And the saddest part of it is that I know every single line from the movie.

"There They Are"
"What"
"My Boots Geri, Your Wearing My Boots"
"Oh Yeah, I Didn't Know How That Happened"

Posted by: martyn Sep 1 2010, 09:13 AM

I think we need a place to discuss the epicness that is SpiceWorld the movie, how they didnt all gets Oscars for this still shocks me to the core every single day!

Okay, so it wasn't that amazing, but it is still pretty good right???

Posted by: JakeWild Sep 1 2010, 09:19 AM

i absolutely love it. there's no getting past the fact that it's some of the worst acting ever seen but that's what makes more endearing i suppose. plus the best soundtrack for a film EVER!

Posted by: Suedehead2 Sep 1 2010, 09:59 AM

Not surprisingly I haven't seen the film but I did enjoy seeing it get panned by the critics and then being an utter flop.

I just love Victoria in it! wub.gif

I actually think Spiceworld is an underrated Pop movie and should actually be ranked alongside treasured classics like A Hard Day's Night and Help as it captures a global phenomenom at the heights of it's powers. It's well scripted, funny and the acting is pretty good all things considered.



































laugh.gif Sorry I can't keep it going any longer. Awful film.

noo that's true! it does give us an insight into just how big they were at the time. watching it then was probably pretty cringe worthy and rightly so it was panned but looking back on it now and seeing how successful they were and to think they could just make a film after like a year or so in the spotlight is amazing. also it brings back a load of memories of being a kid so i'll always have fond memories of it. but yeah definitely not oscar worthy. hell they'd be lucky to have gotten a razzie with this.

Victoria completely MAKES the film. Amazing <3 I also have the video tin thing, I have Victoria on mine happy.gif

Posted by: JakeWild Sep 9 2010, 12:18 PM

i watched a few parts of this on youtube the other day to refresh my memory and it's one of those films where i can't even concentrate on the plot (what plot suedehead may say! tongue.gif) because i'm too busy just being reminiscent and thinking of what i would have been doing at the time and what it was like in 1997.. i do this for a lot of old films but this one especially because it was like such a cultural phenomenon. but at the time you don't really realise how big it is.. i mean if i knew how big they were then as i do now i would have got all the albums, all the singles, gone to see them on tour etc to like really take it in. not sure if that makes any sense but yeah just though i'd post here cos we're only 1 post behind another team in this forum resurrection thing so now were even! smile.gif will go see what else i can post about

must say though i never thought i'd spend most of my time and posting on here in the spice girls forum!

Posted by: Lukuzz Sep 9 2010, 12:49 PM

Victoria is the highlight -



heart.gif laugh.gif

Posted by: AaronTM Sep 10 2010, 08:11 PM

I think I basically agree with everything Jake has said about this movie. It's obviously features awful acting, is all over the place with the direction and was nothing more than a rush job in promotion of their second album but I love it so much. I remember watching it lots when I was younger, Victoria is really funny in it, I have so many memories with it.

I watched it again recently and didn't realise how many familiar faces were in it, you don't really notice when you're that young. They were just so huge, I think GaGa is the only person who could pull off something like this since. S Club 7 tried the whole film thing, but it wasn't the same.

Posted by: Swagger91 Sep 15 2010, 09:48 PM

Spiceworld is great! I mean it's bad but it's highly entertaining, funny, full of nostalgia and it was made at exactly the right time when they were on top of the world. It really does capture the (admittedly short-lived) phenomenon rather well and it's hard to imagine a pop group doing it today, let alone a girl group. The critics took it waaay too seriously.

So my best friend watched this for the first time today and messaged her reactions to me throughout. What an iconic movie it is and so many *.* moments!

and my personal favourite,


I guess it's safe to say Posh Spice makes this movie. wub.gif

Posted by: Jaÿ Feb 24 2016, 05:27 AM

laugh.gif "This dress is dry clean only, Melanie" never fails to make me laugh. I agree, Victoria was by far the best in the movie. biggrin.gif

I haven't actually watched it in years, it's about time I did again. It's currently on UK Netflix, in HD. ohmy.gif I'd love it if it was released on Blu-Ray to coincide with their 20th anniversary!

