Nonureva Really Surprised!
Steineded How sad is this?
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
a_chinn Warwick Davis' evil leprechaun has been to the country, to Las Vegas, and even to space! The next logical location is the hood, right? Three would be rappers steal jewels and gold from a pimp played by Ice-T, and unwittingly release the evil leprechaun, who once again kills everyone who gets in the way of him finding his gold. The leprechaun was wisely never made out a dark or serious of horror villain, so placing him onto the mean streets of the hood only adds to the comedic elements of the character and franchise. The genre mash-up of horror and urban street dramas is comic gold with the leprechaun getting shot up by drive-by shooters and smoking weed a Coolio lookalike. How can you resist? And the Leprechaun in a full-body flame stunt alone was worth the price of admission (or at least worth watching it on TV).
Stevieboy666 On paper this sounds a good idea: Warwick Davis, despite his dubious Irish accent, is very entertaining as the witty, deadly Leprechaun, and I love hip-hop, I've seen Ice-T several times live here in the UK. But sadly this film, apart from a few moments, just doesn't work. The film feels flat, the gore & humour isn't on par with previous episodes, every other word is f*** or muthaf***er, it's too long (even at 90mins) & the Leprechaun rapping at the end is excruciatingly bad. Easily the worst of the first 5 films, next up is Leprechaun 6...
jessegehrig Have you seen what human beings do to each other, I mean man, whats the point? Yeah I've been intoxicated and seen this movie more than once. I've passionately defended this movie and fantasized about making a Leprechaun western. We make choices and we live with them. Do you want to know the plot of this movie? The plot is humans dream, and those dreams fuel us to struggle for unattainable goals, goals that ultimately destroy us. We mark our achievements with meaningless baubles and then suffer from the hollowness of these baubles. Does the Leprechaun smoke pot? Yes. Is there nudity? I don't remember but probably. There are good scenes in this movie but they appear in spite of producers wishes, y'know like no one can entirely screw up a movie, some particle always shines. I mean at some point some one has to ask why expend the effort and money to make these movies, yes Warwick Davis gets something out of this as short actors are desperate for work, Hollywood has a bias, but what do you and I get out of it? Entertainment is a nice way of saying utter pointlessness.
Wizard-8 With this entry, I have now seen all six entries of this series, so I can say with full confidence that this particular entry is the WORST of the series. Watching it, it becomes clear that there were some problems behind the scenes that made their way to in front of the camera. Take the murder of the pawn shop owner - not only do you NOT get to see exactly how the pawn shop owner is being killed, but we get close-up footage of the leprechaun that's actually used AGAIN later in the movie! There are also numerous script problems (despite FIVE screenwriters being credited.) How does the Ice-T character know about the leprechaun and its treasure when he breaks into the leprechaun's lair at the beginning of the movie? How does the leprechaun, frozen for years, know about stuff like Tiger Woods and 'hood lingo and life? If the leprechaun has the ability to blow someone's guts out with a flick of the wrist, why does he seldom use this power? But even had the script been more coherent and missing all its padding that makes the movie stretch on forever, it would still suffer from rock-bottom production values. Most of the movie looks like it was shot in back alleys and sparsely furnished rooms. The cinematography is out of focus and looks muddy. Except for two rap sequences (a hilariously blasphemous rap number at a church, and the leprechaun getting a rap of his own at the end), there's no gold at the end of this rainbow.
