AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
washedout-48194 yes dawgas an origin story I think it sets up the future franchise well: Leprachauns. It's important to understand the religious and moral backgrounds to this tightly interwoven plot. The excitement of the fast paced scenes and special effects right got me going. This film's only weakness are these two things The grammar The wrong leg was goneI like the way he didn't die but then cement killed him
Stevieboy666 Once again the little Leprechaun revives & is on the hunt for the people that have stolen his gold. This installment is a little slow at first but once it gets going it's pretty enjoyable. Strangely the Leprechaun doesn't rhyme in this one, which is a shame, but he does get high (really funny) & his violence, especially towards women, appears nastier than before. Certainly an improvement on the dreadful part 5, it's an OK watch for fans of the series.
BA_Harrison Hairdresser from tha hood Emily Woodrow (Tangi Miller) and her ghetto pals discover a chest full of gold coins and, ignoring a warning from a psychic woman to deny their newfound wealth, find themselves threatened by a malevolent leprechaun.What has made the Leprechaun sequels bearable thus far is their blatant silliness and camp characters, with the focus on twisted humour rather than genuine horror. Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood plays everything a little too straight for its own good, with not nearly enough in the way of knowingly dumb nonsense: the death scenes are forgettable, and with some of the least likable protagonists of the whole franchise (drug smoking, gun toting thugs with few redeeming qualities), Back 2 tha Hood proves to be quite the painful experience.The funniest scene in the whole sorry mess is when Leprechaun (Warwick Davis, returning for the paycheck) smokes a bong, but we already saw the little guy get stoned in the previous film (which handled the whole 'G' thang with a lot more fun).
ca_dale One day I stumbled upon this film in a video clearance bin for $1.11. I'd heard about the long running "Leprechaun" series of horror/comedies and how they were pretty funny despite (or because) of their low budgets, but had never seen any of them. Well needless to say curiosity got the better of me and I decided to give it a shot. Not the smartest call.LB2TH's fatal flaw is painfully obvious from the get go. The Leprechaun isn't the least bit intimidating and his continuous string of one-liners fall flat as a fart. All he does is wonder around, crack a lame joke, get shot a few times by thugs, wonder some more, and crack another lame joke. Wash, rinse, and repeat. The dead serious reactions of the assailed group towards their nemesis, as though it were some grotesque beast (some lost trick-or-treater would be a more accurate description), still can't hide the fact that the Leprechaun is lame and stupid. After 45 minutes the whole thing just gets painfully tedious.This is a shame given that the situations presented in LB2TH's script (smoking weed, getting pushed in a fridge, giving a fat chick a massage) are solid enough for it to work as a passable horror/comedy. The problem is that the awful delivery sucks all the life out of these situations. One thing I cannot forgive them for though, is putting in the running gag of guys saying "What up my Ninja?" Ninja? Ninja?! Bloody NINJA?! Someone needs a serious *** kicking for writing such tripe.
