Where has the magic gone?.......2006-11-19

The Leprechaun series started out strong with the first three movies. Four was silly and five had way too much transsexual stuff in it for my liking - come to think of it, four had a military guy wearing a dress too.

Anyway, Back 2 Tha Hood was a good addition to the franchise. The Leprechaun's sense of humor came back with a vengenance in this one - and I loved the scene where the thug is trying to act tough while is girlfriend is yelling at him on his cell phone.

In the early movies, the Leprechaun only killed after giving people an opportunity to return his gold. In this one, he starts killing everyone - even if they had nothing to do with stealing his gold. Although there is a witch in the movie who uses magic, I was disappointed that the Leprechaun didn't use any this time out. He was a much more physcial threat.

If you enjoy this series, I'm sure you'll like this 6th installment. Go ahead and go Back 2 Tha Hood.

Great Movie!.......2006-11-10

This is one of the better Leprechaun movies i've seen in sometime. If you have the "Pot of Gore" collection , buy this along with it cause it does make a difference in the end seeing that 1-3 were truly good, the 4th movie was tragic story wise and the movie as a whole, however, the 5th movie wasnt bad, but, it still needed work in some way. But, with all the Leprechaun movies, this one truly does stand out.

Gimmie me gold back! This movie stinks!.......2006-01-18

The first visit to the hood was crazy but fun. This one is neither. There is only one funny scene and no scary scenes...so what's the point?

In some ways, the best Lep film... not a good thing.......2006-01-13

The thing that surprised me about Lep 6 is that out of all the films, it looks the most like a "real" movie. That is, the cinematography and direction is not far behind any recent blockbuster, which doesn't say much for recent horror movies... The acting is predictably cheesy, but at least it doesn't take itself too seriously.

However.

Lep doesn't rhyme at all. He doesn't rap (as he did in what I now refer to as "Back 1 tha hood", retroactively). The movie has it's moments of ridiculous glee, but it's not as much of a train wreck as previous Lep movies. Especially the previous "Back 1 tha hood" and "Lep in Space" debacles.

Being one who only viewed this movie for the entertainment value of how awful it was, this does not bode well. When the movie is trying to be scary (and it is one of the scariest lep films, imagine that) it's merely boring.

Listen to the director's commentary for a racist remark. "Because you know, having a white person steal from a black person is a bit of a role reversal!" met by silence from a probably stunned Warwick Davis.

Here's to Lep 7: Back 3 tha hood being better.

Big improvement over Leprechaun in the Hood.......2005-03-22

I am one of the people who love the Leprechaun movies(some people hate them). But they do have a fan bases and I actually think Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood is the best in the series. But I haven't seen Leprechaun 1 and 4. So it is the best of the series so far. It probably still will be the best after I watch 1 and 4. The reason I didn't see those ones is because my movie store only has Leprechaun 2,3,5,6. Leprechaun 6 is also really funny. Which anyone who has ever watched a Leprechaun movie knows they are comical I couldn't stop laughing half the time. I think Leprechaun fans will love this movie and people who didn't like Leprechaun in the Hood should give this a chance and watch, because they are very different movies. I wasn't very pleased with Leprechaun in the Hood myself and I found myself really enjoying this one. One of the things I enjoyed about the movie is the action, it had pretty good action. It also had a great preformance(as usual)by Warwick Davis(the Leprechaun). By the way the Leprechaun looks the best in this one too. Make-up wise and costume wise. One thing I am wondering why didn't the Leprechaun use any of his magic, he could have at least used it once, even though him fighting it out all the time was great. I at least wanted him to use it once. I think in Leprechaun 7 he should fight it out mostly all the time but use his magic maybe a couple times to do something, just open a door with your magic once, at least you used it. With a cheap DVD price it is worth buying because it is a good movie and has a good replay value.

