Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase

Say what you want, I have been watching Scoob and the gang since it first aired (1966). I enjoy them all and this Chase through the past was written with an eye for long time fans and the gentle self-aware comedy we've come to love. The gang's whiz-kid friend has invented a computer game based on the antics of Mystery, Inc.(s) past cases. However a wicked game virus has been created by one of four possible suspects. When the gang is sucked into the Scooby game they must battle villains and the Virus on each level to get out. Along the way we are treated to the B-52s singing the signature theme, Roman warriors, Dinosaurs and the original monsters they fought in the first three seasons. Only this time -- they're not men in masks either. The real treat is when the gang meets themselves from the original show. (They are the actual characters in the game)Kudos for the mystery itself too. Fun clues are laid out for the ardent observer. This video marks the first of the new Scooby Movies that does not have Mary Kay Bergman voicing the red-haired beauty. Miss Bergman passed on about a year ago. Her voice is missed. The film is dedicated to William Hanna who also past away recently. If you're 5 - 14 or just a Scooby fan you will love this film!! A Scooby Snack for the eyes!!.........

This movie's plot was actually quite original. Not cheesy like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

Basically, the gang meets up with Erik, an old friend working on a video game about everyone's favorite meddling kids. However, an evil virus strikes and the gang is sucked into the video game based on their old mysteries.

Although the levels seem to have nothing to do with the actually mysteries from the series (with the exception being the final level), it's quite good! The B-52s rendition of the theme song is to die for (I'm a huge fan of the band, and that's half the reason I rented it.) and the other songs, notably Cyber Dream', are really great as well. The best scenes, though, were all from the final level. I'm not telling what happens, but you'll be surprised! I definitely recommend this.

Cross Neuromancer with In the Mouth of Madness, add a little bit of Tron, Terminator, and set it in the Scooby-Doo universe and you pretty much have the basis for Cyber Chase.

The Mystery Inc. gang go visit a college friend who has made a video game based on their exploits. But instead of enjoying the novelty they are terrorized by an entity born of a computer virus who has entered the real world. The gang are beamed into their own video game (called Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase) and are forced to play through the levels in order to catch the virus (so to speak), eventually encountering their digital selves and digital versions of classic villains from the past. Sharp viewers will recognize Cyber-Shaggy's alternate costume from the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf.

It's very clever, with loads of potential, most of which is not realized with the brisk run-time. At least you'll never get bored. It's certainly one of the most subversive and mind-bending Scooby adventures. A video game arcade featured towards the end of their titular Cyber Chase even features the Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase video game, thus making it self-referential meta-fiction within self-referential meta-fiction within self-referential fiction. Phew...get your head around that. And if that wasn't enough, it's the only Scooby-Doo animated feature to spawn its own real video game (for the PlayStation and Gameboy Advance), which would make that game self-referential fiction within...oh man, I'm getting dizzy.

Smart and tightly-written, Cyber Chase's lack of scope is the only thing preventing it from being a classic.

I ordered this movie over the Internet and recieved it in the mail yesterday. I must say I could write a book on everything I liked about this movie. First of all the new voice of Daphne was Grey Delise, she was really great. I also liked the behind the scenes that they showed afterwards. It was nice to see what the voice actors looked like and sounded like in real life. Grey Delise is very attractive. Actually, she kind of looked like Daphne, except for the fact that her hair is dark, while Daphne's is red. It was interesting to see how much work went into making this filem. Of course, we all remember the B52's from "The Flinstones" movie. They show up here to sing the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme. That was a great rendition. As for the plot of the movie itself, I really enjoyed it. Especially when they got to the last level of the games and met the cyber versions of themselves and also met all those villians. I'm really looking forward for the live-action "Scooby-Doo" movie to come out next year.

This was a movie I always wanted to get as a child growing up but for some reason I never got it. I finally brought it now and I still like watching it when I'm bored (yes 17 and still love Scooby Doo). It is very funny and entertaining, brings back great memories. I always loved Scott Ines when he voiced Shaggy and Scooby. He was always great. The rest are cool too. I cant imagine Someone else who is not Frank Welker voice Fred. It was also great seeing some of the past monsters like the Tar Monster and The Creeper coming back. The Main Villain, the Phantom Virus is a creepy monster that might make you check your closet every night. Overall the movie is great and will always be my favorite.
