I don’t think people often understand parody or laughing at something for ironic reasons.

When people post things about this movie in regards to “Vanilla Ice sucks” I find that laughable. Anyone who is laughing at this movie knows he sucks. No shit. His lameness is what makes a movie like this entertaining.

I remember watching this movie several times. It’s the bike that draws you in!

Drop the zero, get with’a hero!

This is a really simple proposition.Its either so bad that you can never enjoy or Its sooo sooo sooo bad its good. I would put this into that category. I watched this on late night TV maybe 6 months ago and was crying of laughter. Don’t expect anything and you will enjoy it for all its lame glory. Do yourself a favour and stop collaborate and listen to Rodney :-)

In reply to Tomi. Bold choice indeed, It is something that I would never consider watching and still won't. It just isn't my type of thing, thanks for review though.

While I thought his trademark song ‘Ice Ice Baby’ was catchy, I always wondered why he rarely admitted to sampling the David Bowie-Queen tune.

Then I saw him in various interviews, and he came off like an arrogant prick; he made up a whole bunch of stuff about himself, and many other rappers called him out on it in word and in song.

Vanilla Ice became more than a one hit wonder, he became a human time capsule: once his fifteen minutes were up, they were up ten minutes before. I did consider to give Van Ice some leeway with ‘Cool As Ice’ as I did with Beastie Boy Adam Horowitz with the outstanding ‘Lost Angels’ a few years prior (and I have THAT on VHS) ….

But I skipped Cool As Ice – because of Vanilla Ice. After a short time, I got sick and tired of his ‘Ice Ice Baby’ tune as well. To this day I have never seen the film in its entirety.

I’m not going to blast you on this too much Rodney, everyone has a guilty pleasure or two that the rest of the masses wishes never existed. When I think of Kellogg, I think Corn Flakes (or in Vanilla’s case, Fruit Loops) …but now that you reminded me of Cool’s director…I’m willing to make a $1 bet with anyone that he got a better performance out of those Playboy models who were generally being themselves in various fantasy shoots that Vanilla Ice being himself for 90 minutes.

No takers? Sucker bet?
