2* The movie explicitly takes place while the gang is still in high school and the movie starts out with them in their hometown. We know from the Mystery Machine's license plate in ''[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooFrankencreepy Frankencreepy]]'' that they live in Crystal Cove (which is in California, likely near Long Beach/Los Angeles), it makes sense that they went to New Mexico in this movie as opposed to somewhere farther away, because they still need to get back to school (though you may still have to apply [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief cartoon logic]], as it would take around half a day without stopping to get from about Los Angeles to roughly Albuquerque on I-40).
3* Shaggy beats up ''an entire biker bar'' after he gets hypnotized to be braver. And nothing else. Which means he's always been ''physically'' capable of doing that, but he's been too much of a coward. If you want to go all WMG on it, how much of the gang's adventures have been Shaggy quietly arranging things so the bad guy gets caught, while pretending to be a bumbling coward? Come to think, he runs around with a Great Dane in his arms all the time, and can easily keep up with that Great Dane on foot...even though Great Danes can run at roughly the world record record speed for humans.
4** To be more realistic, Shaggy's backstory tends to have him as a gymnast. Shaggy is very lean, fast, and flexible. You don't eat as much as him and stay thin so his metabolism is through the roof. Given his choice of career, he gets plenty of exercise and by this point, a guy with a knife or a chain is probably a lot less dangerous than a living computer virus that shoots lightning, a trio of werewolves, a witch, or anthing else they've encountered so far. Plus, this is after he received samurai training among gaining other skills. All he needs at that point is to have the courage to apply everything he's learned thus far.
5* Mr Hubley's Cloudcukoolander attitude is FridgeHorror when you realize it may be a result of overexposure to his hypnosis equipment.
