Fun fact although this is a terrible movie, you may have noticed that it is shot exceedingly well. Cinematographer Janusz Kamiński went on to work with Spielberg... Schindler's list, Saving Private Ryan... Just to name a few.
Wow, that is a cool fact. Not everyone gets to pick their first project, indeed!
Another fun fact. This could have been Gwyneth Paltrow's debut film as she was offered the role of the love interest, but her father wouldn't let her accept it as he rightfully thought it would kill her career before it had even begun.
@@RevanAlaire True. They decided to kill the career of the actress from Home Alone instead! 😂🤣
@@adu1991 To be fair to the actress, the movie didn't do Ice any favors either. 🤣
@@RevanAlaire Yes, this is true. This movie is so bad, that it made Vanilla Ice irrelevant and played out.
He then went on to make ""Mind Blowin'" in 1994 and changed up his image to be more hardcore and "gangsta" but people weren't buying the act and the album flopped.
Erin vibing to the music while Jason tries his hardest not to die of cringe is a perfect display of the Duality of Man
Haha, love this.
I'm so glad to be the 100th like on this comment
Well...... A man that loves his woman will tolerate things that make her happy.. My wife likes cringing things but if she's smiling I'm happy that she is smiling..
Some of the music is good in this film but that's it..
Greatest movie tagline ever "When a girl has a heart of stone, there’s only one way to melt it. Just add Ice."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What makes it better, is that it doesnt even make sense.
Word to yo mudder
The love interest played Kevin's older cousin in Home Alone. She was the one who accidentally counted a neighbor kid as Kevin during a head count, leading to him missing the drive to the airport. The whole thing was basically her fault.
The award for spotting the most elusive actor goes to you I didn't notice her at all until I read your comment I just thought she was a bargain bin Jennifer Connelly
Holy shit your right good eye 👍🏽
She also plays the receptionist Randy in Er where she’s totally unrecognisable as the girl from Home Alone and Cool As Ice. Funnily enough Deezer D is also in Cool as Ice and Er (he plays one of the nurses, Malike).
"Eleven, ninety-two, twelve..."
Damn, good eye!
Michael Gross is probably most famous for his role in the sitcom _Family Ties,_ but you'd probably know him better from the _Tremors_ franchise.
I was 10 minutes in and couldn’t believe they didn’t know who he is.
That scene with Kat and her boyfriend you left out the line where Vanilla Ice walks away and turns to utter what I imagine was Jason’s pickup line to Erin “ditch that zero and get with the hero” 🤣
Yes! I can't believe that was left out. Best line ever!
I used that line once. It was not successful.
I used that line before and I've been a virgin ever since.
We were probably yammering over it.
Lol, best line in the movie!
Trivia: An early project of cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, who went onto work numerous times with Steven Spielberg. Yes he was the director of photography for both Cool as Ice and Schindlers List.
Damn, he won an Oscar i think, another DP that had some great films and some very questionable ones was Dean Cundey.
Halloween, Roger Rabbit, The Fog, BTTF and even sadly...Jack and Jill
Beat me to it!
@@JoeChillton A gig is a gig.
@@alucard624 I understand. Money is money.
The male motorcycle repairman, Sydney Lassick played a prominent role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Cheswick) so this movie has some ties to some goat movies
Nobody can make Erin laugh like Erin.
You aren't lying.
Every word spoken by Vanilla is the best thing you can possibly say in any situation.
Yep yep
He's a nazi supporter bro
The writing is next level.
only thing i can remember off the top, is "drop that zero and get with the hero"
The words on his jacket alone are all you need.
The instant he snuck into her room and slipped a piece of ice into her mouth should have been met with
incoherent screaming and then all of the restraining orders......all of them! XD
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching Erin crack herself up with her own rap was priceless!!! 🤣
That was great 😹🤣🤣
2 tea kettles!
I came to the comments for this
Double tea kettles 🤣
I didn't think I could love Erin any more........I was wrong.
