Union's character even has a boyfriend in the trailers who is nowhere to be seen in the film. The additional footage was not included in the final film or available anywhere outside of the trailers.

** Eliza Dushku frequently plays the tomboy GoodBadGirl, who's usually an ActionGirl. Here, she's in a teen comedy, and the humor comes from her having to be more feminine.
** At the time, Gabrielle Union showed up in teen comedies like ''Film/ShesAllThat'' and ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'' as the TokenBlackFriend. Here, while she's in a reactive role to a white heroine, she's a HeroAntagonist with her own story and motivations.
* RealitySubtext: Eliza Dushku describes herself as being extremely similar to Missy - a tomboy and as far removed from a cheerleader as it was possible to be. Her audition for the film paralleled Missy's - she showed up all in black and responded to a question about whether she'd been a cheerleader with "no but I used to beat them up". Sparky telling Missy to smile, and her only grimacing reflects that Eliza had to have additional practices to work on her facial expressions - as she looked angry on camera all the time.
* SleeperHit: Kirsten Dunst describes the movie as being "a little Universal movie that no one cared about", and Peyton Reed remarks that there was very little ExecutiveMeddling because it was a low budget comedy that wasn't expected to do great business. Needless to say, no one in the cast or crew expected it to be a Box Office smash that became one of the defining teen comedies of the 2000s.

** Gabrielle Union has said that the original title was 'Cheer Fever', and she personally asked for some of the dialogue to be changed as a condition of signing on; Isis was a more stereotypical SassyBlackWoman for one.
--> "She was like a bad stereotype. There was a line in the original script that was like, “Meow! Me-gonna-ow you! My nails are long, sharp, and ready to slash!”…. Huh? And that girl ends up at U.C.

She doesn’t need to speak in made-up, Blaxploitation dialogue."

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: From the fashion to the music, everything about the first film screams late 90s/early 00s. Additionally, the reveal that Big Red had been stealing the routines from the Clovers would be much harder to pull off in the days of the internet, social media and more widespread videos among teens. Big Red probably wouldn't have to steal routines from them; she could likely get inspiration from [=YouTube=]. As could the Toros later in the film.
