When this idea first sprouted in my mind, I had to decide which movie to focus on: Bring It On (the original) with Kirsten Dunst, Bring It On Again (which nobody I know has seen more than once), Bring It On: All or Nothing with Hayden Panettiere, Bring It On: In it to Win It with Ashley Benson (pre-PLL), or Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (again, I’ve never heard of anyone watching this twice). Ultimately, I decided on Bring It On (the original) since it seems to half-way stick to what cheerleading actually is.
Let the games begin!
- “Bitchin’” is not a word ever used in high school cheers.
- Neither is “whore.”
- I like this chant but I’ll never admit it
- I'm still big red.
- BF/GF cheerleader couples never happen in high school. So unfair.
- Where is their coach?
- Oh nice, actual high school level pyramids.
- If I studied as much time I cheered, I would have better grades, too.
- Cheerleaders do win more trophies than football players. Sorry not sorry.
- Again, Where is your coach?
- I remember "Be Aggressive!"
- Slutty dancing is all they do in these movies.
- These “high school cheerleaders” look either 20 or 10.
- Oh. My.Gosh. This girl's stunt double rocks. That tumbling was pretty awesome.
- Thank you Torrence for actually explaining what a competition is!
- Brr its cold in here!!
- Why do ALL of these high schools have crop tops? When was that ever a thing?
- I understand "stealing" a cheer, but seriously don't we all use the same ones anyway?
- I've never seen a real spirit stick except for, like, once.
- I've learned a new routine in two days. They could definitely learn a new one without hiring someone.
- I wish people at my school supported the cheerleaders.
- Hair should not be down at games!
- No matter what, the away team always has ugly uniforms.
- I love cheer-offs.
- Real legitimate stunts. Yes!
- Hey! I've actually done a cheer car wash. No bikinis involved, though.
- Maybe the spray tan trend should've caught on earlier...
- If a choreographer shows up in leather boots with belt and button up shirt, make them leave because they are NOT a choreographer.
- CHEERLEADERS ARE NOT DANCERS WHO HAVE GONE RETARDED! Retarded shouldn't even be used in this context anyway! We are a hybrid SPORT of dancing and gymnastics. Deal with it.
- SPIRIT FINGERS
- SPIRIT FINGERS
- SPIRIT FINGERS
- THESE ARE NOT SPIRIT FINGERS. THESE ARE SPIRIT FINGERS.
- Wait, I've never actually done spirit fingers seriously.
- OMG I LOVE UCA!
- I want to be an extra in a cheerleading a movie.
- You can never use too much hairspray.
- These routines aren't too bad, but the music is AWFUL!
- More tumbling…
- THAT STUNT IS LIKE SO FREAKING ILLEGAL WHY WHY WHY
- Point your toes, please.
- Prepare for total domination.
- Yes, facials!
- I actually hate Big Red.
- I would break up with my boyfriend if he told me I wasn't captain material.
- Devoting every hour to practice before nationals is the norm, though?
- "You're a cheerleader?"
- Sorry, but if my enemy wasn't going to nationals, I wouldn't ask my dad's company to help them.
- But still, How dare they rip that check up!
- I do dances and motions in my living room all the time.
- This is a pretty cool nationals venue.
- ESPN, Yea!
- These warm ups look really crowded.
- I wonder if these teams are real.
- Awesome stunt doubling going on right now…
- And more illegal stunts with ugly uniforms.
- That was horrible synchronization.
- I've seen vomit at too many competitions.
- Seriously haven't we had enough illegal stunts? Are we trying to see how many more we can fit into the last 15 minutes of the movie?
- But wait! I just noticed they don't have ribbons or bows on. None of them. Why?
- Also, why don't any of these routines have cheer portions? Like this isn't all-star. Where are the words?!
- Since when did they award $20,000 for first place?!?
- Yay, second place! JK, I wanted them to win.
- Second place does NOT feel like first, but still a half decent movie.
- "Oh Mickey You're So Fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey. Hey. Hey. Hey."
- I only watch this movie for the ending.
- This is also the only reason I know this song.
