No.
Because it didn't exist.
The closest movie is Kazaam with Shaq, which is pretty much literally the same movie that people describe.
No idea where this came from. but it's another case of people having flawed memories and coming up with parallel dimensions as a theory instead of the fact that human memory is terribly flawed.

Look, I am a lover of Sinbad and his films. And like most sane individuals, I wish he had made more. But he never made a genie movie, much as I wish he did. That said, I am pretty sure he dressed like genie for a sketch once, and if you want to get more complicated I can help. Sinbad starred in Houseguest with Phil Hartman, on an episode of Newsradio Phil Hartman dressed as a genie to shill some weird product. So what it comes down to is people cannot tell Sinbad and Phil Hartman apart.  |

Also, Mandela didn't die in prison. That was Stephen Biko, who died in police custody.
It's an interesting theory, but it's just mass delusion that gets multiplied by the internet. We have too many real things to be concerned about right now.

Cherokee Kid is the best thing Sinbad has ever been attached to.

I think the confusion comes from the name Sinbad. People hear Sinbad and think of Sinbad the Sailor who looked a bit like a genie.

I bet you could completely make up a fake movie or tv show, and people will swear up and down that it existed.

Cherokee Kid is the best thing Sinbad has ever been attached to. Such an underrated movie. I think the confusion comes from the name Sinbad. People hear Sinbad and think of Sinbad the Sailor who looked a bit like a genie. Yeah, and you couple this with being familiar with Kazaam and you get people who misremember by conflating the two. And the fact that Sinbad was in a lot of family movies. |

I don't know why this irritates the shit out of me.
It could be because I remember literally taking my cousin to see Kazaam because she was a big Shaq fan.
It could be because I remember Sinbad wearing a genie-like outfit when he was in an All That sketch as Ishboo's father.
It could be because "Shazam" is another name for Captain Marvel and is now the name of a goddamn comic book.
I mean...I didn't even know people literally thought Mandela died in prison.
Just..huh? We have the internet. Why....? Huh?

People with bad memories come up with goofy parallel universe theories instead of accepting that the human mind is horribly flawed. also Technical DC's Captain Marvel book was pretty much always SHAZAM. edit: though  I could see that second part. |

I asked my mother about this and she couldn't believe I remembered it. She said I used to sit in front of the TV tuned to static every day and say I was watching "Shazzam."

There was also that 60s Hanna Barbera cartoon Shazzan which was also about a genie. Come to think of it, H-B also had a cartoon called Sinbad the Sailor. So people are basically confusing (relatively obscure) H-B shows.
