        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Get your spirit fingers out, &#8220;<strong>Bring It On</strong>&#8221; is celebrating its 20th a-n-n-i-v-e-r-s-a-r-y.</p><p>Starring Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Eliza Dushku, the cheerleading flick helped <strong>catapult the sport to a fever pitch</strong> when it hit the big screen at the start of the millennium&#8217;s teen movie craze on Aug. 25, 2000. Now a cult classic, the summer blockbuster grossed $90 million worldwide and spawned five follow-up films, all of which went straight to video, and even a <strong>Broadway musical</strong>.</p><p>Following a champion team getting ready for competition, Dunst&#8217;s character Torrance takes over the Toros squad as captain for her senior year — only to find out that all of their award-winning routines were stolen from an underdog inner-city squad, the Clovers, led by Isis (Union).</p><p>But when it comes to the movie&#8217;s now-iconic cheer routines — often mimicked by high schools around the nation — some were actually originals. One memorable one, in particular, was created by actress Nicole Bilderback, who played mean girl cheerleader Whitney.</p><p>&#8220;I actually choreographed that,&#8221; Bilderback told The Post of the infamous &#8220;That&#8217;s alright/ That&#8217;s OK/ You&#8217;re gonna pump our gas someday&#8221; cheer. &#8220;I was being totally facetious, totally sarcastic and joking.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;We spent about four or five weeks in cheer camp before we even started filming,&#8221; Clare Kramer, who played Whitney&#8217;s partner-in-crime Courtney, told the Post.</p><p>Watch the video above to find out more secrets from the movie, including the original title and ending, the brutal audition process — and who made a secret cameo in the film.</p><figure id="attachment_16162301"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/bring-it-on-anniversary-01.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/bring-it-on-anniversary-01.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/bring-it-on-anniversary-01.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Clare Kramer, Kirsten Dunst and Nicole Bilderback.</span><span class="credit">©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection</span></figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
