"The opening sequence of Bring It On is in a word unapologetic. A dozen cheerleaders scream I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot in synchronicity and I have yet to meet anyone (and I have tried) who has the willpower to look away. It's certainly not an exaggeration to say I wanted to be one of them that is, one of the Toros, Rancho Carne high school's premier cheer squad."
"the bright-eyed, callow but obsessive new leader whose ambitious plans include recruiting the jaded new girl and disenchanted former gymnast, Missy (Eliza Dushku). But as a city transplant, skeptical of the San Diego suburbs' burdensome pep, Missy quickly recognizes her new team's performance for what it is: a ripped-off, whitewashed version of an all-Black squad's routine: the East Compton Clovers. Their captain, Isis (played by Gabrielle Union), tells Torrance that her predecessor has been flagrantly stealing their moves for years."
The opening sequence of Bring It On delivers unapologetic, synchronized cheerleading spectacle that immediately captivates viewers. The Toros, Rancho Carne High School's premier squad, aim for a sixth national championship under outgoing captain Big Red and new leader Torrance. Torrance recruits Missy, a jaded city transplant and former gymnast, whose skepticism reveals that the Toros' routines are copied from the East Compton Clovers, an all-Black squad. Isis, the Clovers' captain, confronts Torrance about years of plagiarism. Torrance attempts a cheer intervention, seeks original choreography, and urges her team to shed entitled attitudes while navigating rivalry and identity.
