History Film / BringItOn

* AmbiguouslyGay: Missy in the first film ''Bring It On''. She wears baggy tomboyish clothes, has unkempt hair, and lacks a male love interest. When Whitney and Courtney keep calling her an "Uber-Dyke" she doesn't deny any of it. And she shares a lot of onscreen chemistry and an emotionally charged close friendship with Torrance.

%%* GirlPosse: Each cheerleading squad.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the first movie, Big Red gives one to Torrance for her inability to lead the squad while referring to the cheers they've done as "borrowing."

* [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]]: Isis isn't a physically intimidating figure, but we can immediately peg her as the captain of the Clovers because of her intense expressions, movements, and voice. She's determined to win, but she's also committed to her principles and doing right by her community. She'll punish bad behavior from her teammates if necessary, but she knows how to motivate them to get the best results. In short, she commands instant respect from her squad and their fans in a way that Torrance just can't match.

* PacManFever: The first movie had Torrance's brother playing VideoGame/TwistedMetal3, and it looks to avert this trope, as it shows him playing on a [=PS1=], with appropriate sound effects, until he makes another gay joke about her cheerleader boyfriend, where she responds by ripping out his controller so hard it pops the machine open, revealing nothing inside.

* PowerWalk: When the teams strut forth toward the cheer contests.

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 darkly ethnic working-class neighborhood east of Los Angeles. At her new school, Britney is viewed with suspicion by most of the dark-skinned students, especially by Camille (Solange Knowles), the overly confident and acerbic black leader of the ethnic 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 ethnic Warriors' ethnic cheer squad. The two other non-black students being 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).

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the first movie, Big Red gives one to Torrance for her inability to lead the squad while referring to the cheers they've done as "burrowing."
--> '''Big Red:''' Don't be so naive, Torrance. Look, the truth is I was a real leader, okay? [[IDidWhatIHadToDo I did what I had to do]] to win at nationals and ever since I handed the region over to you, you run my squad straight into the ground! If I made any mistake as a squad leader, it wasn't burrowing cheers, it was announcing you as my successor.

* LuckyTranslation: In the first movie, Torrance says "You know, mothers have killed to get their daughters on squads," to which Mrs. Shipman replies with "That mother didn't kill anybody. She hired a hit man." The Japanese language allowed for a pun that expressed Mrs Shipman's attitude much more clearly and succinctly:
-->'''Torrance''': Aren't you jiman (proud) [to have a cheerleader for a daughter]?
-->'''Mrs Shipman''': I'm not ''ji''man, I'm ''ga''man (enduring it).

%%* BareYourMidriff: The uniforms in the first three movies, and the cheerleaders also do so out of uniform often in at least the first two.

* JiggleShow: Every movie features lots of this.

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 the Creator/{{Syfy}} on October 8, 2022.

* BrokenPedestal: Big Red to Torrance and the other cheerleaders once it's revealed that she stole almost all the cheers from the clovers. And despite disliking her for her [[AlphaBitch alpha bitch]] status, they're understandably pissed off to find this out.
