1	* BillingDisplacement: In the end credits, Naomi Campbell is listed before Vanilla Ice.
2	* BoxOfficeBomb: Made $1.1 million at the box office. Budget: $6 million.
3	* CreatorBacklash:
4	** David Kellogg completely disowned the movie. He then went on to direct his only other film, ''Film/InspectorGadget1999''.
5	** Ice made an appearance on ''Podcast/HowDidThisGetMade'' in 2012, and seemed amused by so many people even ''remembering'' his movie.
6	* DawsonCasting: Kathy and Nick are meant to be high schoolers, but actors Kristen Minter and John Newton are obviously in their late twenties.
7	* HeAlsoDid: You wouldn't be blamed for believing the careers of everyone involved lacked anything notable after this movie.
8	** Writer David Stenn subsequently worked on ''Series/TheLWord'' and ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire''.
9	** Producer Lionel Wigram later received producer credit on [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows some actually]] [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem successful]] [[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 movies]].
10	** As the main page mentions, the film's Director of Photography, Janusz Kamiński, went on to be Creator/StevenSpielberg's main Cinematographer for all his films since Film/SchindlersList.
11	* MoneyDearBoy: Ice admits that he mainly took the role because he was offered over a million dollars to star in it.
12	* StarDerailingRole:
13	** Ice's first big attempt to promote himself in film ultimately ensured that he would be sticking with rap for the better part of his career, save for a notoriously SoBadItsGood cameo in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze''.
14	** It also badly hurt the hopes of newcomer Kristin Minter (up until then better known for playing Heather, one of Kevin's cousins in ''Film/HomeAlone'') of breaking through as an A-list actress. Her most notable role ever since was a largely background role on ''Series/{{ER}}''.
15	* WagTheDirector: It was Ice's star vehicle, so they let him do some of this from the script's inception. This lead to [[ThrowItIn a few improvs he did]] getting kept in (according to Ice, the famous "drop that zero" line was his idea, as well as "lookie lookie lookie in Kat's black bookie"), but even more than that, Ice wanted [[AuthorAppeal lots of motorbikes.]]
16	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The role of Kathy was originally offered to Creator/GwynethPaltrow, whose father Bruce forbade her to accept it, because of the sexuality in the screenplay. Judging from how hard the film bombed and Paltrow's later success, she probably owes her father a huge favor.
