Whenever horror and space combine they are usually met with a critical response, from Dracula 3000 (2004) to Jason X (2001) and this was no exception.Warwick Davis's Leprechaun ventures into space to woo a princess in hopes of becoming a king but faces off against a military force set to scupper his plans.As you can imagine this is pretty dumb stuff but ultimately watchable.Warwick Davis seems to phone his performance in and certainly isn't on form here. Thankfully the rest of the cast carry the film especially the underrated Jessica Collins.More comical deaths, silly quips and dodgy sfx are in order in this 4th instalment.The Good: Jessica Collins The Bad: Warwick Davis isn't on form Looks pretty crappy Things I Learnt From This Movie: I can't see Guy Siner without thinking Lieutenant Hubert Gruber I'm very surprised George Lucas didn't sue When a person is turned into a mutant using scorpion dna they'll become a spider..........for some unexplained reason

Ahh, when I clicked on this movie I knew it would be full of horrible reviews by people who try to take the movie too seriously. I mean it even has comedy in the description. I've seen people talking about bad special effects. Seriously? You're watching this movie for the special effects? If you're a fan of the Leprechaun movies you're going to like them silly as some of them are. Just about ALL horror movies are lucky if they have over a 6 rating because only certain people appreciate them. This movie did all I need a movie to do. Entertain me, give a tiny bit of suspense and make me laugh. Given that Warwick didn't have as many clever one liners in this one, but still an enjoyable movie.If you're a die hard or even a casual horror fan, it is worth watching.

A movie that received, very poor reviews by professional critics. But I find to be very underrated. Its true that the space affects, like what it looks like outside the ship are pretty bad, but those are the things that make this movie so awesome! What is more cool then a Leprechaun, in space trying to get it on with a hot space princess? Nothing. I love how the Leprechaun uses that lightsaber like thing, and just killed the space soldier! Then for a reason I never understood, the space princess reveals her breasts to a bunch of the space soldiers on the ship as a punishment. Pretty awkward, but funny and erotic moment. I love how the Leprechaun focuses mostly on the princess, but eventually tells her they need to go back for his gold! Still sticking to the series plot. And it had perhaps the greatest kill in movie history. When a male soldier is getting it with a female soldier, he gets an erection. And because he earlier had blown up the Leprechaun, then pee'd on it, the Leprechaun explodes out of penis and says one of the greatest movie lines of all time, "Let that be a lesson to you lads, always wear a prophylactic!" It was the most gross and funny, and awesome kill scenes I have ever seen in my entire life. The only problem with this movie that I have this is the one movie in the series in which the Leprechaun does not rhyme. In all of the Leprechaun movies he has a habit of rhyming for no apparent reason and its a great thing, but he for whatever reason just does not do that in this movie. Disappointing. But overall, this is the second greatest film in the series, and perhaps one of the greatest horror films I have ever seen in my life. I love this film, I recommend it to everyone in the world, this film is a 9 out of 10.

In my opinion, movies with poor acting, cheap effects and stupid plots should start to be considered a genre for films. This movie has all of the above however this is why I bought the film. No matter what you serious film critics say, there are people who purposely watch bad films. This is because they are funny and entertaining and are films not made to entertain us? This film gives many quotable lines and memorable scenes that will have you and your buddies laughing.Basically what I'm trying to say is that this film is trying to entertain a certain audience. If you're not part of this audience, there is no reason to watch the film (and you have to admit that from the title you know what type of film this is going to be). It's like someone purposely going to a sad movie when they hate sad movies and then giving it a bad review. What's the point? Of course it's not going to appeal to you! It's made to entertain people that enjoy laughing at movies, not win Oscars so give it a rest. Just say "This wasn't my type of film" because that's all you can say.
