This collective misremembering is known as the “ Mandela Effect” – based on the fact that many people (supposedly) believe that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s. Then, in 2017, excerpts emerged online from a “rediscovered” VHS copy of Shazaam! – with the actual Sinbad playing a genie! Unfortunately, the clip was an April Fools’ spoof, courtesy of US website CollegeHumor. Or at least the internet says he did – who knows? As a result of the Shazaam! chatter, someone Photoshopped the fake video box cover. There is a clear distinction from misremembering something and this strange phenomenon.Contributing factors include the time in 1994 when Sinbad introduced Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger on cable TV, dressed as a genie. This is just too deep embedded and clearly different than Kazaam for people to turn a blind eye, it's infuriating that something we watched as kids and have detailed memories about just disappeared, and even more infuriating is people who consistently argue it didn't exist. The movies were only two years apart, Shazaam in 1994 and Kazaam in 1996.
SINBAD SHAZAM 1994 EBAY MOVIE
No one is interested in the shitty movie Kazaam which seemed to try to compete with Shazaam, which is why most people can't flat out say it wasn't Kazaam. You also have to realize the plot for the two movies are completely different, but i guess you couldn't since you VERY clearly have no memory of SHAZAAM. This is not some bullshit people saw on the fucking internet, that's ridiculous. Wow you haven't seen the movie or know as much as you say, "feeding in to a trending post" 😂 what? We have been talking about this because it's something people remember from before computers had "trending posts" or anything else with a news feed. So you see, this whole year-and-a-half long showcase of vivid recollections and unnecessary accusations is simply due to fickle people with conflicting memories of an obscure, shitty movie. All three movies are from the mid 90s, when this so-called "Shazam" was apparently released. The two-kids-discover-a-mystical-object slant might have been derived from Jumanji (during the present-day second act with Judy and Peter), while the genie is based off Kazaam, and Sinbad's "being an annoying asshole" is from his character Myron in Jingle All the Way.
This "Shazam" idea is a mishmash of faulty memory. In fact, a majority of opinion doesn't even consider this supposed movie to be "good" or bad, just that it simply existed. On one hand, the idea of "Shazam" is touted as the "movie that 'ruined Sinbad's career that he had all copies and evidence destroyed'", while others deem it as a "beloved classic that got lost as 'we' crossed over into an 'alternate dimension'.īut which is it? Neither. You'd think it's simply people mistaking Shaq for Sinbad or whatever else, but its worse than that. The only reason why people think they 'remember' "Shazam," is because the actual Kazaam movie was obscure in itself. Hell, some people have created their own Sinbad-tinged variations of Kazaam's scenes, such as when the boy wishes for junk food in the junkyard. Shazam isn't part of a Mandela Effect more so it's exposing the sheer gullibility of an internet community.įor some perspective, it's all a game of "Let's create a troll post based on timely evidence (obviously, the ad to Kazaam being in Sinbad's "First Kid") and see how many people are baited in." Face it, the supposedly vivid - not to mention downright ridiculous - recollections of this "movie" are just people feeding into a trending post they came across on the internet, and then giving it false clout by jogging the memories of even more people, forcing them to participate. While the screenshots may look convincing, this is simply an April Fools joke, and for an important reason. It should be, but I'm going to dispel this myth once and for all.
