This post marks the 400th Monday that a fun fact has been posted. It's hard to believe I've been posting them every week for approaching 10 years now (since October 2014). To help celebrate, a very special guest is joining us to present today's fun fact. I'm so excited to share that today's fun fact is provided by the director of Daphne & Velma, Suzi Yoonessi. Besides just this fun fact, I recently did an interview with Suzi, which I will be posting here on the film's four-year anniversary on May 22.
The scene in Daphne & Velma that takes place in a dark elevator was originally not going to be in the film. There were some other scenes originally planned to appear in its place, however, the production crew ran into some issues at the last minute and had to revise the script a bit. However, Suzi was ultimately satisfied with the final product, and enjoyed that they were able to reference such a classic trope of the franchise. "The elevator scene was a result of budget constraints and was a last-minute solution when sets needed to be cut due to budget constraints." Suzi informs. "I've always been a fan of the eyes lit up in the dark elevator scenes, so I'm happy we were able to pay homage to that Scooby Doo trope." Thanks so much to Suzi Yoonessi for sharing today's fun fact, and be sure to keep an eye out for the full-length interview I conducted with her on Sunday, May 22!

I don't, unfortunately. One of the questions I asked Suzi in the full interview is if she had any connection to the Daphne & Velma book series, and she said that the books were unconnected to the movies and she didn't know the author.

Wow, this is a bit random and quite long (probably the longest comment I've ever seen on here). I wasn't aware of any character limit, but there may be one. I'll try to respond to each of your points, but since it's so long, I may miss something:

No offence Jakob123, but that's just my Opinion about Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed everyone is entitled to their own about this. 5/9/2022 05:00:27 pm
Jakob, everyone is allowed to have their personal likes and dislikes. While you're more than welcome to disagree, I would appreciate if you'd remain civil in expressing your disagreement with other people. Thank you.

Further thoughts about Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. 11. The reveal that Heather Jasper-Howe happens to be Dr. Jacobo has little foreshadowing. It would have been better if Heather was the secret daughter of Jacobo rather than his persona. 12. Plot holes: When Velma first put on her spandex, she can see without her glasses but by the end, she can’t see without her glasses. The people at the Faux Ghost don't seem to know that their costumes were being transformed into monsters. 13. The Skeleton Men changed from menacing villains in the cartoons to gibberish speaking Minion prototypes. 14. Some jokes tend to be repeated at times, such as the joke where The Black Knight gets injured in the crotch in two scenes, first with Velma's foot, then from Fred clamping his crotch with lighting clippers, which gets rather repetitive due to the joke not really being that funny in the first place. 15. Overuse of cartoon sound effects, particularly during the potions scene. 16. There is some product placement for Burger King.

I liked Monsters Unleashed overall, other than I wasn't the biggest fan of the bodily humor jokes. I didn't necessarily care for Heather Jasper-Howe as a character either, but I wouldn't go as far to say as I hate her.

I still wished that Daphne and Velma got a movie sequel. I thought the movie was pretty good!

I thought the film was amazing, and it remains one of my top 10 Scooby films to this day. I think they set it up super well for a sequel, so I wish we could have seen one! Without giving too much away, Suzi made it sound like the option remains open for one even though it's not in development.

I hope that option stays open cause I definitely want to see what happens next! 5/11/2022 09:03:44 am
Me too! It would be cool to see a continuation that had them solving the mystery of the ghost/demon that popped up on their computer screen at the end of the film. Leave a Reply. |
