That was an excellent one.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Don't need to write a review on this...my title says it all. part one of this franchise was somewhat OK but this, this is just total stupid sh*t.I would be ashamed to have ever starred in this or even produced it.....awful awful sh*t. I would expect more of ice-t but I guess like the writers and the rest of the cast, he too, was stupid, at least on this....i see he came a long way on Law and Order where as the rest of the cast on here faded away like a bad odor coming from a week old turd. don't be like me and waste your time with this pile of crap. I did only because there was nothing on TV and i was bored but now regret it....deeply.

Hip Hop Culture with St. Patrick Day themes are normally not something, people are jumping around, for. However, I do believe that Celtic fusion with some hip hop can work. Sadly, this straight to video American comedy horror movie isn't one of those. Directed by Rob Spera, this movie is the true House of Pain; in which, it was too painful to watch. Like the previous movies, none of the past events, plays much to the plot of the new movie. Nevertheless, this movie tries to make sense of Leprechaun movie history by having the movie take place sometime between the events of 1995's 'Leprechaun 3' & before 1996's 'Leprechaun 4: in Space'. It also try to bring back the magic MacGuffin of the gold medallion that turns the walking talking symbol of St. Patrick Day into stone from the third movie. However, that item is quickly, tossed aside, when a new magic item, a flute was introduce into the script, out of nowhere, that gives its owner great musical talent. It's here, where the Leprechaun, Lubdan (Warwick Davis), escapes from his stone prison, when a botch robbery committed by three- what-a-be LA rappers, Postmaster P. (Anthony Montgomery), Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nall) and Butch (Red Grant) accidentally cause his freedom, while, they were trying to steal the flute from their record producer Mac Daddy O'Nassas (Ice T), a man that turn the Leprechaun into stone, years earlier. It's also here, where the movie get idiotic repetitive with its rap gimmick. Most of the movie, has the 3 men, badly rapping as if the movie is a series of music videos, barely string together with a weak plot. I thought, the magic flute, would give them, great musical talent, but they sound, just as awful as before, their newly awarded powers. The worst one, had to be the scene where they rapping in front of the church. Wow, if you going to be offensive with all the N-words, other racism stereotype, and negative portrayal of women and gays people. At least, be clever with it. If anybody deserve to rap in this, it had to Ice T, since he's the only one with some talent & skills, both in acting and rapping. However, they wasted him, in a very forgettable secondary role. Instead of giving us, Ice T's gangsta raps, the movie plays it, over silly, by having the Leprechaun do one himself. In my opinion, Davis's rap in the ending is a lot better than any of the 3 main characters, raps, throughout the film. The only problem is, that Warwick Davis in this film is hardly funny. As much as 1996's 'Leprechaun 4: in Space', is cheesy in humor with its dramatic over-the-top fashion. At least, that had some entertaining good points with him. Not only, does the movie spend most of the time, with these three idiotic unlikeable characters who are not entertaining, but they hardly give anything for the Leprechaun to do. The Leprechaun was barely in the movie. When, he was in the film, they made him, do pointless stuff, like bedding with a transsexual, or turning some hos into zombies. It's sad, how wasted, Warwick Davis's character was in this film, because the Leprechaun make up work is pretty impression and Warwick Davis does have some charm to pull this movie, off. However, for this Leprechaun's film, the deaths in this film, is pretty generic and bland. Nothing in the film seem, unique. After all, the drive-by capping is so clichés as hell, by now. Even the downer ending didn't really help the film. However, it's not the worst movie of the Leprechaun film series (1993-2014); for that honor, it's has to be 2014's reboot movie, 'Leprechaun: Origins'. In the end, this movie is probably, the second worst horror film. I preferred the one with Rachel from friends, over this. In the end, this movie really didn't use, the insane 'hood' premise right. In my opinion, 2003's 'Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood' does use the hip hop concept a lot better than this movie, however that is also a stinker. Overall: There isn't enough booze in the world, to make me rewatch this movie. Maybe the others, but not 'Leprechaun 5: In the Hood'. It makes me vomit. I can't recommended watching this movie. Even on, St. Patrick Day. Watch the other films instead.

This series of films of Leprechaun have so much potential. It has in film 1 such a great plot with lots of fun but where did it go wrong ? Well not at #5 because than the Franchise officially died.If you ask a famous singer to star in partly a horror movie than your doing something wrong. Okay it is partly humor but it a singer isn't meant to be a Acting Star if you ask me. Because they always look like the singer they actually are. Actors are meant to be acting and by passing them, it is a disgrace to the film industry. The acting level was so incredibly low. Warwick Davis was the only real actor who tried everything he could. And I wished I quit after #3 because his role in this films from 3 is to laugh about. Such a great actor and don't give him the huge amount of time in a movie he deserves.The acting level of the film was low but the storyline was also incredibly bad. The Leprechaun is defeated so easily while he is meant to be scary and stronger than the humans. You can't take this storyline seriously. You can't take what happen in this film seriously.I rate this film 1/10 I was really disappointed with where these films are going to.

Leprechaun in the HoodThe good thing about being a little person in the ghetto is that the bullets from the drive-bys go right over your head.Mind you, the small person in this horror-comedy also has magic to protect him.Imprisoned by a record producer (Ice-T), a malevolent leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is released by unsuspecting rap-artists: Postmaster P. (Anthony Montgomery), Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nall), and Butch (Red Grant).Determined to take back his enchanted flute that emits hypnotic notes, the Leprechaun takes South Central by storm.Now it's up to the wannabe MCs to trick the trickster into smoking a clover-laced joint so they can steal the flute back again.This fifth installment in the b-horror franchise is a cheesy send-up of the gangster genre. Its only redeeming value can be found in its gory camp and Leprechaun rap. And, who knows, maybe now all the O.G.'s will start wearing buckled high tops.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