Victoria was incredible obviously.

Posted by: THEO. Sep 6 2017, 10:46 PM

An all-time classic film, I'm sure we'll all agree.



They're re-releasing it later this month for the 20th anniversary! I looked at getting tickets for my local Vue but it's already sold out! Ha impakt!

Posted by: Jade Sep 6 2017, 10:55 PM

I wanted to go to the showing of this in my local Vue on the 29th but I'm in Lincolnshire until the 30th for work experience! This film is such a guilty pleasure. wub.gif

Just seen that my local Vue in Northampton still needs another 42 people attending to make it happen... so I shall not be too distraught about missing it when it probably won't happen here anyway. laugh.gif

Might have to dig it out on DVD at some point nevertheless because I haven't watched it in years!

Also, random anecdote related to this movie - I was watching an episode of Pointless recently and got a Pointless answer by saying 'Spiceworld' for "Movies that Roger Moore has starred in" - goals *.* x

Posted by: Jay ☆ Oct 1 2017, 09:55 PM

^ A fun night out! But not as much Spice/Aloud songs played as I was hoping for. They were mixed in between lots of other artist songs.

I heard these: Wannabe, Say You'll Be There, Who Do You Think You Are, Spice Up Your Life, Stop // Mi Chico Latino, I Turn To You // Sound of the Underground, No Good Advice, Love Machine, Biology, Something New // Call My Name, Go to Work(!)

Nowhere near as much GA as I'd have liked. Not hearing Sexy!, The Show & Something Kinda Ooooh was a bit gutting!

Landing in the comScore weekend Top 20, rather surprisingly, is Spice World: The Movie, with £79,000 from 72 cinemas. Virtually all the screenings occurred on Friday evening, and proceeded after Spice Girl News contacted the OurScreen customer-led ticketing platform, suggesting Spice World return to cinemas for the 1997 film’s 20th anniversary. Via the OurScreen platform, customers can programme available titles at participating cinemas, and the screenings proceed only if a sales threshold is reached. Adding in returns from a few cinemas that programmed the film separately from OurScreen, box office should nudge £90,000.

Surprised at the lack of songs.

- Wannabe
- Say you'll be there
- Who do you think you are
- Spice up your life
- Stop
- Holler
- Look at me
- Mi chico latino
- Bag it up
- It's raining men
- I turn to you
- Think about it
- Anymore
- What took you so long
- Maybe
- Out of your mind
- Let your head go
- I want you back
- For once in my life

Should all have been played, with a few album tracks chucked in too
- Never give up on the good times
- Move over
- Do it
- Saturday night divas
- Love thing
- If you can't dance (they played this at a Spice night in Leeds and it went down a storm)

Would all work well.

Girls Aloud
- Sound of the underground
- No good advice
- Jump
- The show
- Love machine
- Wake me up
- Biology
- Something kinda ooh
- Call the shots (heard this in a nightclub before worked surprisingly well was some kind of remix)
- The promise
- Sexy no, no, no
- Something new
- Fight for this love
- Call my name
- Promise this (even if I can't stand the song lol)
- I don't care
- Crazy sexy love
- Beat of my drum
- Yo, yo
- Go to work

Would all work too.

I should have been the DJ rolleyes.gif

Once again my theater is doing two showings of Spice World in January and it’s already half sold. I’ve seen it the past three years consecutively at the movie theater. They do specialized cocktails to each girl as well as some prizes.

Posted by: Jay ☆ Jan 7 2018, 05:40 PM

The movie is getting a DVD re-release in Australia in February, with new artwork:

The most recent episode of Gogglebox included Spiceworld The Movie! As you might expect, the reactions towards their acting was negative :') but some nice comments about them as a music/performing act.

Posted by: Icy B Nov 13 2018, 08:08 PM

Love this film to bits! It’s silly, very British and very self-aware and it’s not like they went out of their way to hide the fact that the girls aren’t actresses or anything. Don’t understand what people find to be so negative about it as it’s pretty clear (in my book at least) that it doesn’t try to be anything more than what it actually is.