A few gems in this pot o' gold..........2006-05-03

As a collector of horror movies, especially sequels, I imagined that I wouldn't find anything particularly original about this film. Knowing little of the first movie, except that Jennifer Aniston stars in it, I wasn't expecting much. However, there are a few points of light in this sequel. In it, one can find scenes shot at the purported ruins of Harry Houdini's estate, Michael McDonald of "MAD TV" chewing the scenery in an early film role (his death scene is fairly gross), and the location of a fun go-kart park. I imagined all they needed to do was get the titular stalker cruising around in a go-kart to make the film worth my money in gold. The filmmakers obliged. And so, being pleased by this pay-off, I am bound to consider viewing the other sequels that seem to stem endlessly from this franchise...

Leprechaun 2.......2005-12-13

The Lep is back, and this time....he's mad.

-MINOR SPOILERS-

This is my first Leprechaun movie. I heard they were really cheesy, so I had to watch them. I decided to start with part 2 and move up. I heard that the first wasn't so good. Anyway, our old pal Leprechaun's in search of a bride. 1,000 years ago Leppie thought he found the perfect gal, all she had to do was sneeze 3 times, without anyone saying "God bless you". The third sneeze came....but....NO!!! Someone cursed the sneeze. Great...now Leprechaun has to wait another millinium. Cut to Los Angeles, exactly 1,000 years later. Bridget, whose ancestor was Leppie's first bride, leads a normal existence with her boyfriend, Cody. The !@#$ hits the fan when the Leprechaun finds out about his new soon-to-be bride. This is a cheese classic, however there are 3 things wrong. The pace is kind of slow, there's not a lot of gore, and at times the movie feels too silly. I was mostly happy with the purchase of this DVD, despite it's flaws. There's a lot of great things in this movie. If you hate Mad TV(I love the show, however), you can see one of the show's actors having their face literally steamed off...which I have to admit was a great gore scene. Also, there's a really humorous scene in which our magical murderer gets drunk, with a bunch of midgets cheering him on. This is when Leppie utters my favorite quote;"drink what you might, drink what you're able, but if you're drinking with me, you'll be under the table!". Freakin' hilarious, man! I say, watch this movie, but rent first. I can't wait to see the murderous midget in action again!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-10-26

this is the worst movie i have ever seen corney, fake, cheesy, boring thats the whole movie lepricons are sopust to be peace ful not going around killing people.

Leprechaun 2 (Three and a Half Stars).......2005-07-14

This review refers to the edition found in Trimark's "Leprechaun: Pot of Gore Collection" boxed set.

THE WHO'S WHO: Starring Warwick Davis, Charlie Heath, Shevonne Durkin, Adam Biesk, Arturo Gil, Linda Hopkins, James Lancaster, Sandy Baron, Clint Howard. Score Composed and Arranged By Jonathan Elias. Directed By Rodman Flender. (R) For Mild Violence, Mild Gore, Very Mild Profanity, Suggested Drug Use, Nudity and Very Mild Sexual Content; 85m.; 1994.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?: On his one thousandth birthday, the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is able to take a bride. But the woman (Shevonne Durkin) he chooses is the daughter of his captured slave, William O'Day (James Lancaster). Before the Leprechaun can secure his new bride, O'Day upsets his plans and ensures that his daughter won't have to wed the nasty pint-sized villain. Angered, the Leprechaun places a curse on O'Day's bloodline. A millennium passes and now the vile Leprechaun has arrived in modern day Los Angeles to claim O'Day's ancestor (also Shevonne Durkin) as his replacement wife. But her current boyfriend (Charlie Heath) may have something to say about the Leprechaun's matrimonial choice. Director Rodman Flender takes the reins of the series from Mark Jones (who stayed on as a co-producer for this film) and crafts an admirable sequel to a unique original. The balance between laughter and mild suspense is still present, as well as strong characterizations from the starring roles. Charlie Heath is easy to respond to in his role of Cody Ingels. He has a winning personality and he comes across as genuine in his performance. Sandy Baron grabs most of the non-Leprechaun induced humor as Cody's legal guardian, Mortimer. But the best of the bunch is Shevonne Durkin, playing Cody's love interest (and the Leprechaun's) Bridget. While her acting can be fairly one-dimensional at times, her beauty and charisma overcome any impediments her limited talent places before her. The relationship between her character and Heath's also adds some intimate warmth to the film that strengthens the viewer's connection to them. As would be the case with all entries in this long-running series, Warwick Davis steals every spotlight he's given. His achievement excels amongst the ranks of horror movie anti-heroes, placing him on the same shelf with evil incarnates such as Freddy Krueger and Charles Lee Ray (better known as Chucky). Once again, Gabe Z. Bartalos does a commendable job creating the Leprechaun's make-up. From the first time you see him on camera till the last, you never feel that the make-up is a noticeable distraction. Rather, it's an addition of Davis' personality, an extension of his talent that fits him perfectly and is never lapse in its detail or its believability. Joining the credible make-up effects are a few truly extravagant low budget special effects, including my personal favorite...a battle between Cody and the skeleton of William O'Day deep in the halls of the Leprechaun's lair. The one major flaw of this film lies in Jonathan Elias' mediocre score. Instead of following up on Kevin Kiner's brilliant work from the first film, Elias takes his score in a completely generic direction. Trivia buffs take note: the African-American leprechaun in Brennan's Pub is played by none other than Tony Cox, who would go on to star opposite Billy Bob Thornton in "Bad Santa" almost a decade later. Die hard trivia buffs will also know that Cox did stunt work for the original "Leprechaun" movie. Also, actor Arturo Gil (who plays a drunk at the pub) did some stunt work for this film. Overall, this is one of those "direct descendant" sequels that retains the first film's feeling while developing a new storyline for itself. Though we've grown use to the idea of a Leprechaun terrorizing victims, we're still entertained by it. The series would start to go downhill a few years later, but this second "Leprechaun" outing still packs a punch for genre purists.

