* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS9E13 the Nostalgia Critic's review]] of this film, he calls the Miner 49er a PirateGhost and mistakes the Tar Monster for an Oil Monster (although Tar is derived from Oil). He also thinks freezing the Tar is [[RealityIsUnrealistic unrealistic]], calling it a JumpTheShark moment, even though [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AskScienceFiction/comments/4njdn5/scoobydoo_in_the_second_liveaction_movie_why_does/ it is possible]].

* OrphanedReference: During a scene halfway through the film, Redbeard's GhostShip makes an appearance when the Evil Masked Figure demands the city to handover Mystery Inc while the Tar Monster is running amok through downtown. Originally, the ghost himself was going to be one of the costume's brought to life but was scrapped sometime during production.

They include the Creeper, Redbeard's Ghost, Tiki Witch Doctor, Ghost Clown, Ozark Witch, Giggling Green Ghost, Wolfman, Headless Horseman, and Chickenstein. Tests for animatronic and make up effects were done during pre-production and actors were cast to play them but before filming started, Warner Bros. cut the budget, forcing the crew to drop the monsters. Despite this, Redbeard's ghost ship appeared in the film being ridden by the Evil Masked Figure. The joust between Fred and the Black Knight was originally meant to be done with the Headless Horseman (thus explaining why the Black Knight was seen riding a horse in that scene when he wasn't earlier in the film). The cut monsters do appear in the GBA game.
