Leprechaun Movies
Leprechaun films are very frightening! I pictured this little fellow in green pants and gold shoe buckles as a bit mischievous; but upon researching the films about them, I found out they are horrible brats!
"Leprechaun" (1993) Directed by: Mark Jones Starring: Warwick Davis, Ken Olandt, Mark Holton, Jennifer Aniston
This was the first movie I checked out on my Leprechaun adventure. I was surprised to see Jennifer Aniston in the film! She did an excellent job making her debut in this film. This was before the famous "Friends" TV show.
Warwick Davis steals the show as the Leprechaun! What a convincing leprechaun! Warwick himself regretted playing the part until there were 5 sequels - now he loves being a Leprechaun. This surprise independent movie became a hit with its own following. This is a fun movie to start your Leprechaun hunt with! I think rated PG-13.
"Leprechaun 2" (1994) Director: Rodman Fiender Starring: Charlie Heath, Warwick Davis, Shevonne Durkin, Sandy Baron
A thousand years this leprechaun (Warwick Davis) has been looking for a bride.
On his one thousandth birthday, an evil leprechaun selects the descendant of his slaves to have as his bride, leaving it up to the girls' boyfriend to save her. The story takes us to LA and a horror tour on a bus with tourists. Gets interesting! Scary adventure as the tour guide gets involved with the Leprechaun!
"Leprechaun 3" (1995) Directed by: Brian Trenchard Smith Starring: Warwick Davis, John Gatins, Lee Armstrong, John Demitta, Michael Callian, Caroline Williams
He's back! This time in Las Vegas! The terror beings in a pawn shop. A young college student is on his way to Los Angeles when he stops in Vegas to check it out. (You should never stop in Vegas on the way to somewhere else....lol)
Here he accidentally gets involved with a magician, a beautiful girl and a Leprechaun. Fast moving story about a Leprechaun adventure in Las Vegas. The actors pull this wild story off for us.
"Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997) Director: Brian Trenchard-Smith Starring: Brent Jasmer, Warwick Davis, Debra Dunning, Jessica Collins, Guy Siner
The Leprechaun is in space to woo a beautiful princess who is impressed with his gold and wants to get it from him. He is never referred to as a leprechaun but is referred to as an "alien", "monster", "bastard" or some combination thereof.
"Leprechaun 5: In the Hood" (2000) Starring: Warwick Davis, Ice T, A.T. Montgomery Directed by: Rob Spera
When aspiring hip-hop performers Butch (Red Grant), Postmaster P(A.T. Montgomery) and Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nail) cross record Producer Mack Daddy (Ice-T) their grudge against him leads to their own peril. After they break into Mack daddy's home and swipe an ancient medallion from a grotesque statue. Grant Postmaster P. and Stray Bullet try to get a demo made for the Las Vegas contest, they end up on a magical journey with IceT and a Leprechaun and his secrets. I have to give this movie kudos for not being lazy and doing a great job on this story. Never a dull moment or a lack of creativity! Too funny. I give it thumbs up. Warwick says this is favorite of the series.
"Leprechaun: Back 2 The Hood" (1994) Directed by: Steven Ayromlooi
Starring: Tangi Miller, Warwick Davis, Laz Honso
He is back in the hood and seeking revenge. when a group of friends discover his treasure, they soon find out they've unleashed a can of demon and don't listen to the advice of a wise psychic. I have not watched this one yet!
"Leprechaun Origins" (2014) Directed by:
Starring: Dylan Hornswoggale Postl as the Leprechaun, Stephanie Bennett, Andrew Dunbar, Melissa Roxburgh, Brendan Fletcher, Gary Chalk
Backpacking through Ireland, two unsuspecting young couples discover a town's chilling secret when resident's offer them a ride to start a hike. This was one of my favorites of the Leprechaun films; however, I did miss Warwick Davis not being the Leprechaun. An adult horror mystery that kept my attention and was a thriller! Good writing, good camera work, good acting -- thumbs up from me -- kept me on the edge of my seat!
