The Cheerleaders Collection

These cheerleader films explore themes of school spirit through unusual methods, like in The Cheerleaders (1973), where cheerleaders weaken the opposing football team through sexual encounters. The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974) examines cheerleading's societal implications and perceptions as degrading to women, with a reporter joining a squad to expose this. Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976) presents cheerleading with sexualized imagery, violence, and humor. The Great American Girl Robbery (1979) utilizes cheerleaders in crime-related storylines, involving a hijacked busload of cheerleaders kidnapped by terrorists. These films maintain coherence through recurring themes of spirit, energy, gender dynamics, and sexualization. Often portraying cheerleaders positively as energetic and virtuous, they depict moral righteousness and role models against injustices. Plots involve cheerleaders in mysterious scenarios, adding thrill and intrigue, with themes of pride, rivalry, and competition.
