Leprechaun in the Hood Trailers

When Butch, Postmaster P, and Stray Bullet loot the local hip-hop mogul's studio to fund their demo album, the threesome unwittingly ends up with the secret of Mack Daddy's success: a magical flute. Their gigs instantly turn golden but a blood-thristy Leprechaun and an angry Mack Daddy are hot on their trail, leaving a wake of destruction tainted by politically incorrect limericks.

Don't need to write a review on this...my title says it all. part one of this franchise was somewhat OK but this, this is just total stupid sh*t.I would be ashamed to have ever starred in this or even produced it.....awful awful sh*t. I would expect more of ice-t but I guess like the writers and the rest of the cast, he too, was stupid, at least on this....i see he came a long way on Law and Order where as the rest of the cast on here faded away like a bad odor coming from a week old turd. don't be like me and waste your time with this pile of crap. I did only because there was nothing on TV and i was bored but now regret it....deeply.

Hoping to break into the music business, a rap group inadvertently steals a magical flute from a mischievous leprechaun, reviving him in the process who sets out on a rampage to get it back and forcing them to stop him.This one here wasn't that bad and had enough going for it to be entertaining. One of the better feature here comes from the absolutely cheesy and somewhat ridiculous storyline in here that really makes no sense why this plays out as it does. Transposing an Irish leprechaun into an urban, predominantly African-American neighborhood makes so little sense on the surface of it that there's a sense of cheesy giddiness at watching this go through the community which takes this one to a wholly different level than the other entries in the series. There's even more to like here with the film's few action set-pieces throughout here which gives this a nice mixture of cheesy action and great thrilling moments for a really enjoyable time here. The opening release of the creature down in the subway room as he kills his assistant before turning to him and gets stopped through circumstance gets this off to a fine start, the actual robbery here comes off in a fine matter with the resulting gunfight to get away being rather thrilling and the encounter in the church where they all stumble across each other and each group fights it out with each other in order to get away, all resulting in in some rather fun and engaging action here that manages to fall in line nicely with the rest of the franchise's action. Along with the nice blood and gore in the kills, these here are enough to make this one enjoyable enough to hold out over the few flaws. The film's biggest issue is the fact that there's a lot of time spent on integrating the leprechaun into this particular environment by overloading the rap genre in here to the point of getting irritating with all the different segments here that features show-stopping moments to get them performed. The incessant gangster talk and rap battles that constantly feature continuous allusions to that lifestyle which eats up so much time here that there's almost no screen-time for the leprechaun's antics. He hardly ever tricks people in what he does, appears more as a straightforward killer with supernatural powers and doesn't really do much here to suggest he was integral to the film when any supernatural avenger would've been inserted into the film without any difficulty. This here is the main issue with this one as there's some problems the film can't really recover from. Despite the few positives in here being quite good.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and continuous drug use.

Have you seen what human beings do to each other, I mean man, whats the point? Yeah I've been intoxicated and seen this movie more than once. I've passionately defended this movie and fantasized about making a Leprechaun western. We make choices and we live with them. Do you want to know the plot of this movie? The plot is humans dream, and those dreams fuel us to struggle for unattainable goals, goals that ultimately destroy us. We mark our achievements with meaningless baubles and then suffer from the hollowness of these baubles. Does the Leprechaun smoke pot? Yes. Is there nudity? I don't remember but probably. There are good scenes in this movie but they appear in spite of producers wishes, y'know like no one can entirely screw up a movie, some particle always shines. I mean at some point some one has to ask why expend the effort and money to make these movies, yes Warwick Davis gets something out of this as short actors are desperate for work, Hollywood has a bias, but what do you and I get out of it? Entertainment is a nice way of saying utter pointlessness.
