It was a blast from the past on September 21, 2025, as some of the iconic cast members of the cheerleading classic, Bring It On, reunited for a special screening and live Q&A at Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Los Angeles. Kirsten Dunst (Torrance), Gabrielle Union (Isis), Jesse Bradford (Cliff), and Lindsay Sloane (Big Red) were all in attendance, reliving the nostalgia with fans. The event was complete with photo opportunities, themed cocktails, and plenty of reminiscing about the film that continues to hold a special place in our hearts.
Although Eliza Dushku (Missy) was unable to make it, the rest of the cast spoke volumes about the film’s enduring impact and shared treasured memories. Gabrielle Union, who played the formidable Isis, shared on Instagram, “25 years later, and the spirit lives on!” This sentiment perfectly captures the movie’s unique position in pop culture, especially its groundbreaking representation and the way it continues to resonate. Fans were able to tune in live or catch the livestreams, proving that this cheerleading favorite still has major spirit. It’s clear that the Bring It On squad truly brought it for their silver anniversary celebration.
The reunion served as a powerful reminder of how films can shape our cultural landscape and provide much-needed representation. For many within the Black community, Isis and the Clovers represented more than just a cheerleading squad; they were a symbol of excellence, strength, and pride. The film’s ability to tackle themes of appropriation and cultural ownership with humor and heart made it a standout, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations. It’s moments like these that highlight the lasting power of storytelling and the importance of seeing ourselves reflected on screen.
