Leprechaun: Death to he who sets a Leprechaun free. Steal his gold, it will corrupt your soul, you see. For many a moon the legend has grown, death toll increases, solution unknown. Beware the evil wanderer in search of his loot, lest you suffer the wrath of his golden flute. Flee while you can, the future's not good- for no one is safe from a Lep in the Hood!

A Masterpiece

I knew just from the title that this would be one of the favorites to win Best Picture. After seeing it, I couldn't have hoped for more. Ice-T gives a riveting performance as a complex hardcore gangster reminiscent of his role in Trespass and Ricochet. He is complemented by the unparallelled skills of Warwick Davis. Just to name a few memorable lines, " a friend with weed is a friend indeed," and "If I don't get my schillings, there's gonna be some killings." In one scene Ice-T shows his great theatric range, " we rappin about shootin ya homey in his face and slappin yo bitch,"...what a performance. To top it off, the Leprechaun smokes weed with Ice-T and busts out a tight freestyle in the final scene.."lep in the hood, up to no good." ....A must see!
