One of the discarded drafts focused on how the leprechaun would seek revenge on Tory Redding, tricking her into marrying him. Jennifer Aniston was offered $ 25,000 but she refused to reprise her character because she was focused on her TV series, Friends (1994).
Only Leprechaun film to take place on St. Patrick's Day.
The German VHS copy of Fatal Past, includes a rare trailer of Leprechaun 2 that shows scenes that weren't in the final film, including a scene where Bridget is smiling and looking at Ian and telling him she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to make a mistake. another shot at the race track where the Leprechaun uses his magic to let Bridget win a race she was losing, and scenes with Ian and Cody drinking at the bar instead of Morty, another character taking Bridget home and being shoved aside as he tries to kiss her with the Leprechaun watching angry from a tree.
The "one of us" chant which the little people sing while at the bar is a tribute to a similar scene from Tod Browning's 1932 Freaks - Missgestaltete (1932).
Reportedly, Shevonne Durkin used a body double for her topless scene.
