Kazaam with Shaquille O'Neal - Awfully Good Movies

[@BigDumbMovie]

This is my favorite series on this channel. Excellent work, as always.

[@JoBloOriginals]

Thank you so much, hope to make many more episodes.

This is better than the Nostalgia Critic review.

LOL! The Nostalgia Critic works like this: Step 1: Get drunk. Step 2: Visit a Wikipedia article about an old "thing." Step 3: Make sure to mark down half of the important things in that article. Step 4: PRETEND to understand the "thing." Step 5: Make a few VERY bad jokes which fail to hit their mark. Step 6: Upload. Step 7: Profit. The Nostalgia Critic is nothing but a POSER!

Part of the reason Shaq came to the Lakers was because of his interests in becoming a movie star. As a Lakers fan I'm happy the basketball side of that decision worked out a lot better than the movie side.

I've always thought it was hilarious how Shaq seems to legitimately think that heavy eyebrow use is a major part of acting.

[@SmoothCriminal12]

Fun Fact: Shaq met his future teammate Penny Hardaway on the set of Blue Chips and after playing in scrimmages with him, urged the team to draft him, which they later did.

[@TNHFPRODUCTIONS987]

And for all you losers who didn’t get or understand the ending let me explain.When Kazzam granted max his last wish he was able to break free from the cosmic prison and become Jinn as Kazzam was leaving he passed his powers on to max because in our hearts we are all Jinn and we are all free because the power is in our hearts and with it we can do anything. Max now has the power to grant his own wishes and dreams and Kazzam is now human and free to live a normal life.

I remember FanBoyFlicks reviewing this film and absolutely destroying the kids teeth as well as this movie. 😂😂

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

There was a lot of 90s movies like this that treated kids like stupid morons and trying way too hard to be hip and cool at the expense of telling a bad story in the process. These movies include: Jumanji Star Kid A Simple Wish Kazaam Space Jam Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Super Mario Bros: The Movie The Wizard Batman and Robin Jingle All The Way The list goes on. Overall, It's very sad that while people were getting stuff like Good Will Hunting , Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, Goodfellas, Forrest Gump, and The Shawshank redemption, those people's children were mostly being offered mind numbing crap by corporate suits who don't know anything about children. What they offered ranged from too scary (Jumanji) and too stupid (Kazaam) Granted there was some good films like Matilda, but most of the crap as mentioned above raided every child's VHS collection of the time, and it's very sad.

[@BigEOT3]

It’s funny because some of these films are cult classics also Jumanji got some successful sequels and Space Jam getting a sequel too.

I guess that's because it's one of his default outfits for when he's in "genie mode", but I'd say it's more likely that the continuity department just threw their hands up by this point in production.
