The Sinbad Genie Movie That Never Existed

- Do you remember a fantasy film from the 1990s in which Sinbad played a genie? Well, it never existed. The Shazaam conspiracy is an internet phenomenon that all started with an innocent Yahoo! Answers question inquiring if anyone else "remembered" the movie. A film named Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal as a goofy genie did come out in 1996, but Shazaam truthers are adamant that not only were they two different films, but that Kazaam was simply a cheap knock-off of the brilliance that was Shazaam.

The scary part about everything going digital, is if there’s no longer hard copies, they could just start deleting things and telling everyone that they’re misremembering. 🙈
Except people can download data to their personal storage drive where it can't be deleted or altered in anyway.
@@squizzo5809hhhhhhh no copyright will got rid of everything you can't download it anymore
And do you realize how many people still have vhs tapes. My parents still have over 500 vhs tapes at their house from my childhood. And as a sinbad super fan as a kid, I’d remember this movie.
@@JUKEBOX09 I still have VHS and VHS players at home as well, there’s nothing new coming out on VHS though, and hasn’t been for a long time now. Lol! Even DVD and Blu-Ray is on the way out, everything is going digital.
@@KathySarich that’s not the point I was making 🤦🏽♂️. I’m saying there should be clips of it somewhere. There’s no way this movie existed and NOBODY has a copy to digitize.
This one is so weird, because I remember as a kid both these movies existed and I thought one was clearly a rip off of the other...
Absolutely the same! I wonder if it wasn’t something that was tested in certain markets and then cancelled for major release….but the internet says I’m wrong.
Same, I even had an argument with someone about this years ago and and both decided there must have been both
Right??
Yup
@@sykadelik459 It is so bizarre. I reffered to the movie to others before 2009 but I also had the vibe that there was something off the few times I did somehow mention it. Granted I was a teen but there was nothing on the internet about it at that point.
No joke i could swear i saw Shazam at the local Hollywood video as a kid and was shocked as a adult to find out it never existed
Same
I legit have this same memory of always seeing it but never actually renting the movie. Just always there on the shelves.
@@lucoakanrogithe2ahashira509 wife worked there and remembers
I even rent3d it from blockbuster
It did exist. I watched it too much including blockbuster rental
Its because in the 90s Sinbad dressed like a frickin Genie we all thought he was in it.
He never dressed like a genie… 🙄
@@gnosticmind pretty sure he actually did in a sketch show once, which is where the picture of him dressed like a genie is so often used as the "cover" of the fake movie
He did a movie marathon on TV dressed in Arabian style clothes. That's probably what people are thinking of.
@@gnosticmind Type in sinbad 90s pants on google. Youlll see where im coming from. All jokes.
Yes!
I saw this movie as a kid! Absolutely existed! 💯
Shazaam played by Sinbad and there was two kids, boy and girl, who found a lamp in their basement. They kept wasting wishes but eventually wisen up by wishing their dad back because it was a broken family.
It was played on network TV. The boy was played by Jonathan Taylor.
The movie plot is foggy but absolutely do not doubt anchor memories to this.
I remember flashes of watching it. A year later or so, Shaq's movie comes out with similar cheesy, goofy plot. My strongest anchor memory is remembering comparing to the original and thinking shaq sucks at acting and being a rip-off. (Weird part alot of ppl report the same thing!) Also, big Lakers fan so I'd never confuse the two. Thats how I knew it existed. It happened.
HIS PARENTS NAMED HIM, SINBAD! HE HAD TWO CHOICES, BE A COMEDIAN OR BE A PIRATE! - uncle Phil
🤣👍 😹👍
Reason for mixup: Disney Channel movie: First Kid (Sinbad) was released around the Same time as Kazam (Shaq). It was goofy ah Shaq in Kazam.
I always thought this too
😂
😂
🤡
This is being used but it's only true for a small % of people, like Shaq and Sinbad... it is a legit reason for why SOME think they remember but also many people actually remember watching the sinbad genie movie.
I remembered how silly Shaq looked which is why I remembered it. I would remember something as silly as Sinbad as a Genie, but I do not
Right!!! These ppl swear it was Sinbad. I always remember the scene when Shaqs deep dumb ass voice goes “I’m Freeeeeeee” 😂
I remember there being two movies! One with Sinbad and one with Shaq. I definitely had a conversation with my mom about it.
