The film also starred Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, reports Variety. Gellar said all four actors signed onto the James Gunn-scripted film because it was "less family-friendly," only for the theatrical release to remove a lot of the risque moments.
"There was a steamy kiss. It got cut. There was an actual kiss between Daphne and Velma that got cut," Gellar said. "I feel like the world wants to see it. I don't know where it is."
Gellar also revealed that an insult Daphne made to Fred about him being gay was also cut from the 'Scooby-Doo' theatrical release.
"There was a great line too that I'll never forget," Gellar said. "Daphne and Fred were having a fight and I yelled at him, 'That ascot makes you look gay!' I slam the door [at him]. They cut that, too. I think that was the reason I signed onto the movie. It's something everyone's thought about for a long time. There's always been an implication about Fred being interested in both parties. It all got cut."