QUOTE(DaniSpiceBoy @ Sep 17 2017, 01:24 PM) *
Melanie C will be doing a Q&A at a SpiceWorld screeing in London on September 30th.

I’ve been looking around for information on what was said during this supposed Q&A session but have had no luck in finding any. Do anyone here know more about this?

Amazon seems to be taking pre-orders on a Blu-ray version of the film but without showing a proper release date or an image. (Can’t link them here as I’m not allowed to post any links yet.) Is this actually true or not? I’ve also noticed in the English Wikipedia article for Spice World that it too mentions that a Blu-ray is planned, although not citing any source about it:

Spice World: The 20th Anniversary Edition will be released on Blu Ray in the UK and Australia in December 2018 to mark the 20th anniversary of the VHS release. It will feature a new documentary about the film with all five Spice Girls and many apecial guests who featured in the film including Jennifer Saunders , Richard E. Grant, and Meat Loaf.

I saw it again recently. There's something really unusual about it in retrospect. The girls were the biggest group on the planet at the time Spice World was shot. You'd think it'd be a pretty strictly mainstream effort. Instead, the filmmakers cast a ton of cult actors...and loaded it with bonkers scenes like they intended all along for the thing to be a favorite drag queen midnight movie staple in 20 years. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that.

I actually rather like how weird the movie is. It's endlessly quotable. I just have one major criticism.

They should have recorded the Spice World album before they shot the movie...not during production. To me, the best moments come when the girls are performing...and certainly nothing else in the film comes close to the ending performance of Spice Up Your Life. But there should be more. They had such a command of a stage at that time. The Istanbul concert is a very good showcase of that. Spice World only shows that fact in spurts. Had the album been complete at that time, other songs could've been better incorporated (a performance of Stop, in particular, definitely belongs in there)

Aaaaand I've just typed a lot more than I intended on a weird movie about five popstars that features aliens and a live childbirth scene.

He had some great songs! Thats the 2nd? actor passing away from Spiceworld if i am right after Roger Moore.

Posted by: Piers Jan 24 2022, 12:59 AM

I guess my first familiarity with Meat Loaf was hearing I'd Do Anything For Love. Loved both the song and video as a kid. Next...I would have caught him in Spice World. I started watching Rocky Horror Picture Show not long after that (I'm a bonafide fan of the film today). Actually, an actor who played Meat Loaf in a VH1 TV movie used to come speak to my high school every year. He shared the story of hating having to say the line..."So, you mean to tell me after 20 years...I have the #1 record?!" Meat Loaf also has a pretty memorable part in Fight Club.

He really was a very varied guy...and I'd credit him with being someone who redefined what a rock star could look like. I like that his music was kinda halfway between rock and Broadway musical.

His role in Spice World is a fairly random thing, I think. There's part of me that thinks the musicians in it should have all played themselves...instead of getting Elton John as Elton John...and Elvis Costello and Meat Loaf as whatever rando roles they could shove them in. But. Nonetheless, I see Meat Loaf's presence as further proof the filmmakers of Spice World knew it would be a movie for kids in 1997...and a midnight cult film in the decades to come.

I kind of thought Elton should have played a different role to himself but then that moment in the corridor is amazing 🤣. Their choices were interesting for sure but getting meatloaf as the bus driver was inspired especially as it gave us the iconic “I love these girls, I’d do anything for these girls… but I won’t do that” 🤣

When the 25th anniversary of this rolls around what do you want? A limited cinema rerelease, blu-ray/dvd 25th anniversary release, added to streaming services?

For me physical media is dead so I'd do a limited cinema run on its release date 26th Dec for a few weeks then add to streaming services on the anniversary of the video release. I'd upload the Mama performance to Youtube too.

Oh I would like it to be re-released into cinemas for like two weeks and then added to streaming. Eventually, I would like to have a new DVD/Blue Ray but lets see... They just have to re-release it though, in whatever format. It's wild that such an iconic movie isnt widely available.

