Proving just how strong the delusion can be. Fans insist it’s real, even when Sinbad himself tells them it isn’t. In recent years Sinbad has been plagued with questions surrounding the mythical film. The same year that Sinbad flooded our television screens with four feature films.
Shazam 1994 movie#
But the Shaquille O’Neal movie Kazaam is, unfortunately, very real and released to cinemas around the country in… 1996. You want to know what score Sinbad’s Shazaam has? None. It only grossed 19 Million on a budget of 20 Million and currently holds a devastatingly low FIVE PERCENT rating on the popular review site Rotten Tomatoes. Max gets the standard three wishes, which he promptly uses to make junk food rain from the sky, like any reasonable twelve-year-old would do. The plot follows a 12-year-old boy named Max who finds a Boombox… oh yeah, that’s 90’s, containing a magical, five-thousand-year-old genie named Kazaam. A movie starring Shaquille O’Neal playing, you guessed it, a genie. One possible answer for the confusion is this… Right? There must have been some small, repressed moment from our youth that could have spurred this memory for so many people. It must take more than one person on the internet saying a movie existed for thousands of people to conjure false memories from their childhood. People are connected in a way now that they never were back in the ’90s. When you take that concept and throw it into the internet, there is no limit to the reach of that suggestibility.

Witness number 1 might think to themselves, “You know what… I think the shirt WAS green.” And as a result, give a different description to police than they originally would have. But when speaking to witness number 2, they claim to have seen a suspect with black hair and a green shirt running from the scene.

Perhaps witness number 1 saw a suspect with brown hair and a blue shirt running from the scene. Not because there is malice intent, but because memories can be swayed and influenced without even realizing it.

This is to keep the witnesses’ memories free from suggestion of the other witnesses. When interviewing witnesses of a crime, officers will ask the witnesses to not discuss the incident amongst themselves and will separate them when possible. False memories are very real, and people are insanely susceptible to the power of suggestion. But how is it possible that thousands of people could have memories of something that never happened? Memories that they claim are detailed and true? Well, it’s more common than you may think. So, it’s easy to see why the actor is so embedded in our childhood nostalgia. In 1996 alone the comedian, whose real name is David Adkins, starred in Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco, First Kid, Jingle All The Way, and The Cherokee Kid. According to these believers, Shazaam is supposed to have starred 90’s sensation Sinbad as a bumbling genie who is accidentally summoned by two children during a time of grief. But that doesn’t stop a large percentage of 90s kids from believing that it was… from somehow having memories of watching a movie that they could not have possibly watched. It was never filmed, never released, and never seen by anybody.