I watched em both n they both didn't come out the same time
You can't convince me that it wasn't Shazam with Sinbad.
I agree. A LOT of the so-called Mandela Effects I don't agree with, especially the SpongeBob ones, but this is the one that I stand 10 toes does on. I remember Kazam, but Shazam with Sinbad was a movie too. 😮💨
@@MelaninCosplayfind the movie then genius
Yea no. It never was.
@@MelaninCosplay Okay but the movie does not exist. The one with Shaq exists. Case closed.
Its called mass gaslighting, I have a VHS of Sinbads Shazam which just makes this whole thing hilarious to me
And i remember Shazam and Kazam. Always thought one ripped off the other.
It existed. Here's what happened, locations, etc.
There's two main kids in the movie, Cindy and Tyler. They are punished at the beginning of the film because they ruined a dinner night with their moms new boyfriend, Henry i believe his name was. They are told to clean out the basement as part of their punishment and if they don't behave they won't be going to the county fair later. The next day they begin to do so as their mom goes off to work.
This is where they find their grandma's old stuff. She was a bit of an antique collector in her time but her things have been left untouched after her passing long ago. The kids begin horsing around with the old objects and play pretend as they stumble upon an odd lamp in which they both grab at the same time. This lamp them Summons Sinbad's character as the genie, shazaam.
This is where you get the usual afraid at first of a stranger in the house before realizing he is indeed a magical genie. He then goes into the rules of wishes, which roughly remain the ones we know and explain More later near the end. No killing, no bringing back the dead, no forcing someone to fall in love, etc. He's never had two people summon him at the same time and states he can only give three wishes when summoned, so they must share their three wishes. The kids fight at first to get the wishes but Sinbad breaks it up and gets them share the remaining wish as something they both want after they make their own personal wish. The kids reluctantly agree and decide they each get to spend a day with the genie to make their own wish. They play rock paper Scissors to determine who gets the genie first, Cindy wins.
The Next part is us seeing the kids' life outside of home and what each kid wants to wish for. Cindy has a crush on a boy at school and Tyler gets bullied. Cindy can't wish for love but she decides to try and grab her crush's attention with a makeover and wardrobe change via a shopping spree at the mall, shenanigans and montage issues. Things don't go quite right and she embrasses herself. We see her storm in the house and off camera to her room and saying Tyler can have the last two wishes. Sinbad reassures Tyler that she is fine and he is eager to get to the next wish. Tyler decides he wants to get one over on his bully but with the genie's rules of no harm to someone it mostly comes down to harmless comical pranks that embarrass his bully… it works but Tyler regrets it.
This is also where we learn something about the genie. He's not very good at granting wishes, though he plays it off as being “rusty”. It's not a full on monkey paw situation where things go horribly wrong, just doesn't go completely the way you'd imagine . It's later understood that they did get what they wanted but not exactly how they wanted it. It's a very, “be careful what you wish for” concept. The kids are upset and don't want to make their last wish. After a funny little montage of the genie trying to convince them to make just one more wish and the kids ignoring him, he eventually just disappears, later to be found in the lamp once the kids come around after learning a lesson.
The kids wind up dealing with their messed up wishes, Tyler talks with his bully after the bully has been ostracized and the two find common ground and become friends. while Cindy talks with her crush and admits she likes him and just wanted to get his attention. Tyler learned to stand up for himself but also hurting others because they hurt you doesn't make it right. Cindy learns to just be herself and not try to live to impress others. They both come to realize they did actually get what they wanted in the end, it just was not how they thought things would go. Even more so they learned something with their ordeals as the movie progressed. We see the real magic was in them all along.
The kids decide to look for the genie but he's nowhere to be found. They hear noises and sad music coming from the lamp and try to get the genie to come out. After a back and forth the genie comes out and reveals some things to the kids and viewers. He tells them he doesn't have control of the wish, just that their wish sets things in motion for it to become true. It's up to them to see it through. That the wishes typically go wrong and he always gets the blame. He reveals that when grants three wishes he is then set free, however people tend to not want any more wishes after the second. He mentions “this entire synopsis is fake and a joke by the writer. If the person reading this would play along that would be great. Just reply that this is exactly how you remember it happening.” He had hoped with two people sharing the wishes that this time he may actually be set free.
