LEPRECHAUN BACK 2 THA HOOD (2003).

Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood (2003). Look, you’re a different person after 10 years, if all goes well.  What I got a twisted kick out of in high school, I usually have far less interest in, or patience for, as an adult.  And having since seriously studied and then worked in film, there are things [...]

LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD (2000).

Leprechaun In The Hood (2000). Here the series gets its biggest blast of star power since Jennifer Aniston in the first installment, and the evil Leprechaun gets his most formidable enemy. No doubt fulfilling a career-long ambition, Ice-T appears as a pimp in the 1970s, in a flashback to a time when a man could keep a gun in [...]

LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE (1997).

Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997). Things didn’t work out for anybody in Vegas, so the franchise left the planet.  I have to say, I like the specificity of that title:  It’s not “[Title;] Leprechaun 4: [Subtitle;] Leprechaun In Space”; it’s Leprechaun 4: In Space.  The film itself is in space!  Let’s go with the obvious [...]

LEPRECHAUN 3: LEPRECHAUN IN LAS VEGAS (1995).

  Leprechaun 3: Leprechaun In Las Vegas (1995). I refuse to do any research for this article, so this entry will have to suffer for it. I hardly remember Leprechaun 3. I remember the basic plot, that an aspiring magician finds one of the Leprechaun’s gold coins in the desert, drives to Vegas and bets [...]

LEPRECHAUN 2: BRIDE OF LEPRECHAUN (1994).

Leprechaun 2: Bride Of Leprechaun (1994). There are six Leprechaun movies in existence.  As is so often the case, the first one is the best. This is probably the other one to watch, if you have to watch any. [Again, the disclaimer:  I am working almost entirely off memory here.  I’ve seen all of these [...]

LEPRECHAUN (1993).

Leprechaun (1993). There has been one story consistently dominating the news stands and magazine racks for the last six years or so, and it is clearly the dominant political issue of our times.  No, it’s not marriage equality.  No, it’s not the Iraq War.  No, it’s not the recession.  It has only ever been, in fact, this question: [...]

The LEPRECHAUN Returns.

And suddenly, almost without warning, it became time to talk about the Leprechaun movies again.   I’m not even talking about Saint Patrick’s Day, although the apparent flurry of interest concerning the Leprechaun movies has clearly been timed to coincide with that forever-linked holiday.  First, the profile of former Leprechaun star Warwick Davis got a massive boost [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoy Some LEPRECHAUN Movies.

You ask me, St. Patrick’s Day is Halloween for people of limited imagination. Exhibit A: Exhibit B: I’m something of an expert on the six Leprechaun movies, which is to say, I’ve seen them all.  For St. Patrick’s Day, I am happy to present this quick, handy guide to the most underrated series of horror films of [...]
