The intro is 10 minutes of pure torture

But the lyrics "The Gays are amazed" and "My gun is my mic" are classic


Of course maybe that's where Prince gun the gun mic idea

Who are you?!

I haven't seen either...


...so I'm gonna go with Graffiti Bridge.

Which movie is worse? Graffiti Bridge or Cool as ICE?

Although Graffiti Bridge, as horrible as it was, did not derail Prince's career the same way that Cool As Ice coupled with Arsenial Hall diminished Vanilla Ice's career, it did serve as an ominous sign of things to come. Like Princes near career-ending symbol, " " for example.

Both movies movies, in their own unique way, are legendary amongst their fans, though I concede Cool As Ice is probably better known outside of Mr. Ice's fanbase than Graffiti Bridge would be outside of Prince's Fam-base.





This is a very informative, objective review of Cool as Ice : http://www.x-entertainmen...s/385.html



And what better place to get objective reviews of Graffiti bridge (the movie) than from the org itself: http://prince.org/msg/7/256351





It's the showdown folks!

You know. I'm going to watch 8 mile and Mariah's 'glitter' to see if they are in the same category.

I swear to gawd, when I watched the final musical scene in Glitter, I though Mariah...oh...forgive me, I mean, Billie was going to pull that whole impossibly long staring match "The Kid" from purple rain had with the audience before starting the song Purple Rain

cool as ice might even be worse. omg that part where they run thru the houses being built....and that song playing "cuz i love u girl...."

never seen ccol as ice so i am gonna have to say graffiti bridge is better even if its only for the fact we have ended up with this gif

OK, I've now seen both movies (just watched Cool as Ice) and I have to say that Cool as Ice wins this one! It's so bad it's good! If only for that WTF? moment when Ice says "Yo I'm outta here" and is asked "Where are ya goin'?" "I'm gonna go across the street and , uh, schling a schlong"

And of course there's this scene:



....and that motorcycle scene:

8 Mile is actually really good.

I had the misfortune to see Cool as Ice whilst in Florida in December (holed up in the apartment with bad morning sickness, with bugger all else on the telly) My GOD it was BAAAAD!!!.... maybe it was that film that made me sick

I haven't seen GB in the longest time and can't really remember much about it (though I am quite tempted to buy it on dvd now )

I'm gonna have to say that Cool As Ice is one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Vanilla Ice was a one ALBUM, ONE HIT POP NOVELTY. Prince's career was well established by then and its endured to this day, in comparison to Vanill aI ce whose career may have lasted 1 year at most. Even comparing Prince to Spunilla Ice is an insult inself.
True Grafitti bridge was a weak movie, but its a Godfather or Shawshank Redemption, compared to Cool as Ice which effectively killed off what was left of his career.
Grafitti Bridge was weak, but the album was pretty good and Prince redeemed himself since, Vanilla Ice, well he got a Jim Carrey send up and thatw as it.

I'm going to say GB. At least I can understand the plot of Cool as Ice. And where would trashy talk shows be without the line "Drop that zero and get with a hero."?

Did Graffiti Bridge have Naomi Campbell singing the theme song???

I didn't think so!!!
