Fun fact: One of the bullies near the beginning is played by Efrain Ramírez, best known as Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.
Well gosh
*Napoleon Bonafrog* (TMNT voiceover;) )
@@thestwinner680 That was Jon Heder.
Also Wade Robinson.
Didn't know that
James looked preoccupied with trying to figure out how to fit Shaq in the store
well this movie existed
Should have had Shaq instead of Will Smith in the new Aladdin movie.
FR
No they should've had Sinbad.
Any day!
Why?
Shoulda been sinbad
19:47 damn Steve aoki's looking rough
Hai
After Kazaam I'm still waiting for the day for you guys review Space Jam
No one say shit about that movie Space Jam was awesome
I would love to see that, especially their thoughts on Lola Bunny.
Gonna fly like an Eagle....
@@TheSonOfTheDragon Lola is smoking hot
@@LUCKO2022 Calm down I wasn't mocking her, In fact she's one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters. I just like seeing people's reactions to her.
Arabic speaker here. The text doesn't mean anything, it's gibberish. They even wrote some letters backward
Who cares?
@@thechemiist14 Justin Silverman, who asked the viewers to translate the Arabic last year, which is when the comment you're responding to was posted.
Asked my buddy from work (who is a native Arabic speaker) he even said it doesn’t mean anything.
Why am I not surprised
@@lotus-prince I appreciate it dude! I only came to the comments to find out the answer to that....I thought it looked awfully symmetrical aside from the center part.
Your comment was one of the top comments and answered that so thanks so much!
it doesn't have a meaning the club's name is only gibberish and not real Arabic I tried to read it but I couldn't.
Seconding this. It's made to look like Arabic but half of it is mirrored/not actually letters.
I don't know arabic at all, but even to me the letters looked kinda odd.
It said "aloha snackbar"
I figured it would be gibberish because half of it is mirrored. It's just there to be "ethnic" and look like Arabic. The filmmakers didn't give a shit about respecting culture. 90s as fuck.
It could be Persian
Its such a shame they stopped making rental reviews
got that right 0:12
shaq always looked like he was 40
Like how Danny Devito has been 49 his entire life ha.
Yeah he has looked like the same age for years. Good for him now though, he doesn't look as old as he could
That's dope they got Will Smith for the intro
Ha.
I liked Will Smith.
Best...comment...ever
@Levi M I still don't get it unless it's an Aladdin reference
Keep the Genies name out your motha fkn mouth 👋😂
“You shat on Caddyshack,
But you love this Shaq,
You sad sack”
This quote made me laugh so hard I saw spots, but i had not felt that good all April .
Chris VanVlair it was pretty funny.
Slight chuckle worthy at most
@@austins.2495 **raspberries**
I'm Arab and I couldn't figure out what was written, it's just random letters.
Sounds like a sequel to the Mandela Effect video.
Its a prequel to Shazam 🤔
Dude, I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought exactly what you said.
@@randalgraves6979 i dont think so because the the actor said he never act in that movie before 🤔
I mean The Shazam that just came out. From DC. 😏🤨
@@randalgraves6979 lol
"You're a monster" That was some Oscar winning acting right there.
Craig from Malcolm in the Middle is back!
Lmao!!
Craig Feldspar!
supermario_2
but cooler
I hope they review BASEketball next, it'll be a timeless rental review.
SmrtPhonRtistCF they review shit films...not awesome films.
Wonder is Tony going to see the Aladdin remake. If he does, he should go to the cinema dressed like Jafar.
I mean he already has the costume.
I'm just impressed that he has a Jafar costume for some reason.
Im impressed they make kid costumes that big!
We need to diet
if they havent dont it yet, they should do "willow"
I want to see you guys review drop dead fred
i think this movie is more famous in europe as in the us... maybe
I kinda want to see him review Freddy Got Fingered
I watched drop dead Fred many times religiously as a child. It would be nice if they talked about it.
They should review The Young Ones, specifically the Bambi episode with University Challenge!
Glad to know I'm in the minority of Yanks knowing who Rik Mayall is then. The Young Ones and Bottom are brilliant.
