History[]
Aladdin[]
He is shown riding his horse to the palace where two men say he is yet another suitor for the princess. Kaveed and Yani then accidentally run in front of his horse. As punishment, he attempts to whip them until Aladdin intervenes, saying if he had as much money as him he could afford some manners. The prince then looks down on by shoving him in a mud puddle and telling him that he is a street rat and will be nothing more and that the only one to mourn him would be his fleas. Aladdin then says how his horse has two behinds.
Later, Achmed leaves the palace with his pants torn, having been rejected by Princess Jasmine and played with by Rajah, complaining to The Sultan that no one would want to marry her. Jasmine tells Sultan that Rajah was playing with him and says how he was pompous and overdressed, showing how little she thought of him.
Behind the Scenes[]
During the film's conceptual phase, Jasmine was going to have more of her suitors be shown and Achmed would've actually been Gazeem who had survived and found the lamp which he then used to transform into Prince Achmed, however it seems these ideas were abandoned, and Genie's comment about not being released in 10,000 years suggests that Gazeem did not survive.
