So, Teen Super Spy Deac Rivers
at last you face me
the insidious Dr. Bikini.
I pity our first meeting shall also be our last.
I hate long goodbyes, doctor.
They get me all choked up.
After him you incompetent dotes.
Cut!
Great job, Jim. Okay, swap in the stunt double.
All set, Bull?
Settle, everyone, and..
action!
Abandon this production
all who wish to live!
(Fred) 'Hollywood, California, I can't believe we're here.'
(Daphne) 'It sure was nice of your aunt'
'to arrange a studio tour just for us, Velma.'
What's the point of having a glamorous job
like chief studio accountant if you can't pull some strings.
Welcome to Piranha studios.
May I help you?
We've like come to see the movie stars.
Well, look here, you can't just waltz on to it.
Mrs. Dinkly from accounting left a drive on pass for us.
Oh, that's different.
I'm sorry, kids, it's just that security
has been tightened ever since..
Well, never mind.
You kids go on and have a good time now.
I wonder why studio security has been tightened.
Like, who cares!
As long as we're in Hollywood
surrounded by nice, normal movie stars
instead of some group of ghoulish creeps.
Here we are, stage 27.
Now remember to play it cool around these movie stars.
- Okay, girls? Girls? - I see somebody famous.
- Hi! - Hi!
And to what do I owe the pleasure
of receiving the rapt attention of two such very lovely ladies?
Are you a movie star?
I am an actor.
Alas! The thespian gifts of Roderick Kingston..
yours truly, are currently being wasted.
I'm but a mere stand in for—
Aah!
- Chip Hernandez, Jr! - Where? Where?
Aah! Will you please sign this for me.
I'm just your number one fan.
Wow! I've never seen him act like that before.
Yes, I'm quite used to it.
Bull, you can't quit.
What are we going to do without your stunt team?
Sorry, Mr. Wong.
I'll risk my neck doing any fools stunt
but when it comes to ghosts
count me and my team, out.
You must be Vincent Wong.
The famous Hong Kong action director.
More importantly, didn't he also just say ghosts?
Sadly, yes.
I started out directing this teen spy beach movie.
But it's turning into a horror film.
Thanks to that Faceless Phantom!
Faceless Phantom?
According to studio legend
ghost of the movie idol Rip Bannon
has haunted the back plot, ever since he was lost
'in a tragic fire many years ago.'
Oh, right, Rip's most famous role
was in the Deac Rivers teen super spy film.
"Spy Me a River."
The very film we're remaking.
Looks like we're not making anything.
No stunt team, no movie.
Okay! All done here, thanks.
- Bye! - No, no, no! Don't go!
We solve mysteries all the time, stay.
We'll do the stunts, we're always in crazy situations.
Right, gang?
Sure, if we were the stunt team
that would keep us close to the action.
Uh, it's a bit unorthodox.
Okay, let's get you to wardrobe.
Our costumer Vicky will make you look the part in no time.
Hold on! I have just one little word for this idea..
No, no, no!
No! No! No! No!
But Shaggy you look fabulous in this.
Blue certainly doesn't cramp your style.
I'm not worried about cramping my style.
I'm worried about breaking my neck.
Chip Hernandez, Jr. is counting on us.
I can hear his dreamy voice even now.
Shh! That is his voice listen.
(Chip) 'No, it really is that bad.'
I want off this picture, Sid.
I can't follow up a mega hit like "The Modem"
with this peace of teen fluff.
Dude, make it happen, or I walk.
I love "The Modem."
Who would have thought an exciting sci-fi picture
could take place inside a fax machine.
I wonder.
(Daphne) 'Velma, you can't suspect Chip.'
(Velma) 'Even we amazingly cute are not above suspicion.'
Yeah, like he maybe a wolf in Chip's clothing.
(Fred) Split up, Gang!
Hey, Scooby, Shaggy! What's going on here?
Like, ask him.
The phantom, well..
I'm not going to let a small detail like the ghost
of a disfigured teen idol stop me.
Let's start rolling!
Right on, Vincent. We're with you.
