaneous[]
- Disguises: Scooby as a hula dancer; Shaggy as Hawaiian musician.
- Scooby Snacks bribe: 1.
- "Zoinks" count: 1.
- "Jeepers" count: 3.
- "Jinkies" count: 0.
Cultural references[]
- The skeleton that Shaggy and Scooby see in the Wiki Tiki's lair has the same clothing as Gilligan from the TV series Gilligan's Island.
- One of the policemen who arrests Manu resembles Jack Lord, who starred in the TV series Hawaii Five-O.
- When Velma controls three Tiny Tikis at one point, they make poses similar to the Three Wise Monkeys.
- Released less than three years after Disney's Lilo & Stitch (and the first live-action Scooby film), Hawaiian culture is prominently displayed as was in the previously mentioned films.
Adaptations[]
- On January 1, 2005, Scholastic published Aloha, Scooby-Doo! Sticker Storybook.
- On February 1, 2005, Scholastic also published a regular novel and a 8x8 book, written by Suzanne Weyn and Jesse Leon McCann, respectively.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- The first shot of one of the tourists telling Ruben why it's a good time to leave, the writing on the left side of Laluna Real Estate is backwards.
- The large boulders that knock the Wiki-Tiki down during the scene where Shaggy and Scooby act as bait suddenly disappear.
- During the scene where Fred, Daphne and Velma supposedly knock the Wiki-Tiki down into the lava, as they approach Shaggy and Scooby, Scooby has two heads for a few frames.
- Shaggy says that Scooby is hanging "20", but he is seen to have 16 toes rather than 20.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- The opening scene follows a hummingbird along a Hawaiian coast. Hummingbirds are native only to the Americas. The Hawaiian analog, called honeycatcher, looks quite different.
- Fred doesn't know how to land his hang glider, despite entering in a hang gliding contest in the The Scooby-Doo Show episode Hang in There, Scooby-Doo.
- It's really dangerous to just go hang gliding without wearing the safety gear first.
- Shaggy doesn't know what poi is, despite eating it in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode A Tiki Scare is No Fair.
- Auntie's Place doesn't seem to have anything to do with Auntie Mahina. It may relate to an Auntie Jade at one of the poi joint as the refrigerator has a child's drawing to Auntie Jade. Either that or there's three different "aunties."
- The refrigerator also has a drawing with Dylan signed on it, but it's unknown if it has any connection to Dylan's Fix It Shop.
- Ruben's company is called Laluna Real Estate, Laluna Realties, and Laluna Realty.
- When the Wiki-Tiki jumps toward the gang after they attempt to follow Snookie, Shaggy is missing right before Fred says "or not".
- Frank Welker is credited as interviewer, who appeared on the short, An Evening with the Scooby-Doo Gang, which was included as a bonus feature on the Aloha, Scooby-Doo! DVD.
- It is never once explained how Manu, as the Wiki-Tiki, is capable of shattering stone statues with his punches, nor how he is able to shoot molten fireballs from his mouth.
- The name of the Portuguese ship in 1815, "El Guerrero", is actually Spanish for "The Warrior"; in actual Portuguese it would be called "O Guerreiro". Furthermore, the soldiers are wearing armor that had been obsolete for 200 years at that point.
- It is possible that the whole 1815 story is just something Manu made up, and he got his history wrong.
