1996 Donruss Kazaam Movie w/ Shaquille O'Neal

In honor of all things basketball, we should explore this 8-card pack of 1996 Donruss Kazaam cards to see what Shaquille O'Neal is up to.  Arguably one of his better movies, Kazaam featured Shaq as a genie who must help a troubled boy through life while granting him three wishes.  What would I wish for as a teenage boy?  Hmmmm......Coming off the success of the Shaq Fu Video Game, likely landed Shaq the lead role in Kazaam.  Ignore the box office stats ($18 million worldwide).....Shaq reigns supreme.  Without further delay, grab a gin and tonic and a bowl of pretzels...let the magic begin.......

Purply....what no inserts??!!  Odds are this pack is going to be memorable.


#71: Shazaam....er Kazaam.  A nice way to start off the pack.



#36:  The Party is Over



#16: Our other lead character....Max.  He also starred in Black Irish.



#29: Kazaam!



#37: No comment...


#83: A Wise Crackin' Rappin'....Shaq, a man of many talents



#56: Shaq lives in this boombox (and in our hearts) in the movie


#37-2:  What the freak??!!  A double...and still no comment.


A sample of one of the backs.....


There you have it.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope your weekend goes well.

    I actually went and saw this in the theater. That's about all I remember from it. I never saw the cards and don't have any to this day...I don't think I even knew they existed until years later.

    "Arguably one of his better movies"

    In the same vein that the Pinto is a better car than the Yugo.

    Couldn't get into this one as a kid, but I unironically consider Steel an all-time underrated classic. Good cast having an obviously fun time, highly quotable, & has a surprisingly decent villain with an excellent moral event horizon-crossing moment.
