Leprechaun in the Hood

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.

Dont waste your time its even worse than the space one thought it would be so bad its good but it sont event work on that level . Havent seen 6 n after this one dont want too. A complete waste of time. Worse of seriers.

The moment Ice-T stepped into the frame sporting flares, platform shoes and a huge afro, I had a strong feeling I was going to really enjoy Leprechaun in the Hood. And I was right!

The fifth entry in the series proves to be an extremely fun, and knowingly daft movie, packed with camp humour and irresistible silliness from start to finish. Warwick Davis once again returns as the murderous, magic, Oirish fellow, this time causing all manner of trouble for a trio of young rappers when they steal his horde of gold to pay for some audio equipment.

With such unforgettable visual treats as Davis' character puffing weed, Lep hanging with a group of hot, zombie ho's, a death by afro-comb, a cross-dressing homie meeting a bloody end, an utterly pointless guest appearance by Coolio, and even a rap song from the little green fellow himself, it's hard not to have a good time with this film.

Don't believe the negative comments here on IMDb; some people are just naturally unable to have a good time! Besides, if the idea of a three foot tall killer leprechaun toking on a joint and getting nasty with his bitches tickles your funny bone, I say trust your instincts.

Having watched this movie I have to ask myself; What was the director's state of mind? Why did he feel the need to constantly place his main characters in the company of drag queens and even dress them up as such. I mean when I don't have a place to stay the home of the local drag queen isn't on the top of my list. Not since "To Wong FU thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar have I seen so many men sporting control top panty hoes. However this movie is not with out a bright side. Aside from such lovable and memorable characters like "Mack Daddy" and "Local Drag Queen" this movie also contains such memorable scenes as Leprechaun trying to get hand job from young boy in drag. Lets not forget the scene where Leprechaun attempts to have sex with what he at least thinks is a woman(but we all can guess what that means by now). So in closing if you have a fetish for Irish midgets or Drag Queens this move well definatly float your boat.

This is the line that is uttered in the chorus that this pint sized demon leprechaun sings at the end of the movie. I first seen a portion of this movie on October 31, 2000 and it was okay. It wasn't until 2 and 1/3 years later that I ended up seeing the whole thing so I had a better judgement. This movie was okay. I would give it a C+ Some things I had a problem with while watching this movie. For one, if most people would agree, it was too comedic. If this is a horror movie then keep it strictly scary!! This is the same thing that happened to Freddy Krueger. He started out as a dark force, something to be scared of, but by the fourth installment he became a Martin Lawrence for wisecracking boogeymen. Another thing, how are they going to have the preacher cursing? That's when you know that the film really started to get silly. The leprechaun looks like a little pimp instead of this entity of terror. I notice while looking at what genre they listed this movie as, they listed it as "action," "horror," "comedy," and "thriller." This movie does not fit the three of them except for comedy which it is. It has so much comedic elements in it. This movie wasn't bad at all. It was okay. It was much better than Leprechaun in Space. Now that was stupid! Rent Leprechaun in the Hood and watch it on a weekend when you don't feel like going out. It's so funny.
