Vanilla Ice's album To The Extreme sold fifteen million copies. It is important to keep this in mind while you watch Cool As Ice, because at some point in time, you will inevitably shriek at the TV, "Who thought this was a good idea? How did this happen? Are they really trying to make 'yep yep' his catchphrase? Why???" And the answer to most of those questions is: Vanilla Ice's album To The Extreme sold fifteen million copies.

Vanilla Ice (That's My Boy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret Of The Ooze) stars as a troubled French missionary volunteering at a refugee camp in the Sudan we're just kidding he plays a white rapper. The only stretch he gives his acting abilities is playing a character named "Johnny" instead of his real name. At this moment, we will point out for the record that his hilarious real name is Robert Van Winkle.

The sleepy little town that Vanilla rides his motorcycle through is not prepared for his chillaxed baditude and funky fresh fashions. Or perhaps they are just stunned that in a movie whose entire reason for existence is the star had a wildly popular album, none of the songs from said wildly popular album make an appearance. No Ice Ice Baby. No Play That Funky Music. Not even Havin' A Roni. In fact, there is not even the vaguest hint that there was even a Roni anywhere to be Had on the set of Cool As Ice.

Despite the lack of Ronis, Cool As Ice is still one of the finest looking bad movies of all time. This is because the director of photography went on to do the cinematography for films such as Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and Lincoln. That's right, a mere three years after Janusz Kaminski made sure that Vanilla Ice's Stussy shirt was properly lit during the construction site frolicking scene, he was finding the right lens to shoot Liam Neeson's "I could have got more" speech in Schindler's List.

It is perhaps the only movie that is more 90s than the entirety of VH1s I Love The 90s series. Stop, collaborate and listen as Mike, Kevin and Bill team up to riff Cool As Ice.

The HD option for this VOD includes the usual files, PLUS an additional 720p mp4!http://www.rifftrax.com/vod/cool-as-ice

Hey guys, there's no download option for the new HD mp4 on the "Download" page. I got it from my emailed receipt, but you might want to add that to the d/l page in the future.

[Lembach]

Same here. Snacks purchased. Ready to chill with ice.

Can't believe I paid extra to see Vanilla Ice in HD...I did...but it just seems like something you'd almost want to be blurry instead....

Something tells me that by the time I finish downloading this, Rifftrax will have made more money on it than it took in in theaters.

[MrTorso]

according to Box Office Mojo it made 1.1 million. With a budget of 6 mil.  Ouch.

I remember when it came out. A few buddies and I planned to hit the bar and then go riff on it. But we couldn't go opening weekend and when we went on what should have been weekend two we found that it had already been pulled from the local theater.

The guys better hide. Rob doesn't handle teasing well.
