This is pretty interesting stuff about false group memories, albeit inconclusive.

I mean, it seems pretty conclusive to me that the movie didn't exist. It would require a massive and bizarre conspiracy theory to be true.

Seems like the work of a few dedicated trolls taking advantage of people's susceptibility to false ("incepted") memories about long-ago events.

The movie is kazaam

Yeah, I distinctly remember Kazaam, and it didn't have Sinbad.

What did star Sinbad though were First Kid and Jingle All the Way, both of which were released in 1996 (same as Kazaam) and I remember seeing at around the same time as Kazaam.

This kind of story always reminds me of the Larry Niven's "For a Foggy Night".

While reading the article I kept thinking, yea I remember this movie, I can picture the box art. Then it reveals the Kazaam box art and I thought, oh no it's Kazaam I'm thinking of.

I saw this in a double-feature, paired with "Beverly Hills Gun Club".
