The First Is Special...The Rest are Crap.......2007-09-07

The Cheerleaders Set is worthwhile to anyone a fan of cheerleaders. The first movie is clearly the best in the bunch. It's perfect, well not perfect but so entertaining and a good film to watch.

The other two are missing evrything that the first had, except it up the ante to a lesser degree and make a fool of themselves. It gets a recommedation only for the first movie.

decent but ..........2007-08-17

i really enjoyed the first movie.the cheerleaders..the other two barely kept my eyes open..i dont see how they should be sold as a set..clearly the first is worth the price of all three..i would still recommend buying them all jus because of the nostalgia of a bygone era

Great job again Anchor Bay!!! This 3-DVD Chearleeders Collection rules!!!.......2007-07-08

A note for you parents out there,these films are for mature adults,not the kiddies!!! A great blast from the past!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

One out of three.......2007-06-18

The first one was okay. Sexy and retro. The other two were a waste of time and money. Buy The Cheerleaders separately. The revenge and swinging are edited so much they are a rip off.

Lotsa skin!!!.......2006-12-23

This collection must have the highest proportion of skin to runtime I've seen from a skinflick (with a decent plot), especially the first one. Listen to the commentary for a wild description of how these young women were cast. For the price, this set is a real bargain.

Kitschy 70's Film from the days of Drive-In Theaters.......2001-06-17

I saw this film as part of a Cheerleader triple feature with my husband, then boyfriend at the local drive-in theater. It was the only film to have a plot and to hold my interest. In addition, it had a talented cast, my favorites being Colleen Camp and Rainbeaux Smith. The story is not deep, but then again, this movie doesn't pretend to make a big political statement or address social issues. It is just mindless campy fun from the 1970's, with some sex thrown in. It reminds me of an adult cartoon, and has been referred to by Director Jack Hill as a "Disney Sex Comedy." The picture quality is excellent and crisp, which really brings out the cartoonish, artificial look of the sets. (Jack Hill shot this film in 12 days, so you're not looking at a big budget production.) The men's feathered haircuts are especially hilarious, and be sure to check out the psychedelic wallpaper in the Star Jock's apartment. The DVD includes Director's Commentary which is just as interesting as the movie itself, plus the 30-second and 60-second trailers. This film is considered the best of the "B-Movie" cheerleader genre and is a great "cabin fever" movie to watch over and over again. For those of you baby boomers who saw this film in a drive-in, it will be a nostalgic reminder of your teenage years.

Campy Cheerleading Flick.......2000-09-18

If you like watching cheerleaders, then this might be the ticket for you; however, Bring it On was much more entertaining.

The movie has a weak plot about a girl who infiltrates a cheerleading squad for a newspaper story. This is the kind of movie that you watch at 3:00 a.m. on Cable TV when you can't sleep. I have a sneaking suspecion that this movie did not last long on the screen. The only real star in the movie is Collene Camp, who could be called one of best B movie queens (I think this was one of her first movies). However, even she could not bring life to this bad movie.

Disney-esque sex comedy.......2000-04-20

In deciding whether or not "The Swinging Cheerleaders" is for you, it might help to know that you won't find anything in the movie resembling the suggestive scene depicted on the front of the video box. Sure, there's some sex and nudity, but not a whole lot of it, and it's pretty tame, relatively speaking. If you're expecting cheap T&A thrills, you'll probably be disappointed, and you'd be better off looking elsewhere. I'm not familiar with any of Jack Hill's other works, nor am I qualified to expound on any cultural or social signifigance behind "The Swinging Cheerleaders." It's commendable that they tried to instill real quality and morals into this movie instead of just churning out some mindless exploitation film. That's probably why this is apparantly considered one of the best films of the genre. In my opinion, it's okay, but definitely not great. It's all kind of wholesome and bland in a Disney sort of way, but with some sex and nudity thrown in. The ending is strangely abrupt and could've benefited from an extra scene or two. Rainbeaux Smith is my favourite part of this movie. She's very sexy and cute and sweet, and I wouldn't mind seeing anything else she's been in.
