The luck of the Irish wasn't with this director, or with us guys watching for that matter. What the heck happened to Aniston's nipples, is it just cold on the set of "Friends" or does she stuff grapes down her bra? Regardless of all that, here's a movie befitting a hangover from green beer.
Ten years ago Dan O'Grady returned from Ireland a rich man, wealthy beyond his wildest dreams after taking the Leprechaun's gold. The devious little guy didn't take kindly to losing his loot, after finding the O'Gradys he kills the Mrs. and tortures Dan into having a stroke.
The old coot managed to stuff the midget into a crate, complete with four leaf clover to render him powerless, prior to collapsing. Now Tory's father has purchased the old farm, with Nathan and his pals fixing it up everything is going peachy - until Ozzie brushes the clover off the crate. Out pops the meanest thing under four feet tall you've ever seen, with a sick sense of humor to boot. It's only after Tory finds a four leaf clover and Alex slingshots the lucky charm into his mouth that the Leprechaun is vanquished.
There are some serious blockheads in this movie, Ozzie is first and foremost, though deputy Tripet comes in a close second. He pulls this maniac elf over for driving a Barbie race car down the road, it starts biting the heck out of him... ... so he runs into the woods. Then he throws his police baton at it. Besides killing stupid cops the Leprechaun is always whining about his lost treasure, "Where's meee gooolllddd?" and shining shoes, they actually distract him at one point by tossing dirty footwear his way. Not a very scary movie, but it's goofy as all get out most of the time
'Leprechaun in the hood' is only for those people who love to laugh at really silly things. If you are expecting wit and a complex storyline, then look somewhere else. The great thing about this movie is the fact that the leprechaun is played by someone who clearly has a good sense of humour, and is able to actually make the audience sympathise with him while he goes on a killing spree.
I bought this film as i had seen part of it one evening on the horror channel but didnt stay awake long enough to watch all of it. I found this film more hilarious than scary, the leprechaun made me laugh with its rhymes, and it is sooo ugly too. There wasnt anything that i didnt like about this film, i can watch it over and over.
Ok so the title makes it seem corny, so what, it is! It is so bad that it becomes a classic. From the moment the leprechaun sleeps with the transvestite to the hip-hop guy dressing as a woman being prepared to go down on a leprechaun, it is class!
The limericks from the Lep are brilliant and if you dont watch this, you will regret it!
