Summary: Best Horror Movie
Review: Leprchaun back 2 the hood is funny and scary at the same time. Sometimes you just want that damn leprechaun to die so he wont come back again and then you just think that if he dies for good there wont be other leprechau sequels. Out of all the horror movies this has to be the best and exciting movie ever, I recommend buying all the leprechaun movies. If you are a definite Horror movie lover, then you gotta buy this!

Summary: Mediocre chapter could have been better
Review: Mediocre describes this laughable direct-to-video with the Leprechaun going back to the hood and starting a killing spree looking for his gold. Basically a remake to Leprechaun in the Hood with terrible special effects and bad acting but this movie is so inept and hilarious its almost as absurd as Leprechaun 4 and this funniest parts are when the Leprechaun jams a bong in a man's stomach and when he rips a cop's leg off while wanting to fight. Watch only once or twice but stick with parts 1,2,3.

Summary: Stop already.
Review: Okay I rented this movie and I asked myself what I was thinking. I have seen all of the movies and even own the 4th one, but they need to stop making bad, stupid, and not even scary movies. The movie wasnt that super bad, but I would only watch it once. If you are a fan of the series then buy it, otherwise just rent it and spend the money you saved on something good.

Summary: Small and green, funny and mean!
Review: This film is my favorite in the whole Leprechaun series. I liked 5 because he talked in rhymes and even rapped, which I didn't think was that bad. This film has a lot of good stuff in it. I like how it was funny, but also kind of creepy. The whole party scene with him was hilarious and I loved when he came face-to-waist with the gang of drug dealers. It all came to a close that I just didn't want to see, the ending. I loved the movie and hated to see the credits roll onto the screen.
The film is about poor people in the hood who stumble across a bunch of gold, which won't go away. They start using it for their own things, and so the Leprechaun comes for them. I liked the dialogue because it was so off the wall at times, it was downright hilarious. What's wrong with laughing at a horror movie? It means you enjoyed something about it a little differently than others.
I think they should make another in the hood because it seems like the ones set there are the funniest and most creative. I thought the one in space was actually really good too. Now I think New Line needs to follow this formula putting Jason in the Hood because that would be fun to watch. Jason do a drive by with his machete sticking out the window, chopping rival gangmembers in half, smoking weed with his homies, getting the munchies! That would be cool. But Leprachaun Back 2 Tha Hood is definitely worth buying, even if you laugh. It's supposed to be humorous and/or scary at the same time. Go out now and buy this treasure.

