I love this movie so much
... View MoreDisappointment for a huge fan!
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

View MoreI really loved this one ( though the 3rd is my most favorite ) , warrick davis still did a wonderful job like always :)I love how much magic lep used and his funny great rhyming ,The cast did really good but I didn't watch for them , truly it was boring when that loveable lep wasn't in it And I simply love the ending :) plus leps song " Lep in the Hood " was just so great :)
... View MoreThis is another entry in this idiotic series about a mass murderer leprechaun. I didn't see all the movies in order and I don't care at all. There actually was a time where it looked like there might be a good scene or two. This entry features a trio of rappers finding a magic flute belonging to the leprechaun that somehow hypnotizes people into liking their singing. It's as stupid as it sounds. The leprechaun dies in nearly every movie but always comes back with no explanation.I guess it might not be the same leprechaun in every movie, but they certainly look, sound and act the exact same. This leprechaun actually holds a record for most kills by a slasher movie villain that talks. I'm serious, he has actually killed more people than Freddy Krueger! He has 45 kills while Freddy has 42. For some reason just like "Bride Of Chucky" they make a joke about an "X for Dummies" book. Why was this a thing at that time?In the other movies, we at least got to see the leprechaun die and lose. In the end of this one, he actually gets what he wants! Evil wins in this movie and that abomination gets away with gruesomely murdering massive amounts of people. This is just a horrible depressing film even dumber than the other entries. The least awful scene is one where a rapper is forced by the leprechaun to kill himself! *
... View MoreLeprechaun in the HoodThe good thing about being a little person in the ghetto is that the bullets from the drive-bys go right over your head.Mind you, the small person in this horror-comedy also has magic to protect him.Imprisoned by a record producer (Ice-T), a malevolent leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is released by unsuspecting rap-artists: Postmaster P. (Anthony Montgomery), Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nall), and Butch (Red Grant).Determined to take back his enchanted flute that emits hypnotic notes, the Leprechaun takes South Central by storm.Now it's up to the wannabe MCs to trick the trickster into smoking a clover-laced joint so they can steal the flute back again.This fifth installment in the b-horror franchise is a cheesy send-up of the gangster genre. Its only redeeming value can be found in its gory camp and Leprechaun rap. And, who knows, maybe now all the O.G.'s will start wearing buckled high tops.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
... View MoreLeprechaun in the Hood (2000)* (out of 4) Another awful entry in an all-around awful series. This time out a pimp (Ice-T) steals the gold from the leprechaun (Warwick Davis) and manages to get the medallion around his neck turning him to stone. Flash-forward a couple decades an a rap trio decide to break into the pimp's home and steal some cash but end up taking the medallion and freeing the leprechaun. The only joke about LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD is the title itself. I'm sure this silly title was a hit among video renters and I'm sure this thing sold or rented millions of copies. I mean, we did eventually get a sequel to this thing. This fifth film in the series pretty much puts the horror elements on the back burner and instead we have the leprechaun getting into all sorts of situations. Now I'm sure there will be someone out there who witnesses these situations as nothing more than racial stereotypes but if you're taking a movie called LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD seriously then you have many more problems than could be dealt with in this movie. The entire joke is that the leprechaun finds himself in the hood and sadly there's just nothing funny about it. You know having the lep and Ice-T in the same movie that at some point the two would have to smoke some weed. When this scene happens it's just silly and certainly not funny. Other scenes has a Korean store owner who of course tries to rap. Another sequence has a cross-dressing hooker trying to pick up the lep. We even have an entire subplot dealing with the three rappers trying to get their business done so that they can appear at a rap contest in Las Vegas. What's so annoying about that is that us poor viewers have to sit through some of the worst rap songs I've ever heard. They're corny, poorly written and are just so annoying that you can't help but want to hit the fast forward button. The entire movie could have been exploitation gold but instead we just get a cheap mess of a film that has no scares or laughs. The movie isn't nearly as over-the-top as one would hope and what gore you do get just looks rather silly. The previous four films were pretty bad but at least Davis gave it his all and usually delivered a memorable performance. Even that's not the case here because he too just seems bored with the material.