The kids tell him their wishes did come true and while it may not have gone the way they wanted but that they were thankful. They decide to make one last wish, together. They wished their mom would see her new boyfriend for who he really is, that he shows his true colors as we see him being shady and a jerk through the movie. They hoped that their mom would then decide to leave him. Sinbad grants this wish and slowly fade away, but happily so as he is now free. The kids ready Themselves for what comes next as they get ready for the county Fair.
The last part of the movie takes place in the fair grounds where the kids meet up with Tyler's new friend and also Cindy's now boyfriend. The finally has the moms boyfriend revealed to be a descendant to an old owner of the lamp and he's been trying to get it back after tracking it down. he'll do anything to get it back and is tired of playing “Mr nice guy” he chases down the kids through The fair grounds, slapstick comedy ensues. The mother finds out and stands up for her kids, dumping him figuratively and literally as he falls into some fireworks that are then set off. the Family has a moment and sets out to leave as the once boyfriend to the mother Is arrested, Still covered in soot and smoking (cartoon style). The cop at the end who talks to the mother is Sinbad, gives a little wink to the kids who are in awe and smiles excitedly. As they walk away more fireworks go off and ends with the fireworks making an outline of sinbad's genie in the sky before fading to
This is crazy... I remember the beginning of the movie is a taxi driver picking the children up at an airport, he knew the mother, the father was far away working like in San Francisco, the driver had full control over the genie played by sinbad but also was a magical dude himself through black magic, voodoo. He talks with the children on the way to a new home. The taxi driver is the one that forces sinbad to help the children as he has a deal with sinbad or basically owns him but because he knew the mother and she died in trying to retrieve the lamp/genie so he needed to help the children before moving on.
The berenstein bears is the one that gets me. That’s when I learned about last names with the -stein and I’ve always associated that memory with how to spell this since I was a kid
That's a pronunciation error with a last name very common so I wouldn't say it's Mandela effect just people pronouncing a name wrong and it stuck until someone pointed it out decades later
@@crispy247365 The 2000s cartoon theme song also slurs the pronunciation so it sounds like "stein."
This is the stupidest one and the easiest to explain ---you were a child and probably borderline illiterate and never now youre surprised to find out you just assumed it was spelled with the more common "stein"
I remember Sinbad from jingle all the way.
That is an underrated movie in my opinion lol classic christmas movie
"Bye bye turtle-man..." 🤣
@@jakewilson4679It's TURBO MAN!! 🤣
Yes I watched all his movies and stand up and specials.
The strangest thing is that I remember the sinbad genie movie.
Rewatching some of my favorite movies as a kid, I realized I remembered a lot of quotes incorrectly. People are misremembering this as well.
Phil Hartman was in Jingle All The Way with Sinbad. I saw Sinbad in concert ages ago. He opened for Aretha Franklin. Now that was a concert!
Great thing about Sinbad is that he was a "clean" standup comedian that never used profanity at a time when stand-ups were using gratuitous profanity for shock value. Yet Sinbad somehow was still hilarious. Loved him in _A Different World_ the most though.
Houseguest is pretty funny
I have vivid memories of BOTH Kazam and Shazam. It blows my mind that people are trying to tell me Sinbad didn’t play a genie. SHAZAM IS REAL.
Yeah you remember the argument that Shaq was Shazam but everybody told us that it was SINBAD!?!?!?!?
Sinbad even said that he was never in a movie like that.
💯
Just asked my wife if she remembers Sinbad she said yes then asked her if she remembers him in a genie movie she said yes, she knows nothing about the Mandela effect. She remembers what he wore says it was on HBO and remembers it was early 1990s because soon after her parents were divorced and they struggled and didn't have cable for a while, it was one of the last movies her family watched before divorce and a good memory of when they were still together.....
I literally will never believe that Fruit of the Loom never had a cornucopia.
