Sir Stephen Fry admitted in an episode of QI (2003) that he took a role in this movie because it allowed him to get autographed posters of the Spice Girls for his nephews, which he claimed "was like ten Christmases for them."
Two real-world deaths after filming prompted edits to the movie. Mentions of Princess Diana and Gianni Versace were made in this movie because they were alive when this movie was made, but died before its release.
On July 14, 2014, the original bus used in this movie was placed on permanent display at Island Harbour Marina, on the Isle of Wight, England.
This movie is listed amongst the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John WIlson's book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE.
A few of the Spice Girls themselves have admitted in interviews that their film wasn't that good nor strong as they would have liked because they had such a busy schedule and were only able to carve out a short period (two months) to film it. However, they've now stated that looking back, they are proud that they made a film when they were in their prime.
