Alternate versions

The DVD contains two alternate endings:

• Torrance talks to the audience while in cheerleading uniform.
• Torrance and Isis attend the same college and compete for captain of their college cheerleading squad.

In the scene where Whitney says "She'll be easy to toss, and she doesn't give lip" to which Jan replies "just tongue" was an MPAA-induced edit. He originally said "just head" but it was changed to "just tongue" to keep a PG-13 rating.

Universal Studios released a Family Friendly version on DVD that removes objectionable content. This version has a blue border on the DVD cover.

The USA DVD has extended scenes.

Deleted Scenes include:

• Torrance calls Carver in the hospital after she breaks her leg.
• Darcy uses cheers to remember SAT words for a test.
• A perverted Earth Science Teacher spies on the girls trying out for cheerleading.
• Jan defends male cheerleaders during tryouts after Missy makes a crack about the guys.
• Torrance flirts with Cliff in his kitchen after he catches her drinking out of his orange juice carton.
• Torrance's parents pressure her about her college plans.
• Torrance says bye to her family as she leaves for Florida.
• New Pope Cheerleaders, a fundamentalist squad, stick the words "U SUCK!" using marshmellows on the Toros bus windows.
• An extended version of the locker room scene.
• An extended version of the scene where the stripper tries out for cheerleading.
• An extended version of the scene where Big Red dares Torrance to drop the spirit stick in front of the whole cheerleading camp.

There originally was a longer version of the stripper scene, but a majority of it was cut because of the high cost to use a clip of the song "Sweet Cherry Pie". Because of this, her clothes begin to instantly come off between shots (see Goofs).
