What happens

Cool as Ice is a 1991 American musical teen drama film, directed by David Kellogg, written by David Stenn and starring rapper Vanilla Ice in his feature film debut. The plot focuses on Johnny Van Owen, a freewheeling, motorcycle-riding rapper who arrives in a small town and meets Kathy Winslow, an honor student who catches his eye. Meanwhile, Kathy's father Gordon, who is in witness protection, is found by Clarke and Morrisey, the corrupt police officers he escaped from years ago. Developed as a vehicle for Vanilla Ice, the film was widely panned by critics, and was a box office bomb, grossing only $1.2 million from a $6 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
