Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

 * The ending of the last DTV strongly implied that they would go back and regain their reputation and prove the Sheriff wrong, all of which is ignored.
 * The gang have no knowledge of where there vacation is. They just jump on the boat, which could be going anywhere, to the last place they'll ever see daylight for all they know.
 * Flashbacks are shown back to the gang's previous time on the island, but Velma keeps ranting about not believing everything she saw and that it whole comes down to being an unsolved mystery. All of this makes her act somewhat unhinged from reality.
 * Because ten or so other direct-to-videos have come during and this one, where they have been regressed from adults back to teenagers, the latter has to retcon the differences, no matter how unconvincing they are, so Daphne being the host of her her own show is changed to her being on a school project, which has apparently gained interest from the same talk show host, Chris.
 * There was a real cat person among the fake ones, which was left a mystery, as if to leave it open ended for the audience to make up their own idea if the cat people are real or not, but it was already clearly established that the cat people were real, leaving the addition of a mystery cat person pretty redundant.
