 
A man named Daniel
O'Grady (Shay Duffin) and his wife who
returned to the USA from thinking that
they are filthy rich after stealing gold
coins from a vengeful Leprechaun (Warwick
Davis). However, the Leprachaun tagged
along in one of their suitcases as he
kills O'Grady's wife but then he is
locked away in a wooden box with a four
leaf clover to keep him there down in the
basement of O'Grady's home and then
O'Grady himself gets sick and is sent to
a hospital.
10 years later a man named J.D. Reding
(John Sanderford) and his spoiled
daughter Tony (Jennifer Aniston) move
into his home as its all dusted and
broken down.
While they try to get the house back in
shape with some painters, one of the
painters who is a meantally challenged
adult named Ozzie (Mark Holton) goes down
into the basement as he hears a childs
cry through the wooden box the Leprechaun
is trapped in. He wipes off the clover
and the Leprechaun escapes.
He runs to tell the others but they find
nothing and thinks he's using his
imagination.
Next Ozzie spots a rainbow as him and his
young friend Alex (Robert Gorman) finds
the end of it and then spots a bad of
gold coins belonging to the Leprechaun in
a broken down truck. Ozzie accindently
swallows one. They both decide to keep
the gold coins but this enrages the
Leprechaun and will kill to get all of
his coins which puts Ozzie in danger
after realising that Ozzie swallowed one
of his coins as he terrorises everyone
there.
This film was a
clever flick having an evil Leprechaun
putting curses on people and using his
deadly powers too as Mark Jones really
studied the Leprechauns background and
making a children's fairytale into
something deadly.
However the story doesn't pick up too
much making it more corny than
frightening almost cloning Freddy
Krueger.
Still it's fun to watch if you're in the
mood for it.
The acting is very
well performed by all the cast members.
I first spotted Warwick Davis in
the fantasy flick Willow
and he proves to be very versatile with
his acting talent at playing the
Leprechaun as he is witty and deadly too.
4 bats for his performance indeed.
We have a nice performance by comedy
actor Mark Holton as a mentally
challenged adult but he seems to perom a
goofy type character as he normally does
in comedies but still he does well. Shows
good expressions too.
There's a bloodied
hand that was bitten
A bitten leg and then slaughtered by a
pogo stick
An officers face is clawed and bloodied
The Leprechauns hjand is slammed off by a
door.
Then his eye is stabbed by a police
stick.
He melts into a crisp at the end
Mark Jones directs
the actors very well but he doesn't make
the story look too exciting.
However he directed Warwick
terrifically as a sneaky and nasty
Leprechaun with his blocking.
Towards close to the end of the film when
Warwicks character melts to a
crisp is well shot though.
Kevin Kiner and Robert
J. Walsh composed the music for this
film. Although they do well with it it's
not too memorable.
We also have a songtrack
when the film is about to start up with
the song "Four Leaf Clover"
Ozzie:
What are you?
Leprechaun: What do I look like,
me lad? See the hat? The buckles on me
shoes? Why, I'm a Leprechaun!
Leprechaun:
Where's ME gold?
Leprechaun:
[singing while bouncing a pogo stick
on a man's chest] This old Lep, he
played one. He played pogo on his lung.
Deputy
Tripet: Say, aren't we a little young
to be out this late?
Leprechaun: No, I'm 600 years old.
Ozzie:
I think someone broke into the house.
Alex: No shit, Sherlock.
Tory:
Nathan, that was no FUCKING bear.
Leprechaun:
Try as they will, and try as they might,
who steals me gold won't live through the
night.
Leprechaun:
Have you seen a crock of gold lyin'
around?
[Ozzie shakes his head]
Leprechaun: Tell me or I'll bite
your ear off, and I'll make a boot out of
it.
Ozzie:
Help. Help. It's happening. The attack is
on. O'Grady farm. Uh, send help. The
leprechaun is attacking. Army, navy,
guns, marines, and we're gunna need some
medicine.
Alex:
Fuck you, lucky charms!
Daniel
O'Grady: Burn in hell, you little
green bastard!