Scooby, where are you going?
What do you know, that spooky samurai armor.
- Good going, Scoob. - Shh!
(Shaggy) 'Hey, what's Roderick Kingston'
'doing in Chip Hernandez Jr.'s trailer.'
Hey, you! Who's there?
Let me see your lot pass.
Don't shoot!
I'm wearing studio property.
Oh, it's you two.
I heard the phantom was around here.
Hmm, I wonder what he could want.
Like, maybe a dressing room.
I guess studio phantoms don't get their own trailers.
Like, I'd rather have a limo.
It's no use, Fred.
Your head's just too big to fit into Chip's helmet.
Too much brain, I guess.
Then we're just going to have to find someone
with a smaller head.
What? Whatever it is, I'm not gonna do it.
Um! Delicious! But I still don't want to do it.
Shaggy is right.
He can't possibly do the stunt like this.
Ah! Finally.
Sanity prevails.
It's a much better stunt with a dog on the back.
Wait, wait.. This isn't in the script.
I-I didn't write this, it doesn't make any sense.
Trust me! It's better like this.
Okay, places, roll sound
and... action!
No worries, pal, we are not budging.
(Velma) 'Like I never thought I'd see Scooby-Doo'
'jump the shark.'
Abandon this film
or face my wrath!
You okay, Shaggy?
Talk about a bad facelift.
That guy had his face lifted clean off.
Did you get it? Were you rolling?
That was gold, pure gold!
That came from Chip's trailer.
Come on! Hurry!
Chip, are you alright.
What happened? What's wrong?
What's wrong? Look at my face.
My beautiful face!
'It can't be my make up. It's hypoallergenic.'
- Um, avocado. - I'm allergic to avocado.
That's it, man. I quit!
You can't walk off this movie. We got a contract.
Contract or no contract, I'm done!
- Huh! Spoiled brat. - Hmm.
Looks like the only way to get film in can today
is to shoot more stunts.
- You game, Fred? - I'm in.
Okay, Freddy, remember..
you're Deac Rivers Teen Super Spy
and you're crossing the bridge of death into Dr. Bikini's
'inferno lair.'
Half way across, you're attacked by an angry swarm of bees.
Your costume will protect you a little.
But act scared, okay?
Scared, right!
Rolling, places!
'Everyone settle and action!'
Cue bees!
(Shaggy) 'Oh, no! It's the Faceless Phantom.'
That bee suit won't protect Freddy for long.
Come on!
You'll be okay, there's first aid ointment
in the security office.
I think Shaggy and Scooby are gonna need a lot more than I do.
- Oh, ho! Honey! - Honey!
Hey, guys, look what I found.
An old scrap book filled with pictures
of classic movie stars.
(Velma) 'Looks like Old Pete's been'
'saving these clippings as souvenirs.'
(Fred) 'Look, here's a photo of Rip Bannon.'
'The Faceless Phantom himself.'
(Shaggy) 'Yeah, like, back when he had a face.'
There's a whole bunch of Rip Bannon photos.
What would Old Pete be doing with these?
Velma, you are needed on the set, right now.
(Vincent) 'Okay, Velma, we're ready for you.'
Come on! You look great.
I can't do it.
Everyone will be looking at me.
Yeah, isn't it great.
Ready for your stunt?
Oh, I was so mortified by the costume
I forgot to be nervous about that.
What am I doing?
All you have to do is jump off this ledge
and freefall until these nearly invisible guide wires
slow your drop and, voila, you're finished.
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
Do you want a Scooby Snack?
Ready, up there?
Okay, camera and action!
Here goes nothing.
Jink-i-i-ies!
Okay, everything's fine.
Perfectly safe. Falling according to plan.
That wasn't a part of the plan.
Jink-i-i-ies!
Aah! Aah!
Oh! Oh!
Hang in there, Velma.
Aah!
Okay, Scoob, let her Rip.
thud
Good catch, Shaggy!
Who would have thought the emergency
nap center I installed for Shaggy would be
used in an actual emergency.
