Leprechaun in the Hood Trailers

When Butch, Postmaster P, and Stray Bullet loot the local hip-hop mogul's studio to fund their demo album, the threesome unwittingly ends up with the secret of Mack Daddy's success: a magical flute. Their gigs instantly turn golden but a blood-thristy Leprechaun and an angry Mack Daddy are hot on their trail, leaving a wake of destruction tainted by politically incorrect limericks.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Stevieboy666 On paper this sounds a good idea: Warwick Davis, despite his dubious Irish accent, is very entertaining as the witty, deadly Leprechaun, and I love hip-hop, I've seen Ice-T several times live here in the UK. But sadly this film, apart from a few moments, just doesn't work. The film feels flat, the gore & humour isn't on par with previous episodes, every other word is f*** or muthaf***er, it's too long (even at 90mins) & the Leprechaun rapping at the end is excruciatingly bad. Easily the worst of the first 5 films, next up is Leprechaun 6...
jacobjohntaylor1 I am a big fan of the first 4 Leprechaun movie. This is the fifth Leprechaun movie. The first Leprechaun movie is a great movie. Leprechaun 2 is a great movie. Leprechaun 3 is a great movie. Leprechaun 4 in space is a great movie. The sixth Leprechaun movie Leprechaun back 2 t.h.a hood is a great movie. This is just stinky pooh pooh. The best thing about this movie is that it is a precursor to Leprechaun back 2 t.h.a hood. Do not bother with this awful movie. It is just pooh pooh. The story line is awful. The ending is very stupid. This a good movie to skip. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this awful movie.
jessegehrig Have you seen what human beings do to each other, I mean man, whats the point? Yeah I've been intoxicated and seen this movie more than once. I've passionately defended this movie and fantasized about making a Leprechaun western. We make choices and we live with them. Do you want to know the plot of this movie? The plot is humans dream, and those dreams fuel us to struggle for unattainable goals, goals that ultimately destroy us. We mark our achievements with meaningless baubles and then suffer from the hollowness of these baubles. Does the Leprechaun smoke pot? Yes. Is there nudity? I don't remember but probably. There are good scenes in this movie but they appear in spite of producers wishes, y'know like no one can entirely screw up a movie, some particle always shines. I mean at some point some one has to ask why expend the effort and money to make these movies, yes Warwick Davis gets something out of this as short actors are desperate for work, Hollywood has a bias, but what do you and I get out of it? Entertainment is a nice way of saying utter pointlessness.
Wizard-8 With this entry, I have now seen all six entries of this series, so I can say with full confidence that this particular entry is the WORST of the series. Watching it, it becomes clear that there were some problems behind the scenes that made their way to in front of the camera. Take the murder of the pawn shop owner - not only do you NOT get to see exactly how the pawn shop owner is being killed, but we get close-up footage of the leprechaun that's actually used AGAIN later in the movie! There are also numerous script problems (despite FIVE screenwriters being credited.) How does the Ice-T character know about the leprechaun and its treasure when he breaks into the leprechaun's lair at the beginning of the movie? How does the leprechaun, frozen for years, know about stuff like Tiger Woods and 'hood lingo and life? If the leprechaun has the ability to blow someone's guts out with a flick of the wrist, why does he seldom use this power? But even had the script been more coherent and missing all its padding that makes the movie stretch on forever, it would still suffer from rock-bottom production values. Most of the movie looks like it was shot in back alleys and sparsely furnished rooms. The cinematography is out of focus and looks muddy. Except for two rap sequences (a hilariously blasphemous rap number at a church, and the leprechaun getting a rap of his own at the end), there's no gold at the end of this rainbow.
