Does anyone remember a crappy 90's movie staring Sinbad as a genie?

This came up in the ot last night.
I remember this movie showing a million times on showtime or cinemax when I was a kid. There are a lot of other people who also remember a Sinbad genie movie. This is where it gets strange. No such movie exists or any evidence of it.
It is one of those Mandela, Berenstain Bear type deals. Some people seem to think we are confusing it with Kazaam, which is not the case. I have known exactly who Shaq was since I first saw him bounce a basketball. So I ask the movie board, Do any of you seem to remember a genie movie starring Sinbad?

a bunch of people lie claiming to remember it
I don't think most of them are lying. If you ask almost anyone who doesn't know about the Berenstain controversy they say Bernstein 100% of the time.
I am telling you I remember a Sinbad genie movie and it has been messing with my mind ever since I read that thread last night.

I think it's easy to picture him as a genie because of the freaking costumes he wore in his standup.
The Berenstain Bear thing is silly. My sister brought it up to my mom, who was motivated to dig up the old books and see that, in fact, it was always Berenstain.

Exactly. When I see Sinbad that was always what popped into my mind first, and now it seems that it doesn't even exists. This has been bugging the crap out of me for 24 hours now.

I don't remember seeing it, but it sounds really familiar.

He addressed it on twitter a while back. He hosted some special that showed Sinbad the Sailor movies and be was dressed like this:

I would've said he made a genie movie too. And I would've said I watched it. How about that.
It's def bc of the hoop earrings.

the universe adjusted dude. It's obvious and now you've found the proof.
It used to be Berenstein Bears. It did. It fricking did!

Nope. Only Shaq's goofy arse in a horrible outfit.
Maybe it's because his name is Sinbad that you guys just assume homeboy wore a glittery turban at some point.

This movie does not, and never has existed. Please don't fall for this Mandela Effect BS.

He played an alien in an kids movie where he sorta resembled a genie I guess.

It's funny. Memories are very malleable, and apparently suggestible. It's extra-iffy going back to memories from childhood, when your imagination was already filling in the blanks.

Guaranteed its your memories mixing Aladdin and Sinbad the Sailor
