| Bring It On | comment |
Bring It On is a Troperiffic film franchise, currently containing six installments. Only the first was released as a theatrical film, the other five were released Direct to Video.This franchise is mainly about one cheerleading squad squaring off against another, both taking it way too seriously.Though it is a series, each sequel is more In Name Only, rather than a real sequel. There are few recurring elements besides cheerleading competitions where hilarity usually ensues throughout the attitude-filled drama. No two movies contain the same characters or locations.A major theme in the series is ethnicity and race. The writers/producers view race as very important, whereas the characters are nonchalant about it (except maybe the villain used as an outlet for the writers to express latent racism).More mildly the casting of cheerleaders as the heroes is itself oddly subversive (and refreshing) given the nearly universal negative depiction of cheerleading in other High School Movies. The films are not beyond a little ribbing at the sport but are clearly sympathetic.Not to be confused with the trope named "Bring It". | |

Title Drop: Surprisingly averted for most of the movies. They mostly say "bring it" instead of "bring it on". The lone exception is All or Nothing, where "bring it on" is said by Britney. | |

Graceful Loser: Torrance and her teammate come second at the cheerleading championships at the end of the first film, but they're pleased because the winning streak they had before that was built on several years of stealing routines from another squad. | |

Less so with Roxanne, who only joined The Truth believing they'd be on a team where their voice would be heard, only to find out that Hannah is just as bad if not worse than Destiny, who has changed, and thus reconciles with their friends and rejoins the Rebels. | |

Disqualification-Induced Victory: The Toros don't score very well in the semi-finals (using a routine that's the exact duplicate of another squad's routine, which is normally grounds for disqualification) but because their coach is a fraud who'd been hacking the same cheer routine to different schools, they get to go to the finals anyway. | |

Pac Man Fever: The first movie had Torrance's brother playing Twisted Metal 3, 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. | |

My Grandma Can Do Better Than You: In the first movie, the Toros cheer squad is beloved and successful. The Toros football team, on the other hand, is a dumpster fire. In one game, the Toros players' opponents taunt them by saying that the cheer squad would be more of a challenge. It's heavily implied that the opponents are actually right. | |

Determined to compete with the Clovers on equal ground, Torrance brings them a check from her dad's law firm, which Isis immediately tears up and throws in her face, refusing to accept "guilt money" from her squad's rich white archrivals. The Clovers later secure the money they need from a talk-show host who herself grew up in Compton. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: 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." Torrance gives one to Aaron for not being there for her when she needed help the most, trying to sell her out to Courtney and Whitney, and catching him cheating on her with another girl. She and the other girl ends up breaking up with him. | |

"Not Wearing Pants" Dream | |
| Bring It On / int_d07900bc | comment |
"Not Wearing Pants" Dream: The film begins with Torrance having a nightmare where she's doing a cheerleading performance in front of the whole school, and as she finishes, we see her Toplessness from the Back in front of the crowd that is staring, laughing, and generally Eating the Eye Candy. She resorts to using her pom-poms to cover herself up before she wakes up and realizes it was just a bad dream. | |

Training from Hell | |
| Bring It On / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: In the leadup to Nationals in the first movie, Torrance requires that her squad practices constantly. Justified in the sense that they had to create and perfect a routine in three weeks, but still quite harsh. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Bring It On / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: 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, holding hands and even sharing a bed together (in the DVD commentary the director records the disappointment of the audience that this didn't lead to anything further). | |

Artistic License – Sports | |
| Bring It On / int_e462893a | comment |
Artistic License – Sports: The outfits are too revealing for high school cheer and the movie features cheer routines that are banned at high school level due to safety. This is eventually addressed in All or Nothing where a captain defends her use of an illegal move since the competition is a non-sanctioned music video contest. Missy's audition features the line, "Your school has no gymnastics team; this is a last resort." Except, as even the most casual USA gym fan can tell you, competitive gymnastics is coordinated almost exclusively through USAG, the sport's governing body, not schools. Those who do compete for a school's gymnastics team will, almost without exception, compete primarily for their gym, with the school team a nice side bonus. All of which means that, had Missy been even remotely competitive, Rancho Carne's lack of a gymnastics team would have been no hindrance at all to her gymnastics career.note This changes in college, where Division I NCAA gymnastics programs are a Very Big Deal, but high school gymnastics is essentially an afterthought for most competitive gymnasts. | |

All Just a Dream: Every movie begins with the main character suffering a humiliating cheer-incident and then waking up to realize that it was a dream. Worldwide #Cheersmack breaks the tradition by having the humiliation at the beginning turn out to be real but lampshades it by having Destiny wish that it was all a dream. Eventually, Destiny does have a cheer-related nightmare later in the film. | |

Second Year Protagonist: Subverted in the first film.
