Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003)

I love how warrick davis plays that evil lep againBut I admit this one isn't my favorite at all ( even the space one is better to me ) I love how lep gets a new look and shows how much stronger he is , but it's sad he doesn't rhyme At all and he doesn't show any magic Even though lep is much stronger in this one and can take some serious beatings ( shot , ran over , burned alive ) he still felt weaker to me in this one cause all he really did was get beat up by everyoneThere is a little bit of humor that makes it worth watching again cause I did enjoy seeing how strong he is , plus I just love that evil little lepBut I truly didn't care about the characters , truly they bored me and it only got good when Davis showed up And the ending was sadly really weak and that's a real shame But I love warrick davis as lep and I'd watch it again only to bye pass everything till lep comes into it , The best part of the movie was When the lep did show up and his great new look , I also loved when lep got high ( best part ever )So to me it's not the best lep movie at all but cause of some funny parts and the fact it's davis it's worth watching again

Warwick Davis goes back to the LA "Hood" and it's about what you'd expect. As with the previous films, the production value is below average, the story and characters are underdeveloped, and most of the picture relies on Davis' evil grin and diminutive figure wreaking havoc to carry he film. But watching the creepy little leprechaun take out gang members, racist cops, and pretty much anyone who gets in his way actually goes a long way. "Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood" was the sixth and final appearance by Davis and the leprechaun. I'm not sure the series was going to be able to sustain itself much longer, but I will have to admit that Davis inserting himself in a seemingly unconnected genre is pretty darn entertaining, much the same way he did when he went into space (essentially becoming the xenomorph from "Alien"). Who knows, maybe the series could have gone on to further installments by taking the leprechaun into other seemingly unrelated genres (Romantic comedy? Buddy cop film? Post apocalyptic? etc.). But if they insist on another urban drama for a seventh installment, how about placing the leprechaun into a movie where he's the newest teacher at a tough inner city high school? Sadly, this was the last entry in the Leprechaun series to feature Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun before WWE decided to reboot the series with an ill-conceived notion that trying to make a serious scary leprechaun film was a good idea.

Well this one does pick up where the first one left off. this one is campy, very funny, got lots of wanna be gangsters,, the lep firing off guns,, lot's of funny moments,, for instance when the Leprechaun steals a cop car and he says,, aww hell,, he looks down realizes he can't reach the gas pedal,, and when he tries to get a date with one of the brother's friends,, he describes himself to the girl on the phone,, the she asks him for his height,, he says 3 ft. 6 , she hangs up..the storyline has to do with a fortune teller who tells the black youths not to give in to the wealth of all the gold that they find,, but of course these teens are dumb, stupid they don't listen, and get caught up in the Leprechauns' schemes once again,, this one i would say is more on the funny side,, not to be taken seriously by anyone really.

This sequel is so much better than the others, for starters its much darker and the Leprechaun's costume is also much better in this movie. Gone are the stripy socks and bright red pants, instead we have a more 19th century dark, creepy looking Leprechaun. The humour is still there in this film, except that its not cringeworthy like it was in earlier outings and is actually funny. There are very few hokey special effects and the storyline is played out well. They have also brought back the four leaf clover to kill a leprechaun mythology from the first film. Will it win an Oscar? No, but it sure makes up for the last few sequels which completely ignored the fact its supposed to be in the horror genre and instead tried to be too much of a comedy. All the Leprechaun films are fun in their own way, but this one is far less hokey - there's hope for the series yet!