THEY SAY THEY'RE SPECIAL BUT...: As amazing as it sounds, this film actually has a 1.85:1 widescreen transfer. Only three of the six "Leprechaun" films can boast that, although why the original film isn't one of them I'll never know. While there are a few speckles of grain here and there, the widescreen presentation is clear for the most part and should delight fans of the series. Considering this movie only has an ultra stereo track accompanying it, it can be quite exuberant and full from time to time. Effects and dialogue are well defined and the musical backdrop stands out proudly against the rest of the film without obscuring the forefront. There are also French and Spanish subtitles which are a Halloween-style orange and have been placed well within the frame of the film. The front cover for this plastic case finds the Leprechaun backed by a city skyline at night holding a white candle in his hand. The back cover, much like the one for the original film, is a mishmash of photographs, information about the movie and the twenty-four chapter stops for this eighty-five minute film. The disc itself carries over the bleak nothingness of the first "Leprechaun" DVD. There's no painted photograph and no silver image imbedded into the top. There's only that annoying little white stripe surrounding the center hole that identifies this disc as "Leprechaun 2". There's another small "Trimark DVD: The Ultimate in Home Entertainment" booklet (exactly the same as the one in the initial film's case) residing opposite the disc. As with the first chiller, the only special feature on this DVD is the trailer (1:06) which is interesting, although it's far too short.

THE YOLK'S ON YOU: It's not much of a hidden feature, but it'll have to do. On the main menu for this disc, highlight the Trimark symbol in the lower left hand corner. You'll have access to trailers for the films "Leprechaun", "Leprechaun 3" and "Leprechaun 4: In Space" (4:25).

THE LEWD AND NUDE ALERT: Bridget (Shevonne Durkin) bares her breasts in her garage as part of a Leprechaun trick to lure the unsuspecting Ian (Adam Biesk) in. That's the beginning and the end of the sexuality "Leprechaun 2" exudes.

THE GORE REPORT: True gorehounds will find two worthwhile moments of bloodshed in this film, mixed between the secondary occurrences. The first sees a talent agent (Mark Keily) having his finger wrenched off by the Leprechaun when the Leprechaun goes for the man's gold ring. The second, and by the far the best, showcases an espresso café waiter (Michael James McDonald) having his face steamed off by an espresso machine after he makes fun of the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis), who's recovering from his alcoholic binge at Brennan's pub moments earlier.

SAY AGAIN: "Drink what you want. Drink what you're able. If you're drinking with me, you'll be under the table." - The Leprechaun (Warwick Davis)

THE FINAL SAY: Yes, I recommend buying this DVD. The best route would be to purchase the first five "Leprechaun" films in the "Pot of Gore Collection" boxed set, however this solid sequel is able to stand on its own as an individual entity. For less obsessed "Leprechaun" fans who weren't sure about the remainder of the series, buying this one separately might be a preferable option. Either way, you can't go wrong with this entry.