Posted by: sammy01 Feb 16 2022, 02:41 PM

Tbf I think it was deliberate to not renew any liecences the last couple of years so a 25th anniversary release would be more impactful. They stopped making the budget dvd that was like £5.99 on Amazon for years and never renewed it on Netflix. At least now it will be a bit of a bigger thing as unless you have an old copy of the dvd it is hard to watch.

We know that their plans for celebrating the Spiceworld anniversary will involve the movie, so I thought it'd be a good idea to bump this thread so we can keep discussion about that in this thread instead.

Do you have any hopes or expectations for what they should do to celebrate Spice World?

I said it above but re-releasing it on DVD and Blu-Ray would be ideal. Even on 4K if they're able to release it in that quality. New artwork. Maybe they could have some steelbooks. Imagine if they did the "individual girl artwork" gimmick, as a throwback to the VHS tins? ohmy.gif

I hope that they could share some cut scenes, any more footage they have from Royal Albert Hall.

Having it back in the cinemas for a time would be great. It also needs to be put on streaming again.

I can't believe we still have not heard anything about the plans for the 25th anniversary! At this point, I doubt there are any plans to start with, but it could have been so easy for them; a short theatre run, new DVD and potentially sell it to a streaming service.

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 13 2022, 07:18 AM

SW25 has only just been released. You don't need 6 weeks in advance announcement to put it on streaming and a DVD wont need huge long pre-orders, especially if they go with the DVD release on the 25th anniversary of the VHS.

Posted by: sammy01 Dec 27 2022, 11:22 AM

Honestly I'm done with them (Universal more). Universal got the rights to the movie from Paramount ages ago, before all the 25th anniversary stuff was happening. They have had so much time to sort a physical release and a streaming service deal. Both of which Paramount had, it used to be in print on a budget dvd and have a deal to be on Netflix.

It seems all Universal want is to be able to use clips of it on social media. We were actually much better off with it with Paramount. At this point it feels like self sabotage everything Universal do.

Posted by: Mr.X Dec 27 2022, 11:37 AM

Universal really fumbles de bag with them, at every stage... jesus wept...

Throwing it up on a streaming service would be great but also, so many people used to watch the film on Christmas day, they could totally get a deal to show it on TV channels and then for it to go on streaming in 2023...

Whatever, I guess... They don't seem bothered at all

Posted by: Sour Candy Dec 27 2022, 11:55 AM

I think the "problem" is that the movie is seen as a novelty item and not really a classic in its own right + the girls are not so keen on reminiscing it themselves. I would lie if I said it's a GOOD movie laugh.gif But it is interesting time-capsule and nostalgia.

I was lucky to see the movie at a special screening in my home town but it took a Spice Girl fan and lots of help from Universal to arrange it as there are not many copies available.

Posted by: Mr.X Dec 27 2022, 12:17 PM

The movie has a pop-cult status to it which they could easily capitalise on. Clearly, something went wrong as even Mel C mentioned they were in discussions with the studio early this year to release it...

SO maybe this time it is on Universal, not them?...

It is most defo on Universal. Last conversation I had things were actually very sour between the girls/their team and Universal now. The girls and team were not happy with the quality of SW25 and in particular the merch. I think even without knowing that you can see from the lack of individual promo on social media things are very different between Spice25 and SW25 on the girls behalf. They were all using their social media to promote Spice25 and had the vinyls on hand to promote, not with SW25.

The lack of even restorying the Spiceworld movie post by the girls individually said everything, they are pretty handcuffed though with Universal having the rights to everything.

The hope of the girls team and Universal working together is pretty dead again. So what is planned next year from the Spice Girls wont line up with Universal again like it didn't in 2018/19 the way it is going.

I don't blame the girls this time as Universal have handled SW25 really badly. The Universal store and quality is pretty shocking. I have the stressball and it cant even be described as a stressball it is a hard oversized foam ball.

Posted by: Mr.X Dec 27 2022, 03:55 PM

Thats such a shame, specially as there is so much potential. The downturn in quality from Spice25 to Spiceworld25 was so apparently clear, wow... I wonder if Spice25 just didn't sell what they wanted it to sell so they went with the cheapest and lowest quality possible... It was still a very successful campaign from what we understand, right?....

