| Spice World | comment |
In the late '90s, the Spice Girls were everywhere. The pop girl group from the UK included Victoria Adams ("Posh Spice", later known as Victoria Beckham), Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice") and Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"). They practically defined the term "overnight success", so when the idea arose to make a film based on their success, it was almost immediately greenlit. In late 1997, Spice World was released.The film's plot bounces back and forth between being a Spiritual Successor to A Hard Day's Night and a Self-Deprecation of the Spice Girls and their fan following. Despite poor reviews from critics, it was adored by audiences, becoming a box office hit, and eventually earned cult classic status. | |

Absurdly Long Wait: Out of loyalty to their friend Nicola who is about to give birth, the girls stay by her side, even though they risk being late for their first live gig, for which the whole world is waiting. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Spice World / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: The Spice Bus driver (Meat Loaf) saying "I'd do anything for [the Girls], but I won't do that." Roger Moore's character saying "There's no need for any stirring" as he is shaking a martini. Victoria snarking that Geri should remove her top to awaken a young boy from a coma could be seen as one to Geri Halliwell's stint as a topless model. | |

| Spice World / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Although many will tell you that the entire movie sucks, the movie contains an intentional example; during the description of the frantic bus drive across London, a shot of the bus jumping the rising platform of Tower Bridge is rendered with a toy bus and a shoddy replica of the bridge to assuage one of the executive's worries that it would be too expensive otherwise. | |

FlashbackEffect | |
| Spice World / int_e2366cc3 | comment |
Flashback Effect: When the girls wind up going their separate ways after an argument with their manager, their minds are shown going back to the exact same moment. Imagine them once being too nervous to perform for only two people! (It's "Wannabe", but with all of the other four following Mel B's lead on the chorus.) | |
