We get a brief shot of it when Johnny and Kathy ride over there later, when listening to the ransom tape the kidnappers sent, Johnny recognizes the sound of the machinery in the background, letting him locate where they are.
Character Shilling: Kathy's little brother literally gasps with wonderment at Johnny's coolness.Van Winkle look as Hip-Hop as he thinks he is. But Not Too White: Kathy's family make Mr.They serve as his crew in his rap group/motorcycle gang/whatever they are. Black Best Friend: Johnny has not one but three.Better Partner Assertion: Following a conversation with Kathy and her stick-in-the-mud boyfriend Nick, Johnny tells her (right in front of Nick, no less) that she should, "Drop that zero, and get with the hero." It elicits a genuinely amused laugh from her.Ice somehow manages to ride up next to her on a loud sporting motorcycle without anyone hearing or noticing him before he appears on camera. Behind the Black: When Kathy is walking home from the Sugar Shack (in the middle of the street, for some reason), the bad guys spot her and try to run her over (or something, it's not very clear what their intentions were).Alternate DVD Commentary: RiffTrax took a shot at it in 2013.Almost Kiss: Johnny and Kathy are about to kiss/straight up have sex when the little brother walks through the unlocked door and interrupts.Actor Allusion: Apart from Johnny being no more than Vanilla Ice As Himself, the name "Johnny Van Owen" evokes Ice's real name, Robert Van Winkle.Now has a character sheet, under construction. Naomi Campbell makes a cameo in the opening credits. That hasn't stopped the film itself from becoming one of the stranger 90s artifacts.

That said, the fault can't entirely be pinned on the movie itself, as Ice's reputation had fallen hard before the film was even released due to various controversies. The film sunk at the box office, grossing one-sixth of its budget, and Ice's performance was critically panned. This culminates in a Hostage Situation with Kathy's little brother.īut Ice- sorry, Johnny, eventually saves the day and all is well in the end. well, just because he is Vanilla Ice, basically. Her father ( Michael Gross) assumes Johnny is one of them just because. But things start going sideways, as it turns out her family is in hiding from bad guys (don't expect this to be adequately explained).
Along the way, he finds time to help some nerdy white people get their groove on at a local club, and have a Falling-in-Love Montage at a construction site. Originally she's repulsed by his approach (probably because their Meet Cute involves Johnny accidentally knocking her off a horse), but before long, she finds his Improbable Hairstyle and 1991 catchphrases irresistible, much to her boyfriend's consternation.

What does Johnny do with all this free time? Scope out the pretty honors student down the street (Kristen Minter) and put the moves on her of course, her steady boyfriend be damned. One of their bikes goes on the fritz, but as luck would have it, they run across a kooky old couple who offer to fix it, and even let them stay for a few days. Ice plays Johnny Van Owen, the leader of a hip hop/dance crew/biker gang/ who knows, who are passing through a small, predominately white, conservative town. The film is a good old-fashioned teen rebel flick, fashioned to fit into the strange window of time that was the early 1990s hip-hop scene. The director is David Kellogg, whose directorial, er, "style" would be repeated in Inspector Gadget (1999).
