I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Struggling to make ends meet, a woman and her friends stumble upon the leprechaun's pot of gold and use it to improve their lives only to incur the wrath of the leprechaun who tears apart the hood trying to find the missing gold.This was a far better sequel than expected. One of the major improvements over the preceding efforts is how comfortable and easy- going this one is with the urban setting for a franchise story, as there's little here that feels at odds with the rest of the franchise. Dropping the hip-hop flavored story here for a more universal story about their poor environment and struggling to survive day-to-day in that environment, coming across the gold and it's sudden wealth that offers them an escape only for the leprechaun to exact revenge makes for a much more cohesive fit into the other entries while using that urban setting here to help sell the poverty and desperation in a slightly-different-yet-still- familiar angle. That here really helps the rest of the action as the leprechaun fits into the story better and causes the encounters to stand out a little more. The opening in the under-construction complex gets this off to a fine start, the party scenes of the leprechaun maneuvering through the different groups and enjoying himself in their company quite nicely and the big scenes of him going through the periphery characters of the story here all give this one some really enjoyable scenes. That's not to take into account the film's rather fun highlights offerings here with the creature's appearance at her home where it stalks her through the house and finally into the bathroom which is a thrilling sequence, his later confrontation in her friends' house over the gold is a really exciting series of stalking scenes with brawling and the encounter along the aqueduct where he deals with the cops to get to them and the resulting encounter with the thugs which is another fun action-packed encounter taking out the thugs waiting for them all being really enjoyable and exciting. This one also manages to get in some really great fun overall here with the finale as the action picks up considerably as there's numerous full-on confrontations in the apartment out onto the roof where they get into the first extended battle that leads nicely into the rather thrilling encounter down in the boiler room that initially settles into the big shock-finish that showcases a spectacular false death with the grand finale afterwards really making this one feature such a rousing and energetic finale which really goes nicely for the film's overall action quotient. As all these encounters provide the film with plenty of graphic, gory kills as this one features a huge body count more than the other entries, these here all manage to make for a really fun time that holds off the lone flaws here. Though this one manages more than the others to really get the indestructible nature of the leprechaun, it does so by forsaking the very things that made him a unique villain as there's no tricks, no wishes or anything remotely supernatural about him, much like the previous entry. This one only makes us aware that he's a leprechaun through size and failure to die as every other time here it doesn't really do much to counter that. The cheesiness is something that might bother some, but these are the film's issues.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and lots of drug use and references.

Why ?! I can ask it too many times to the film studios but why did even make a 6th one ? And also one who is almost a copy of the previous one. I would have understand that decision if the 5th one was a success, but it was terrible. And this one was, if possible, more terrible than the last one.What can you further about the last part of this terrible franchise. The storyline was again a huge fail. The leprechaun has a few moment and is defeated again so easily, they can blow him of the roof without having any difficulties with killing it.The acting was to laugh about as well so I rate this film 1/10

Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003) * (out of 4) Sixth and so far final entry in the horrid series has a group of friends in the ghetto finding some gold, which they start having fun with even though they've been warned by a psychic that only evil can follow. Soon enough our beloved leprechaun (Warwick Davis) shows up for revenge. Even though the lep has headed back to the hood, this film has no connection to the previous one but it's doubtful too many people will actually care about that. If you're a fan of the series then I guess that means you'll enjoy this entry but now having seen all six movies I must say that there's no doubt that this is the worst series in horror film history. This one here, much like the previous, takes more of a comedy approach as our green man finds himself in a wide range of unoriginal situations. Of course we get a sequence where the lep is smoking from a bong and this is followed with a scene of him raiding the kitchen to get something to eat. Other silly sequences include him going up against countless gang members and we even get a scene where he has to go up against a couple crooked LAPD guys. I will admit that the scene with the police was rather funny but this is one of the few things that actually works here. The entire screenplay is just one cliché after another and there's not a single ounce of suspense to be found. Some might say the point of the movie was to make you laugh, which is fair enough but even on this level the film is bad because the majority of the laughs just miss their mark. The one good thing I can say about the film is that Davis appears to have a lot more energy than the previous movie. I thought that energy helped keep a little life in the film but not enough to make it work. The supporting performers range from bad to fair but the screenplay makes their characters so uninteresting and bland that you can't help but not give a crap about them. LEPRECHAUN: BACK 2 THA HOOD marked the final film in the series and I must admit that I'm very thankful.

this actually shows on BET! Why because the title makes it sound gangster-ish? It is about a WHITE man killing the blacks. this is a disgrace to black people. The only people who watch this movie are probably high, or they are people who stand up in movie theatres and say "OH NO HE DID'NT!" while pointing to the screen. Usually during a SHOWING OF "WHO'S YOUR CADDY"! boycott this movie. it puts forth the idea that blacks get killed by a little white man, and are completely defenseless. The blacks could have thrown a vase at him, and then ran him over, then shot him, and then ate him. No...they get slaughtered like pigs. And whats worse! The one black doesn't want to give up his gold to the leper, so the little white guy kills him with his bong. WTF! First of all, this also puts forth the idea that black people are greedy for bling, or gold or w/e. also, how can someone be killed with a bong?