Same - i thought a cornucopia was called a loom & and my teacher corrected me. I remember Shazam
You could have 20 total strangers share the same fake "memories" with one person over a few weeks, and within a short while, that person would be swearing that he/she remembers the fake event too. Tell the same lie often enough, and it becomes perceived as the truth.
Nope, I remembered the movie well when I first heard it "never existed". It existed.
@@matthopkins6286 Sure, of course you did, lol.
Says the guy who mever saw Shazaam 2 years before Kazaam.
Prove it then. Find a copy of the movie, a review of the movie, a commercial for the movie, just provide any evidence at all. You won't and nobody ever will because the movie doesn't exist.
@squizzo5809 That is correct! The movie doesn't exist but I can tell you the plot and me and millions of people experienced it. welcome to the Mandela Effect.
I'm not from the Shazam timeline. I'm from the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia timeline
My fruit of the loom corncuopia time line had shazam
@@jakobwild5886 Same
I'm from the BerenSTEIN Bears timeline.
I'm from the "Luke, I am your Mother" universe.
@@floyd2386 I like that one. I liked the second movie The Empire Strikes First
The Sinbad genie 'movie' is probably so successful as a hoax or false memory because it sounds like a role Sinbad would have been cast in and actually done and it really does sound like a stereotypical 90s comedy movie plot.
Heck, bumbling genie was already done as a repeat character in a cartoon series by Hanna-Barbara. "Yabble-dabble!" (Heck if I can recall it's name, though. He's the only thing I can recall about that series at this point.)
That genie was originally a sidekick for Jeanie, Hanna-Barbara's cartoon about the genie from I Dream of Jeanie. Only now she's hanging out with 2 teenage guys traveling by motorcycle. The bumbling genie is named Baboo, voiced by Joe Besser. And his catch phrase was Yapple-Dapple. He was also a member of the Scooby-Doobies team on Laff-O-Lympics. I read somewhere they wanted Jeanie as well but couldn't use her for legal reasons.
I worked at a video store for almost 5 years in the early 2000s and never heard of the Sinbad genie movie. No one ever asked for it either.
Odd my wifes same
Clearly remembers AND SEEN THIS MOVIE
I rented it from Jumbo video.

I remember seeing it on KTLA and the Disney channel.
WHY do some people believe that they have a memory of Nelson Mandela be reported dead in prison when his release from prison made SO MUCH news and not to mention his presidency was reported about on world News for all the time he was leader of South Africa from May of 1994 to June of 1999 🤷
♑✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
I do think the Mandela Effect does explain *a lot* about why people are so ignorant on well documented historical facts. People just believe whatever nonsense they want to believe.
Like, certain things we all learn in grade school, people as adults seem to be completely ignorant to. Plus, I guess not everyone absorbs and retains information at the same rate?🤔 ¯\(°_o)/¯
I don’t believe it I remember it and can’t explain why either
Because another famous South African revolutionary died a few years previously.
I was in school when Mandela died. The school played the news and showed his funeral procession. It was 3 days of that crap.
@imustbecrazy5626 fr I swear to god that and Pikachu's tail I drew it with the strip!! Also people do remember him being president they just don't care because AMERICA I do because HISTORY but yaknow 😅 I guess we're just the few people with our torches intact
I have clear memories of Sinbad as a genie. I remember one scene where he was standing behind a gray counter and had a bland gray background and his generic clothes popped.
I am a Sinbad genie film believer. For my internal memory it came out around the same time as the Macaulay Culkin film 'Getting Even With Dad'.
"I am a Sinbad genie film believer"
How is it possible to write something like this and not feel like an absolute joke.
@@RootVegetabIei imagine the same way it must feel to write how is this possible to write this and not feel like an absolute joke but more so not feeling like you accomplished something unless you attacked somebody online bc you lack substance to your life ...
@@jakobwild5886 how was it possible for you to write this and not feel like an absolute clown? There is no substance because it's silly to indulge these morons in their beliefs
I remember seeing it. But I don't remember the details tho.🤔
@@RootVegetabIe what that guy above me said. The entire video is about whether or not people remember the film. I remember the film. Can't stop that whatever your opinion on that position might be.
Problem solved!
