Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite the fact that this film was a critical and financial disaster, Shaquille O'Neal has not expressed regret for his involvement. He said in a 2012 interview, "I was a medium-level juvenile delinquent from Newark who always dreamed about doing a movie. Someone said, 'Hey, here's $7 million, come in and do this genie movie.' What am I going to say, no? So I did it."
- GoofsEven though the movie is based in Brooklyn, while Max is talking with his dad in the car, you see a bus with Red and Orange stripes roll by. Buses in New York have blue stripes. Red and Orange were the colors of the Metro buses in Los Angeles in the early to mid-1990s.

Featured review
Kazaam! Kapow! Kawham! Kazaam steals hearts of Americans
I can't believe that Shaq was actually good in this movie. This is his crowning achievement of his life, and I have followed Shaq ever since his days at Louisiana State University. I have to admit, that as soon as I saw him in that Pepsi commercial, that I began to question his credibility in acting, but this movie totally restored my faith in the great Shaq Diesel. This movie blew me (and the critics) away. It had everything...something for the family, for those that like comedies, musicals, basketball, genies, and tots; as well as for all those lovers out there... We all know that Shaq gave us burning sensations while we watched him in basketball, but Kazaam raises that sensation to 212 degrees. Wazoo! -John Hurst
