Truly Dreadful Film

Overrated

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I liked this one, beautifully well done, creative, I liked the characters in this one, great music, great story, well done.

So this movie features the leprechaun who is now weakened by a medallion as well as his gold being destroyed. I thought he was weak against either four leaf clovers or iron. What is this thing supposed to be defeated by? Oh and he died in the last movie but now he's back. I mean, this guy looks and acts the same as the leprechaun in the previous films. It must be the same character! Anyway, this movie features the leprechaun biting somebody causing him to turn into one. I thought that was vampires, werewolves, and zombies? Well, I guess if they can bite people and make them one of themselves leprechauns can do it too.Dang, the 1995 computers do not hold up. I guess I'll give the movie credit for being slightly better than the last one. This movie features coins that grant wishes. I thought the leprechaun himself granted wishes? Anyway, the main characters actually do use their wishes well and are pretty intelligent. I find the death of the woman with the inflation of the lips, breasts, and butt to be horrifying to watch and not in a good way. The leprechaun loses one shilling just like he did in the first movie. I don't care, these movies suck. *1/2

Leprechaun 3 was the best film in the 6 part series. In this one, the lep is in Las Vegas creating trouble. Several people die like in the other films, but even an evil and greedy leprechaun knows better than to disrespect Elvis in Sin City-he briefly bonds with an Elvis impersonator without causing him any harm.The lep also has some good lines, and this one even features a naïve college student (Scott) who gets bit by the lep and starts to turn into one of the green monsters. Fortunately, the naïve college student and his sexy female companion (Tammy-working as magician's assistant to a wannabe magician (Fazio) who gets sawed in half by the lep)defeat the little evil green guy. Scott even manages to avoid becoming a little evil green midget at the end of the film.My favorite death scenes are the one where the an older woman jealous of Tammy's good looks finds one of the lep's coin, and wishes she was beautiful again. The lep makes her boobs, lips, and butt big and then proceeds to blow her up. The other good death scene is where the dirty old man casino owner gets seduced by a sexy female robot with big boobs, and then gets electrocuted by the lep.The lep also manages to ruin Fazio's magic trick by turning an animal into a pile of poop in his hand-that was also very funny. If you have limited time and want to check out this series, recommend watching this one as the 1st film to view.

Compared to the first two movies in the "Leprechaun" series, then part three is fairly tame and a step back horror-wise. The third installment of the series offers more of a comedy approach to the genre."Leprechaun 3" takes place in Las Vegas, where everything is golden, so it is right up the leprechaun's alley. So the setting itself was actually not a bad choice.Again, as in the previous two movies, the leprechaun (played by Warwick Davis) is on a killing rampage and spewing rhyming obscenities. It does have its odd charm and works out well enough, despite it bordering on being downright annoying.The lack of scares, horror and blood in this third movie is a step downward in the enjoyment for me. Don't get me wrong, "Leprechaun 3" is a nice movie, sort of a strange horror-comedy. If you watch this movie hoping it to be scary, then you are in for a disappointment.Having seen it now, and having parts four and five next to me, I am starting to dread the direction the series have gone in. But still, I am sure I will give the remaining movies a go as well.
