High school spirit gets a risqué twist as cheerleaders plot a bedroom advantage for the home team.
THE CHEERLEADERS
Come and huddle with the cheerleaders.
A group of high school cheerleaders have sex with the opposing team's players to make them too tired to play football properly, allowing their team to win an unprecedented series of games.
Proof the pep squad could run circles around the playbook—and the locker room.
The Cheerleaders flips Friday night lights into a farcical bedroom strategy, where pom-poms and seduction go hand in hand. If you’re looking for a sexploitation romp that blends teen hijinks with athletic sabotage, this 1973 oddball delivers on both fronts—sometimes in the back of a school bus.
