Leprechaun 3: el duende maldito

This very broad and very gross horror comedy is a step up from the junk called "Leprechaun 2", but that's not saying very much. The script is nothing new (Lep yet again counts his coins, finds one missing, goes after whoever might be in possession of it), but it's certainly busy enough, with two or three parallel plotlines running simultaneously. Anyway, if you want to see the title character impersonating Elvis or giving people the finger, this may be your only chance. (**)

Leprechaun always faced that uphill battle of not being taken seriously, thing is they really aren't supposed to. These are comedy horrors and harmless ones at that.

Leprechaun 3 is noted as being Warwick Davis favourite and I can see why, it blows the others I've seen out of the water with it's fantastic humour and performances by the cast.

Our leading lady however retired straight after production, perhaps this isn't what she had in mind when she went into acting.

This third part see's our titular character venture to Las Vegas where one of his golden shillings is stolen. Cue the bloodshed & brilliant comedic quips.

Watching this almost helped me forget about the embarrassment that was the WWE's reboot of the franchise back in 2014 with Origins.

Harmless fun and the best one of the franchise that I've seen up until now.

The Good:

Humour is on point

Cast is great especially Davis

Looks solid

The Bad:

A bit silly in places

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Leprechauns need health insurance to

I really want to see a Leprechaun vs Chucky crossover now

This gets decent marks only for one reason: it's entertaining. Other than that, it has no redeeming value, is classless, has poor acting and even poorer dialog....but sure was fun to watch a couple of times.

The Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) has some very funny lines and rhymes and is the undisputed star of the show. There are a lot of special effects used for both comedy and for horror. This is the third of about four of these type of films, and the only one I thought worth keeping, mainly for the laughs. Eventually, the quality of the tape was so bad I canned it. Maybe I should check out the DVD, which was subsequently released.

Lee Armstrong provided the female lead role and she was a pretty woman but obviously not much of an actress and few people have heard of her before or since.

If you want something stupid but entertaining, a good mix of horror and comedy, this little dirty Leprechaun should fill the bill....but only this edition. Don't bother with the rest in the series.

"Leprechaun 3" is simultaneously better and worse than Lep 1 & 2. It pulls this off by have a terrible "Act One" (the first 45 minutes), but an entertaining "Act Two" (the last 45 minutes). I'm sorry, but with the exception of the Leprechaun character, Mark Jones cannot write convincing dialogue to save his life. I felt bad for actor John Gatins (playing Scott McCoy), who as the young college kid was saddled with some of the most unconvincing dialogue... well, ever. It was almost unwatchable, this "Act One". Then the story changes in "Act Two" with "Scott" getting infected with the Leprechaun's blood, and after that it's nothing but a good time.

One cool thing is that this time, Warwick Davis gets to speak nearly all of his dialogue in rhyme, and in "Act Two" he's downright funny at times. Davis really carries these films, without him they'd be unwatchable. With him, the Leprechaun has a destructive charm that's just fun to watch.

This is Definitely a Good Sequel Not as Good as The Original Movie But Still Good though I Do Admit That Leprechaun 3 is a Better Sequel then Leprechaun 2 though
