Bring It On (2000) dir. Peyton Reed

You wanna make it right? Then when you go to the Nationals… bring it. Don’t slack off because you feel sorry for us. That way, when we beat you, we’ll know it’s because we’re better.

I know you didn’t think a white girl made that shit up.

There were a ton of teen movies at the time that I passed on that were not committed to getting it right. The reason why I even took the table read of “Cheer Fever” [”Bring It On”] was because the cheerleading movie I wanted about bank robbing [“Sugar and Spice”] – they didn’t want to go black on any of the characters. So it’s interesting, the group that didn’t want to commit to diversity didn’t seem to do well and the movie that was about righting the wrongs did well, and that included diversity. I remember at the table read my character being a combination of Foxy Brown and about eight other Blaxploitation characters sort of rolled into a cheer-lawyer-defender type person.

Bring It On (Peyton Reed, 2000)

This is not a democracy, it’s a cheerocracy. I’m sorry, but I’m overruling you.