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM: "Living in the City" Performed By Nigel Jenkins. "Forgive and Forget" Performed By Grahame Maclean and Barry Ryder. "Wham! Bam! Alacazam! (Hot Damn, it's a Rockabilly Band)" Performed By the RoadKings. Score Available on Varese Sarabande Compact Discs.

Short people got no reason to love.......2005-02-28

Years ago, a poor little leprechaun who would have had friends if only he hadn't killed them off sought to get his gold back from some annoying teenagers in New Mexico. Thwarted by a leaf and a slingshot, the leprechaun never fully realized his dreams of having back his pot of gold. And now, the good people of Vidmark "We Bring Good Crap to Life" Entertainment present...something totally irrelevant to the first movie.

At least I assume so. Must be in an alternate universe. One reason is that in the first movie the leprechaun claimed to be 600 years old. This one he's 1,000 years old. Another interesting plothole pointed out by another reviewer is that St. Patrick's day was created some 500 years ago, making one raise an eyebrow at the tie-in the movie makes with the holiday 1,000 years ago. Luckily, after all those thousand years the leprechaun isn't after his pot o' gold...he just wants some lovin'. If this were a hentai we may have been subjected to seeing him acquire this, but those with queezy stomachs should rest easy that the one redeemable quality of this movie is the leprechaun never gets "the some."

So enjoy the movie about a short fellow who goes after his love while killing gay coffee store clerks and thwarting the efforts of Drunk Man and his sidekick Whiney Boy. I have to add that another reason for the alternate universe theory is that its no longer a four-leaf clover that kills the leprechaun. Instead, any good piece of rought iron will do. Oh yeah, and grabbing a piece of his gold will defend you against him.

Basically, this cleared up nothing about the first movie, didn't advance the story from the last one, and heck doesn't even seem like the same universe. A waste of time. A waste of your time, my time, and the time of the American people. Avoid it or be subjected to such puns as "Finger-lickin' good!" Not gonna listen to me? Fine. Just don't come crying back to me when your brain implodes.

Magical Help Can Backfire--For a While.......2007-03-08

Nine-year old Molly moves to Ireland and enters into a world of leprechauns. One of them appears to her and promises her good luck. But one problem after another besets her in her new environment. Two bullying boys steal her lunch, and she gets blamed for the ensuing commotion. At another time, the bullies provoke a food fight, but she gets blamed for it. The leprechaun comes one night and releases a shooting star in her home. Instead of helping her, the shooting star tears the whole place up and then breaks a window in its exit out of the house. Guess who gets blamed for all the damage? Certainly not the leprechaun, in whom the father does not believe.

Molly's father realizes that she has gone through a lot in the last year and a half. She lost her mother, all her friends, and was forced to leave her home in Chicago and move to Ireland with her dad. He supposes that Molly is living in her fantasy world of leprechauns as a result of her difficult experiences. He believes that she is blaming her disruptive behavior on leprechauns as an escape from responsibility for her actions.

Then there is a cart race. The leprechaun lifts and carries the cart with Molly, named the Rainbow Racer, airborne to near the finish line. Molly wins the race, but then gets disqualified because she and her cart were not seen at a cross point. Molly is heartbroken. The leprechaun has caused her nothing but trouble. She decides to ask the leprechaun to stop seeing her. What's more, her father is about to lose their new home owing to a severe financial liability incurred by the former owner.

Will the leprechaun still come? And with good luck at last? Will he help Molly? Will he enable the father to save ownership of his and Molly's new home? Will Molly catch the leprechaun and get the pot of gold? I will not spoil the ending by revealing it.

