O Duende Assassino

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 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

Leprechaun 3 was the best film in the 6 part series. In this one, the lep is in Las Vegas creating trouble. Several people die like in the other films, but even an evil and greedy leprechaun knows better than to disrespect Elvis in Sin City-he briefly bonds with an Elvis impersonator without causing him any harm.

The lep also has some good lines, and this one even features a naïve college student (Scott) who gets bit by the lep and starts to turn into one of the green monsters. Fortunately, the naïve college student and his sexy female companion (Tammy-working as magician's assistant to a wannabe magician (Fazio) who gets sawed in half by the lep)defeat the little evil green guy. Scott even manages to avoid becoming a little evil green midget at the end of the film.

My favorite death scenes are the one where the an older woman jealous of Tammy's good looks finds one of the lep's coin, and wishes she was beautiful again. The lep makes her boobs, lips, and butt big and then proceeds to blow her up. The other good death scene is where the dirty old man casino owner gets seduced by a sexy female robot with big boobs, and then gets electrocuted by the lep.

The lep also manages to ruin Fazio's magic trick by turning an animal into a pile of poop in his hand-that was also very funny.

If you have limited time and want to check out this series, recommend watching this one as the 1st film to view.

Brian Trenchard Smith 'gets' it: those who settle down for a third instalment of the Leprechaun series aren't expecting a groundbreaking work of art… they simply want another undemanding dose of tongue-in-cheek horror, with Warwick Davis hobbling around spouting appalling rhymes, and a spot of really hokey gore. And that's exactly what Trenchard-Smith delivers with Leprechaun 3, along with some T&A for good measure.

This chapter sees the malevolent titular character causing trouble in Las Vegas, killing those unfortunate enough to find themselves in possession of one of his gold shillings. Meanwhile, college student Scott McCoy, bitten on the arm by the mischievous imp, is slowly transforming into a leprechaun himself. With help from beautiful magician's assistant Tammy (Lee Armstrong), can Scott defeat the evil Oirish fellow and thus return to normal?

Highlights from Leprechaun 3 include Indian pawn shop owner Gupta (Marcelo Tubert) having his ear and toe bitten off, Caroline Williams (Stretch from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) exploding, magician Fazio being sawn in half with a chainsaw (John DeMita), casino owner Mitch (Michael Callan) electrocuted by a topless female cyborg, and virtually any scene featuring the lovely Lee Armstrong, since she spends the majority of the film in corset and stockings.

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. (**)
