Summary: The world can be so cruel!
Review: At first, this movie would receive 3 stars from me. I really enjoyed this one but I am forced to take away 2 stars because of the fact that the Leprechaun doesn't rhyme! Now, I am adding an additional star after reading the bad reviews of this movie. TRULY IGNORANT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THIS FILM! Those who call this the worst in the series have obviously forgotten Leprechaun 4; if you've seen it you know what I mean. Now, who can really take any of the movies on a serious level? They are all somewhat cheasy and poorly put together. The Leprechaun is just a great character; which is why the series has lasted so long!
Leprechaun dawns a new costume that looks wicked! You actually get to see what he looks like when his hat falls off and this is the first one to actually show his feet. It is true that Leprchaun gets hit a lot and doesnt use his telekinetic powers so much. WHO CARES!! The telekinesis was cheasy anyways!! Leprechaun is much more menacing in this picture. He has long fingernails and is much stronger than in the previous pictures. Watch him slash and stab his way all through the hood. Warwick Davis' Leprechaun is also very acrobatic in this film full of stunts and action packed fighting. And by the way, PROPS TO WARWICH FOR CONTINUING TO PLAY THIS BELOVED CHARACTER! No way any Leprechaun film could make it if the character is played by anyone else but Warwick.
The film does focus on the human characters a lot. Hmmm....wonder why? Could it be because the story is about THEIR struggle with the Leprechaun? The Leprechaun is in basically every scene after the basic plot starts up (about the first 20 min. of the film). I will admit that this does have a weak ending, very weak indeed. Oh well, what did you expect? IT'S A LEPRECHAUN MOVIE! The killing scenes are nothing overly cinematic but they do the trick. Still brutal as ever. Keep in mind that this whole movie was filmed in 3 weeks by a first time director. The film also gives a detailed and itriguing history on how the Leprechaun came to be!
GOOD POINTS:
Funny scenes: i.e. Leprechaun hitting bong, stumbling around stoned, hitting on woman over cell phone
New to the series: New wicked costume, stronger and fiercer Leprechaun, Expands on Leprechaun story
Acting: Good
Action: Plenty
BAD POINTS
No Rhyming: This is unforgivable!
Ending: Very weak
Plot: Repeats the "HOOD" concept

Summary: THIS IS NOW THE WORST MOVIE OF THE SERIES!
Review: BASICALLY A SEMI-REMAKE OF THE FIRST MOVIE. THE LEPRECHAUN GOES AFTER A GROUP OF YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE WHO'VE STOLEN HIS GOLD. SENSE OF HUMOR REALLY HELPS AT TIMES, BUT IT DOESN'T DO ENOUGH TO OVERCOME ITS VERY WEAK STORYLINE. THIS MOVIE HAS SOME OF THE WORST MURDER SCENES TO'VE EVER BEEN SEEN IN A LEPRECHAUN MOVIE! AND, AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, YA DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE THE LEPRECHAUN USE ANY OF HIS MAGIC! AND THERE'S A REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY CORNY ENDING! THE LEPRECHAUN HAS GOTTEN TOO SILLY FOR HIS OWN GOOD. THE SERIES IS NOW BECOMING A BONAFIDE JOKE. YES, THIS REALLY IS THE WORST MOVIE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES. ONLY PURE DIE-HARD FANS WILL ENJOY THIS ONE. TO ME, THE REAL LEPRECHAUN DIED IN ''LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD''.

Summary: Where were the the Leps funny riddles?
Review: I am a huge fan of the Leprechaun series, but I must say, this was a pretty bad one. It had some pretty funny scenes, but the Leprechaun never said any funny riddles like he did in all of the others. The main reason I like the series as much as I did was because I thought the Leprechaun was hilarious, but I didnt think he was in this one. As long as you arent expecting a whole lot, this is a very enjoyable film and was still much better then "In Space".

Summary: GOOD LEPRECHAUN FLICK
Review: I FOUND THIS LEPRECHAUN FILM TO BE PRETTY GOOD. I AM A HUGE FAN OF THE SERIES. LEP BACK 2 THA HOOD IS BETTER THAN LEP IN SPACE AND LEP IN THE HOOD. THERE ARE SOME FUNNY MOMENTS IN THIS FILM. LIKE ALWAYS, THE LEP DOES NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. IF YOUR A FAN OF THE SERIES, YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH THIS FILM. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE LEP 7 IN THE FUTURE.

Summary: Crap!- he doesnt rhyme! pass on it and you wont regret it...
Review: I love the leprechaun series especially 1-3 but this movie was a big disappointment. The leprechaun loses a lot when he doesnt rhyme! this movie had a lot of potential if the writers had fun with the dialogue but it was a chore to watch. there were a few golden moments but for the most art this movie belongs in the toilet. the crummy part is that it had a great deal of potential. In one part the lep gets hit by a cop and responds "you punch like a lass!!!" thats the leprechaun I love and those lines were few and far between. the writers need to let their minds run wild and suspend disbelief to make a good movie. makeup was the only area that was better than in previous movies. if you miss this installment of the leprechaun series youre not missing much...

Summary: What a letdown
Review: I'm a really big fan of this series, and had high hopes for this one, but it just fell flat. Too much of the human characters (I don't really CARE if bike boy is trying to "do the right thing"), the Leprechaun got his backside whipped most of the movie, the killings were neither imaginative nor graphic, and there wasn't anything that really surprised me. The only really funny part was the bong scene, which was pretty much done in the first "Hood".How you can botch a Leprechaun movie is beyond me, but maybe it's the curse of the evens (the odd numbered ones are MUCH better than the evens). The end was pretty lame, too, and didn't make a whole lot of sense. Extras on the DVD were pretty much non-existent. I'll still buy the box set when it comes out, though. If you like this series, check it out just so you've seen them all, but this movie was a waste.

Summary: Cant help but love it
Review: Ill be honest, this wasnt the best flick in the series, but I love it just the same, being 100% irish as I am, I love the mix of evil and irish, so much in fact half of my tattoo sleeve in the leprechaun himself.

Summary: Doesn't Compare to "In The Hood"
Review: Leprachaun 5: In the hood, was a cult classic. Mostly because of its political incorectness and chemistry between the main characters. However, in this one, the sixth installment, they tried too hard to be goofy. The jokes were lame, or rather they weren't executed well (like when the police confiscate a whole garbage bag of weed from the guy's house and he responds, "Oh, dat stuuf, dat's oregano, my momma is "Eye-tal-ian" and she like lottsa oregano in her lasagna"). And the leprachaun doesn't talk (or rap)or blurt out riddles like he used to. And where are my "zombie fly girls"?! Oh well, <sigh> I guess good things like "In the hood" don't last forever, just leave it to some knucklehead to go out and ruin something that was already divine.