Wow, James really had very little to contribute during this one.
James sounded like he slept through most of it. These other two guys sounded like they LIVE for this movie. Very weird chemistry here.
He secretly likes it. 😂😂😂
There's really not much to say about this movie altogether. James said it best himself, this movie is pretty generic.
james isn't funny or personable, that's the problem with this, and a lot of these videos.
@@hellmuth26 His AVGN is pretty funny. But yeah. The other Cinnemassacre videos are hardly worth watching.
11:59 what a weird transition. Like we needed a moment of silence for Shaq being killed by rain food.
yeah that made no sense, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!
An ad came right after that transition for me, that must have been why
You mean food rain xD
Justin was wearing a Game Sack t-shirt when Tony called him a sad sack.
Hence why Tony points at it when he says that.
I love all the Mandela references in the background of the Kazaam video.
A reality that NEEDS to be checked
I like how the front of the movie says "The $19 Million Comedy Hit!" Like the amount of money spent makes it a better movie...
Ahh a Cinemassacre upload that warms my heart
don't they all though
That shitty genie is bizarrely amazing and mesmerising.
PolarPhantom
beats Sonic from the new movie trailer every time
That Genie is better than Will Smith as the Genie.
The "master tape" could be a DAT tape. Those were used as masters in the 90s.
RyManda It could also be a Digital Compact Cassette, no?
So I actually went searching the comments because that part stuck out to me (I figured someone else made the same observation)...I’ve worked with audio engineers, there are/were cassettes of various types used in audio production. Old ADAT tapes were pretty much VHS tapes used for audio, too. I know, that’s a little bigger than what they’re showing in the movie but just saying, not all “tape” in audio production is reel to reel
Now where's that Shazaam rental review video gone?
somebody answer
Answer Now
Why do you hate Caddyshack but love Kazaam! @3:14
Caddyshack*
Do the Sinbad genie movie next!
STFU
Technically it doesn't exist.🤔 But only in past life.
@@AtomicClown69 where's my uncle Rick when I need him. 😆
Its real look it up
@@someguy5319 nope
"You're a monster!"
That was really funny. 😂
famous line 0:56
When I read the title, I read it "Shazam", looks like the Mandela effects are kicking in.
Ender tails I remember this as Shazam. So weird. Wtf is Kazzam
@@codyw518 It's the Mandoozie Effect
Sinbad
I figured this was what reminded them of it. I've been making jokes for months now people are going to confuse Shazam in 20 years with wasn't that the weird Shaquille O'Neal Genie movie?
Stop perpetuating stupid terms coined by morons.
[Seinfeld Music intensifies]
*WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT?!*
*AIRPLANE FOOD, LIFE, WHATEVER*
Easy to beat!
Well you certainly are getting your money’s worth on those Genie effects.
You can tell James did not watch this movie..
i was thinking his same thing
I can also tell that he needs to go fuck himself because a lot of people like this movie and I should know because I'm one of them.
I think so too
I feel like he must've watched this sometime in his life, but not recently.
@@K-dawg26 I love it, too. I actually even own it on Vudu. 😂😂😂
I'm Arabic man the scene in Arabic it's just some Letters do not mean anything
@@UR86 thank you
the arabic club name is gibberish, does mean anything
u got shazaam with sinbad somewhere over there??
the gumball scene was the best
U believe that movie existed???
@@kameron454ci tell me move about it..
This was actually one of my favorite movies as a kid, I even had the novelization of Kazaam (which I found at a Goodwill LOL)
ToruKun1 Was the Novel any better? d:
Same here
@@otistebeats3958 No, mostly because it didn't explain how and why Shaq was able to squish that guy down into a basketball LOL
Shaq has a sense of humor, well you should thanks Adam Sandler for that. 😁
haha the bad guy in Kazaam is Ranjit from How I Met Your Mother
Gotta love James just spacing out over how tall Shaq is
He's right 5:30
I love that James is like completely lost in thought for most of the review. It's like Kazaam was so bad that it gave him an epiphany that he couldn't stop thinking about.