Summary: Trite, cliched, banal
Review: Unfortunately, "Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood," also known as "Leprechaun 6," came out after I indulged in a five movie marathon several months ago. Since I still retain more than a few memories of the five previous "Leprechaun" movies, I went ahead and watched the latest effort without going back to review the prior entries. There's a nearly ironclad rule about horror franchises, a rule generally acknowledged by fans and non-fans of a particular film series. The rule states that sequels to a hit horror film will invariably decline in quality directly proportional to the rising numbers of the film. Thus, "Leprechaun 3" will be a better film than "Leprechaun 5." The rule doesn't always hold fast (see "Hellraiser"), but it's a safe way to decide which films you will spend your hard earned rental dollars on. Personally, I rely on this law to hold true; I enjoy watching awful low budget films, so franchise sequels constitute the bread and butter of my viewing hours. I can always get a chuckle from "Friday the 13th: Part VIII" or "Halloween 6" instead of flying into a rage over an unpleasant experience-most of the time, anyway. Having said this, "Leprechaun 6" isn't the worst film out there. It isn't a particularly good one, either, but compared to parts four and five this one is Shakespearean drama. In "Leprechaun 5," Warwick Davis once again donned the makeup and costume of the diminutive demon in order to wreak havoc on an up and coming rap group living in the ghetto. This time out, a priest named Jacob sends the leprechaun to Hell-conveniently located under a construction site for a new youth center-before expiring in the effort. A year later a group of young adults-consisting of Lisa, Emily, Jamie, and Rory-discover the leprechaun's box of gold in a chamber underneath the half built youth center. The discovery promises to do a lot of good for Emily, a pretty girl looking forward to attending Kansas State University if only see can get out of the neighborhood. Her friend Lisa also thinks the newfound riches will give her a better life, as well as a new car. Jamie, a chronic imbiber of the wacky weed, takes his share of the loot and throws a bunch of parties. Rory, Emily's ex-boyfriend, uses his earnings to underwrite his growing narcotics empire, much to the chagrin of a rival gang of thugs seeking to end his career. Well, you can't take a leprechaun's gold and expect to live your life in peace. For some reason never explained, the tiny terror reemerges from the underworld to reclaim his gold and take horrible revenge on the four that spent it. Davis's character dives right in to the bloodletting, roughing up a couple of boys in blue, a customer at the beauty salon where Emily works, and the gang members gunning for Rory. He also destroys the neighborhood seer/ witch who predicted his arrival a few days before Emily discovered the gold. Once again, the people under siege learn that four leaf clovers can hurt the leprechaun, so Rory fills hollow point bullets with ground up clover thus hoping the ammunition will send the demon back to where he came from. Several subplots emerge from time to time, including references to Emily and Rory's rocky relationship, Rory's new girlfriend (the one who loves the idea of a gold tooth), and that whole annoying "ninja" running gag that wears out its welcome quite quickly. You even get an earful about Rory's struggles in turning his life around and doing something honest and clean. It's all ends up being a rather ridiculous and pedestrian outing. Even worse, the gore looks cheap and unconvincing. Sure, you see a few impalings, a hair trimmer in the eye gag, and a few other extremely tedious situations that should "shock" the audience, but it's too similar to the gore you see in a Herschell Gordon Lewis film. This is supposed to be a horror movie, right? I had less of a problem with the acting, which wasn't too bad, than I did with the crummy special effects and awkwardly "humorous" moments injected for no other reason than to...well, I don't know why the filmmakers decided to insert scenes of the small lad talking trash on a cell phone or yucking it up at one of Jamie's parties. He's certainly worked the crowd for laughs before in other entries in the series, but in those movies he occasionally garnered a chuckle. Not so here. I can't remember one memorable line uttered by the leprechaun in "Back 2 Tha Hood," which is surprising considering Davis's character is a three foot version of the wisecracking Freddie Krueger of "Nightmare on Elm Street" fame. I suspect the writers of the script weren't clever enough to come up with unforgettable aphorisms. I'm not even going to delve into the disturbing stereotypes played for humor. As I watched this film, the only thing I could think of-other than wondering when the film would end-was whether Jennifer Aniston might ever return to do another film as a sort of signature performance like Jamie Lee Curtis did with the "Halloween" movies. Don't bet on it. I imagine this series will be long gone by the time Aniston's opportunities in the film industry drop off enough for her to consider returning to her roots. Anyway, the DVD version of "Leprechaun 6" contains several extras, including storyboards and trailers for other films in the series. Only watch this one if you simply can't find anything else with which to spend a few hours.

Summary: The Best in a Long, Long Time
Review: Well here it is. The sixth in the Leprechaun Series. Were we last left off the Leprecahun was in the Hood, killing all the homies, but after being killed off again, we all thought that his time had passed. But now 3 years later, a new company, and a new producer comes the next installment. The Film starts with Emily falling down a hole in an abandond construction field. Once in there she finds a forest, and a treasure box, which she finds has an unlimited supply of gold. When she finds the money, her and her friend go on a spending spree, but what they don't realize is that they have awakend a Leprechaun that Wnats his Gold. I had very, very low hopes going into this movie, and I'm glad to say that i was pleasently surprised. This has got to be the best Leprechaun film in a long while. The Cast (for the most part) actually knows how to act... I know shocking, lol. And in this installment they do into the mythology of the Leprechaun, which i like alot. And Tangi Miller (from Tv's Felicity) plays the main character. The Special FEatures include 4 storyboards, the Trailer, a Commentary with Davis and the Directior (Great & Fun), and another Commentary with the Technical Crew.

Summary: What a great movie
Review: Well what i thought was a suprise, Leprechaun came back. What a great movie. He was back into the hood again and this time it was mean. Not only did he survive getting shot atleast 50 times but he also survived being burned with a lock on the burning door. He lost but you know he will be back, he just has to. I recommend this movie to anyone that hasn't seen Leprechaun 1-5 yet.
