Leprechaun 5: In the Hood

The Leprechaun movies were never that good and were always lame, but, sweet Jesus, this is a new low, even worse than Leprechaun 4: In Space. They basically thought of a funny title, threw Warwick Davis in the makeup and then stumbled along until they had shot 90 minutes worth of material, they they threw it on video, hoping that the title would get stoners or lovers of bad movies to rent it. It tries so hard to be funny, and there's almost nothing worse than a movie that thinks it's funny when it isn't. It's pretty bad when you see a movie and think to yourself, "Man, Ice T deserves better than this." Coolio, who makes a cameo, deserves better, too.

Although not quite as good as "Leprechaun II", "Leprechaun 5: In The Hood" does an admirable job at capturing the essence of the humorous evil that only the Leprechaun can deliver. He's still just as mean, and twice as violent! I would rate this on a par with #3, where he goes to Las Vegas. Seeing him as a rap artist battling Ice - T is almost too much fun for one movie.

I saw this for the first tiime few months back while on a marathon of the series. This film again takes place in Los Angeles and once again our leprechaun is turned into a statue with a magical medallion around its neck. How it got there n how it got captured is again not explained. Forget that, let's move to the crucial aspects, which is gore n humor. None of the kills r memorable n it has zero tits inspite of some cool babes. And the most important aspect, humor is missing. I don't consider cross dressing funny. The kills- A guy gets stabbed by a plastic hair comb, a man's finger gets impaled, a lousy electrocution scene, a hole blown thru stomach without any weapon, man gets pierced by leprechaun's bare hands. Since our leprechaun is in the hip hop area, he gets to smoke weed n do some rap dance this time.

Finally, Ice-T fans and Irishmen alike are united for this straight-to-video masterpiece. Warwick Davis takes his character to a new level in this one, introducing him to chronic, afros, and cross-dressing hookers. Although the acting, directing, and special effects may have been a little below par, it's still a wonderful piece of entertainment. The Leprechaun pulls off his greatest one-liners in this one, and even has a rap sequence at the end. So if you're in the mood for a good laugh and have been wanting to see a midget with a gat, rent Leprechaun 5 and enjoy!

a leprechaun in the hood. a rapper named postmaster p. a baseball bat to the afro. is it destined to become a cult classic? will there be midnight showings? one can only hope. i never thought i'd see a black drag queen have sex with a leprechaun. for that reason alone you should have that movie on your vcr or dvd player RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, this is the funniest movie I have ever seen. True, judging by the name alone you can tell it has to be pretty funny. If you haven't lost it by the end of the prologue, you have no sense of humor at all. I mean, the whole scene (not just the concealed items in the fro part) is very comically well done! The movie alone beats anything Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, or Chris Rock have ever done. This is the comedy that beats all comedies. It--- Huh? It's supposed to be a horror flick? Huh. You learn something new every day. Well, it's funny, and a fun way to spend a Friday Night with friends who do not take everything seriously.

10 reasons you must see this film. 1. You get to see a leprechaun rap. 2. this film contains zombie ho's 3. the actors take themselves seriously 4. Every now and then every one decides to start rapping. 5. every other word is mother * 6. It works on the level of a 'gansta' drama....then you realise there 'homie' was killed by a leprechaun rather than in a drive by. 7. that leprechaun got some major gold. 8. the leprechaun has sex.....with a transvestite. 9. they defeat him by having him smoke a four leaf clover. 10. I like waffles. If you don't want to see it now then you must be crazy. Its the best movie i ever brought from behind the shelve at a garage.
