Production Notes:

The Mystery Machine is full of the high-tech radar equipment of its day. A new Mystery Machine would be introduced for The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo in the 80's that was even more advanced.

Much of the score for this episode is from the 1966 Columbia Pictures feature film The Man Called Flintstone. A few pieces, such as the one at the beginning and when the whole gang rides the handcar, are from a year before that (Secret Squirrel and other such shows).

The story omits how Velma gets separated from Shaggy and Scooby the second time. She is with them one minute and gone the next scene and eventually discovered by Fred to whom she explains that she (like Daphne) had sat on a bench that carried her to a different place.

When Daphne says that the temple she and Fred are about to enter is a "perfect place for a witch doctor to live", the upper light colored stripe on her dress is missing.

The truck that creates smoke when Scooby is captured is clearly a reused silhouette of Freddy in The Mystery Machine.
