Scooby-Doo is the 2002 live action adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini and Rowan Atkinson and directed by Raja Gosnell.

After a sudden break up of Mystery Inc. the gang had gone about their separate ways for some time. Until one day they're all invited to a mysterious island to once again solve a mystery together.

Tropes used in Scooby-Doo (film) include:

Adaptational Villainy: Scrappy-Doo.
Animated Credits Opening: The movie was originally intended to have an animated opening that would transition into live action but it was cut. It can still be seen completed as a Deleted Scene.
Amusement Park of Doom: Spooky Island
Bare Your Midriff:^[context?]
Big Bad: Emile Mondavarious, who really turns out to be Scrappy Doo.
Blind Without'Em: Velma
Body Horror^[context?]
Breaking the Fellowship: The gang decides to break up Mystery Inc. and go about their own paths.
The Cameo: Pamela Anderson
Chekhov's Gag: Melvin Doo. Also, Scrappy-Doo pulling a Syndrome.
Conveyor Belt O' Doom: The opening scene.
Damsel in Distress: Zarkos says this word to word when he first captured Daphne. Not a smart move in retrospect, and ultimately ends up turned back on him (see Who's Laughing Now?).
Deconstructive Parody: The film enjoys taking apart the tropes of the Scooby Doo Universe, Daphne getting kidnapped, warning of obviously dangerous and scary locations and examining the roles of the team.
Dramatic Unmask: The opening with the Luna Ghost, everyone but Velma is surprised of who the culprit is.
The Dog Was the Mastermind: Literally.
Freaky Friday Flip: Mystery Inc. minus Scooby after their souls were transferred to different bodies.
Getting Crap Past the Radar: Shaggy mentions that "But you don't need to know what 'Voulez-vous coucher avec moi' to love that song!" Kinda justified in that it is in a song, but it still means 'Do you want to sleep with me?'.,
Live Action Adaptation
Let's Split Up, Gang!: The team decides to go off on their own for a while to investigate diffrent aspects of their new mystery.
Magic Skirt: Linda Cardellini had her skirt taped to her legs so it wouldn't flip over in the scene where she (as Velma) dangles upside down by one foot in a scaffold chain. This was Warner Bros.' edict to help preserve the "family film" integrity.
My Name Is Not Durwood: Fred can't ever say Mondavarious' name correctly. Though funny enough he does say it properly once.
Noodle Incident: According to Fred about Scooby:

"This is more embarrassing than the time you started cleaning your beans at Don Knotts' Christmas party."

One-Winged Angel: Scrappy after absorbing the souls.
Pre-Mortem One-Liner:

Shaggy: "Like, dude..."
Scrappy Rex: "WHAT?"
Shaggy: "You're a bad puppy!"

Shout-Out: Upon being thrown out of the Mystery Machine, Scrappy-Doo yells at them as they drive away, saying that he'll get his own show because he's "as cute as a Powerpuff Girl!"
Totally Radical
Wham! Line: Mystery Inc. deduced that the villains need a pure soul for their plans. Fred wonders where they are going to find a pure human soul.

Velma: "I didn't say human."

Who's Laughing Now?:

Daphne: (having just overpowered Zarkos) "Now who's the damsel in distress?"
Zarkos: "Me?"
Daphne: "Straight up!"