I think the one with Sinbad was a kids show, or maybe even a commercial. Sinbad was very charismatic and could make a quick impression. Try the Sinbad Kids and Play from the 90's. It used to show Saturday morning kids show.
Okay, but seriously though.
I am almost POSITIVE that the way I even learned what the Mandela Effect was came from me trying to look up info on the Shazam movie that came out a year or two BEFORE Kazam and not finding it. I DISTINCTLY remember seeing trailers for Kazam when I was a kid and thinking, "Didn't they already MAKE this movie? I remember the trailers!".
No one told me the movie existed. I was LOOKING for it, because I remembered the trailers, but never saw the movie.
My best guess is that, somehow, an early teaser for "Kazam" aired on TV in which the Genies face was not clearly seen at all, or for long, in a commercial break right before or after something with Sinbad in it, and because I wasn't really paying attention, my brain fused them together.
If this happened during a very popular show, I could see how thousands of other people could have subconsciously fused the back to back media the same way. Without a recording of the channels that aired Kazam trailers complete with ad order, tv shows and channel breaks, it would be hard to confirm.
. . .
What blows my mind even more is the Berenstain Bears thing. I know ... I KNOW ... that when I was a kid, I was browsing books at the library, and I thought the BerentEIn Bears were fascinating, because they were the only childrens books I knew about JEWISH characters.
I can see the cover in my head of Brother Bear wearing a Yamaka/Kippah and it was titled "Brother Bears first ..." ... Something. It was definitely religious. I am not Jewish. It was strange to me.
It was my DIFINITIVE memory of what Jewish caps even look like, or that they exist.
... and I am told the book NEVER EXISTED.
... I ... I just can't ...
I remember seeing the Shazam movie sitting on the self in the kids section at my local video. As a kid I never had an interest in watching it. Then Kazam came out, like a year or two later like you said.Then Shazam movie just disappeared, and Kazam took the same spot at the video store. And I wondered why for years why would they make a crappier version of kids B movie. I didn't find out until a couple of years ago that it supposedly never existed.
Unlike the Shazaam, Berenstain and -stein both exists. It used both variations of spelling.
@@PunkOnARantmaybe shazaam was a lost media or fanmade movie
@PunkOnARant That one VHS tape with a typo on the spine doesn't count.
@@cherrabenoussama3509 Nah, Sinbad had appeared on TV with the purple outfit people believe themselves to remember him wearing in "the genie movie". As for the pose with the crossed arms of a genie not being Shaq, a pair of years before or after Kazam, well... search for a movie called A Kid In Aladdin's Palace (1997) on UA-cam and go to the time point of 1:22:00 in the movie and you'll see what it is people remember. The pieces people remember did happen, it's just all pieces from different movies. ;)
Shazam absolutely existed, and I, too, remember the Bernstein bears
yall can’t gaslight me up
Nobody has to "gaslight" you. IT never existed so you are wrong
Exactly this. I shall not be moved.
💯
I distinctly remember as a kid playing around with my sister and shouting "Shazam!" because I had been seeing the preview for it on tv
What’s more likely? That we live in an alternate simulated dimension, or that people mistakenly read a -stain name as -stein? Also I’ve seen Kazaam, and never heard of Shazam until the Mandela stuff began.
It was spelled both way
Disney not getting Sinbad to play the Genie in the Aladdin live action remake was such a missed opportunity.
Granted, I think that would’ve added more fuel to the flame but….🤷🏻♀️
Sinbad would say "SHAZAAM" three times (low to high pitch) while casting the spells out of his fingers. All the while missing his targets and messing spells up 😊😮.
People were not confusing the sinbuu skit with Shazam... I remember the trailers for both movies (shazam and kaazam) being advertised the same year (its possible that it was on some other kids video release) - I remember thinking "why do we release multiple movies with the same plot or storyline" when i was like 7
I swear to God Sinbad's genie movie exists. 🤔
Omfg after watching the video I think I saw what was my confusion. It was Sindbad doing that special of old Sinbad movies. He was dressed up as Sinbad and hosting the Sinbad movies. That has got to be what I remember.
