** ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', the James Bond film that came out that same year, also deals with an evil media mogul. ''Spice World'''s titles also kind of look like a parody of the typical James Bond opening titles.

* SnarkBait: Given it's a campy and nonsensical movie about a girl group [[BrieferThanTheyThink that ended shortly afterwards]], the movie is certainly this for non-fans. As [[Usefulnotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie]] founder John Wilson put it, "''Spice World'' wants desperately to be [[TotallyRadical hip]], self-deprecating, and devastatingly funny. It actually is devastatingly funny, but almost none of the laughs come where the filmmakers were seeking them."

* NightmareFuel: That scene with the aliens qualifies. They looked creepy and their voices sounded almost like the deadites from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' trilogy. Who's idea was that? Turns into a bit of NightmareRetardant once they start fanning out over the girls.

** One of the aliens grabs Mel B's boobs when he meets her.

** The girls allude that Clifford needs to get laid.
