O Duende Assassino

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 is about Leprechaun in las Vegas the main characters is not that good but almost every character is great.

The acting isn't that good but don't expect anything great going in to this movie.

It's a shot on video movie and it's the first Leprechaun one to be shot on video of the whole franchise.

Some of the best kills of the franchise and has much more violence than the first two Warwick Davis is awsome as Leprechaun as always wish he was in the last one, but i like Linden Porco as Leprechaun in it.

Overall a great leprechaun movie and i highly recommend watching it just don't take it to seriously and you will probably have a great time!

Leprechaun is another one of those horror franchises that goes on and on, sequel after sequel, new cast and crew every time, all that jazz, but unlike its fellow horror franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Leprechaun doesn't even try to be good. They're all unconscionably dumb. Self-aware, but dumb. There isn't even a thread of a narrative to connect the movies other than there's an evil leprechaun who speaks in ridiculous rhymes and needs his gold and will kill anyone in his way to get it. But for any fan of camp, Leprechaun may be the horror franchise for you. And I'm using horror in the absolute loosest sense of the word because I got more shivers down my spine watching Jack and Jill than I did during any of these movies. What puts it in the horror category is simply the fact that it's an evil entity that likes to kill people, and there's bountiful gore and T&A.

Having said all that, Leprechaun 3 is probably the best in the series. There's something oddly fitting about the Leprechaun running around Vegas using real magic to fool gamblers and phony magicians, which makes for some entertaining developments. The cast is passable. Discussing the acting in a Leprechaun movie is as fruitful as analyzing the intricacies between Adam Sandler's Jack and Adam Sandler's Jill (I don't know why Jack and Jill is my go-to comparison but sure, why not). But overall, it's passable; a huge improvement over Leprechaun 2's acting which was just infuriating to watch. The movie actually has a plot, too! One of the Leprechaun's gold coins falls into the wrong hands and goes from person to person in a casino, granting the holder whatever they wish for. Again, story-wise this is by far the most practical of the Leprechaun movies.

What prevents this from being a great movie is the fact that it's vehemently stupid. I know that's the point, but there were moments where Leprechaun 3 felt like a legitimately decent movie. I enjoyed where the plot was going, the Leprechaun was throwing some classic one-liners, the deaths were highly amusing, but then it would shift gears and focus on a particular character or subplot that no one cares about and it would kill its momentum. If the whole movie focused on the main narrative of the coin going 'round and 'round the casino and the Leprechaun having to go through hurdles to find it and kill every poor sap in his path, it would've been a good movie. But they throw in crap like the Leprechaun now has werewolf powers so if he bites someone, they'll also turn into a leprechaun. Also before the Leprechaun actually gets to the casino, the movie is really boring. It's like ten minutes of the Leprechaun antagonizing some random store owner and spitting out stupid dialogue for the sake of spitting out stupid dialogue with no advancement to the plot.

Truthfully, I enjoyed this movie. A lot more than I thought I would actually. The first Leprechaun was decent, just barely, because Jennifer Aniston was great eye-candy. The second one was an abomination even by camp horror standards. This is one of those instances where the third time really is a charm. I mean, it's not much of a charm, but it accomplishes what it sets out to. It's amusing, it's ridiculous, basically the quintessential stoner horror movie, and it reaches the potential that its predecessors missed. Now, is it a good movie? Get the f*ck out of here. You know it's not. But is it a fun watch? Sure it is, especially if you're under the influence of a foreign substance. Even then, as far as campy horror movies go, you could do a lot worse than Leprechaun 3. You could do a lot better, too.

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.

"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.
