Leprechaun always faced that uphill battle of not being taken seriously, thing is they really aren't supposed to. These are comedy horrors and harmless ones at that.Leprechaun 3 is noted as being Warwick Davis favourite and I can see why, it blows the others I've seen out of the water with it's fantastic humour and performances by the cast.Our leading lady however retired straight after production, perhaps this isn't what she had in mind when she went into acting.This third part see's our titular character venture to Las Vegas where one of his golden shillings is stolen. Cue the bloodshed & brilliant comedic quips.Watching this almost helped me forget about the embarrassment that was the WWE's reboot of the franchise back in 2014 with Origins.Harmless fun and the best one of the franchise that I've seen up until now.The Good: Humour is on point Cast is great especially Davis Looks solid The Bad:A bit silly in places Things I Learnt From This Movie:Leprechauns need health insurance toI really want to see a Leprechaun vs Chucky crossover now

Leprechaun 3 is the best sequel and possibly the best film in the leprechaun franchise (But at the end of the day, its still a killer leprechaun)SPOILERS AHEAD!Leprechaun 3 was released in 1995 from Trimark Entertainment. Australian born genre director Brian Trenchard-Smith directed the film, Smith is known for his horror exploits in such films as Dead End Drive-In (1986) and Night of the Demons 2 (1989). The film stars Lee Armstrong (Fraggle Rock), John Gatins (Kong: Skull Island), Marcelo Tubert (Tremors 2: After Shocks), Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2), and of course that ever talented green-thumb, Warwick Davis (Willow) is the Leprechaun.Warwick Davis returns as the titular leprechaun in this the third installment of the leprechaun franchise. For such a small menace the leprechaun fills up the screen with witty dark humor and a genuine creepiness at certain points. Davis seems to gleam right through he makeup and shoot out at the audience. Without Warwick at the helm of the character, the leprechaun would be nothing but a re-hashing of a formula that doesn't always work ... Leprechaun: OriginsThe other actor within the film definitely fit in the film. The actors certainly bring a certain cheesy camp nature to the film and that is how this materiel should be treated. A film about a killer leprechaun on the loose for his lost gold, that's crazy. The film stars Lee Armstrong and John Gatins as the two leads. Though the film is silly their performances fit perfectly within the content. Gatins at one point in the film starts to turn into a leprechaun after being bitten by the little green bastard. The idea of a person turning into a leprechaun is absurd but given the nature of the materiel and the context of the film the acting on Gatins part lends a lovely, cheesy blend to all of those scenes. Next to Gatins we have Lee Armstrong, who plays the classic B-Film girl. Though i said she is the classic B-girl one thing she doesn't do the whole movie is scream. Thank god! No, she kicks leprechaun ass in the film. She is great and it is a true shame she didn't do more acting, who knows she could have become the next scream queen.The film also features wonderful makeup effects by underrated effects artist Gabe Bartalos. Bartalos is mostly known for his work for director Frank Henlotter and his films such as The Basket Case Trilogy and Brain Damage, and others. Bartalos has also worked on other well known films in the genre like Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Texas Chainsaw 2, and From Beyond. Among his work obviously is the leprechaun films. He has worked on and done the effects for all including the first film. His effects have certain creativity and fantasy element i love about them. The leprechaun makeup is beautifully crafted and the gore and shock effects are very well done. The Leprechaun film franchise has always been one of my favorites. I not the biggest fan of the later films, these being both of the In The Hoods and Origins, they suck! But i will admit the 3rd installment is my personal favorite. The film is full of dark comedy and wonderful gore. Warwick Davis's performance is wonderful and creepy. I love the film, its a great B-Horror film.Two-Green Thumbs Up!

Stopping at a Las Vegas casino, a hapless young man begins a winning streak after coming to possession with a leprechaun's magic coin that soon turns the other patrons of the casino against each other as the leprechaun continues his quest to find it.This one had some really enjoyable elements about it. One of the better elements here is the fact that it manages to go back to the original's method of including more suspenseful antics here along with the chase in the opening resurrection of the statue in the pawn shop where he begins to chase and stalk the owner of the shop around before the beating that comes to pass. This starts it off nicely, while the hospital confrontations are just as fun with the battle in the morgue really getting some rather enjoyable supernatural brawls that bring his powers to the forefront which is another strong point here. It really into the cheesy side of this one, but it does give this one somewhat of a fun time here by adding another strong supernatural force to this one that matches the leprechaun powers in order to make this a bit more of an even match that adds to the finale instead of it being so one- sided and forcing him to rely on trickery here instead of luck which is how they'd dealt with him in the past. Still, this one really makes the most here by strictly focusing on the cheesy atmosphere present as the fact that this one goes for the different wishes by each of those who come into contact with the coins which allows for the fun of trying to keep the two out his room as he has the coin they want leading to the contamination sequence in the room, the fantasy woman coming to life in the owner's suite being just a ploy against him, and the fates of the unscrupulous ones who take the coin for themselves being quite fun as really goofy, cheesy scene with the finale providing this one with some fine gore that was missing from the cheesy scenes elsewhere,these here give this one enough to like that it really gives this one a lot to really like against the few flaws here. Again, like the others in the series, this one does tend to focus more on cheese than being scary or frightening while also forging new rules for dealing with him that don't make much sense, so they're not as big a deal as the film's rather bland, lifeless first half here where it sets up the down-on-his-luck atmosphere too much and keeps the kills and leprechaun off-screen which drags the pacing off. These are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

Leprechaun 3 is a good installment.Our Leprechaun keeps up with the rhyme scheme, keeps up with the killing, and keeps up with the greed. He's essentially a different Leprechaun than the others, which avoids the picky plot points involved in continuity. We don't have to worry about whether or not Jason dies from the axe wound to his head; this is a different Leprechaun with different weaknesses. This keeps our perspective fresh.I found his setting in Las Vegas perfect. There's no better hive of modern pop culture for Leprechaun to make fun of than Sin City itself. I'm also glad we finally got to see some boobs. I look forward to more of the same stuff in later installments.
