Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When Butch, Postmaster P, and Stray Bullet loot the local hip-hop mogul's studio to fund their demo album, the threesome unwittingly ends up with the secret of Mack Daddy's success: a magical flute. Their gigs instantly turn golden but a blood-thristy Leprechaun and an angry Mack Daddy are hot on their trail, leaving a wake of destruction tainted by politically incorrect limericks.

This was such an embarrassment to watch. Somehow, even after going forward and seeing all the crap that the Leprechaun franchise had to throw at us after this one, in the Hood still managed to end up being the worst. Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs.
