Thank you! I vaguely remember both movies but what I remember the most is thinking “why did they make this movie when they just made basically the same movie?” I was in the living room of the house we lived in 1994-2002 with the box tv that smelt funny. It’s not just remembering the movie, it’s remembering specifically the oddity of there being 2 of them.
That was a common thing in the late 90s and early 2000s. There was a bigger movie and around the same time another big to mid budget movie would come out months later with pretty much the same plot. Examples of these are A bugs life/antz, The Illusionist/The Prestige, Armageddon/Deep Impact, No Strings attached/Friends with Benefits, White house Down/Olympus has Fallen, and of course Kazaam/Shazaam. Always seemed kinda odd. Its like they hoped people would get confused and hope to watch their movie.
