Kirsten Dunst crashes “Bring It On ”and“ The Virgin Suicides” special double screening: 'I am so overwhelmed'

She's still T-T-Torrance, your captain Torrance.

She's strong and she's loud, and she's gonna make you proud, she's K-K-Kirsten. Your Kirsten Dunst.

The Oscar nominee made a surprise appearance at Cinespia's Kirsten Dunst Slumber Party celebrating two of her most beloved films, 2000's Bring It On and The Virgin Suicides, with a double feature at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday.

Dunst briefly took the stage, quoting Bring It On to the utter delight of the crowd: “I’m T-T-Torrance, your captain Torrance. Let’s go, Toros!"

“Oh my god, you guys. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life,” she added. “I am so overwhelmed. My friends and family are here, I’m gonna watch with you guys. I haven’t seen any of these movies since I was a teen myself with an audience. I’m so honored.”

Written by Jessica Bendinger and directed by Peyton Reed, Bring It On followed the rivalry between two high school cheerleading squads, the Rancho Carne Toros, led by Dunst's eternally chipper Torrance Shipman, and the East Compton Clovers and their formidable captain Isis, played with icy hauteur by Gabrielle Union.

In a video captured by her friends and frequent fashion collaborators Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Dunst sings along to the cheer from the dream sequence that opens the teen comedy: "Hate us 'cause we're beautiful / Well we don't like you either! / We're cheerleaders! / We! Are! cheerleaders!"

The film was a minor hit when it was released in August 2000, earning a modest $90 million at the global box office, and it spawned six straight-to-video sequels that allpaled in comparison to the original, which has since become a bona fide cult classic.

Initially, Dunst wasn't very enthusiastic about doing "a cheesy teen movie," but that changed when she talked to Reed.

"[I was shooting] in Prague, and I remember not turning it down, exactly, but not being super sure about it," Dunst told Entertainment Weekly for a 15th-anniversary cast reunion of the film." I was like, 'A cheerleading movie?' It sounded like it could have been just a cheesy teen movie, but what sealed the deal for me was talking to the director, Peyton Reed, on the phone — he was just so smart. I agreed to do it mostly because of Peyton."

Bring It On capped off a pretty stellar run for the teenage Dunst, who had starred in three other cult classics just before: Drop Dead Gorgeous, Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, and Dick, co-starring Michelle Williams.

Written and directed by Coppola, The Virgin Suicides premiered at Cannes in 1999 but was released in theaters in the U.S. in April 2000, four months before Bring It On. Based on the 1993 debut novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, the film follows the lives of five adolescent sisters in an upper-middle-class suburb of Detroit in 1975.

"When I read the script, I was a little bit nervous because I was making out with all these guys in the script, and I just was overwhelmed and kind of a young 16-year-old," Dunst told EW for The Virgin Suicides' cast reunion in 2020. "But when I met Sofia, I felt at ease, and I knew that this would be something special."
