It was a normal night in Las Vegas, Nevada, all the lights were flashing brightly, until a man with one hand, one eye, and one leg walks into a pawn shop with a statue of a hideous looking Leprechaun. The owner claims it's a good luck charm. The statue also wore a medallion around it's neck. The careless pawn shop owner took off the medallion setting the Leprechaun free...

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Eric Stevenson So this movie features the leprechaun who is now weakened by a medallion as well as his gold being destroyed. I thought he was weak against either four leaf clovers or iron. What is this thing supposed to be defeated by? Oh and he died in the last movie but now he's back. I mean, this guy looks and acts the same as the leprechaun in the previous films. It must be the same character! Anyway, this movie features the leprechaun biting somebody causing him to turn into one. I thought that was vampires, werewolves, and zombies? Well, I guess if they can bite people and make them one of themselves leprechauns can do it too.Dang, the 1995 computers do not hold up. I guess I'll give the movie credit for being slightly better than the last one. This movie features coins that grant wishes. I thought the leprechaun himself granted wishes? Anyway, the main characters actually do use their wishes well and are pretty intelligent. I find the death of the woman with the inflation of the lips, breasts, and butt to be horrifying to watch and not in a good way. The leprechaun loses one shilling just like he did in the first movie. I don't care, these movies suck. *1/2
Scott LeBrun The third entry in this inexplicably successful series has a change of setting going for it. It places our rhyming, sadistic, cheerful little imp deep in Sin City, where he is restored to life once again and creates havoc for various denizens of the city. Scott (John Gatins, future Academy Award nominee for his screenplay for "Flight") is a naive young man who blows the entire nest egg (earmarked for college) that his parents had provided for him. He must eventually do battle with his little nemesis, even after something unexpected starts happening to him.This movie is one of those cases where it's more entertaining than it probably had any right to be. Give credit to cult filmmaker Brian Trenchard-Smith ("Turkey Shoot", "Dead-End Drive- In") and screenwriter David DuBos for milking the Las Vegas setting, and the idea of this greedy villain taking center stage, for all that it's worth. It does manage to be fairly amusing at times. The rhyming routines by Mr. Lep can be groan inducing while still making a viewer chuckle. The makeup effects by Gabe Bartalos are pretty good, especially when a character expands to the point of absurdity and blows up, a la "Big Trouble in Little China".The actors are effective, selling the Hell out of this material as much as they can. Warwick Davis is just so much damn fun as the Irish fairy with much more tricks up his sleeve than decidedly lame "magician" Fazio (John DeMita). Gatins and his extremely sexy leading lady Lee Armstrong are very appealing, Michael Callan is amusing as a slimy casino boss, and it's always a pleasure to watch the lovely Caroline Williams (playing a casino employee) in anything. Rod McCary appears uncredited as "Father Bob", a character name he also had in "Night of the Demons 2".A fun horror comedy, albeit one that most people are likely going to consider a guilty pleasure. Still, it's stupid and it knows it, and it's a little too hard to resist.Six out of 10.
GL84 Stopping at a Las Vegas casino, a hapless young man begins a winning streak after coming to possession with a leprechaun's magic coin that soon turns the other patrons of the casino against each other as the leprechaun continues his quest to find it.This one had some really enjoyable elements about it. One of the better elements here is the fact that it manages to go back to the original's method of including more suspenseful antics here along with the chase in the opening resurrection of the statue in the pawn shop where he begins to chase and stalk the owner of the shop around before the beating that comes to pass. This starts it off nicely, while the hospital confrontations are just as fun with the battle in the morgue really getting some rather enjoyable supernatural brawls that bring his powers to the forefront which is another strong point here. It really into the cheesy side of this one, but it does give this one somewhat of a fun time here by adding another strong supernatural force to this one that matches the leprechaun powers in order to make this a bit more of an even match that adds to the finale instead of it being so one- sided and forcing him to rely on trickery here instead of luck which is how they'd dealt with him in the past. Still, this one really makes the most here by strictly focusing on the cheesy atmosphere present as the fact that this one goes for the different wishes by each of those who come into contact with the coins which allows for the fun of trying to keep the two out his room as he has the coin they want leading to the contamination sequence in the room, the fantasy woman coming to life in the owner's suite being just a ploy against him, and the fates of the unscrupulous ones who take the coin for themselves being quite fun as really goofy, cheesy scene with the finale providing this one with some fine gore that was missing from the cheesy scenes elsewhere,these here give this one enough to like that it really gives this one a lot to really like against the few flaws here. Again, like the others in the series, this one does tend to focus more on cheese than being scary or frightening while also forging new rules for dealing with him that don't make much sense, so they're not as big a deal as the film's rather bland, lifeless first half here where it sets up the down-on-his-luck atmosphere too much and keeps the kills and leprechaun off-screen which drags the pacing off. These are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.
dawsonswenson6 Warwick Davis again reprises his role as the evil rhyming Leprechaun with a hunger for his gold, but this time... He's in Las Vegas! Vegas to me seems like the perfect place for a Leprechaun to be. He does a lot of humorous things in this film, that it leaves out a bit of the horror, but it is still a great instalment to the franchise. Where do I begin to start. Well for instance the new fact that if you have a coin of the Leprechaun's and you can make a wish if you have it is new, and I find it to be a very good thing, guy wishes for a winning street and wins big in Vegas, how fun is that? And what about the sex robot? I know it probably could have looked better, but I still find that it gives a thrill there and I got a laugh out of it. And another twist is that if you get Leprechaun blood on you or mixed with your blood... You yourself become a Leprechaun. I would say that makes a lot of sense, and it is funny to see the second main character (The first being the Leprechaun) turn into a Leprechaun and be tempted to take the gold for himself, plus it was funny when the Leprechaun flipped the other to mains off. But without a doubt, the greatest about this movie is when the Leprechaun stops to play Craps at the Casino while still looking for his pot of gold, it just seems like the thing that he would do, and when I saw him do that, then those guys come to try and make him stop, then he shoves a token down that guys throat and makes him spit out a lot of coins like a slot machine. I fell on the floor laughing! This is a great film, again it is a bit more comedy then horror, but I find that to be for the better, I recommend this movie to anyone that wants a bunch of laughs, this is your movie. This movie is an 8 out of 10.
