Line #14 YMMV/SpiceWorld


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: When Victoria and the two girls fall off the out of control boat, Mel C immediately jumps off to save them.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Given it's the Music/SpiceGirls, it's not surprising:
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VoZ6afztc "Too Much"]]: The opening intro with the song really pulls the fans in. It's not complete without it.
4	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78v7DYtTVXM "Saturday Night Divas"]]: The song itself is already one of the more overlooked song in their catalogue and the photoshoot and outfit swapping to it helps it to be used to great effect.
5	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl0Ag-sLwKo "Never Give Up on the Good Times"]]: Plays during the beginning of the boot camp scene with the Girls getting into the music slowly is effectively done too.
6	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
7	** The girls stop the bus to pee in the bushes and run into a crew of aliens who want tickets to their show but it's sold out. The girls are completely unfazed by this and even sign autographs for the aliens.
8	** A lot of the [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] can count too. Some manage to be plot relevant with {{Foreshadowing}} - the Agatha Christie style one building up Emma being EasilyForgiven for everything - but most are quite random.
9	* CultClassic: Mainly for Music/SpiceGirls fans - especially those who were there for the mania of their peak - and 90s pop culture aficionados.
10	* HamAndCheese:
11	** Creator/RichardEGrant can say he only did this film [[MoneyDearBoy for the money]] and [[SoMyKidsCanWatch for his daughter]], but he was clearly having a good time doing it.
12	** Michael Barrymore as dance instructor Mr. Step, [[ChewingTheScenery gorging himself on the scenery just for kicks]].
13	** The girls themselves are obviously having the time of their lives, not taking the material too seriously.
14	* HarsherInHindsight:
15	** The girls are annoyed at their manager for not giving them time off, to the point where they (temporarily) walk out of their tour. The group would later sack their manager, partially for this reason.
16	** The ActorAllusion references to Ginger's topless model days aren't quite as funny after her surgery to remove a benign tumour. Geri Halliwell avidly supports breast cancer charities.
17	* HilariousInHindsight:
18	** The scene where the girls imagine what they'd be like as mothers, now that all of the girls have their own children (a total of ''nine,'' in fact). Especially the case with Victoria Beckham, who says "Thank God for boarding school" in this scene, but by all accounts is a very hands-on mother to her four kids.
19	** ''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. (And Geri would unsuccessfully audition for ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' not long after.)
20	** The ImagineSpot with Creator/StephenFry as a judge sentencing the girls to obscurity ends with him summoning Music/GaryBarlow to the stand. At the time the movie was made Barlow was seen as completely washed up after [[Music/TakeThatBand Take That]] broke up. Since then the band has reformed and Barlow's career completely rebounded. So much for obscurity.
21	* ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars: In the ''Giving You Everything'' documentary, Victoria said that nobody was expecting to win Oscars for the film, they were just having a good time.
22	* {{Moe}}: Emma of course. As 'Baby Spice', she actually exploits her huggable cuteness with the power of her smile.
23	* NarmCharm: No one disputes it's a terrible movie but for nostalgic reasons, any young'un now cannibalizing their youth in search of amusement can still reasonably enjoy the trip back through the 90s with the girls.
24	* NightmareFuel: That scene with the aliens qualifies. They looked creepy and their voices sounded almost like the deadites from the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' trilogy. Whose idea was that? Turns into a bit of NightmareRetardant once they start fanning out over the girls.
25	* OneSceneWonder: Creator/StephenFry as the judge sentencing the girls for releasing a single much less good than their previous ones.
26	--> '''Judge:''' Melvin B, Emma, Melvin C, Victoria, Geri (pronounced with hard G), you have been found guilty of releasing a single which is by no means as kicking as your previous records, nor does it have such a wicked, fat, dirty, bassline. You are sentenced to having your next record enter the charts at number 179, before dropping straight out the following week. Furthermore, you are sentenced to twenty years of having to appear on cheesy chat shows in Taiwan, talking about how you ''used'' to be famous. And may God have mercy on your lip gloss. (Bangs gavel) Call Gary Barlow.
27	* QuestionableCasting: Any viewer outside the demographic will laugh or weep at the sight of so many great British actors in this film.
28	* QuirkyWork: The lead mentions ''Film/AHardDaysNight'', but the execution is more ''Film/{{Head}}'', a RandomEventsPlot filled with surreal sequences (not all of them being [[ImagineSpot fantasies]]!).
29	* RetroactiveRecognition:
30	** Creator/DominicWest is the photographer.
31	** [[Series/{{Torchwood}} Toshiko Sato]] is the girls' pregnant friend.
32	** Fans of English football may recognize an unusually lanky young man who appears in a concert audience early in the film as Peter Crouch, who would go on to play for the English national team a decade later.
33	* [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: Victoria was actually trained in musical theatre before she auditioned for the band (in fact auditioning with "Mein Herr" from ''{{Theatre/Cabaret}}'' rather than a pop song), so she had more acting experience than the others. Her comic timing provides many of the film's funniest moments.
34	* SignatureScene: The aliens attempting to get tickets for the girls' concert and then having them sign autographs is remembered most for its sheer randomness.
35	* SoBadItsGood: Perhaps not as notorious as ''Film/{{The Room\|2003}}'' or ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' (to the point that it can almost feel like a ForcedMeme), but it's not uncommon for people to jokingly refer to this movie as a "cinematic masterpiece", usually accompanied by [[NotHelpingYourCase a purposefully unflattering clip]].
36	* SpecialEffectFailure: When the film producers are discussing the idea of the Spice Bus flying over the half-open Tower Bridge, a clearly fake model of the bridge and bus is used, with the comment that it's not necessarily expensive.
37	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Creator/RogerMoore for the most part plays his brief role ''very'' straight.
38	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Spice Girls -- at least, their most famous line-up, since they carried on for a few more years after Geri Halliwell quit -- were only around for about two years in the late 90s, so this movie automatically dates itself to that point in time when they were worldwide sensations.