A True Gift.......2000-05-11

For me films like this one just don't come around as often as i'd like. It has just every thing I could wish for in a film like this I do so LOVE this film! My only regret is that I didn't see it when I was younger, when I first learned about leprechauns. Lucky is SO cute! After Molly meets him she has a dream where he is a very unlucky leprechaun, but when she awakens she finds that he really is lucky after all. And the music that is played over the beginning is just perfect for it. I heard music a lot like that played over the beginning of "Circle of Friends"

Excellent Children's Movie.......2000-03-23

My girls (ages 9 and 6) watched this movie for the first time and fell in love with it. We have watched it over and over again. There are alot of good messages in this movie and is very enlightening. I think it will go down as one of our classics that we will go back to watch time and time again.

Very Unlucky Leprechaun.......1999-05-11

This is a great childrens movie. It will make you laugh, how this Leprachaun brings bad luck, not good to a girl who has just moved to a small town, then come to find out, he does help her out. Buy this movie for your small children right here at amazon.com.

This is the 1993 horror movie whose little Irish monster was frequently quoted by late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien: "I want me gold!" Sure you do, pal. Diminutive actor Warwick Davis (who played an Ewok in Return of the Jedi) plays a creepy, killer leprechaun wandering an American suburb in search of the gold stolen from him. Woe be to anyone who inadvertently gets in his way, including Tori (Jennifer Aniston) and her pals, who somehow have to get their hands on a four-leaf clover (what's wrong with a yellow moon or pink hearts?) to stop the dinky demon. Not exactly a promotional campaign from the Irish Tourist Board, Leprechaun is nevertheless good, silly fun. --Tom Keogh

LUCK OF THE IRISH.......2006-04-03

Now noted for the somewhat inauspicious debut of FRIENDS Jennifer Ashton, this tidy little horror movie is fun to watch, much of that due to the infectious villainy of Warwick Davis as the devilish little leprechaun who wants "me gold back." That's pretty much the plot, the little guy trying to get his gold back from a little boy and his mentally challenged friend. Aniston is serviceable, and Ken Olandt adds some beef for the girls. It's mindlessly entertaining, sort of a miniature Freddy Krueger villain.

Leprechaun (1993).......2005-12-31

Director: Mark Jones
Cast: Warwick Davis, Jennifer Aniston, Ken Olandt, Mark Holton, Robert Hy Gorman, Shay Duffin, John Sanderford, John Voldstad.
Running Time: 92 minutes
Rated R for language, violence, and gore.

The movie begins with an old Irish guy, drunk off his knocker, coming home to his house in North Dakota. He keeps saying he's rich and his wife keeps saying he's drunk, so he breaks open a bunch of ashes and takes out a few gold pieces. He reveals that he found a leprechaun (Warwick Davis) and now the leprechaun has given him all his gold. Having hold his precious gold stolen, the evil clubbed midget (or is it more politically correct to say "evil clubbed little person"?) attacks the Irish guy's wife and kills her. Once he's killed someone, he can use their voice. (One of the many unseen aspects of the leprechaun, it seems.) He lures the old man into the basement and toys with him. Finally, the old man traps him in a crate and nails a four leaf clover to the box. Fast forward to ten years later, with spoiled L.A. brat Tory (Jennifer Aniston) and her father move into the old Irish guy's house. She becomes friends quickly with her `hunky' (he looks like some country singer or something) nieghbor (Ken Olandt) and the town's pair of bumbling sidekicks, Alex and Ozzie (Robert Hy Gorman and Mark Holton). The group unfortunately opens the leprechaun's crate and the idiotic, yet humorous terror begins.

The acting, as in all movies of the genre, is pretty bad. Jennifer Aniston shows very little of the talent that would later come out. No one on the face of the earth in 1993 was thinking that she would later become one of the most well-known actresses of the past decade, and her performance is an indicator why. Warwick Davis, of "Willow" fame, plays the famed leprechaun, but he seems more disinterested by the role and actually performing it with some dazzle. The dialogue is pretty bad, although a couple of good lines do sneak by. Somehow, Leprechaun ends up equaling more than the sum of its parts with its juvenile humor and corny wit. It's not a good movie by any stretch, but ends up being tolerable for an hour and a half.

This isn't really a review but more of a comment on a previous review. One that says that makes the remark about it being a great family film about an Irish Leprechaun. Is there any other kind of leprechaun, besides Irish?

