Help! I remember seeing a preview of this movie back in 1992 when I was twelve years old. I always wanted to watch this movie, but is it really any good? Would any conventional video store have a copy?
THANK YOU! Somebody else finally noticed that about the tagline. It's asanine. How do you melt something by adding ice? And if you were adding ice along with the heat necessary to melt, wouldn't the ice melt too? And wouldn't it be pretty hard to melt stone as well?
But the movie does have the lines- "You need to drop dat' zero and get wit' da' hero!" AND "I'll see you later" "I'm seein' you now..."
is "dezzokeegan" another white boy rapper laying down a fresh lick on vanilla ice or what? aside from that, yes even just on cheese level alone, it is the worst tag line ever
You have to realise that this movie is so cheesey that it's awesome. I mean, Vanilla Ice has always been cool, but this is by far the coolest movie I have seen! Him with these giant sunglasses (who everyone thought cool back in the 90's) walking around with his gang of rappers. Theres also a ten year old kid who says "Wow" when he see's him because the kid knows that it's Vanilla Ice but not Johnny Van Owen, and I would say the same thing If he was doing that in my neighbourhood. Also, if I had an older sister that was dating Vanilla Ice, I would act just like that kid.
You guys aren't "with it". All right, stop. Collaborate and listen, Ice is back with a brand new invention. Something grabs a hold of me tightly. Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly. Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know. Now turn off the lights, huh, and I'll glow.
No offense to anyone, but you're just not looking at the big picture. But its cool, I've got the solution to all your problems. Just add ice.
Actually you might be looking at this wrong. When it says add ice it means vanilla ice. So it sounds crazy that someone would suggest the way to melt solid stone would be ice. well the tagline doesnt suggest that you should get an ice cube and try to literally melt stone. It is simply saying that the main chick is a tight ass and the only way to loosen her ass, is too add a bad ass raper with neon pants and "Street Knowledge" and thus a melted stone heart.So what I am trying to say is, That I aggree. That is the worst tagline ever.

I think an ass raper would loosen anyones ass, especially a bad ass raper. Acutally does that mean that he's not a good rapist or does it mean that he's like michael jackson 'bad', or is he a 'bad-ass' rapist. All I know is a bad ass raper sounds pretty good to me.

Now, I am not a trainer for anything, let alone dolphins, but somehow I cant get my head around training a dolphin to kill the President of the United States, and not knowing about it.
Im pretty sure that it is fairly difficult, if not impossible, to do

This thread is hysterical. It got me to thinking, what if they'd hired that other pop rapper from the early 90's...
"When a girl has a broken heart, the only way to heal it is with a Hammer."

If it was Michael Jackson, the part of Kathy would've been played by Macaulay Culkin.

Lol u guys have redeemed my faith in the intellect of humanity. The first thing I thought when I read the tagline was "wtf that doesn't make any sense." The second thing I thought of was that gd hilarious south park episode. Ahhh man do I miss Ice, he was such a courageous and innovatve young ragamuffin.
Assuming that the girl's heart is above the Earth's surface, melting her heart of stone would give her a heart of lava. And I don't think anyone wants that.
Wow, I don't know how anyone didn't understand the tag line. It's not that hard. When someone is supposed to be tough, they have a heart of stone. Also, it's Ice not ice that they say to add, as in Vanilla Ice, meaning that he is going to make her love him. When someone is so hot to someone else there is a saying, "He/She is so hot he/she melts my heart." It's not hard to understand, making not the worst tagline in movie history.
"When a girl has a heart of stone, there's only one way to melt it. Just add Ice."
Listen, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I don't think anyone was confused about what the writers were intending to say with the tag-line, we all get that. The problem is that the tag-line's other meaning is completely backwards. If there was, for example, a person named 'Flame' there could be a catch phrase like this:
"The only man that could warm up this woman's cold-heart is flame"
Now, see this tag-line is equally cheesy and lame, but it does make some sense. A cold heart implies that she is lacking affection, a flame warms cold things, so add a flame to a cold heart and you no longer have a cold heart, you just have a heart, or a warm heart or whatever.
The whole idea with tag-lines like these are to use Colloquiums and make a pun with them. The problem with this one is the pun doesn't make any sense. We understand the Colloquium 'heart of stone', but stones don't melt to anything except extreme heat and ICE is not going to melt a stone. If anything the ice would melt and the stone would remain solid. I know it sounds like we're over-thinking this a bit, but there's something very unsettling with this tag-line. The writers were trying to be clever and make a cheesy little play on words, but they blew it. I think they could have pulled it off if instead of ICE they said LAVA, then the tag-line would read like this:
"When a girl has a heart of stone, there's only one way to melt it. Just add LAVA."
See, now the tag-line makes sense, but it's still a little strange because people don't generally think of stones melting, but it's still better than the former.
Also, we understand that they were referring to ICE, as in Vanilla Ice, but they were playing with the word ice; that’s the whole concept behind the tag-line. If his name wasn't Ice then they wouldn't have used a tag-line like this, I mean seriously, imagine his name is Mathew:
When a girl has a heart of stone, there's only one way to melt it. Just add Mathew.
What the hell is that? It only works with names that have multiple meanings, that’s the idea with puns. I assure you Jason nobody read the tag-line and was confused about the message the writers were trying to get across. We know what each of the phrases mean, but we think they failed miserably with their play on words.
Also, if you know of a worse tagline than this I would like to read it because this one is really bad.
Exactly and there's so many ways they coulda ran with this, may not have made much sense but would have made more sense than what they came up with:
"When a girl's temper is running hot, there's only one way to cool her down. Just add Ice."
"When a girl's heart is on fire, there's only one way to cool it down. Just add Ice."
"When a girl's love is melting, there's only one way to keep her cool. Just add Ice."
Granted none of these are great but I'd dare say they at least make more sense than the tagline that was used. I mean seriously it's like they weren't even trying, you have to wonder how much time & effort was spent on this project. I'm guessing about 5 minutes for the promo materials and one week tops for the film.
