I tried to watch it, really I did.

I tried to watch it, I got to the part where Vanilla Ice rides his motorcycle over the fence, freaks the horse out, and the girl on the horse goes flying. What the hell? Really stupid move, how dumb is this "Ice" character? If this were to happen in real life, the girl could have been paralyzed, like Christopher Reeve, and it would be all the Ice guy's fault.
I liked the music in the beginning credits, though. And I usually hate rap music.

I forgive you on the rao music part, This movie really does suck, so bad I couldn't even find a blockbuster that had the film on rent.. Well I saw the on TV late at night, we recored it to mock it again and again... It was great, I can't believe they even made this film... I've seen better B movies...

I won't lie to you, one night a few of my friends were channel suffering and we came across this movie... Cool as Ice, we only saw the last ten minutes well 5... so we decided to look for it at Blockbuster they didn't have it.

However to our suprise it came on again a month later... We decided to record it and while watching it we thought it was a comedy. I won't even talk about the bike scenes like him thinking in the desert but... This tape is now used when I need a good laugh...

At last count, I figured this movie to be 81 kinds of Horrible. I was 14 years old in 1991 and I remember the horribly bad clothes, "rap", hair-styles, and the dreadful presence that was Vanilla Ice. If ever there was a movie to be collected, entombed in concrete and laid to rest six miles deep on the ocean floor, this is it. Yikes. It's a movie with a message, and that message is, AVOID.

See I believe this is a film to show to aspiring directors... what not to do... Secondly this is a movie you watch with friends because its so horrible you can only laugh at this drama... especially the love making running through the construction site scene that was a classic moment...

I was curious as to how bad this movie was...musicians make for the most part terrible movies...Shanghi Surprise, Body of Evidence, Who's that Girl, GLITTER, GIGLI, ect. I thought it was a comedy. No one in their right mind would take VI SERIOUSLY if he really road into town on his crotch rocket, and day glow outfits, and THE HAIR?!?! What the hell?!?!? Where I grew up, he'd get his a$$ beat for being a posur. I guess some stupid producer wanted to cash in on his fast rise. I checked this movie out on VH1's "Movies that Rock" LOL and it was quite bad. The plot made absolute no sense (maybe VI wrote it as his first staring vehicle) but gives us all the guilty pleasure of saying "Drop that zero and get with the hero". I actually heard someone quote him on Jenny Jones, one of the audience members. hehehehe. Inspiring future generations, Ice Ice Baby...ripping of David Bowie.
