Better version:    • Scooby-Doo 1&2 being not so much for ...  

A friend and I marathon-watched all the live-action Scooby-Doo films and realized how much “risque” content there are in the first two. I don’t know if most of what I point out counts, or if it just makes me seem like a creep. Maybe the marathon just awakened my childhood crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar. But there are still some undoubtedly risque moments too.

On a side note, this is one of my favorite films of all time. I remembered it being kinda dumb, but after watching it after growing up it’s actually got some pretty hilarious humor and some smart dialogue. Not to mention that the scenes where Scooby interacts with the environment are handled beautifully…for 2002.

This films script was originally going for a PG-13 rating with a darker tone, and a lot more sexual innuendos and weed jokes. Shaggy was going to be a full on stoner. Daphne and Velma were supposed to a have a relationship of some kind, but, when the first cut was rated R, it was heavily re-edited into the film it is now, where most of these aspects are completely gone. Even though this film still has cleavage galore, that cut apparently had so much that they had to use computer generated content in the final cut to cover it up.

And also, yes, I do realize that the "leather boots" are actually latex boots. I fucked up, what do you want me to say?

And for the people who say "some of these are reaches," that does not undermine the ones that aren't, and also, I tried to have everything that could even, by the smallest of margins, be considered a risque, dirty, or slightly targeted-towards-people-older-than-12-years joke.
