Vanilla Ice's role in Secret Of The Ooze
 

Just thought I'd pass this along,but I have the "privledge" :D of owning Vanilla's 1991 autobiography{Ice By Ice} ,and he mentions in it that he wasnt originally going to be in the movie.

He said it was originally going to to be played by a woman,and that the writers and producers didnt even know who Vanilla was until the young son of the movie's executive of production{Tom Gray} recommended him to his dad.

Apparently,he and Coming Out Of our Shells Band were on the same label{SBK Records},and that made it easy to contact Ice.

Ice's scene was filmed in NC in Oct. '90 on a soundstage,which was surprising to me...the Dockshore Club seemed like a real club{albeit when I was seven.}


*Side note to this really long topic...according to IMDB.com{who by all means,isnt always right}says Keno was created because the producers enjoyed his work as Donnie's stunt double in TMNT 1.*

Take that Keno haters!!.......Just kidding,he annoys me,too.. 8)

Keno was cool to me. :)

What skit would that be? :-?

LOL! That was one of my favorite In Living Color skits.

I had no idea Vanilla Ice wasn't originally planned to be part of the second movie. As corny as that scene is today, I still like it and can't imagine TMNT II without the Ninja Rap. :embarass:

Oh yeah... And Ernie Reyes Jr. (AKA Keno) was Donny's stunt double in the first film. I'm not surprised that the bigwigs were impressed because Donny did have a lot of the cooler fight scenes, like the one where he takes out Foot Soldiers while riding a skateboard. But I agree on the Casey issue. He should've been included in the film to some capacity.

I agree,Casey was sorely missed,and his role in TMNT 3 wasnt the same Casey I loved three years prior.

Thanks Azure,for clarifying that stunt double thing....I said said what Vanilla's book did,so it might have not been 100% accurate.

Anyone that hasn't seen it can download the clip from here.

It is also on jimcarreyonline.com with a few other clips but it is in RM format.

Cool! Yah I have that Video too with Vanilla Ice. I don't like Keno either. I think Casey would have been much better.

Vanilla Ice ruined the end of the movie with his crap.

Keno was ok, but he was in all intents,etc a filler character. He really didn't do a whole lot. Ernie Reyes Jr is awesome though, he has talent in the arts. I saw him on his or his dad's site, forget, wow..

I dont care for keno but everytime I watch TMNT II and Vanilla Ice appears it totally ruins it , It even becomes embarassing :dead:
