Vanilla Ice's role in Secret Of The Ooze

[TournamentFightersOwns]

Just thought I'd pass this along,but I have the "privledge" 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..

Keno was cool to me.

Bah, screw Keno. Casey would have been a better player. Razza frazzin...

Every time I think about Ice I am reminded of not only TMNT II but also Jim Carrey in that In Living Color skit.

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.

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.

The one with the Fly Girls and Jim wearing a jacket that said something like, "My Mother Made This Jacket." It started with him saying, "Alright, kick it!" and he kicks his foot and his sneaker flies off. That right there had me laughing for five minutes.

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..

[zkarlette]

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

[KROW]

I thought it rather cheesy, too.

Great link, Orochi, and what a huuuuuuuge picture, Archon. Da-yamn.
