A very strange 1991 film starring [[
In it, Ice is the leader of a biker gang who falls in love with a pretty honors student. Her family is in hiding from [[Obviously Evil|bad guys]] (don't expect this to be adequately explained). Her father assumes Ice is one of them just because... well, just because he ''is'' Vanilla Ice, basically. But Ice eventually saves the day and all is well in the end.

* [[I Am Not Leonard Nimoy]]
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Way to show up on television while you're in the Witness Relocation Program, Mr. Winslow.

Line 44:
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: It just screams early [[The Nineties|90s]].
* [[We Care]]: [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|"b kool stay n skool"]] in the credits. Ouch.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The role of Kathy was originally offered to Gwyneth Paltrow, whose father Bruce forbade her from accepting it, because of the sexuality in the screenplay. Judging from how hard the film bombed and how [[Emma|many]] [[Shakespeare in Love|great]] [[The Royal Tenenbaums|films]] [[Iron Man (