So Jason when you first asked Erin out was your opening line to tell her to drop the zero and get with the hero? I mean, we can all. IMAGINE THAT.
Worked like a charm.
The Johnny Bravo part 😂😂 god that cartoon was something else. And I loved it 😂
Hell yeah dude
The tall skinny dad is Michael Gross. He was pretty well known after starring in the TV sit-com Family Ties opposite Michael J Fox. Later he was known as Burt Gummer from the Tremors movies and TV series. Surprised it took you that long to place him. He went from typecast dad to typecast government distrusting gun nut between the 80's and 90's.
He also was on an episode and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He had a role as Larry David's dermatologist.
I mean all things considered Jason placed him pretty damn quick
Im surprised they didnt pick up on Family Ties sooner.
I have a lot of respect for Vanilla Ice. To have not committed suicide for all of these years after making this steamer takes real balls.
He tried committing suicide back a few years after his career imploded
“Drop that zero and get with the hero”. Right up there with “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” and “I think this the beginning of a beautiful friendship”.
I can't believe there wasn't a reaction to that?...I watched the full version on Patreon and I think they might have been talking through it...
The change in Erin's demeanor when she learned they were watching Vanilla Ice instead of Steven Seagal.
Haha, her day brightened immediately.
Can't say I blame her. 😅
Bit of trivia, The boyfriend character played Superboy in the first season in 1988 before being replaced by Gerard Christopher.
Hilarious reaction, I bet Jason was wishing for a Sifu Seagal movie after this lol😂
I assume Vanilla Ice won't be appearing in The Last Kumite 😂😂😂
Glad someone else recognized Newton there. I remember watching Superboy when it originally aired. And Ice is busy flipping houses in Florida these days
@@alucard624 he blow all his money away or just do it out of love for renovation?
The popularity of Vanilla Ice remains one of the great mysteries of the early 90s.
And Gerardo. And Snow.
@darktitan6308Am I wrong for liking the song "Informer" by Snow?? 😂
I love when characters in movies wear reflective sunglasses. They also seem to either reflect the film crew or the other actor waiting for the take to be done. This movie is no different. At one point when Vanilla causes the female lead to fall off her horse, you can see her waiting for the take to be done when he’s talking.
saaaammmmme its always fun to see how many times you can see the crew in the glasses. if you never see em then you know its a good movie lol
Ohh, I'll have to go back and look.
"He's dressed like the riddler" got a tea kettle out of me 😂
Easily imagine if he dress as the riddler in some fan movie about Batman
(Ha, Jim Carrey who was playing as Riddler, Also parodying Vanilla Ice one time 😄😆)
Bruh!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
10000 bonus points for the Lethal Weapon side character pull, Jason. :-) Our minds work alike lol. Though I am disappointed it took you that long to tag Michael Gross.......... And I love the contradiction of you being so flummoxed by what you are watching and Erin being SO in the 90s zone for this movie (and I use that term loosely).
I'm disappointed it took me so long to recognize him.
Does no one remember Family Ties?
Yes this did get release in the theaters on Oct. 20, 1991. Costed 6 million and only made $1,193,062.
My sister watched this turd. It cleared the family room like a rancid Taco Bell fart.
It had preview showings on October 16, 1991, the day I was born. Ice Ice Baby.
Gwenith Paltrow was due to make her movie debut as the love interest in this, but her father vetoed her performance as he thought the script was too sexual.
11:25 might be the greatest wheeze laugh I've ever heard
I love how Jason pronounces 'mannerisms' the same as 'aneurysms' 😆 Great watch as always, keep it up!
Yeah, well... I'm dumb
@@JasonBrant Or this might be a great example of a Freudian Slip. 😂
I mean, I'm conviced the headache I got today was in fact a mini stroke triggered by the clips from this movie! "Aneurysm" is the perfect word to describe what the fashion of this era inflicted upon the world!
It's hard to believe that Janusz Kaminski was the DP on this, just two years before he won an Oscar for Schindler's List (his first Collab with Spielberg)
Unbelievable.
Receiving copyright claims for the music of Vanilla Ice is practically the definition of irony
The perfect vanity project. Vanilla doesn’t disappoint.
He's incredible in this.
@@JasonBrant useless factoid, he made a quick cameo in the second live action TMNT movie Secret of the Ooze in the 90’s. He sang “Go ninja go ninja go!”
Two weeks ago I mentioned loving Dave’s laugh. Erin more than filled that role and made me smile this week.
They both have great laughs.
Yeah, but Dave’s tits are better
Cool as Ice is a 1991 American romantic musical comedy film directed by David Kellogg, written by David Stenn and starring rapper Vanilla Ice in his feature film debut. The plot focuses on Johnny Van Owen, a freewheeling, motorcycle-riding rapper who arrives in a small town and meets Kathy, an honor student who catches his eye. Meanwhile, Kathy's father, who is in witness protection, is found by the corrupt police officers he escaped from years ago.
Developed as a vehicle for Vanilla Ice, the film was widely panned by critics, and was a box office bomb, grossing only $1.2 million from a $6 million budget.
it's the dad from Family Ties. And of course, around 5 Tremors movies.
Yeah buddy, and you didn't mention Michael gross, Ole Burt
Yes he did.
As if we needed any more evidence that Erin is the star of the show....she was on fire!!
She was!
He's the dad from Family Ties and was in the Tremors series.
Burt Gummer FTW!!
Yep, it's Alex P. Keaton's dad in Family Ties. Classic 80's.
yes, Erin. it WAS in theaters! i only know because i used to work at one when the movie came out. i remember it opening and it was only in our theater for 4 weeks. to give you perspective, back then theaters had contracts to show movies for a minimum of 8 weeks. it WAS that bad!! nice job suffering through it!
I can't imagine seeing this in theaters.
It got a theatrical release, but it was limited. Had it come out six months earlier it would have opened on 3,000 screens.
It's like the infamous Village People movie *Can't Stop The Music* (co-starring Steve Guttenberg and then-Bruce Jenner!) which came out in 1980, after disco had crashed and burned.
I sent you this trainwreck. So glad you and Erin could suffer with the rest of us! Word to your mutha!
The actor is Jack McGee, guy is in everything. He used to hang out at the dog park I went to every day unless he was making another movie.
5:50 - He was in 'Lethal Weapon' 2 & 3, but also in 'The Quest' and other very famous movies. He also appeared in basically any TV show ever produced in Hollywood.
So close with the "Dad from Alf" guess Jason! He actually played michael j. fox's dad in the sitcom "Family Ties". And of course, he played an awesome character in "Tremors" as the gun loving husband of Reba McEntire.
@darktitan6308 You must have higher standards than I.
The mechanic (Sydney Lassick) plays a really good role as a mental patient in the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 👍
Pretend though if you would... This Vanilla Ice movie actually sends him to the loony bin in a funny, yet sad twist of events.
The crazy fast forward makes me think of every commercial for kids in the 90s! This was great!
Edit: why the hell did Erin randomly start singing Michelle Branch? What is happening 😂
Erin sings everything and anything. Always.
Ice was a punchline before the movie even came out. As a surviving member of the class of 91, I can attest. Ice ice Baby peaked a year earlier and it’s all he had.
Huge peak, epic crash.
Exactly, They greenlight the movie at the absolute peak of Ice and it was released when he was already dropping off. The Kawasaki was the star of the movie.
Whenever you're looking for a kidnapped kid at night, always remember to wear your sunglasses.
This made me do karate in the mirror when I was 8.
Cool as ice is basically a remake of the classic Marlon Brando movie the wild one
Just like Barb Wire is basically a remake of Casablanca.
The 2 name actors in the film are Jack McGee, Contractor from Lethal Weapon and also the Dad in The Fighter and so many others. The guy with glasses is Michael Gross, who plays Burt in Tremors and the Dad on Family Ties.
Laugh all you want fools, the three disc Criterion Collection release of Cool As Ice with Vanilla Ice's commentary is coming out any day now.