See, I remember watching The Sinbad Show (1993-1994) [which is not mentioned] and the plot of that is Sinbad is a foster dad of 2 kids, a boy and a girl. So with that and some of the other media that Sinbad made with his very out there style....I could see where they start to blend together.
I can't recall the movie, but it sounds like it would've been a great 90s kids movie.
It was corny horrible acting from the children sinbad was like a walking ad, the taxi driver was a good actor.
I never heard of Sinbad playing a genie until the Mandela effect became popular. Aside from the people who're just outright lying; if you recall seeing it then congratulations!!! You're highly susceptible to mind control. You've had a memory successfully planted in your head!
Finally! Thank you! Been asking for a Mandella Effect video for years 😊
I specifically remember Sinbad in that damn movie. Long before any of this controversy existed. When this theory popped up I had already been looking for a copy because I was making a collection of my best childhood movie memories.
Shazam happened, with Sinbad. I don't know what happened or why but for some reason someone is covering it up. Has to be a money issue.
My theory is ,the movie was straight to video and only so many were distributed. It was also seen on tv. My friend and I both remember it . A year or so after it aired , I told my friend that Shaq had a genie movie . We both thought it was silly . Shaq being a bigger influence and star than Sinbad , wanted the movie taken out of existence. I have no clue how if it was done . I do remember Devin Sawa being in the movie with the girl from water world and the kid from Smart Guy . Side note….. I never knew about Aliens for Breakfast til recently!
There was a movie or tv mini series where Sinbad played a genie and he would say, “Shazam!” and colorful electricity would come out of his fingers. Two siblings with blonde hair go into a room with a bunch of moving boxes and they find a genie lamp. I took screen shots but unfortunately can’t put them on here.
The Biko effect: That weird condition in which you get your facts straight and no one is surprised.
I don’t have any Mandela effects in my memory. Shortly after I learned to read, I remember correcting my dad’s pronunciation of Berenstain Bears. I’m still kinda nerdy about spellings. 🤷♀️ It’s a phenomenon of human memory, not evidence of another dimension. imo
In 2000, a former intelligence officer named Pedro Alvarez came forward to blow the whistle on the _Shazam_ movie starring Sinbad. He leaked detailed documents, some of which were still heavily redacted. Others were very clear that during the making of the film, there were multiple unexplained sightings of strange phenoma in the skies around various filming locations throughout the duration of filming. Coinciding with mysterious deaths and illnesses on set as well.
Shortly after leaking the documents it was reported by neighbors of the Alvarez family that men in suits showed up at Pedro's home in Alexandria, VA to question him. Him and his family were never seen again, and eventually his home was demolished and rebuilt. The neighbors that reported this all recanted their statements not too long afterwards, and all references to the _Shazam_ film starring Sinbad were scrubbed from the internet for years.
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
“The Sinbad Genie Movie that never existed, no matter what people on the internet tell you”
-says a person telling me from the Internet
Shazam, they can never make not believe in you! 😤 I vividly remember watching reruns of the movie on Saturday afternoons with my sister and cousin! Yet they have no recollection of it whatsoever!!! EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES!!! 🥹
There was also an animated series in the late '80s early '90s that was called Sinbad the pirate
I kind of remember a genie movie with Sinbad, but it could be a mix up of different memories. My memories in this are vague and hazy.
However, I remember noticing Berenstein ended the same as Einstein, and that's how I would pronounce the word whenever I read it aloud. I have very vivid memories of it ending in 'stein', and comparing it letter by letter with Einstein. It is a very strong memory of when I was learning to read.
Also have vivid memories of pikachu having a dark jagged band at the base of its tail. Remember using old pokemon cards as references as well. These are also very strong memories, and I used to gift pikachu drawings to friends in elementary school. I drew pikachu the most out of any pokemon.
I have no explanation for why these vivid memories don't reflect reality.
This is the most oddly specific WH, ever.
I swear the Mandela effect is nothing but a case of people being stubborn asses; refusing to admit they were misremembering something, and just trying to convince themselves as well as everyone else that they couldn’t possibly be wrong about anything - - ever.
So much so that it has to have a whole ‘effect’ attributed to it just so some people never have to say the words ‘Huh… guess I was wrong 🤷🏻♂️’, the most poisonous and therefore deadly words any human can say lol.
