A lot of nods to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. Great animation. The usual excellent performances from the regular voice cast (this was Casey Kasem's final performance as Shaggy - Matthew Lillard took over the following year). Guest voices include Kelly Hu, George Takei, and Brian Cox (the awesome actor, not that astronomer). Not the best Scooby movie by a long shot, but better than I expected. 7/10

ZOINKS! YEAT! JEEPERS! JENKYS! DAME DA NE!!! Yeah. Search up Fred's new catchphrase and you will find it. Also this movie is decent. Typical scoobydoo movie.

Daphne is relevant...she has a place that is more than bait, more than Fred's arm candy, more than a damsel in distress....in fact, Daphne is Bruce Lee. Daphne has Entered the Dragon. The juxtapose of her character is just too awesome to pass by. I can't remember seeing a Daphne like this before. I likely won't see one like this again. For that reason alone it's worth watching...but like so many others, the ending doesn't exactly live up to the start and falls flat compared to the build up. The plus side is, even at the end, Daphne has Entered the Dragon. So despite the lackluster finish that seems of so common with the Scooby Doo movies, you still get to see Daphne doing her Bruce Lee impression in a film that wonderfully parodies the master's break out film.

I have seen this movie a handful of times and each time I love it. It's got everything you could wish for in a Scooby movie. It's funny, supernatural, and includes a great mystery. There is an iconic scene in this movie that has made me laugh every time. The Japanese idea and the plot are fantastic and interesting. I wouldn't say this is the absolute best Scooby movie but it's definitely close!

Next stop Japan. In a kind of world tour of Scooby movies, this is one of the better ones for action and adventure. Creativity here mixes things up a bit over the usual robot or ghost. A lot of cliche', sure, but comic relief often leans upon such. Well worth the watch and is good clean mystery fun.

When I first came across this Scooby Doo adventure I have to say I was a bit sceptical but being a fan I was still excited to sit down and watch. In the end, I found this adventure to be a bit stale compared to some of the previous entries but I found many aspects enjoyable and fun. Scooby and the gang travel to Japan for Daphne's martial arts tournament, while in Japan the ghost of the legendary Black Samurai has returned reeking havoc on Japan. After hearing the legend of the Black Samurai and the Green Dragon, Scooby and the gang decide it is up to them to find the Green Dragon and help them bring down the Black Samurai before he takes over the world. The storyline of this film I have to say was for the most part interesting but many times was very dragged out with long periods of no action or excitement, the film focused to much on telling the back stories of the Black Samurai and the Green Dragon, while the stories were very interesting, after a while they became long and tedious. Once again we stick to the use of real monsters or supernatural beings which I always find interesting. This time around we receive a couple of interesting plot twists which will leave you scratching your head, once you think the gang has solved the mystery and unmasked another evil mastermind...think again. The jokes and gags were great, sometimes they felt as if they were pushed too much but overall not to bad. The characters were all very interesting and all had their own funny quirks which was one of the high points of this adventure. The voice acting was phenomenal, the regulars all once again do a terrific job such as: Frank Welker as Scooby Doo and Fred, Casey Kasem as Shaggy, Mindy Cohn as Velma and Grey Delisle as Daphne. Joining the cast for this adventure: Kelly Hu as Miyumi and Miss Mirimoto, Kevin Michael Richardson as Sojo and the Black Samurai, Sab Shimono as Mr. Takagawa, Keoni Young as Matsuhiro and we even get a cameo from George Takei as Old Man Samurai. All of the cast does an excellent job and really helps the movie with its entertainment. So all in all this adventure was entertaining but was a little too much reliant on back stories, and there just wasn't as much action and excitement one would want in a Scooby Doo cartoon. In my opinion, this one is definitely worth the watch and is good for the whole family. Overall Rating: ******* out of ********** ***1/2 out of ***** I would also like to add a fond farewell to the one and only Casey Kasem who retired from the role of Shaggy after this adventure, he will remain in the hearts of many as the original Shaggy and in every way was one of the best entertainers the world has ever seen.
