A leprechaun (Warwick Davis) celebrating his 2,000th birthday chooses Bridget (Shevonne Durkin), a descendent of the bride he lost on his 1,000th birthday, to be his new bride, but Bridget's boyfriend Cody (Charlie Heath) isn't about to let that happen.
The leprechaun character was created by film-maker Mark Jones, who wrote, directed, and produced the first movie, Leprechaun (1992) (1993). Leprechaun 2 is based on a screenplay by writers Turi Meyer and Al Septien, with Jones serving as executive producer. There are four more Leprechaun movies in the series: Leprechaun 3 (1995) (1995), Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996) (1997), Leprechaun 5: In the Hood (2000) (2000), and Leprechaun 6: Back 2 Tha Hood (2003) (2003).
That has been a hotly debated issue. Both leprechauns were played by Warwick Davis, but the costumes and the leprechaun's voice and face makeup are different between the two movies (not that a change of clothes proves they aren't the same leprechaun). Their pots of gold are different, too, in that the first leprechaun's treasure consisted of 100 gold coins, while the second leprechaun's gold in this movie is made up of jewelry and other gold pieces. The magical abilities of the two leprechauns are also different: In this movie, the leprechaun has the ability to mimic voices and create illusions (as when Ian gets his face ripped to shreds when he thinks that he's sticking his head between Bridget's breasts). In the first movie, the leprechaun could only mimic voices but couldn't create illusions. Finally, the leprechaun in the first movie said that he was 600 years old, whereas the leprechaun in this movie is celebrating his 2,000th birthday. That disparity in ages alone strongly suggests that they are two different leprechauns.
The opening scenes start out in Ireland, when the leprechaun's plans to claim his bride were thwarted when her father said, "God bless you, my child", after her third sneeze. The movie then moves ahead 1,000 years to modern day Los Angeles.
There is a story from Celtic folklore about a faerie in a red jacket (traditionally what leprechauns wear) who attempts to take a bride when she sneezes three times and no one says, "God bless you!" If you search for "A Bride for the Fairy" on emeraldisle dot ie, you can find one version of the tale.
Once Cody realizes that, so long as he possesses the leprechaun's gold coin, the leprechaun can't hurt him, he makes his way into the leprechaun's lair where Bridget is being held prisoner. Before he can find Bridget, however, Cody is attacked by a skeleton doing the leprechaun's bidding. When he manages to fell the skeleton, he is encased in a tangle of tree roots. When the tree roots turn out to be an illusion, he finally stumbles upon Bridget, who is collared to a large tree root. Suddenly, the leprechaun corners Cody, demanding that he return his coin. Bridget, who has been picking at her collar with a broken awl, breaks off the collar, throws it at the leprechaun's head, and runs. Cody follows. The leprechaun dusts off his hat and pursues them both ("A game of hide-and-seek! How lovely!"). Wherever Cody and Bridget run, they end up back in the same place. In their mad dash to find an exit, Bridget and Cody get separated. When they meet up again, Bridget convinces Cody to leave the coin behind on the supposition that the leprechaun will stop chasing them if they give him what he wants. When Cody is reluctant to part with the coin, the only thing that is keeping the leprechaun from harming them, Bridget turns on the charm and kisses him, so Cody hands her the coin. Bridget backs away and starts to laugh. "You Lose!", she says and turns into the leprechaun. The leprechaun knocks Cody across the room and then goes after Bridget, intending to lead her to their wedding bed. Suddenly, Cody jumps up and shoves an iron crowbar through the leprechaun's chest. As the leprechaun begins to sizzle, Cody points out that the gold coin he gave him was actually the gold-covered milk chocolate that a St Paddy's Day reveler had given him earlier. Together, Cody and Bridget run out of the lair, and the leprechaun explodes behind him. In the final scene, Bridget asks Cody how he knew that the illusionary Bridget wasn't really her kissing him, and Cody informs her that her kisses are different. She then asks him whether he's going to keep the coin. "It's not worth it," Cody replies and tosses it on the ground.