The Pinnacle of the Leprechaun Series - 10 stars off the Chart!.......2007-01-31

This the best Leprechaun Show ever and unfortunately the last good Lep flick. Lep in the Hood is just plain stupid. None of the Leprechaun movies were ever scary except perhaps the very first one. I think when the producers realized the comedy potential of the Leprechaun Series they just kept making each movie funnier until they exhausted the idea with the totally flat "Leprechaun in the Hood". I laughed so hard I couldn't breath when the space marine took a leak on the Leprechauns body only to later give birth to to the wise cracking Leprechaun via his own urethra! That's comedic genius to tenth power! It just keeps getting better. I tell everyone about this movie. The two best Lep movies are w/o a doubt Leprechaun in Las Vegas and Leprechaun in Space.

LAMErechaun a PG13 rated movie if theyd just cut 1 pethetic un-needed scene).......2006-06-03

The first 3 Lep movies have been ok. But this one is a huge downfall of #### rolled into more ####.

PLOT
Leppy is for some reason living on another planet and he has kidnapped some kind of alien princess who he intends to marry to make himself king and then do away with her once he has the power. But mirines come along and wreck Leps day when they blow him away and take his bride-to-be. Leppy regenerates on a space ship of the mirines and a science team and starts killing them off in search of his bride-to-be and gold. The mirines fight back, blah blah blah.

OPINION
This movie sucks so badly on so many levels. Firstly the acting. Warrick Davis plays the charactor just as well as he always has, tho he's been given some really crappy lines to say. But he doesnt fit in well with the bad dialog and speech of the other zaney charactors. The German doctor is a combination of German stereotypes of a cross between Hitler and Seigfried of Get Smart with a lot of Coprel Clinger or whoever it was from that show. He is just an annoying voice and the actor even lets his English accent slip through quite often. The Mirine captain is a joke gone wrong. You cant even lagh at how bad it is, it's just petheticly bad. The other actors are somewhat trying to act, but theyre not going to have and future roles offered to them from this movie, thats for sure. I recignised one of them from Jason Takes Manhatten and he must be kicking himself he's been in two stinker horror flicks. The leading roles are a guy and a girl who you just dont care for and wont be admitting they did this movie when people ask them about themselves.

EFFECTS: The effects are terrible. There is no death scene woth looking at cause they are all cut away shadow kind of things to leave to your imagination cause they think its better that way but really it's because they spent all there money on the crappy CGI effects they put in. I wouldnt even say the special effects of this movie where up to childrens telivision standards. They where REALLY bad effects. The opening scene of them landing on the planet and a thunderstorm is around them as it pans to the cave they are in is super-dooper-BAD effects. I guess in 1997 they could claim there CGI technology wasnt so good... but who are they kidding, these graphics looked knocked up in about 5 minutes. Not to forget pointing out the unnesserssery nudity of a women who flashes her breasts that arnt worth looking at because on her planet that is how her people give you the there version of the "kiss of death" ... uh-huh, more like brainless priducers adding something they THINK will take your mind off the bad acting going on. Even at the end for absolutly no reason the heroine loses her pants and runs around in a one peice swimsuit... gimmie a break, it's just PETHETIC to throw that in for the hell of it. it WONT attarct ANYONE. it's so lame. IT DOESNT ADD ANYTHING TO THE MOVIE it takes it away.

No bonus features, thank god, i wouldnt have watched them, anyhow. Theres just the trailers of part 1, 2, 3 and 5. This is the worst in the Leprechaun series. This whole movie shouldve been cut down to an hour and been a TV epsiode of some lame-horror show they would put on somewhere. Not good enough for the twiglight zone or Tales From The Crypt not even Freddys nightmares! It wasnt scary and I wouldnt say there is any form of gore anywhere in the movie, maybe they could make it an episode of Goosebumps seeing as how PG rated the whole thing is without the nudity that should be cut out for being the most useless and pethetic scene in the whole film. THATS WHAT GAVE IT AN R-RATING...JUST THAT PETHETIC LITTLE UN-NEEDED SCENE!!!!!! If that scene gets cut, its PG13!
If any of the actors in this film ever caught a leprechaun, there first wish would be that this movie never got made or they just wernt in it.

