I have a feeling from watching this that when Vanilla Ice came up and started talking, Nick and Kathy stopped acting and every thing they did at that point was their genuine reaction to him.
He was wearing no shirt, with a jacket on, two different colored sneakers, and hanging out in front of his house on the sidewalk doing dance moves by himself, with no music play.... Very relatable scene.
Vanilla Ice is my personal cure for depression. Hear me out: He's STILL releasing albums. So after all his failures and after being a joke for so long, he still struggles to do what he wants to do in life. If vanilla ice can keep trying, you can too.
yeah back in the 90s guys like nick even kids like nick were complete I'm better than you douchebags this is probably one of my favorite scenes next to when he beats up Nick lol
@@kaiznpl Is Nick that boring? He does assault Vanilla Ice with a 2x4 or something. He may have gone on to a life of crime following the close of the film.
"Drop that zero and get with the hero" I'll bet all 5 people in the theater were rolling on the floor laughing their asses off when Vanilla Ice uttered his "words of wisdom".
dariel montez Funny thing is my girlfriend at the time was a huge Ice fan so she dragged me to this movie in the theater and a half hour in they stopped the movie and kicked us out. They told us the movie had been dropped from the theaters. The nerve of them...
I went to see this when I was 11, it was the week it opened and me and my 2 friends were literally the only ones in the whole theater. It's still the only time I have ever seen that happen. I don't remember a single scene of the movie, but I remember that day perfectly because it was the coolest shit ever having the whole theater to ourselves. We were running up and down the aisles, jumping seat to seat, talking as loud as we wanted, just being little assholes lol. I even remember when we left they were already taking down all the "cool as ice" signs and posters haha.
@Lefiath scenes were jus put together horribly in the movie , in that scene he was dancing as if to pass time dumb af for them to place it in that order ...
the cinematographer won oscars shooting schindler's list and saving private ryan, haha, It's a very well shot film..likely oddly well shot when combined with such a silly story and dialogue, you really gotta applaud vanilla ice's confidence though, he looks like he has total faith in the bs he does in this film, haha
At that scene I was like what the hell is going on 😂😂what kind of movie is this. This is the first scene and the first time I've ever heard of this movie
yo i'll add something even more crazy to this thread. i performed at a concert with him! it was i think 2009 and it was a blast. i brought my old vanilla ice casette i was going to have him autograph it but for some reason i choked and cringed and couldnt do it. i had a vip pass to a after party but i didnt go and hang out because i had not ate the entire day and i was fucking starving to death my stomach hurt so bad. but the coolest part was during check in. i always go tto music check in early. so i always got to meet the headliners. i saw ice get on the drums and start doing soundcheck! me and the woner of the club were the only ones in front of the stage because it wasnt open yet and we just watched him hammer away at the drums. it literally felt like he was hired to play just for us for that moment. i tried to sneak a picture in but the phone quality back then in a club its so blurry you cant even tell. at one point his giant bodyguards came over and told me and the owner to back up from the stage a few feet. i was like hes the owner and im the opener and they politely said it dont matter. ice is super famous and im guessing after that suge knight incident he has to be careful with everyone. and it was a small venue so alot of up close stuff they had to be careful about for his safety so i understand. so thats my vanilla ice story! the clip is still funny as hell and im sure he would laugh about it these days.
Art critic circa 2400: And now we get to the 'drop that zero' line. An epic meditation on existentialism expressed in only a few words. More essays have been written about this one line than everything that was ever written about Shakespeare. But alas we can only analyse the Ice we can never hope to achieve his level.
bro, I'm fucking dead🤣🤣🤣 in all seriousness tho, this film does have a ton of beautiful shots. it's just that everything else, especially the plot, dialogue, etc is complete shit.
Everything about this is fucking perfect. Vanilla ice dancing.. somewhere? Showing up abruptly and the bass track just destroys your speakers instantly
Me too. It's hilarious for all the right and wrong reasons. Where else can you see Superboy and Vanilla Ice get into a fight? It's pure early 90's cheese.
@0:53 yep, that is the appropriate reaction. Honestly, I've attended a vanilla ice concert and was able to briefly meet him in ~2016. He was awesome! Amazingly humble and great to all the fans that came to see him. If you have the opportunity to see him in concert now I highly recommend it
Grew up watching this movie in Kenya, East Africa. It was so popular that they gave it a nick name, “O’Yea”. The style, the dance, everything about it symbolized the rise of Hiphop music and culture. The actor of course started his career as a rapper whose boss was none other the notorious Suge Knight.
I remember seeing a tv spot for this back in '91 and wanting to see it for about 5 minutes. Guess I didn't miss much. I think it played about a week in our local mall.
I’m finding myself hopeful for humanity simply based on the ingenuity and clever humor displayed in these comments, never have I seen such unity and passion and it’s all inspired by this powerful coming of age drama!