Vanilla Ice did appear on the "How Did This Get Made?" podcast episode about this movie.
6:22 Not Jason identifying not only the sister from Coming to America, but also a bit part actor from Lethal Weapon 2, and then struggling to ID Michael Gross of Tremors fame.
Vanilla ice is from Florida, btw. He has insanely good looks, but the backlash against his rap career was severe. His chin and jaw line are like a 90s superhero. Suge Knight basically extorted all his money, in exchange for letting him live.
That Suge Knight story is always crazy to me.
Actually, that whole Florida thing was manufactured "street cred" by his PR machine.
He's originally from Texas. Born and suburban raised.
Dude is from Dallas Tx. 😝
@@lukewright9031 oh, wow. I guess I believed the hype.
I'm glad someone else noticed this. VI was gorgeous and could have had a career in modeling but chose to become a rapper instead.
Man, people talk about how crazy the style of the 80s was, I think the 90s might be even weirder.
"Get your shoes off my white comforter... you caveman. Ugh!" 😆😆😆
Classic Erin.
The early 90s was VERY neon
1990 and most of 1991 were an extension of the eighties. The release of Nirvana's *Nevermind* in late '91 (right around the time this movie was released) is when things really changed.
It's kind of like how the fifties and sixties as popularly imagined didn't really begin until "Rock Around The Clock" and the Kennedy assassination, respectively.
He did the south park totally emo hair flip that was frickin great 😹🤣🤣
I just bought this dvd for my sister's birthday since it has become such a staple of our So Good it's Bad shelf. Crazy timing with this video!
Damn, you guys are savages with your gifts.
"I want this movie to be over now" 🤣
"My heart I so happy now"
🤣🤣
"Hes dressed like the Riddler" 🤣🤣🤣
Erin's a keeper: She loves the 90's. She laughs like Jim Norton. And her humor and commentary is priceless. 😃
She also fancies men....like Jim Norton
First off, Jason...COOL AS ICE is always a win,lol! ....Second...In Ice's defense...people forget that Vanilla Ice was the White version/counterpart to the Fresh Prince(Will Smith) as in.... Vanilla Ice never cussed or swear in his music( it was kid friendly and made for the rollerskating parties)...this is also why they picked him for TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze for the music(Ninja Rap). Vanilla Ice was run out of the Rap business when Suge Knight hung him by his feet over the balcony of his Mansion and shook him down for money....and the rest is Carpenter history.
Vanilla ICe is still the man....and he is NOT L.A. - he was born in Dallas.
Yes, Jack McGee was the carpenter in Lethal Weapon - he was also the carpenter in Scrooged...."Have you tried staples?" also he was the night watchman in House III and the same carpenter AGAIN in Lethal Weapon III. He was also the detective in The Prophecy III (he was in a lot of III sequels)
The dad is Michael Gross - Family Ties dad. YES BURT GUMMER FROM TREMORS!
Kid N Play made lots of money on this music...as did Will Smith.
Just like the gays
The bowl of lemons are clearly there so she will keep from getting scurvy.
Omfg. I feel like I just got a slap of unfortunate nostalgia. I was 15 in '91... so I deserve it. This was great times at the skating rink! ❤
I was very young but I distinctly remember Vanilla Ice. I’m 33 now and I will stand a little too hard to the Ninja Rap from TMNT🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@HaintblueRee A friend of mine saw him at an Anime convention awhile back. A
And yes he did the ninja rap song live
@@HaintblueRee I'm 44🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I saw M.C. Hammer live in concert, along with Boyz II Men and TLC. Never saw the Iceman, though.
Gotta love some Vanilla Ice at the skating rink.
If Vanilla Ice ever acted like this in real life I find it hard to believe he got laid.
There's no way anyone could fall for Vanilla Ice's character.
You better be brad pitt
or could resist : P
You'd be surprised someone would 😂😂😂😂
He's definitely vanilla.
Lol you would be surprised it was the 90s
Im mailing 2 more boxes it will be their Saturday. All the handmidowns were doubles I had.
