Continuity mistake: After the explosion in the laboratory, Josh is laying on the floor, injured. His face is covered in blood, however during the scene the amount of blood on his face keeps changing. In close ups of his face his lips are free of blood, but in wider shots his lips are covered in thick amounts of blood.

Alex thinks about all of the clippings and news stories and then wishes that the dock worker, Mickey Torelli, hadn't been drinking on the job 2 days ago. The Dijinn is pulled back into the fire opal. The time goes back 2 days and the statue is delivered safely. Josh and Alex get together for their long sought-after date and everything has returned to normal. As the movie ends, we see Ahura Mazda and the fire opal. As the camera zooms in , we get a last glimpse of the Djinn sitting on his throne and he's laughing.

Answer: There's no known answer to this, but one thought is it would be very difficult for anyone, at some point and without thinking, not to wish for something, particularly something frivolous. Something like, "I wish it would stop raining." Theoretically, the Djinn could then use a "loophole" by granting the person's wish three times without them realizing it. If the person somehow never wished for anything, then presumably the Djinn would remain captive.
