The Scoop: Bring It On 7-Movie Collection [Blu-ray + Digital]

7-Disc Collector's Edition from Universal and includes box set slipcover!

Bring It On: 7 Movie Collection — Blu-ray Set Breakdown

If you grew up watching cheerleading movies in the early 2000s or have a soft spot for the campy, competitive energy that defined a whole era of teen entertainment, this seven-disc Blu-ray set is worth paying attention to. Universal has collected the entire Bring It On franchise — all seven films — into a single package, and as someone who cares deeply about what’s actually on the disc, I wanted to go through each one and give you an honest look at the audio specs and disc formats so you know exactly what you’re getting before you pick it up.

*BUY HERE! *Commissions earned

Disc 1 — Bring It On (2000)

The original film gets the best treatment in the set, and rightfully so. This one is pressed on a BD-50 dual-layer disc and carries a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack alongside a Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track as a secondary option.

The DTS-HD MA 5.1 means you’re getting a full lossless audio experience here — every bit of the cheer music, crowd noise, and dialogue preserved without any compression artifacts. If you have a capable home theater setup, this disc is going to sound noticeably better than watching it on any streaming platform. The Dolby Digital 2.0 fallback is a nice inclusion for anyone running a simpler two-channel setup. The BD-50 format gives the disc plenty of room to breathe, so there’s no reason to expect any compression issues on the video side either.

Disc 2 — Bring It On Again (2004)

The first of the direct-to-video sequels steps down in audio quality. This disc carries a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track and is pressed on a BD-50.

Dolby Digital 5.1 is a lossy codec, so you’re not getting lossless audio here the way you are with the first film. That said, it’s a perfectly serviceable encode for a direct-to-video production from 2004 — this was never a theatrical film with a high-budget sound mix, so the practical difference in your listening room is going to be minimal. The BD-50 disc format is consistent with the rest of the set, and the extra capacity is always welcome even when the audio encoding is compressed.

Disc 3 — Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006)

Same story here. A BD-50 disc carrying Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround.

All or Nothing has a few things going for it as a sequel — a recognizable cast, some genuinely fun choreography — but the audio presentation is straightforward and functional rather than impressive. For a film that leans heavily on its music and cheer routines, a lossless track would have been a welcome upgrade, but the Dolby Digital 5.1 will do the job for most viewers. No surprises here.

Disc 4 — Bring It On: In It to Win It (2007)

In It to Win It follows the same pattern as the previous two sequels. BD-50 disc, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround.

This is pretty much what you’d expect from a mid-period entry in a direct-to-video franchise. The encode is adequate, the format is consistent, and there’s nothing unusual to flag. If you’re a completist, you’ll be happy it’s here. If you’re only here for the first film and a handful of others, this one won’t be the standout disc in the set.

Disc 5 — Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009)

Things take a slight turn back upward here. Fight to the Finish is on a BD-50 and comes with DTS-HD Master Audio plus a Dolby Digital 2.0 track as a secondary option.

The return of DTS-HD is a pleasant surprise after three discs of straight Dolby Digital. The lossless track means the audio presentation here is on par with the first film in terms of quality, even if the source material is a later direct-to-video production. Having the Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo option alongside it is a thoughtful inclusion. This disc is noticeably better equipped than discs two through four.

Disc 6 — Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack (2017)

Worldwide #Cheersmack is one of the more recent entries in the franchise and it gets a solid audio package. BD-50 disc, DTS-HD Master Audio as the primary track, and a Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track for secondary use.

The same setup as disc five. Lossless DTS-HD audio and the stereo fallback make this one of the better-sounding discs in the set for anyone with a full surround system. The fact that three of the seven films in this collection carry a lossless track is worth noting — it shows at least some care went into the audio mastering decisions for the set rather than treating every entry the same.

Disc 7 — Bring It On: Cheer or Die (2022)

The most recent entry in the franchise is the lone BD-25 single-layer disc in the set. It carries a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track.

The BD-25 format is a bit of a flag if you’re paying close attention. Single-layer discs have less capacity than the BD-50 format used across the other six discs, which can affect how much room is available for the video encode alongside the audio. On the audio side, the DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless track is a good sign — you’re getting quality audio on the newest film in the franchise. But the reduced disc capacity compared to the rest of the set is worth knowing going in. For a 2022 production, a BD-50 would have been the more generous choice.

What to Expect Across the Set!

The audio mix in this collection tells a fairly clear story. Three of the seven discs — the original Bring It On, Fight to the Finish, and Worldwide #Cheersmack — carry DTS-HD Master Audio lossless tracks, which is the best you can reasonably hope for on Blu-ray. Cheer or Die also carries DTS-HD MA 5.1. The remaining three sequels (Again, All or Nothing, In It to Win It) are running Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, which is a lossy codec and a step down in fidelity.

For casual viewing, none of that will be particularly noticeable. For home theater enthusiasts, the spread matters — the first film and a few of the later entries are going to sound meaningfully better than the middle of the pack.

Six of the seven discs are BD-50 dual-layer, which is the standard high-capacity format and a solid foundation for any Blu-ray release. The exception is disc seven, the Cheer or Die BD-25, and that’s the one disc in the set that gives me slight pause from a collector’s standpoint.

Final Verdict

If you’re a fan of the franchise — or if you have someone in your household who is — this set is a reasonable buy. Getting all seven films in one physical package with consistent Blu-ray presentation is convenient, and the first film specifically gets the audio treatment it deserves with DTS-HD MA 5.1 on a BD-50.

The weak spots are predictable: the middle-era direct-to-video sequels are running Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than lossless audio, and the newest entry is on a BD-25 rather than a BD-50. Neither of those is a dealbreaker, but they’re worth knowing before you commit.

For physical media collectors looking to complete the franchise on disc, this is the most practical way to do it. For newcomers, the original film holds up and is well represented here. For dedicated home theater listeners who care about every disc being at its best, just know going in that the audio quality is uneven across the set and the first film is clearly the star of the show in more ways than one.
