Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A thousand years ago, the Leprechaun left a bloody trail when he ripped through the countryside in search of his stolen gold. Now he's back in the big city using all of his deadly tricks to snare the girl of his nightmares. His bloody quest becomes more deadly when her boyfriend steals one of the Leprechaun's gold coins. The town soon discovers two dead bodies and a trail of gold dust leads them to the Leprechaun's lair.

“This time... luck has nothing to do with it.”

This is my personal favourite movie in the Leprechaun franchise for exactly one reason: It's the only one that has any characters I like. I'm totally up front that Leprechaun 2 isn't very good, but it did get some small part of me to mildly care about a handful of the characters that shore the thing up, so personally I put this one on the top of the pile anyway. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