OMG I was going to ask you guys for this movie review... now do steel, space jam, nutty professor, the mask, breverly hills ninja, batman and robin..
I'm pretty certain the UN has decreed The Mask as a crime against humanity.
I’m liking your picks, those are great for this nostalgic kind of video
I avoided this movie like the plague. Even as a kid I knew it was bad.
I went in the theater for this. THE THEATER!!!! As a kid (and even then I knew it was huge mistake. A little too late).
Totally n being serious bc there is no proof now for what I am saying but no bullshit n really being honest here. I never cared for Kazam as a kid bc I thought it was a strait knock off of sinbad shazam. The comedian sinbad who I never in life called sinbad I referred to him his entire career as shazam the genie. Not until I was older did I care to give kazam a fair chance.
Oh, the one where shaq turns a bad guy into a basketball
...
OMG! A leslie nielsen autograph!
there is a pepsi in the back , IT WAS PLANNED
Mandella effect probably still has james buggin’ out 😂😂
Fun Shaq fact, I recently discovered a box of CD's I've had since the 90's. Among them, it appears that I have both of Shaq's albums. Gonna give them a spin and see what I was thinking as a child...
I like how James is humble enough just to let the other 2 guys just run all over the place and he basically stands back.
Watch out, he's gonna make Shaq-Nado soon enough! XD
That's funny because I was just watching Kazaam a week or so ago.
oh yeah and keep up the good work. 😊😁😁😁😊😊😇😇😇
Ohhh, I'm allowed back in the store?
......No.
I was laughing quiet hard.
1. UHF
2. Dirty Work
Dirty Work is the shit!! Just watched it today for the umpteenth time.
Dirty work is one of the best comedies ever
@@iamradical Definitely agree.
!
The only thing I remember about his movie is one of the Boyz II Men guys sang the theme/love song called wishes.
"OH MY GOD, SHAQ'S GONNA EAT ME!!!"
I had a friend who worked at a video rental store chain called "Hollywood Video" during the mid to late '90's. I talked to him in recent years, and he is convinced that Mandela effects are real and that the movie Shazaam starring Sinbad was also real. He told me that one day, while he was routinely moving VHS's from the "new releases" section to their appropriate sections in the video store, he placed a couple copies of Kazaam in the kids section, and then noticed that there was already a copy of a movie called Shazaam in the same spot. Then he pointed this out to his co-worker because these two movies were so similar to each other and only released one year apart.
When he heard about the Shazaam Mandela effect, he thought people were full of shit, because he knew that movie was real. But after discovering that the movie never existed, he fell deep into the Mandela rabbit hole.
Isn't Kazaam a rip off Sinbad's Shazam, which doesn't exist. But in our timeline it's a superhero movie about Captain Marvel which is not the same Captain Marvel in another superhero film called Captain Marvel. I'm soo confused.
When are you guys gonna review The Room?
Wasn't this actually the movie Shazaam with Sinbad? But they reshot the scenes with Shaq and renamed it Kazaam?
Not sure
Yes!
Get Shaq on the show. That would be awesome.
I agree with Jafar Max is the worst
Let me guess. Is your rug gonna be double parked outside?
Actually in the clip you guys showed for Da Brat master recording, it looked like a DAT which is exactly what a studio would have used back then. It's a high quality digital recording, just on magnetic tape.
The wishmaster! That’s the movie I walked into with my mom once in the 90s as a little kid and thinking it was kind of creepy. I’ve been trying to remember what the name of that movie was for like 20 years. I kept thinking like “dream catcher” or some shit like that lol thanks for reminding me
You just had to bring the genie back.
Look into the 'Testament of Solomon' and 'Lesser Key of Solomon'. King Solomon was said to capture every demon inside an urn, in which he sealed them in with 'divine' symbols/sigils. He would call upon any demon he sees fit to do his deeds from this urn. - Very much like the modern concept of a "genie" in a lamp.
R.I.P Robin Williams
Shaq give that boi some cream... With ice cream from the pocket
Can I start singing over you?