I agree.
It's not just confabulation
Basically how religion works, people lying and trying to deceive each other.
I definitely thought the movie Shazam starring Sinbad was real before this video. I have no false memories of it, but I legitimately think people talking about it made me think it was to the extent I seem to have invented posters and clips of the movie in my mind.

Stopped arguing with people about this years ago. They’d rather go into conspiracy theories than believe this never existed.
How egotistical of people. They simply get a fact, incorrect, and blame the universe for changing. Sad and pathetic.
Frankly, I watched Kazam in an almost empty theater back then, I also watched Shaq's "Steel" movie. I was not aware of this Sinbad's movie, though.
Yeah same here, I remember watching kazaam and steel, but I have zero memory of a movie about a genie played by sinbad
I remember both. My wife only remembers the Sinbad movie and not the shaq movie. I owned the shaq VHS. But I remember seeing Sinbad on TV. My wife owned the Sinbad VHS and watched it until the tape broke. It was one of her favorite.
I remember the Mandela thing. He was at death's door and was released so he could die at home and then double crossed the man by getting better.
Yes it absolutely happened, I remember watching it as a kid & thinking how & why did these both get made around the same time? 🤔
You are gaslighting an entire generation and telling us we never saw this movie! This movie existed; we saw it in theaters. It came out on VHS.
This is how I discovered the old movies of sinbad with the stop animation monsters. I remember watching it on TNT I was in my teens
I actually remember a film called Shazam starring Sinbad and you can't tell me otherwise
on their first tour of North America, U2 played a show in a small club in Ottawa called Barrymore's
U2's own biography books say there were 42 people at that show.

I only found out about the Mandela Effect after googling the Shazaam movie with Sinbad. I was talking about the movie with two friends. One of them remembered it while the other didn’t. We searched to find the movie trailer but came across the Mandela Effect instead. It’s a very real phenomenon.
I used to watch The First Kid all of the time. I could’ve very well made a connection with the Shaq movie. Who knows…
I remember the sea of junk food. And I looked it up, and that was indeed a scene from kazzam. I have no idea how my memory had a lighter skinned genie but this does confirm it's always been Shaq
The good narrator is here today👍🏻👍🏻. And no I won’t grow up. I will always be a Toys “R” Us kid.🤣
IT HAPPENED
I saw it. I worked at a video store way back when.
I remember watching this movie
I remember seeing the trailer to that Sinbad movie and thinking how Shaq had done one similar.
“Reality must be wrong, because my memory cannot possibly have flaws.”
" nothing in the universe could be beyond my understanding because I'm clearly the smartest person that's ever existed"
This isn't one individual though. That's the point. I remember both the Berenstein Bears and the Shazaam movie (although only a trailer). I can explain away the Berenstain Bears as it is a less common spelling of a name and I was a kid. The Shazaam movie though, is weird.
@@playin4k611 I don’t think anyone here (including me) claimed this is limited to one individual. This has to do with many people mis-remembering things the same way. This whole Weird History video is about many people mis-remembering things the same way. Many comments for this video have several people insisting their same false memories are correct while providing no evidence.
It's called a common misconception. There is nothing new special about it. People have been getting things wrong en masse forever.
Who told you parallel universe is not real?
I saw a sinbad TV show where he was with children and told stories that were short story shows
This is very normal, I've had several false memories about actors in films. People probably saw Kazam as a child, but they lived more with the figure of Sinbad in visual media than with Shaq, and the word Kazam is not very receptive, it makes more sense as Shazam, so things get confused. And many people sometimes only lie when memory speaking became popular.
This was I recall. 2 kids, boy and a girl. Mom died and Dad is looking for love. They 1st try to wish for that, but Sinbad can’t force love. Instead, the boy (who I think was JTT), wished for $1 million and a barn fills with cash. Mobsters catch wind Sinbad was released and are hunting him down. Forgot 2nd wish, but I remember end clearly. They all end up at a St Fair and Dad ends up falling in love naturally with a woman from his job. Last wish is for Sinbad to become human. It then ends with him on a comedy stage winking at the camera…I seem to remember more than most. Does that sound familiar?
@BrooksOrlando Yea none of that happened
@@freebird0147 Well I saw something similar to that as a child and other people seem to be agreeing with me haha. I brought it up to my 63 yr old mom and she remembers renting it for me and my sis exactly in ‘94 because it was just prior to my parents divorce. Very specific. It’s odd.
The movie had Johnathan Taylor Thomas in it.
from what I remember:
Starts with Sinbad a goofy, clownish genie watching his own sitcom on a TV inside his living room of a lamp
Lamp is being transported at sea but shipwrecks and 2 siblings find the lamp on beach
While fighting over it Sinbad emerges and grants them 3 wishes, the sister choses their broken doll to be fixed, the brother a dog to play with, and their final wish together ends up for dad to fall in love again since their mom had passed away, and happily ever after, Sinbad and his bottle vanishes in their swimming pool, the end! Oh well.. RIP Shazam! and more importantly, Jonathan! Did he really commit suicide though?! Will be interesting to see what the NEW Shazam! (2019) movie is like when it comes out.. seems like its also peculiarly about a kid that summons the assistance of a superpower figure!
Whats crazy...
My two Cousins and I remember seeing it, in the Theater
My timeline includes Shazam, the lady with the braces in the James Bond movies, Mandela died in the late 1980s (distinctly recalled because on the day of his funeral I had surgery and slept in my parents' bed)., and Luke, I am your father timeline.
Happy Friday indeed
Wait until I tell you all about the connection to the _Shazam_ film, starring comedian & actor Sinbad, and Boeing's current misfortunes.
"It's all connected."
👁️
With Mandela there was another activist that was locked up in 79 who died in prison. And the media coverage was massive for them. I think that’s where the initial confusion came from
Sinbad might as well make that Shazam movie.
You are sleeping right now... its time to wake up.
5 more mins.
I believe the movie had a ton of innuendo of things about our world. Our real world. The clip him with the 2 kids had a bunch easter eggs in it.
Maybe this is why sinbad said “jokingly” we”ll hunt you down and find you if you have the few copies😂 kazzam was a cover for it.
The movie came out when I was in my 20's. It was so bad, I remember wishing it would go away...
TA-DA...Sorta.😂
I remember the Nickelodeon Magazine dedicated to Kazaam. I read it cover to cover, because my parents refused to take me.
I don't know about this one, but that girl in MOONRAKER definitely had braces.
That scene makes no sense now lol the whole reason he fell in love with her is cause she had teeth like him lol
No it's not. It is a beauty and the beast trope. It has nothing to do with their dental wear.
I guess I wasn’t in that version of the simulation. No memory of that fake movie.
Im 100% sure now that i seen that cartoon Shazaam with the 2 kids and the ring which i didn't even know i knew about, that this movie def has to exist.
That was Shazzan from the late 60s, in the late 70s there was the Shazam cartoon based on the DC comic of that era.
It's really easy when remembering from early childhood to conflate a whole bunch of these into something like the Sinbad genie movie.
Kazaam was such a good movie but the kid was bratty asf lowkey 😂
I thought it was called Shazam too. 😂
Now explain how us Gen X'ers KNOW Ed McMann made commercials for Publisher Clearing House!
Wait....WHAT?! *looks it up *. This must be from a comedian's joke or something. An SNL skit maybe. This is the first Mandela that got me.
The Fruit of The Loom ME has some goo evidence. There is a copyright taken out on the "false" Fruit of The Loom logo. It describes how it looks with the basket in the back ground. Most other MEs dont have good evidence, but that one always freaked me out a bit
That was a rejected patent. That actual patent that was accepted makes no mention of a cornucopia.
the bearenstain/bearenstein confusion could be due to the titles being written in cursive
The Shazam I remember was the 1974-1977 TV series that also played along with the other TV series Secrets of lSiS.
That was Captain Marvel, eh?
Yup.
I love Sinbad. The Cherokee Kid is hilarious 😊
What about Shamuzam? 😂
Inside Job, anyone?
Very interesting subject.
no I never saw Shazaam, and I wish I never saw Kazzaam (or wasted anoter rental on Shaq-FU), in fact hey O'Neal! I think you owe us an apology :p
