History Film / BringItOn

Just when you thought that the ''Bring It On'' films had nowhere new to go, Universal (via their Universal 1440 label) reimagines the franchise but this time with a horror/slasher twist. The Diablos cheer squad, led by Abby (Kerri Medders) and [=McKayla=] (Tiera Skovbye), decide to spend Halloween holding an unsanctioned cheer practice at an abandoned school after their principial (Missi Pyle) warns them against using dangerous stunts in their routines. Unfortunately for the squad, a serial killer has taken over the school and is picking the team off one-by-one. This is the first film in the series to have a female director, Karen Lam, working from a story by Alyson Fouse (who wrote the previous four ''Bring It On'' films). The film will see a home video and digital release on September 27, 2022 before premiering on Creator/{{Syfy}} on October 8, 2022.

Southern California high school senior MightyWhitey Carson ([[Series/PrettyLittleLiars Ashley]] [[Series/{{Eastwick}} Benson]]) arrives at the all-important "Cheer Camp Nationals" determined to lead her squad, the West High Sharks, to victory. But chic New Yorker MightyWhitey Brooke and her multi-ethnic team, the East High Jets, are equally steadfast in their pursuit of the competition's coveted "Spirit Stick". As tension mounts between the two rival squads, Carson falls for fellow cheerleader Penn, not realizing he's a Jet. When Brooke discovers the budding romance, she raises the stakes by challenging Carson to a one-on-one cheer-off. A spectacular, ''Theatre/WestSideStory''-type "cheer fighting" sequence turns uglier than expected and cheerleaders on both sides are wounded and unable to compete! Basically, ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' with cheercrips and cheerbloods! This installment is known for incorporating more portmanteau cheerwords than any of the previous ''Bring It On'' movies (and that includes ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'').

Same-old, same-old, except for once the primary character isn't white. Singer/actress Christina Milian stars as sassy Cuban-American cheer captain Lina Cruz, whose world is turned upside-down when her family moves from the urban streets of East Los Angeles to the sunny suburban beach town of Malibu. At her new school, Latina Lina clashes with bitchy Avery, the ultra-competitive all-star cheer captain. And though Avery may appear Latina due to her deep tan and dark brunette hair, she is in fact racist against Lina, but not as much as Avery's black best friend, Kayla, who can't open her mouth without pooping out racial slurs. Avery takes a special dislikin' to Lina for being a potentially dethroning cheerleader as well as race-mixing with Avery's super-cute brother Evan, who has an affinity for [[Series/{{Blossom}} quirky hats]]. Lina's always been able to rise to the challenge, but can she create an all-star squad, beat Avery at the Spirit Championships and still keep her romance with Evan? This is notable as the only film in the series other than the original to have a soundtrack album released (and the only one to have any instrumental score cues included)... well, that's ''something''.

Britney Allen (Creator/HaydenPanettiere, playing a cheerleader for the first [[Series/{{Heroes}} but not]] [[Film/ILoveYouBethCooper the last]] time) is living the white cheerleader's dream. At the elite (meaning that there is only one non-white student, and that student knows martial arts because she's Asian) seaside campus of Pacific Vista High School, Britney is captain of the cheerleading squad and the envy of everyone at school -- especially one overly-ambitious teammate. When Britney hears about a forthcoming audition for a top cheer squad to appear in [[SpecialGuest Rihanna]]'s upcoming television special, she is determined that her Pirates cheer squad will capture the coveted spot. But Britney's life turns catastrophic when her father's job takes her family to Crenshaw Heights, a working-class neighborhood east of Los Angeles. At her new school, Britney is viewed with suspicion by most of the students, especially by Camille (Solange Knowles), the overly confident and acerbic black leader of the Crenshaw Heights Warriors cheerleading squad. No one is more surprised than Camille, however, when "white girl" Britney proves herself and secures a spot on the Warriors' cheer squad. The two other non-black students are a heterosexual cheerleader Latino beefcake love interest, as well as a Latina who speaks half of her dialogue in Spanish. Britney and her new teammates work feverishly to prepare the audition for Rihanna, incorporating some edgy new moves into their performance. Now the pressure is on, as the Warriors find themselves locked in a high-stakes cheer-off with Pacific Vista, Britney's old school! During the no-holds-barred fight to the finish, friendships, loyalties and talents are tested -- but only one team can come out on top! This installment is renowned for being the most similar to ''Film/MeanGirls''. This entry is also notable for having two former [[Series/GuidingLight Lizzie Spaulding]]s in the cast (Hayden Panettiere and Marcy Rylan).
