THE CONNECTING FACTORS OF...

BRING IT ON & BRING IT ON AGAIN

We've been told that BIOA is an 'unrelated & different movie' from the first one. But just how 'different' are the two? A special thanks to Kimberly, CA for this trivia.

• Whittier (Anne Judson Yager) is a former Toros while Monica (Faune Chambers) is an ex-Clover. This marked the 2nd time a Toros and a Clover attended the same college after high school. In BIO, it was said that both Torrance (Kirsten Dunst) & Isis (Gabrielle Union) goes to the same college.
• It is also the 2nd time that members of the reigning cheerleading squad didn't approved of the protagonist's boyfriend. In BIOA, the squad didn't like the idea that Whittier is interested in Derek (Richard Lee Jackson), just like when Torrance had her eyes on new kid Cliff (Jesse Bradford). 
• The scenes for both movies were largely shoot at the universities in the CA area (BIOA = California State University in Northridge, BIO = University of California San Diego). I think it's because that some of the major cheerleading tournament (like the UCA championships) were held in San Diego so it'll be easier for people to relate to it (does that made any sense?)
• There's also the 'bitchy duo' and the 'goody-to-shoes duo' in both movies. In BIOA, Tina (Bree Turner) and Marni (Joie Lenz) can be regarded as the 'nasty girls' while Whittier & Monica as the 'good girls'. In BIO however, the 'bitches' were non other than Courtney (Clare Kramer) and Whitney (Nicole Bilderback) while Torrance & Missy (Eliza Dushku) were the 'good ones'.
• The cast members of both movies had appeared in the same TV shows. Most of the BIOA cast members (the girls especially) had appeared in MTV's Undressed while most of the BIO cast members had appeared in popular TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (with Eliza Dushku & Clare Kramer scoring major roles)
• Both reigning cheerleading squads in both movies was the undisputed champion of the Nationals before being challenged by a newer squad (although in BIO, the Clovers were not exactly a new group. They just stayed outside the limelight for a long time)

BIOA CAST MEMBERS

The cast must be really happy seeing one another at the movie's auditions cause it seems that the cast member shared more than just cheers & BIOA:

• Kevin Cooney and Faune Chambers = an Austin Powers movie.
• Holly Towne, Geoff Stults, Chris Emerson = 7th Heaven.
• Faune Chambers, Katherine Bailess, Oscar Orosco, Orion Barnes (and almost all of the BIOA cheerleaders) = all established on and off screen dancers.
• Felicia Day, Chris Emerson, Orion Barnes (and almost half of the original BIO cast members) = Buffy The Vampire Slayer or its spin-off Angel.
• Joie Lenz, Derek Richardson, Lamya Jezek = Felicity.
• Holly Towne , Derek Richardson = Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
• Holly Towne, Chris Emerson= Sabrina The Teenage Witch
• Chris Emerson, Lamya Jezek = Boston Public
• Derek Richardson, Chris Carmack = Strangers with Candy
