Storyline

It was a normal night in Las Vegas, Nevada, all the lights were flashing brightly, until a man with one hand, one eye, and one leg walks into a pawn shop with a statue of a hideous looking Leprechaun. The owner claims it's a good luck charm. The statue also wore a medallion around it's neck. The careless pawn shop owner took off the medallion setting the Leprechaun free, along with his pot of gold that everyone wants and like before, he'll kill anyone who goes near it. Driving into town that night was a young man named Scott who was off to L.A. to go to school. Along the way he meets a sarcastic, but friendly, girl named Tammy. Scott tries gambling but loses everything, so he goes to the pawn shop to pawn his Rolex watch. At the shop, he finds the dead owner and one of Leprechaun's gold coins that grants a wish to its finder.

User Reviews

Better than expected sequel

The Leprechaun runs riot in Las Vegas. This is my favourite entry into the series (I've watched three so far) because it makes good use of its new casino setting and has a more interesting cast of characters than usual. Also featuring a jaw-dropping human-to-leprechaun transformation, and the goriest death so far when a magician literally gets cut in half! Yuck. Plenty of funny one-liners ("Do you have Health Insurance?" "Yes, Green Cross!") and a great cleavage-revealing costume worn by the female lead for 90% of the film make this well worth your time. What was the point in the medallion though, or the completely irrelevant Elvis stand-off? Oh well.. 5/10
