Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stevieboy666 I know a lot of people consider this to be the best of the series, which let's face it doesn't say much, but I personally preferred the original movie by a whisker. This starts off 1000 years ago where the little Irish fella is trying to get himself a wife. Fast forward to present day (well 1994) Los Angeles and he's got his sights on pretty Bridget (Shevonne Durkin), trouble is she has a boyfriend who will do anything to protect her. Plenty of fun & gory moments to be had here.

Eddie Cantillo Leprechaun 2 (1994) Starring: Warwick Davis, Charlie Heath, Shevonne Durkin, Sandy Baron, Clint Howard, Adam Biesk, James Lancaster, Linda Hopkins, Kimmy Robertson, and Tony Cox Directed By: Rodman Flender Review THIS TIME... LUCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Hello Kiddies your pal The Crypt-Critic here with so much gold and riches I'm surprised I don't have a bride yet. But then again I just hope she loves corny movies as much as I do heh he he. A thousand years ago, the Leprechaun left a bloody trail when he ripped through the countryside in search of his stolen gold. Now he's back in the big city using all of his deadly tricks to snare a girl named Bridget who is dating our protagonist Cody. When Cody goes to see Bridget after disappointing her by canceling a date Bridget is taken by the Leprechaun to be his bride. During that encounter Cody manages to obtain a piece of the Leprechauns gold. Now Cody and Marty must get to the Leprechauns tree to save Bridget. I'm not going to lie this movies bad, but damn it I've always thought of even the first Leprechaun and now this sequel as so bad it's good kind of movie, it's really corny it's really stupid but It does have one or two good things about it. The make-up effects are good on the Leprechaun and the acting isn't all that bad in my opinion I'm pretty sure when this was being filmed that the actors were clearly having a good time I mean Warwick Davis had to be having fun with this role if he came back for a sequel. As to why there made I'm pretty sure it's because well when horror movies made a comeback in the 80s and 90s with slashers and ghosts they always had a sequel and this was no exception. I especially love how everything in the film feels practical and no CG to be seen. Leprechaun 2 is not a good film in the slightest it's hokey, stupid, but with the make-up, practicality, and the acting to me ti's just so bad it's good.

lost-in-limbo What am I doing watching this film? I disliked the first film, and I've seen "In Space" which was completely stupid. So far what I've seen, hasn't clicked. This first sequel is an improvement, but not by much. Mediocre at best, nothing flashy. This time there's some sort of narrative attached, if trivial and slight, but it bears no relation to the first film other than having Warwick Davis' fiendish leprechaun returning to cause havoc. Dead bodies begin piling up and the jokey humour looms large. It clearly plays for cheap laughs and jolts. This time it's set in the big smoke, where the centuries old leprechaun finds himself in Hollywood on St Patrick's Day to claim a bride who sneezes three times. This feature is playful, crude, risqué and mean-spirited, but moves at a welcoming pace. The make-up effects stand-up really well and the set designs, especially the hidden lair demonstrated some visual candy. In the title role Davis is having fun, spitting out those witty puns and it shows with him being truly being unrecognisable in costume. While the rest of the cast are acceptable, without making all that much of an impression. Although Shevonne Durkin sure was easy on the eyes. Still there are a lot of TV stars showing up in small/cameo parts. The eccentric set-pieces do standout more so than the story, but there is some creativity and twisted ideas around its daftness. Too bad I find it all to end on a whimper though, after a smart gag to outwit the leprechaun.

Christopher Smith I caught this for the first time in years as part of Syfy's Saint Patrick's Day movie marathon today and, despite expecting the absolute worst, I was somewhat surprised that it remains mildly entertaining. It's still not a great movie at all, but it's not quite as bad as its reputation. If nothing else, Leprechaun 2 is a major improvement upon the first, and definitely the best in the Leprechaun series.Director Rodman Flender opens the picture well enough with a prologue that takes place in Ireland. The prologue and the opening credits sequence are goofy, fun, ridiculous, and unfortunately, also the best part of the entire film. Once the two teenage protagonists are introduced, the next 75 minutes or so never measure up to what came before it. From seeing Rodman Flender's much more enjoyable later work like Idle Hands, it's hard to tell just how much of Leprechaun 2 is supposed to be intentionally bad. Warwick Davis is creepy as the evil leprechaun (though the make-up on his face looks like Play-Doh), but some of the other performances are so wooden that I wouldn't be surprised if Flender wanted the acting to be bad as part of the "B" movie tradition. As with the first Leprechaun flick, the characters are annoying which makes it hard to really care for any of them. The story itself is decent even without a whole lot of logic to the proceedings. What hurts the flick more than anything is the poor effects. Whether it's the fact that the film is almost twenty years old or the film didn't have the budget it probably needed, everything looks super cheap, so much so that I find it hard to believe this received a theatrical release. Scenes that could have been cool or scary end up laughable and groan-worthy. The big scenes that don't rely on special effect are rather well done. The bar scenes and the go-cart scenes are the most entertaining to watch, mainly since they are the few parts that show some creativity. Despite the many flaws, Leprechaun 2 is still better than it could have been considering that it's a sequel that was produced and released a mere year after the original. Besides, any movie that features random appearances by both Tony Cox (of Bad Santa fame) and Michael McDonald has at least a little value to it. Recommended for Saint Patrick's Day viewing only. 5/10