I cant dismiss it as the worst thing ive ever seen tho, I didnt get tired and want to turn it off, i kept watching it it to see how bad and lame it would get. And it does become lamer and lamer as it goes.

I give it one and a half stars.

I am not Mitten-heim..........2006-01-13

I am... MITTEN-SPIDER!!!

If you are opposed to a movie that includes that line, stop reading now. Even hardcore lep fans have been turned off by this amount of cheesiness.

Nearly everything in the movie is random. No explaination is even given for Lep being in space.

Random clothes get torn off.

There are even random, gratuitous breasts.

The acting and cinematography are on par with the Star Wars Christmas Special (that will automatically turn anyone off to this movie who has seen the Christmas special... that .02% of you).

That said it's a comedy goldmine. There's always an excuse to laugh at what's on the screen.

It has to be seen to believed, so I'll stop talking. If you're going to buy this movie, you know who you are.

Killer Tomatoes .......2005-12-12

If you enjoyed "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" you will love this film. That really sums up the whole thing. Don't expect great special effects or deep story lines. It is simply a piece of mind candy that is loads of fun to watch and laugh at, it is packed with all the stereo types, cliches and cheesy effects you expect from a great B movie. After catching it at 3:00 AM on TV, I enjoyed it enough to buy a copy. This is the only one of the "Leprechaun" series that I bought, or ever will buy.

Leprechaun 4: In Space (Three Stars).......2005-08-01

This review refers to the edition found in Trimark's "Leprechaun: Pot of Gore Collection" boxed set.

THE WHO'S WHO: Starring Warwick Davis, Brent Jasmer, Jessica Collins, Tim Colceri, Miguel A. Nunez Jr., Debbe Dunning, Gary Grossman, Rebekah Carlton, Rick Peters, Geoff Meed, Michael Cannizzo, Ladd York, Guy Siner. Score Composed By Dennis Michael Tenney. Directed By Brian Trenchard-Smith. (R) For Violence, Very Mild Gore, Profanity, Nudity and Mild Sexual Content; 95m.; 1996.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?: Most of the filmmakers who took the nasty little Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) to Las Vegas have returned to put him in outer space for this fourth entry in the long running series. Somewhere in the future, a team of marines arrive on the planet Ithacon to save the beautiful Princess Zarina (Rebekah Carlton) from a loathsome alien menace (our homicidal anti-hero) who wants to wed her so he can rule the universe as a king. Somewhere along the line, the mission's priorities are changed by the shifty Dr. Mittenhand (Guy Siner) who has a more scientific purpose in mind for the rescued princess. There's a variety of new elements being added to this sequel; some of them work while others fall horribly flat. The worst aspects come from contrived plot points involving genetic experimentation and flat, lackluster settings that make the production feel unnecessarily claustrophobic. Even the Leprechaun's lair in the opening moments of the movie feels tiny and cramped, unlike the beseeming scope of the one utilized in "Leprechaun 2". Another disheartening fact is Dennis Michael Tenney's score. One would think it would have been impossible for him to create a backdrop more bland than the one he composed for part three of the franchise, however he proves it can be done with this humdrum hack. Fortunately for die hard "Leprechaun" fanatics, the best aspects of the film far outweigh the drawbacks. The agreeably corny one-liners prove that director Brian Trenchard-Smith hasn't abandoned the taste for lunatic comedy he displayed in "Leprechaun 3". Gabe Bartalos has done another wonderful job on the Leprechaun's make-up, not to mention the superb craftsmanship he displays on another monstrous creation during the latter half of the film. But the highlight of this entry is the underappreciated cast who put more effort into the movie than it probably deserves. Jessica Collins is a delight as Dr. Tina Reeves, overshadowing Lee Armstrong's leading lady role from the prior film. Brent Jasmer is personable enough in his role as Sergeant "Books" Malloy, he just doesn't have the overwhelming natural charisma John Gatins had in "Leprechaun 3". Rebekah Carlton is good as the Dominian Princess Zarina while veteran actor Miguel A. Nunez Jr. turns in another venerable performance as Sticks, adding to his list of horror credentials. Guy Siner makes a fair Dr. Mittenhand, but often times Gary Grossman steals scenes as Mittenhand's assistant Harold. The best support is provided by Tim Colceri as Sergeant Hooker. His transformation from a metal head marine into a transvestite assassin has to be seen to be believed. While the new cast stands out in this one, Warwick Davis' acting is old hat. He doesn't shimmer with the brilliant enjoyment he displayed in the previous three films. He's not exactly bored by the proceedings either, just overly familiar with the material he's been given. Overall, this is a fairly solid entry in a series that was slowly losing ground. With each passing installment, the filmmakers had to rely on new gimmicks to lure fans back to the franchise. While the addition of a space motif was a novel approach, true "Leprechaun" fans would have been just as happy to see our malicious villain stalking his victims back on Earth in a film more reminiscent of the first two entries.

