Production

Initial development for the film began after record executives at SBK learned about Ice Cube's involvement in Boyz n the Hood and wanted to create a film project for Vanilla Ice to capitalize on the success of his debut album To the Extreme. Filming began in April 1991. The role of Kathy Winslow was offered to Gwyneth Paltrow but her father Bruce Paltrow advised against accepting it, as he felt the film could hurt her career.
