burnadrenaline This movie is funny on so many levels. Whatever horror/comedy mash-up the directors of this series are aiming for, I think they did the best job on this one. I liked it better than the first one because the Lepruchaun came into the story earlier. I could kind of relate to the lead, who isn't running ragged trying to impress a girl with lots of crap getting in the way at his age? I loved the drinking scene with the Lepruchaun and Morty. Apparently if the green guy gets drunk enough he CAN lose his powers. Lot's of over-the-top deaths , including one with an espresso machine of all things. The graphics in the Lepruchaun's house were pretty good by B-movie standards, and that's how I judge this thing, mainly because it is a sequel centering around a killer Lepruchaun. I guess, compared to the other ones (I've seen 5 out of 6 of these things) I thought the other characters were a little more developed than in the others. It also brings our ways-to-kill-an-evil-Lepruchaun count to 2. What I'm saying is, this movie is so bad it's good. I can't give it much higher than a 6 because it is thoroughly a B-movie but I think it can be fun for the right audience. For fans of bizarre movies I recommend it. If you and you're friends want something to laugh at, especially when you're up half the night or more, this will do it.

one-nine-eighty If you read my review of "Leprechaun" and wondered if Warwick Davies survived the first film then welcome to your answer….. No, he died in the first film…. But Yes, he came back!!Like the first film this one starts with a flash back (to 1094 AD) sequence to set the scene, in this movie the Leprechaun has turned 1000 years old and is looking for a wife. During the flashback he is tricked by a O'Day (a slave) into sparing the young lady who turns out to be the slaves daughter, angry about being tricked he makes a magical pact to one day wed the descendant of his previous potential bride - this will coincide with his 2000th birthday. It's easy to see why this film is referred to as "one wedding and lots of funerals". Despite finding a potential wife (Bridget Callum) he can't go through with the marriage as the young hero of the film (Cody Ingalls)managed to steal a gold coin which will prevent the marriage from taking place. This film is very similar to the first film in that it's pretty awful but still entertaining. It's an odd jump from the first film's objective of retrieving his gold to looking for a bride in the film. Upon reading more about this I found that the audience would normally assume this to be after film one in chronological order when in fact it's the 5th film if you do your research - just trying to get your head around that after watching the films back to back will confusing. Some of the standout scenes include the Leprechaun conjuring an illusion of Bridget who wants her breasts kissed only for it to actually be lawnmower blades; the St Patrick's day Leprechaun's all drinking in a bar together who treat Warwick's Leprechaun as one of their own; the tree lair of the Leprechaun with it's magical tunnels; the consequences of locking a Leprechaun in a wrought iron safe and what happens to anyone who'll free him; and not forgetting the Leprechauns super charged customer painted drag racing/ go-kart!!!!Similarly to the first film the lead up the end of the film is an almighty battle between good and the Leprechaun. Will he survive this film? Will he win? Will somebody kill him with wrought iron or a 4 leafed clover? Will Bridget nullify the wedding? Will Cody ever get a break with his famous tour job? Can a gold covered chocolate coin be responsible for the downfall of evil folklore? Will he come back to be in a third film?? You'll have to read my review of "Leprechaun 3" to find out ;)

jeffreyhillen-364-945381 The return of the Leprechaun a good idea or should they not have done it ? The critics were extremely bad but the audience seem to like it very much. As the first one was acceptable en really funny, with an amazing performance of Warwick Davis, in the second one the whole plot changed. But Warwick came back and that was a very good thing because Warwick makes this series of films good and funny.For me , storyline wise, it seemed to make sense that they continued the story where they left of. But that wasn't the case. The storyline was again acceptable it wasn't very great a lot of things happened that didn't make sense. A Leprechaun only dies because of the flower, but clearly the filmmakers had some new ideas in mind about this. They were not true to the first film. It seemed so much like a remake. What the film than makes good is Warwick Davis. The jokes of the Leprechaun and his lines are amazing and brought on to screen fantastic! Warwick Davis does an ingenious job playing the Leprechaun and makes it believable.The acting of the remaining cast ( beside Warwick) was terrible. It was all so fake, it was like watching to a film who made a joke of the original Leprechaun film.I give this film a 5/10 Warwick was great and saved this movie from a disaster. Though it was great fun watching it again!

lost-in-limbo What am I doing watching this film? I disliked the first film, and I've seen "In Space" which was completely stupid. So far what I've seen, hasn't clicked. This first sequel is an improvement, but not by much. Mediocre at best, nothing flashy. This time there's some sort of narrative attached, if trivial and slight, but it bears no relation to the first film other than having Warwick Davis' fiendish leprechaun returning to cause havoc. Dead bodies begin piling up and the jokey humour looms large. It clearly plays for cheap laughs and jolts. This time it's set in the big smoke, where the centuries old leprechaun finds himself in Hollywood on St Patrick's Day to claim a bride who sneezes three times. This feature is playful, crude, risqué and mean-spirited, but moves at a welcoming pace. The make-up effects stand-up really well and the set designs, especially the hidden lair demonstrated some visual candy. In the title role Davis is having fun, spitting out those witty puns and it shows with him being truly being unrecognisable in costume. While the rest of the cast are acceptable, without making all that much of an impression. Although Shevonne Durkin sure was easy on the eyes. Still there are a lot of TV stars showing up in small/cameo parts. The eccentric set-pieces do standout more so than the story, but there is some creativity and twisted ideas around its daftness. Too bad I find it all to end on a whimper though, after a smart gag to outwit the leprechaun.