THEY SAY THEY'RE SPECIAL BUT...: The 1.33:1 full screen for this film is the clearest presentation to grace a "Leprechaun" DVD yet, although its clarity does betray the monetary limitations of some of its special effects. Still, the colors are intense, flesh tones appear natural and black levels are deep and even. The accompanying audio track is full and bright, especially for a regular stereo sound track. There is also a Spanish language track on this film as well as English, Spanish and French subtitles. Subtitles are off-white in color and are fairly easy to read. The front cover for this DVD finds the beastly Leprechaun hovering in space with white/green lightning shooting forth from one of his fingers. Beneath him is a vehicular module next to a small American flag, both residing on the surface of some darkened, bleak outer space world. The back cover sports a bevy of photographs, information pertaining to the film and the twenty-four chapter stops which separate this ninety-five minute movie. The DVD itself is a silver-topped affair imprinted with the title of the film as well as other small bits of data. Opposite the disc is the exact same "Trimark DVD: The Ultimate in Home Entertainment" booklet that has bedecked the inner case of each previous entry to the series. Much like the other "Leprechaun" films, the only special feature found here is the original trailer (1:35) which is fairly funny and gives an accurate representation of the film's contents.

THE YOLK'S ON YOU: It's not much of a hidden feature, but it'll have to do. On the main menu for this disc, highlight the Trimark symbol in the lower right hand corner. You'll have access to trailers for the films "Leprechaun" (2:01), "Leprechaun 2" (1:16), "Leprechaun 3" (1:04), and "Leprechaun in the Hood" (once again displayed as "Leprechaun 5") (1:57).

THE LEWD AND NUDE ALERT: Viewers get to see former "Home Improvement" actress Debbe Dunning (as Delores) strut her stuff on the dance floor in a silver tank top and a pair of shorts. She also mimes milking one of her breasts before exiting for a tryst with her boyfriend Kowalski (Geoff Meed). We then get a few brief glimpses of her lovely breasts encased in a bra as she "shakes hands with the big guy". A vision of a nude Tina Reeves (Jessica Collins) appears outside a laboratory door, unfortunately Collins doesn't show anything revealing. That's a shame considering how enthralling she is. At least salacious viewers are treated to a few shots of her fine backside in tight clothing throughout the duration of the film. As an extra bonus, during the last act, Collins gets stripped of her red pants and spends the rest of the movie running around in a pair of little black panties. For those disappointed by the lack of nudity on Dunning or Collins' part, Princess Zarina (Rebekah Carlton) does give a very long view of her small but magnificent bosom just over an hour into the film.

THE GORE REPORT: In the early going, an alien life form gets fragged by an overanxious space marine, leaving quite an interesting carcass. One marine is reduced to a skeleton after encountering some flesh eating bacteria, though it's not a particularly gory scene. There are a few more smatterings of gore in other scenes, but there's nothing really worthwhile for cinematic bloodhounds to drool over.

SAY AGAIN: "Listen, you little pencil-necked geek! You give me the doctor...now, before I jerk out your teeth and sh*t down your throat!" - Sergeant Hooker (Tim Colceri). "Thank you, I've already had my lunch." - Harold (Gary Grossman).

THE FINAL SAY: Yes, I recommend buying this DVD. It's always a risky proposition to take an established horror character into the far reaches of outer space. While this fourth film doesn't live up to the expectations set by the original trilogy, it does feature some hilarious moments and should please anyone looking for a halfway decent time killer.