Hey Erin…..drop that zero and get with the hero. 😂
I’ve wanted to see this reaction for awhile and it went pretty much how I thought.
I relate with Jason when not being able to help but laugh every-time Ice was shown.
It is INSANE to me that the same cinematographer shot Cool as Ice and goddamn Schindler's List. This movie looks like a cross between a cartoon and a movie of the week, for Christsake! 😂
11:00 This is the most genuinely disgusted I've seen Erin in SBIG.
The last thing I ever saw Vanilla Ice do professionally was celebrity boxing. I found it channel surfing in the late 90's. He was fighting against the actor who played Willis in Different Strokes. And he lost. I thought maybe someone had spiked my coffee or something.
I have watched this 3 times...the og, the Rifftrax, now So Bad It's Good version!
"You've got to B and E to get the D in the V"
Please put that on a t-shirt and sell it in your store
Been wondering whether you guys would watch this "epic" and so glad you did. Thank God Ice switched careers and flips houses now.
Note: The d-bag boyfriend was played by John Haymes Newton aka the first actor to play Superboy in the Superboy TV series that aired in the late 80's.
Never saw that show, but I'm sure it's horrific
@@JasonBrant It's definitely of it's time. I remember watching it as a kid as it was made by the same team that produced the first 3 Superman films with Christopher Reeve and I was hyped for anything Superman related then. It hasn't aged well at all. Even the later seasons with Gerard Christopher playing Clark/Superboy aren't that great.
I still remember a line from this one, "Ditch the zero and get with the hero." Oh we laughed so damn hard when my friends and I heard that, I thought we were going to get booted from the matinee.
The line was re-used in a South Park episode.
I also grew up in the '90s/00's and I love me some 90's cheese like this. Almost as much as I love the 80's action cheese. Thanks guys!
Some great 90s cheese out there.
@@JasonBrant I'm sure there's already a long line of movie requests. But I'm telling you, I think you'd really appreciate the movie "Down" (US release name), or else called "The Shaft".
I had to do a double-take. This movie is already over thirty years old. Jeez, I feel ancient. But at least I got a few good laughs from your reactions. I had to look up Burt Gummer/Michael Goss. Couldn't believe he was the gung-ho action-hero from Tremors. The last movie in the series was just a couple years ago and he's still kicking ass.
This is EXACTLY how I like my cringe: Vanilla flavored with ice.
Hahaha! You do find some absolute jems! Keep up the good work guys👍 love from the U.K 🇬🇧
You and Erin have a relationship on camera that I absolutely envy. The fact that you can laugh as much as you did through this abysmal film and just look like you're having so much fun together is adorable and admirable. Thanks for the entertainment.
I’m prejuiced up and ready for this. I’ve seen it before and the cringe is off the charts. I look forward to your take on it. It’s hard to believe movie “dad” goes on to kill Graboids.
Cheers!
I think Tremors was a year before this.
Tremors, shouldn't that be Michael J. Fox?
@@jasonrhodes9726 Micheal J Fox is Back To The Future. Kevin Bacon was in Tremors.
Also, fun trivia: Micheal Gross, who plays Burt Gummer (and the dad in this movie), and Reba McEntire, who plays his wife in Tremors, are both stout anti-gun advocates.
@@cujoedaman that's...... odd. Feels kinda Ludo-Narrative Dissonance-y to me.
@@cujoedaman Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's disease, he probably has way more than tremors now.
@@jasonrhodes9726 You go to your room and think about what you said.
I couldn't watch the whole 22 minutes without dashing to the bathroom to release the brown tide. Vanilla Ice just makes all the matter in my bowels liquefy even faster than a plate of buffalo wings.
I wanna see Jason & Erin deepfaked in this movie. That would be fresh!
There is no denying, vanilla ice has perfect bone structure in his face 😂
He's gorgeous and still looks great to this day.
This movie is at the same level as “The Room” because it’s so bad but it’s still really enjoyable to watch.
