Cultural Impact
Outside of the United States, American-style cheerleading is sometimes referred to as Bring It On-style cheerleading.
Several of cast members from the Bring It On film franchise have gone on to greater fame or notoriety. Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, Jesse Bradford, Clare Kramer, Lindsay Sloane, and several others from the original film were already notable entertainers and television actors or have grown into such roles since their participation in the original film. Bethany Joy Galeotti and Hayden Panettiere, who appeared in Bring It On Again and Bring It On: All or Nothing, also went on to find sizable television audiences due to their roles on the television programmes One Tree Hill and Heroes, respectively. Galeotti also appeared with Michael Copon (who co-starred in In It to Win It) during One Tree Hill's second season. Michael Copon also starred in Power Rangers Time Force The R&B/Pop trio Blaque have a recurring role in "Bring It On". Noteworthy R&B singer and film actress Christina Milian also appears as the main character in Fight to the Finish. Brittany Anne Pirtle (who appeared in Bring it On: Fight to the Finish) went on to star as the Yellow Power Ranger in Nickelodeon's Power Rangers Samurai.
2009's Fired Up features a scene where the kids at the cheerleading camp watch a screening of Bring It On and speak the dialogue verbatim as it's being said on screen, a humorous allusion to the film's cult status among cheerleaders.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or impact:
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