Hey Justin, if you see this.. Qui-gon Djinn made me laugh
James got a Corbra Kai hat. Preference or future review of Season 2?
Maybe a review of cobra kai season 1 before they talk about season 2. Also they might talk about the karate kid movies(both the original and the jaiden smith remake)
@@thatonea-hole They already talked about Season 1. They already talked about the Karate Kid movies. Hell even before that Rolfe listed John Kreese and Terry Silver in his Baddest Bad Guy list. And before that, AVGN reviewed the NES game early in his career.
Lucky dude he has a photo autographed by leslie nielsen
A stupid popular opinion... but Kazaam is still better looking than the upcoming Aladdin remake.
This video series is proof that Cinemassacre uses Internet Explorer. Bruh this movie came out years ago lol big L's in the chat
Who doesnt use the internet?
@@ramirogarcia4275 Internet _Explorer_ It's a [shitty] web browser.
Wha?
Dont you mean Shazaam with Sinbad?
That movie was decent
My whole family remembers that movie, everyone
dude i'm the same age as shack in this film. doesn't seem right at all
I liked the junk food scene
I am a huge fan of game sack!
Well.. Far as I know of how things work.. Genies are basically the nicer ones.. Even then they are kinda evil. Jinn on the other hand are extremely evil. They will twist anything and everything to basically inflict the most pain and death. ( The Jinn that is... Genies will still twist things but not as bad as the Jinn. Think Genies as slightly evil tricksters and Jinn are pure evil. )
Also you guys should watch Deep Rising.
Genie: good
Jinn: Evil
Gotcha!
Loved this movie as a kid and Disney, back in the late 1990’s, would play it. The ending always had me tearing up..
You were the right demographic. This movie is really bad.
Helgali 🤣 I mean it was aimed towards kids pretty much.
Daddy would you like some sausages!!!!???
I've been waiting for this for a decade xD
That "master tape" wasn't actually a cassette tape... it was a DAT tape, which was a popular studio standard of the time and could've actually been a studio master back in the 90's. As each tape holds 8 tracks of uncompressed 44.1khz 16bit audio.
13:48 "Hold you camels" isn't an outdated form of "Hold your horses"... it's more of differences in culture. Camels are as prevalent to middle east and north african culture as horses are in the west.
Honestly these rental review videos are just a nugget of gold on youtube just a group of guys chatting about movies, keep em coming 👌👍
Daddy would you like some sausage? 😂
Daddy would you like some sausage! Daddy would you like some saucy-jizz.
That scene was so damn funny.
They spent 99% of this movie's budget on the junk food scene.
The arabic sign is just gibberish.its not an actual word and does not mean anything
Its funny how they mentioned how bad steal,and speed 2 are because i seen them together in a double feature. Back when movie theaters still did that
Marshall Manesh aka Tony's father plays villain in Kazaam, and I knew I know him from somewhere, he also plays Ranjit in HIMYM.
Was wondering if they would ever do this review. Cinemassacre serving up another steamy pile of nostalgia!!
At the time this movie was released, Shaq was still playing for the Orlando Magic. So that might he been why he didn't get any hometown love from the LA Times.
Shazam was better. This was just a parody of it :/
The cinematographer on Kazaam was Charles Minsky and he specializes in that whole fairy tale look. He worked on episodes of Spielberg's Amazing Stories and the movie Pretty Woman.
Ugh... im getting 'Steel' flashbacks
When are they going to review flight of the navigator!?!?!? 😡
Oooooooh! Good call!
That wasn't a cassette tape, it was a DAT. Before everything went fully digital, they were industry standard for final mixes to be sent out for mastering.
cloudy with a chance of meatballs totally got the idea from kazaam
This is where sinbad was mistaken for making fkn shazam
Accomplished comedian Sinbad filed for bankruptcy for a second time. It looks like things have gone from Sin BAD, to SIN WORSE.
my God.
Love watching these reviews. I was searching and couldnt find anyone that has done much on the TV show ALF from the 1980's. Id love a review of the series ALF. I know its movie rental reviews but it would be cool to seea tv show review too.
