Notes/trivia

• TBA

Cultural references

• References are made to the film The Gremlins, during the teaser; the pawn shop where Mai Le steals the ring, has a creature that bears a strong resemblance to the pre-mutated Gremlins/Mogwai, specifically Gizmo the original and only benevolent Gremlin. The pawn shop itself also bears a strong resemblance to the antique store where Gizmo was bought.
• The wizards resemble Lo Pan from the film Big Trouble in Little China, who was also played by James Hong.
• Fred makes a reference to Pokémon, when he throws Scooby a Scooby Snack, and yells, "Scooby Snack, go!"

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• At first it looks like Velma was not invited to the Blake's dinner party, but then she suddenly appears in the aftermath of the Red Wizard's attack. There are enough place settings for her to be there, so it could be assumed she ducked under the table at the first sign of danger. The initial seating can be reconstructed as follows:
  • Head of table - Barty Blake
  • Host's left - Nan Blake, Fred Jr., Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, Mai Le
  • Host's right - Fred Sr., Delilah, Velma, Dawn, Dorothy, Daisy
  • Foot of table - Mr. Wang
• Throughout the episode, Mai Le's eyebrow color changes repeatedly, including brown, blonde, and a darker brown.
