* TokenGoodTeammate: Was not among the Jets who try AttemptedRape on Anita, though that could simply be because he wasn't there at the time (he'd gone to make sure none of the Sharks were on the prowl for Tony). That was probably a move on the director's part for Ice not to be present for the rape scene, as he had just sang about being 'Cool', and he probably wouldn't have condoned it.

Averted however in the 2021 film where unfortunately he does join in on the attempted rape by locking the doors so the jet girls can’t save Anita and she can’t escape.
