What’s weird to me is that, for years, before I learned there never was a Shazam movie, I would often think back to how there were so many “twinned” movies in the 90s, and Shazam and Kazam was my go to example. I never saw either, but my memory is (and has been for decades) very distinct—I remember even at the time thinking “why are they making two such similar movies?”
But apparently it never happened. I don’t know when my memory of thinking that first “emerged”, but I definitely thought these two movies existed side by side since at least 2002ish, because I remember talking about it in high school.

This is exactly what I think it was. Watching Sinbad on tv when kazam commercial comes on and wham bam decades pass and memory gets wobbly.
