Finally, we’re back to a classic franchise that has lost its ways numerous times, but still, he’s an all-time guy. That’s right, I’m talking about Leprechaun. Let’s enjoy Jennifer Aniston before she was some idiot at Central Perk making the nation dumber one Friends episode at a time.
First of all, if you’ve ever seen this movie, you’re probably shocked that there are actually 6 movies in the franchise as of this date with rumors of more coming soon. This got a 4.6. Aniston is a horny whoooore wanting the guy with the Kevin Bacon hair, the purple vest, and the wife-beater who hangs out with a kid and a mentally challenged dude named Ozzie. Reread that last sentence, let it sink in. How awful does that sound? Pretty fucking awful and cheesy right? Yeah, that’s this. Fortunately, Aniston is hot and has a sweet ass. These things help a man get through a movie of this caliber.
Start Film
So the beginning shows some dude named O’Grady who forced the Leprechaun to tell him where his gold is. This didn’t sit well with ole Leprechaun, so he killed his wife and then Mr. O’Grady. Then we fast forward to the present time with this cavalcade of misfit dolls.
You also need to know, although this definitely looks like an 80’s film, it was made in 93. Warwick Davis owns this role and makes it over the top and cheesy. He’s laughable no doubt. Tough to take him too seriously, but he does hurt some people.
I’ll tell you a horror cliche I rarely if ever get sick of, is somebody pumping the old shotgun. We’ve seen it dozens if not hundreds of times, but it gets me every time. It’s a definite feel-good moment.
Just to let you know, Leprechaun is causing all of this havoc because he wants his gold back. “Nobody takes a Leprechaun’s gold!” If you’re not watching this movie for cheesy one-liners, then I don’t really know why you’d ever watch this. There’s nothing scary about this aside from the fact that it has spawned so many hapless sequels. In all fairness, Leprechaun In Da Hood is really fantastic.
The Leprechaun is still one coin short. By now, they finally figured out where it is, poor Ozzie. Aniston is rocking the LA Gear sneakers, and Leprechaun is obsessed with shoes like I’m obsessed with pizza. Oh nice, a Lucky Charms reference. I love me some of that sweet, sweet LC.
End Film
And like that, it is over, and I’m sad. It’s not good, but it’s very fun. This is the exact type of movie you want on when you have friends over and you’re playing cards or something. I can’t help but love it. I shouldn’t, I know it’s bad, but I still love it.
Rating: -6.5 – And I know that is generous. Do I recommend it though? Hell yeah!!!! If you haven’t seen it, do so. You won’t be angry with me if you have a sense of humor.
