Junk Food Raining From the Sky in Kazaam (1996) Is the movie called Kazaam, starring Shaquille O'Neal as a 13,000-year old genie who grants wishes to an inner-city kid?...
|
|
Kazaam, holding Max's body, gives a classic Darth Vader NOOOOOOO.
|
|
Anyone interested in making "Kazaam II" needs to be all ears.
|
|
And there's nothing strange about Max being sucked into a giant glowing Kazaam face!
|
|
It turns out, he's learned an acting trick or two since the ghastly "Kazaam."
|
|
In 2014, Durant publicly admitted to TMZ that if he had to choose between Thunderstruck and Shaquille O'Neal's Kazaam, that Kazaam was the better movie; this led Jim Belushi to defend Thunderstruck, which is as devastating a QED as anyone could imagine.
|
|
Maybe they're confusing this imaginary film with Kazaam, which starred Shaquille O'Neal as a genie.
|
|
And that's Kazaam, the acting origin of the Gold Bond salesman we all know and love.
|
|
It's available now along with a couple of other backpacks inspired by the star of Kazaam.
|
|
As we all learned from Kazaam and his aborted hip-hop career, Shaq isn't exactly a natural onscreen.
|
|
The next morning, when Kazaam shows up at the breakfast table, Max's mom very quickly buys that he's Max's tutor.
|
|
It's not whether he was your all-time favorite NBA big man or whether you've seen "Kazaam" all the way through.
|
|
And these people insist they're not simply misremembering the movie Kazaam, which starred Shaquille O'Neal in the role of a genie.
|
|
Welp. Shaquille O'Neal — retired NBA superstar and star of the 1996 movie Kazaam — believes the Earth is flat, and you know what?
|
|
First off: It's not that these people are confusing Shazaam for Kazaam, the very real movie starring Shaquille O'Neal as a genie.
|
|
That group has now grown to include several spinning ball lovers, like Shaq Diesel rapper and star of the movie Kazaam, Shaquille O'Neil.
|
|
What we want is a "Kazaam for art" — that's right, an all-star basketball player-turned-Hollywood genie who recommends art we might like.
|
|
When Max hits the boom box, Kazaam emerges partly in a Capri Sun-like tornado in the gauzy fabric of a '90s music video.
|
|
I knew all the names today, with a cross as a hint here and there — DYAN, MEL, ESAI, ALICIA, even good ol' KAZAAM, which was a debut.
|
|
He clowns Shaq's movie career -- from "Blue Chips" to "Kazaam" -- makes fun of Shaq's physique and then mocks his NBA championship count, with a strong Kobe Bryant reference.
|
|
Jack's only 14, so there's a good chance he could be swimming in millions by the time he's old enough to vote ... as long as "Shazam!" is a bit more successful than "Kazaam."
|
|
I can't even talk to you about Doug's 1st Movie, which might have been the worst movie I saw in the 1990s (and that's including all the Land Before Time spin-offs and the Shaq classic Kazaam).
|
|
Kazaam (which, remember, is the name of the genie, not the stuff that got stuck to all your clothes in the '90s) has a brief origin story, in the form of a lamp falling next to a boom box.
|
|
And now Kazaam is a rapper on stage for some reason... Max and his dad are on the run from bootleggers, and Max's dad is way too good at effectively punching people out for it to be just a hobby.
|
|
In it, Shaquille O'Neal — a man you might know from his Gold Bond ads, or basketball, or that GIF where he bounces his shoulders, then a cat bounces his shoulders, and the loop goes around again — plays Kazaam, a genie trapped in a boom box.
|
|
But I'd like to point out Shaquille O'Neal, the original triple threat, who dominated the paint as center of the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, starred in films like Kazaam and Steel, and had an incredible (if short lived) rap career.

|
|
Enthusiastic crotch-dust pitchman, mumbling broadcaster, perpetual thorn in Kobe Bryant's side, star of Kazaam and player of a bit part in Grown Ups 26, prominent hamburger investor, NBA champion, borderline adequate rapper, brave advocate for recovering from surgery "On Company Time"—we would know none of this.
|
|
But he's also starred as a rhyming genie in Kazaam, rapped in Aaron Carter's smash hit "How I Beat Shaq," conducted the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall, earned the nickname "Diesel" at a mixed-martial arts gym, gone platinum with a debut album in 1993, and served as the global spokesman for Krispy Kreme.
|
|
The clues feel a little easy for experienced NYT solvers, but the grid is my usual style, I think: a little movies/pop (KAZAAM), a little ancient (OUROBOROS), some history, politics and world culture (ZAPATISTA, HEBREW CALENDAR), a little science (MUCOUS MEMBRANE), a helping of scandal (the SCARSDALE diet), and plenty of food (EXTRA FRIES or, if you prefer, KALE SALAD).

The next day, Kazaam stays in Max's home and passes himself off as Max's tutor. Max confesses to Kazaam that he and his father aren't really connecting, though Kazaam attempts to shirk the issue with some rapping. Max attempts to wish for his father and mother to fall back in love, but Kazaam cannot grant this wish because he is not a djinn, and therefore not free to grant ethereal wishes. Later that day, Max witnesses his father being assaulted by Malik and his minions and goes to Kazaam for help.
|
|
Malik, having taken control of Kazaam's boombox, is now in control of Kazaam himself. Max is pushed down an elevator shaft by Malik. He summons Kazaam in the hopes that he will do his bidding. While Kazaam is initially powerless against his master, he soon breaks free from his oppression and defeats Malik and his minions.

|
While eating all of this, Max suddenly realizes that he owns Kazaam until he makes his last two wishes. Max and Kazaam go out to see Max's father again. After getting past an intimidating bodyguard, Max is introduced by his father to the other employees of the agency and invited to a nightclub. The owner of the nightclub, Malik (Marshall Manesh), shows interest in Kazaam upon the realization that he is a genie, and he hopes to control Kazaam through Max's father.
|
|
Max eventually finds his father, only to learn that he is a musical talent agent who specializes in unauthorized music. Max goes to his personal secret hideout and tells Kazaam about his father. They decide to have a bike race through Max's hideout, during which Kazaam shows off his powers. Kazaam finally convinces Max to make his first wish, which consists of junk food raining from the sky.

Then, in his sorrow, Kazaam finally becomes a djinn, and is therefore able to do this for Max. With him officially a djinn, he pulls Max out of harm's way and carried out of the burning building by Travis.
