Vanilla Ice in TMNT II

Hey dudes (and dudettes!),

Just wondering what you all think of Vanilla Ice's short apperance in TMNT II? From what I've read on various mailing lists I lurk around on, the majority of people hate the scene because it's so goofy and camp and that the turtles are supposed to be dark and serious ninja's who keep to the shadow's and not ones who would party in a room full of human's yada, yada, yada.

While that's true I and I agree, I think the nightclub scene's really funny. It always makes me laugh, especially when I look back and remember how crazy people went over Vanilla Ice during his Ice Ice Baby days.

So what do you think of the scene? Crap camp or cool comedy? Cast your votes!

Trust me, you don't wanna know what I think about Vanilla Ice. Seriously tough, the whole movie was silly unlike the darker original one, it isn't Vanilla Ice that makes it so much inferior.

Being a fan of the sily side of the TMNT world, I loved everything "Secret of the Ooze" had to offer! But I will admit that the Vanilla Ice segment just puts me to sleep.

I haven't seen the movie in years, but didn't the Turtles just bust through a wall and find Vanilla Ice on the other side of it?

LOL!

There is no way Nirvana or AiC would have done it.. I'm not sure about Soundgarden, but they seem sillier. Plus none of those bands were really famous yet, and they needed a "Teeny Bopper" Icon to do the scene.

Plus they wanted someone really family freindly, and Ice fit the bill
And I don't know about you, but my parents wouldn't have let me see the movie if they were in it

It's pretty funny that Vanilla Ice had such a "family friendly image" since we've since learned that he was getting wasted on coke, smack and booze every night, and eventually tried to kill himself. Not like "hah hah" funny, but like, y'know, ironic.

And I think everyone agrees on the single greatest thing in "Secret of the Ooze", the sole thing that made that movie the classic that it is...

"BIG DADDY COOL" KEVIN NASH! TMNT2 RUNS ON "DIESEL POWER", BAY-BEE!!!

I don't know, I don't think it was too bad. Certainly not good, but it didn't ruin the whole movie.

Okay, so I just liked it because of Raph's dance moves, is that so wrong?

if they would've done this movie nowadays they would have some weird person like that guy who was with n'sync then went out with spears just to stop the gay rumors

but it would be cool to see my idol in a TMNT movie

raphael and conan o' brien

now thats some action!

They should have used someone timeless, like the absolute greatest singer/musician of all time: RAY CHARLES!

Wouldn't that be great! It'd be like the "Blues Brothers" but with Ninja Turtles fighting monsters in a dance club! I'm serious! It would ROCK!

maybe george dubya bush! then it'll be a hit cuz we'll get the hillbillies in the theaters! zing!

and for the ending shredder will impale bush on a flag pole and for once the four turtles and saki will share a cowabunga!

then al gore will move into the white house after cheney dies

ending with a patented "THE END?"

I already came up with the perfect "Director's Cut" ending for TMNT2, some ways back.

The TMNT face off against SuperShredder, when suddenly, Shredder removes his mask and helmet to reveal KEVIN NASH himself. Nash's "nWo Wolfpac" Music plays as he proceeds to JackKnife Power Bomb each of the TMNT off the pier in rapid-fire succession. Hell, he could take out Vanilla Ice too, for good measure. Of course, there's still ten minutes left in the movie, so Kev proceeds to dip into his usal bag of tricks as he stands in front of the camera, mic in hand... tossing his hair, making jokes about Scott Hall being in rehab, "shout-outs to HBK", jokes about Lex Luger and Viagra, and statements like "the only thing real about this movie is the money"... this continues through the closing credits, with Kev not stopping even after he is cut off by the screen fading to black.

If the movie ended that way, it woulda been Oscar-worthy. Seriously.

Yeah and than the world ends. It turns out Al Gore was really a robot after all!

Yes, i think that Vanilla Ice appears in the seconds movie when the Tokka and Rahazar lost the battle against the TMNT and they returned a Dog and a Turtle... But i don't remember correctly the movie