Man, like, when I need a nap bad
that is an emergency.
That's strange, your harness and wires look fine.
It wasn't sabotage.
Like, Fred, if those are Velma's wires
whose are these?
Hmm, an extra set of wires.
Looks like Velma wasn't the only one
using special effects to fall.
That explains why the phantom just hung there for a minute
after the bridge collapsed.
Our Faceless Phantom is a phony-fake.
And you know what that means.
That we phone the cops and head to the beach.
That we flush out that make-believe mischief-maker.
Looks like the man with the van has got a plan.
I'd like, rather get a tan.
Yo, Vincent, I'm, like, back.
Oh, the prodigal star returns. Huzzah.
So, you're back to finish the movie.
Why the change of heart?
My lawyer said I had to.
Good enough for me.
(Vincent) 'People, people!'
We're about to shoot the most exciting climax ever.
So let's focus.
Daphne, you'll be doubling
for Deac Rivers' flirtatious love interest
and Russian military contact.
Major Smoochie.
You'll jump your horse over Dr. Bikini's minions
and land on the speeding train where Deac is bound and gagged.
Save him then we cut.
Roll camera, cue train, and Action!
Like, sorry, Mr. Faceless, sir.
Believe me this wasn't my idea.
Okay, gang, now!
Good work, Fred, you got him.
Oops! You don't got him!
Is there a plan B, Freddy?
Yeah! Run!
(All) 'Vincent Wong!'
I'm befuddled, bewildered and befogged.
What's going on here?
It's all very simple.
We arranged for Chip to pretend to return to the movie
in order to act as bait.
But how did you know Chip himself wasn't the phantom?
Because Chip can't do anything.
The phantom could scale walls
do acrobatics and seem to fly.
Chip can't even act.
Yeah, but check out my cheek bones.
We knew the phantom must be someone trying
to shutdown the production.
But that could still be anybody.
Yeah, "Spy Me a River."
Blawwh! Come on!
Nobody wants to make this picture.
Especially Vincent Wong
an important Hong Kong action director
dreams of making an American film
and gets stuck with this.
Then I remembered that Vincent
started his career at the Peking Opera School.
From childhood the students are trained
'to do amazing feats, which come in handy'
'in the world of Hong Kong action films'
'or creating a convincing Faceless Phantom.'
It's true, I was so excited to make a Hollywood movie.
I didn't even read the script till after I signed on.
by then it was too late.
Aah! Doesn't anybody read the script?
Then I thought if enough people quit
the studio will shut us down
and I get to direct a different movie.
So, you played up the old studio legend
about the Faceless Phantom.
Yes, I'm so sorry!
Scooby's right, you were with us when the phantom chased us
around in that samurai suit.
Yeah, I'm afraid that was me, Shaggy.
I've been keeping a close eye on every aspect of this movie.
But, like, why?
Because Old Pete is really Rip Bannon.
Isn't that right Rip?
Afraid so. You see, "Spying me a River"
was my biggest film.
I just wanted to see it done right.
'You see, way back when during that fire'
'nobody saw me get out of there.'
But my face.. I had been so handsome.
I couldn't let my public see me.
Not, not like, like this.
Why Pete? It's the tiniest scar I've ever seen.
It's barely even noticeable.
You really think so?
Oh, well, I suppose I'd rather go to jail
than to have my name on this movie.
Jail? What for? Nobody got hurt.
You were only using your mastery
of theatrical effects to scare us.
I just hated this movie so much!
Huh, join the club, dude.
Hey, maybe there's a way this could work out for all of us.
(Daphne) 'Real live movie premier.'
(Velma) 'Talk about glamorous.'
(Daphne) 'Chip Hernandez, Jr. and Vincent Wong's'
'"The Modem 2."'
Congratulations, it looks like
you've got a big hit on your hands.
Well, we wouldn't have gotten away with it
if it weren't for you wonderful meddling kids.
- And Scooby-Doo. - Hey, where is Scooby?
And nachos and, uh, jumbo popcorn.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
(Shaggy) 'On second thought.. Hold the popcorn.'