Two items: 1) "You got to B and E to get tha D and tha B" - VanErin Ice, 2023. 2) When Erin goes tea kettle, cut to a slow zoom on a tea kettle.
This movie plays quite often on the Rifftrax Twitch channel and I’ve seen the theory floated often (and I think I agree, until we hear differently from knowledgeable sources) that Michael Gross signed on to do a completely different movie than the one that was completed. The theory goes that he signed on to do a fairly generic but gritty-ish thriller about a cop who has to go on the run and assume a different name for him and his family. And, at some point, some executive said, “Hey, my niece likes that Vanilla Ice guy - put him in the picture”. So, they smashed together a Serpico script and this…weird Pee-Wee’s Playhouse/wrong-side-of-tracks “teen” (ugh) light comedy. The tonal shifts are like a slap in the face. And the acting styles are all over the place.
Thoughts?
Off the top of my head the best line in the movie is: "Why don't you leave that zero, and get with a hero?"
Erin and Jason have got some relationship goals going on, watching bad movies together, laughing at them while having a beer, having friends over to do it with them- perfectly wholesome.
Vanilla Ice really did go gay Riddler at the end there.
The henchman was the contractor from lethal weapon 2, also was in the quest with van damme. The dad was in family ties and gun nut in tremors who’s wife was Reba McIntyre
I was born the same day that this was released.
That's right, I'm an Ice Ice Baby.
Universal knew they had a stinker on their hands. Filming began in April of 1991 just after "Ice Ice Baby" was a hit. They asked every popular actress to co-star with Rob and everyone turned it down. Gwyneth Paltrow almost accepted the role but her father had reservations and she ultimately turned it down. The actress who accepted would go on to act on "E.R." a few years later and stayed with the show for almost a decade.
The movie was a low budget production but the movie still flopped with the minimal investment. It was reported that Rob's salary was one-sixth the budget. Universal must have sent copies of the film to the video duplicators at the same time the theaters got the film. The movie was released in October of 1991 and the film debuted on video about a month later... one of the shortest windows between a wide theatrical release and home video.
"You have to B and E to get the D in the B!" 😂🤣😂 priceless!!!
The guy on TV, in the bar, on the left, with sunglasses, is Michael Gross from Tremors
This is from the 90s. The outfit at 6:27 said 'Vern's'. This is 100% related to the Ernest movies.
"Some men just wanna watch the world, Vernnnn!"
‘Drop that Zero and Get with the Hero’ - one of the most iconic lines ever said on film! 😂😂😂
The dad is Michael Gross, who played the dad in the TV sitcom Family Ties, which catapulted Michael J Fox to stardom.
Can't forget his iconic role as Burt Gummers in the Tremors films.
‘Drop the zero and get with the hero’
This is a pick up location line with a 100% success rate.
Guys - the actor at 5:44 is Michael Gross: Father in the TV show Family Ties, and he was also the gun loving survivalist, Burt Gummer, paired up with Reba MacEntire in Tremors (1990).
The Vanilla Ice strut, combined with that hair and those glasses hurts my soul.
Vanilla Ice must regret ever doing this movie. It’s so 90s entertaining though 😂❤
The Director of Photography in this movie won the Oscar 2 years later for... wait for It.... Schindler list!
Theres nothing colder then an Ice Cube baby, except Vanilla Ice
I cant believe you've never seen this. So many memories and such a huge influence on my life.
Can we please talk about how Vanilla Ice is playing Vanilla Ice, making him 24-years-old in this movie. Whereas the female love interest is graduating high school making her barely 18 (legal, yes. Creepy, Absolutely). And he's famous. So, major power dynamic problems here.
And she just decides to follow this guy around while he plays his shows? What about what she wants? What about her passions? Her horses? Girl, you don't know him. He doesn't even ride with a helmet. That's just one red flag in a massive forest of crimson flags.
Teenagers are good at bad decisions.
Why don’t we remember it is a movie.. also she had a family that was so fucked up someone kidnapped her brother..
