SnoopyStyle In Las Vegas, a man with one hand, one eye, and one leg walks into a pawn shop with a Leprechaun statue and a medallion. He sells it to the shop owner for $20 and warns him not to touch the medallion. Of course, he takes the medallion and the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) comes to life. The Leprechaun loses one of his coins and the medallion keeps him at bay. Scott McCoy is new in town and almost runs over Tammy Larsen. She's a magician at a casino with a broke down car. She's an assistant to incompetent magician Fazio.None of the characters are appealing or sympathetic. The acting is lackluster. Scott is a loser with no charisma. He is annoying in his cluelessness. Tammy is sassy for no reason. Their story has no drama until Scott shows up at the pawn shop. Speaking of the pawn shop, the owner's battle with the Leprechaun is silly. I don't care about the shop owner and the fight has no rooting interest. The only good is Warwick Davis despite the bad jokes and the ridiculous outfit. This continues to be lower level camp and an unscary horror franchise.

shanerittersbach Leprechaun 3 is the best sequel and possibly the best film in the leprechaun franchise (But at the end of the day, its still a killer leprechaun)SPOILERS AHEAD!Leprechaun 3 was released in 1995 from Trimark Entertainment. Australian born genre director Brian Trenchard-Smith directed the film, Smith is known for his horror exploits in such films as Dead End Drive-In (1986) and Night of the Demons 2 (1989). The film stars Lee Armstrong (Fraggle Rock), John Gatins (Kong: Skull Island), Marcelo Tubert (Tremors 2: After Shocks), Caroline Williams (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2), and of course that ever talented green-thumb, Warwick Davis (Willow) is the Leprechaun.Warwick Davis returns as the titular leprechaun in this the third installment of the leprechaun franchise. For such a small menace the leprechaun fills up the screen with witty dark humor and a genuine creepiness at certain points. Davis seems to gleam right through he makeup and shoot out at the audience. Without Warwick at the helm of the character, the leprechaun would be nothing but a re-hashing of a formula that doesn't always work ... Leprechaun: OriginsThe other actor within the film definitely fit in the film. The actors certainly bring a certain cheesy camp nature to the film and that is how this materiel should be treated. A film about a killer leprechaun on the loose for his lost gold, that's crazy. The film stars Lee Armstrong and John Gatins as the two leads. Though the film is silly their performances fit perfectly within the content. Gatins at one point in the film starts to turn into a leprechaun after being bitten by the little green bastard. The idea of a person turning into a leprechaun is absurd but given the nature of the materiel and the context of the film the acting on Gatins part lends a lovely, cheesy blend to all of those scenes. Next to Gatins we have Lee Armstrong, who plays the classic B-Film girl. Though i said she is the classic B-girl one thing she doesn't do the whole movie is scream. Thank god! No, she kicks leprechaun ass in the film. She is great and it is a true shame she didn't do more acting, who knows she could have become the next scream queen.The film also features wonderful makeup effects by underrated effects artist Gabe Bartalos. Bartalos is mostly known for his work for director Frank Henlotter and his films such as The Basket Case Trilogy and Brain Damage, and others. Bartalos has also worked on other well known films in the genre like Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Texas Chainsaw 2, and From Beyond. Among his work obviously is the leprechaun films. He has worked on and done the effects for all including the first film. His effects have certain creativity and fantasy element i love about them. The leprechaun makeup is beautifully crafted and the gore and shock effects are very well done. The Leprechaun film franchise has always been one of my favorites. I not the biggest fan of the later films, these being both of the In The Hoods and Origins, they suck! But i will admit the 3rd installment is my personal favorite. The film is full of dark comedy and wonderful gore. Warwick Davis's performance is wonderful and creepy. I love the film, its a great B-Horror film.Two-Green Thumbs Up!

BA_Harrison Brian Trenchard Smith 'gets' it: those who settle down for a third instalment of the Leprechaun series aren't expecting a groundbreaking work of art… they simply want another undemanding dose of tongue-in-cheek horror, with Warwick Davis hobbling around spouting appalling rhymes, and a spot of really hokey gore. And that's exactly what Trenchard-Smith delivers with Leprechaun 3, along with some T&A for good measure.This chapter sees the malevolent titular character causing trouble in Las Vegas, killing those unfortunate enough to find themselves in possession of one of his gold shillings. Meanwhile, college student Scott McCoy, bitten on the arm by the mischievous imp, is slowly transforming into a leprechaun himself. With help from beautiful magician's assistant Tammy (Lee Armstrong), can Scott defeat the evil Oirish fellow and thus return to normal?Highlights from Leprechaun 3 include Indian pawn shop owner Gupta (Marcelo Tubert) having his ear and toe bitten off, Caroline Williams (Stretch from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) exploding, magician Fazio being sawn in half with a chainsaw (John DeMita), casino owner Mitch (Michael Callan) electrocuted by a topless female cyborg, and virtually any scene featuring the lovely Lee Armstrong, since she spends the majority of the film in corset and stockings.

tequila101 After watching Leprechaun 2, I thought the series from this film and on, with it's oddly absurd scenes and horrible dialogue would soon fall flat on it's face. By watching the trailer, I had a good feeling that this film would be good, but I still wasn't sure. Boy, this one was way up in the series. It beats Lep 2. Even at one stage I thought it was nearly better than 1! I don't, but I definitely think this is the top Leprechaun sequel of the series. I believe after this Lep film, they suddenly went down hill, because they couldn't think of anymore ideas. Here's why I think Lep 3 is such an awesome sequel.The film's music isn't really heard to the best in my opinion, but it works enough to show the film's true colors. I believe they went back to the more campy/black humor slasher style of the original Leprechaun. They had a great plot like the previous and there were some great characters with absolutely awesome-stupid violence. Even the deaths this time round I felt were funnier.I mostly have to give props to Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun again, as he did a marvelous job with making him more interactive with the human side of life, which includes meeting an Elvis lookalike or sawing fazio on his magic show with a Chainsaw! All of these elements which I positively praise, I think make this sequel a tad stronger than it's predecessor.Sure like every Leprechaun film so far, many of the plot lines and the story itself don't make sense, but it doesn't matter. These films are an excellent time waster, because of how funny they are.I highly recommend Leprechaun 3 as it is definitely one of the best in the series by far.It'll be 7.5/10 schillings out of 10 me las
