Storyline

On his 1000th birthday, a mean Leprechaun gets to choose a bride by making her sneeze three times, then she's his...only the bride he chooses is the daughter of his slave (who fouls up the wedding) so Leprechaun must wait until his 2000th birthday to claim the woman of his nightmares. The descendant of the woman he wanted to marry already has a boyfriend: a brave young boy named Cody, who lives with his swindler uncle Morty and together they run a tour company called Darkside Tours. Leprechaun soon wakes up, kills a bunch of people and kidnaps his bride to be. It's soon up to Cody to save her, and only wrought iron can destroy a Leprechaun. Morty has an idea, but it soon goes horribly wrong when he gets too greedy. Cody ventures into Leprechaun's home to save Bridget, but little does he know that a leprechaun's home has many surprises.

User Reviews

More wicked than the first movie...

Having seen "Leprechaun" just last night, I sat down to watch part 2 tonight, and I was rather entertained, because "Leprechaun 2" is far better than the first one.

Why? Well, for starters the leprechaun itself is more wicked and nasty in the second movie. And there are more gruesome ways that people die. Sure, not many people actually die throughout the movie, but still, the ways they did was way better in part 1.

And they also toned down the goofy cheesy comedy that was rampart in part 1, giving way for a more sinister leprechaun, though he is still firing off corny - and rhyming - catchy one-liners to torment his prey.

The acting in "Leprechaun 2" was also better than what they had in part 1, except Shevonne Durkin (playing Bridget), sad to say. But wow, her acting was staggering, halting and very rigid. You might go as far as calling her rigid Bridget. Haha, I just pulled a leprechaun one-liner. However, Warwick Davis (playing the leprechaun) is really perfect for this role. His voice is really complimenting the character as is his on-screen charisma (despite all the make-up and prosthetics).

It was a nice surprise to see Clint Howard (playing tourist) and Kimmy Robertson (playing tourist) in the movie, despite having small roles only. But still, their faces brought a smile to mine.

Having bought both part 1 and 2 from Amazon, I might actually just pick up parts 3 and 4 as well and give them a go. I think I only saw part 1 back in the 90's but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me, so I am a latecomer to the "Leprechaun" franchise.