Certainly the backlash between the product, and its quality, and their lack of support for it was very stark this time.

The girls themselves barely promoted Spice25 to be honest with you, each of them mainly just shared the instagram post, but Melanie C did do some interviews in support of it as she was promoting her own work at the time anyway. It is quite telling that they keep expecting the group to sell bucketloads without the involvement of the GROUP to promote it. We should know by now that without the group's support, things will flop.

It's been that way since 1999/2000, and it absolutely sucks they and their teams at Universal don't seem to grasp that.

Posted by: -Jay- Jan 1 2023, 04:49 PM

Random thoughts... but I wonder why the poster/VHS design for the film in some territories (including the UK) put really heavy emphasis on 'THE MOVIE' (with "SPICEWORLD" in a much smaller font size) whereas in other countries such as the US there was more focus on "SPICE WORLD"? I wonder why there wasn't consistency in the way the design was presented worldwide?





Other examples: https://www.ecranlarge.com/uploads/image/001/129/67hf6pqkb29mtwpaw7fghjll60r-589.jpg and https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/AbYAAOSwQYZW1YNX/s-l225.jpg


VS.





Another thing... clearly the design of the first posters suggests that it is spelled "Spiceworld" as one word, just like the album is... but over time it seems to have become widely accepted that the movie is called "Spice World" with a space... which I'm guessing is influenced by the second posters having 'SPICE' and 'WORLD' separated by having the words above and below each other.


Oh and there's also different slogans as can be seen above. "They don't just sing!" / "Five girls. Five days. One rocking world!" / "You say you want a revolution?" - which slogan do you all think is the best and most effective?


Also! The picture of them together is mirrored, and I wonder why the designers felt that was the right choice for it? Emma's necklace is amended so it shows 'Baby' despite being mirrored, but they forgot that Melanie's arm tattoo would appear on the wrong arm when mirrored.

Posted by: Piers Jan 2 2023, 06:30 AM

^ I really love the US poster for the film with the sequin union jack background. Was this one used for a lot of other territories too? I remember spotting it in theaters back at the time. It was so bold and eye-catching. Such an iconic design. I remember being a bit disappointed when that design wasn't carried over into the VHS release...and they went for the considerably more muted globe background. As for taglines...I don't love "You Say You Want A Revolution". I get that the film owes more than a little DNA to the Beatles' films...but still...I don't think that tagline sums up the film well. I like "They Don't Just Sing" and "Five Girls. Five Days. One Rockin' World" far better.

In terms of other marketing, I remember thinking the full length trailer was super odd. It sets itself up to be a Charlie's Angels-type mission film...that somehow lands the girls in all these bizarre scenarios. From the trailer, I was expecting something along the lines of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker film. Moonwalker is more a string of musical scenes starring MJ. There's not a singular storyline that connects the whole thing. So. I was actually really surprised to catch Spice World and find...there was a far more streamlined plot than what had been advertised (and the spy mission plot just...wasn't a thing at all...?...)

That's a good observation regarding the posters and the trailer.

I always preferred the green SW Movie Poster but the Union Jack shoot was iconic and was probably a better way to sell it internationally because of the whole 'cool Britannia' thing and of course Geri's union jack dress.

As for taglines, I always liked 'they don't just sing' as in there will be acting in the movie biggrin.gif but the 5 girls, 5 days, one rocking world isn't bad.

The green one is the best imo, and it was everywhere when I was growing up in Portugal.

Glad I only came across the UK-flag one later in life. It's a great picture but that background is literally national propaganda lol I know the whole 'cool britannia' was riffe at the time and they were the queens of it, but it is really cringe and wouldnt work in a lot of places lol

It isn't being done by Universal or the Girls team. I think the rights are held by someone else in Australia and they are rereleasing it there, just it will be an import elsewhere too.

Iirc Australia had a 20th anniversary rerelease too by the same people. Obviously shows what could be if Universal actually cared.
