Trivia:

According to Dave Tripet, the executive in charge of production for the first three movies, this film originally started out as a spoof of Apollo 13 (1995). A senior Trimark executive saw the promo art for Apollo 13 and immediately had artwork made up replacing Tom Hanks's face on the poster with the Leprechaun's face, and this is what started the script work for the movie.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Kowalski refers to himself as a "Marine". He frequently calls MSGT Hooker "Sarge". "Sarge" is strictly an Army term - a Marine would call a Master Sergeant either "Master Sergeant" or "Top".

Quotes:

Leprechaun: The path to power is often soiled with innocent blood, and I will let nothing stop me from becoming king. I'll have power and glory, and a beautiful queen to share it with. Share... Now there's a word that lies crooked upon me. The very sound of it sends my teeth to grate and conjures up pictures of me gold being carted off to pay for feminine pleasures...

Movie Connections:

Spoofs Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

When I first saw this movie in my local video store... I broke out laughing. I mean really... In Space? And where'd he get that light saber?

Then when they put the bugs in the blender and injected them into the scientist with the princess blood, the person I was watching it with pointed out how there should be a spider/scorpion/smart scientist running around... AND THEN THERE WAS!!! And the guy with the face that got flattened with that tray... hahahahaha... and when the spider/scorpion/smart scientist ate that chicks pants!!! hahahahahahaha And the part with the princess flashing everyone?!? ... that was almost too much entertainment... This receives my best rating ever - 7 THUMBS UP! And that dosen't even figure the part where the leprechaun comes out of the guys crotch!

P.S. If you think I've ruined the film by giving away all the best parts... you're wrong - this film was ruined by the guy who wrote the script... and the director... and all those actors... except the black guy - he was cool.
