Leprechaun 2

I caught a Leprechaun yesterday, and according to tradition I could make three wishes. With a sigh, he stopped struggling and said: "Call out three things you wish for, and I'll give them". I immediately shouted out "Money!" and a bunch of coins rained down. Then I said "A safe to put the money in!" and a safe fell out of the sky and crushed my foot. I yelled "Shit!" and the DVD for Leprechaun 2 appeared. Well played, little fella. Well played.

Leprechaun powers are just whatever the hell the screenwriter had at the end of the rope for that day

I actually liked this more then the original....It's still pretty bad but it's more cheesy and campy Laughed my butt off at the drunk leprechaun scene

Maybe it's the "luck of the Irish" or just severely lowered expectations, but this sequel/reboot to "Leprechaun"(1993) was luckily the entertaining campy B-movie I was promised back with the original. Now with twice the budget, plus new filmmakers with their tongues firmly placed in their cheeks, and we get more fun kills and cheesy Leprechaun one-liners than ever before. Probably best though if you just stop here with "Leprechaun" movies, and save yourself from the future Shamrock shit films.

Amazingly, the atrocity that was the original is granted an okay follow-up. With a reboot, way before they got in fashion, Flender gets everything right. It's campy, occasionally ingeniously directed and the actors actually know what they're doing (I'm looking at you, Jennifer Aniston). Shevonne Durkin, especially, has flair for the material. I still despise Warwick Davis' titular creature but he's more restrained here and the character works much better with the more tongue-in-cheek approach.

Another one of those rare rank-defying movies. With 'Leprechaun 2' it seems that the producers have caught on to their own joke. This has tits, horrible acting (a finger scene is particularly funny), and the delivery of such lines as "How dare you?!" and "He's going to blow!" that seems to stem from camp heaven itself. It is pure leprechaun gold, and as far as bad-good movies goes, this is right up there with 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' parts 1 and 2. Must see.

Bafflingly this film, while still bad on the whole, is decidedly better than the original, far more professional and looking more like a “real” movie in terms of lighting, cinematography, sets, effects, etc. The doubled budget shows. But all that said I mean it’s still a movie about a little super strong dude chasing people around; it has a pretty low quality ceiling.

Simply a rehash of the original which Wasn't too hot in the first place. Don't watch this movie--or for that matter any of the Leprechaun movies--if you have qualms about stupidity.

there's not much to say besides the obvious: it is, indeed, a masterpiece.

A truly horrible little movie. Warwick Davis leads another one of these shitfests into existence, pioneered by horrible acting, some cheesy dialogue, and oddly strange visuals. I'm not a fan, as it really doesn't have any of the same so bad its good moments as the first. Bleh.

Cheesy Gold seems to be the prevalent consensuses but overall this is artificially flavored. Death scenes are comparatively unimaginative and short lived. The lighting is too bright and is very unflattering on Warwick's makeup. The St. Patrick's shenanigans are the biggest improvements to the proceedings and Sandy Baron is the one who really makes the scenes sans-Warwick work. Overall this is a watered down beer for the Lite drinkers on St. Patrick's Day and not for those who enjoy a good stout.

Haha. Man. The Leprechaun is better in this than in the first film, but the male and female lead suck (although the chick's delivery in the last five minutes of the film is bizarre and hilarious) and nothing in it even comes close to topping the original's death-by-pogo scene. Stupid and bad, but in the most good-natured of ways.

A huge improvement on the original. Manages to plant one leg in the tongue in cheek horror/comedy bog and another in the inadvertant laughriot camp. It sucks, to be sure, but in a brisk, delightful way.

A really "good" B-movie about leprechauns... It's a definite improvement after an unremarkable original. Sharpen your ears for some great lines and line readings throughout. "How DAAARE YOU?"

Bad, but bad in a good way. You can definitely see here where the producers of the franchise saw this series going after you watch this film.

Warwick is hard working as hell, he gives it maybe not his 100% but at least his 70%

Oh so you're after me crock of shit boyo?

Agreeable enough slice of horror cheese is never scary, leaning more in to full-on Freddy Krueger camp in Davis' scenery chewing titular character; much more successful at what it is doing than Part 1, but hurt by the weaknesses in all of the elements surrounding Davis, with generally listless performances from the rest of the cast, and lifeless direction otherwise, making this a painless but tepid slog.

I guess it's better, in the sense that losing two limbs is probably better than losing three.

B+

I enjoyed the first one, this one not so much. I suppose it's a so bad it's good movie but for me it was just bad.

This is... one of the most pointless and unnecessary sequels ever. I mean, not even the make-up people give one half of a fuck the day this was shot. Luckily for all of us though, it retains the stupidity and hilarious terribleness that the first one had.

Wow this movie did not hold up. I've only seen this once before back when it first came out and I remember being disappointed by the terrible acting, how goofy, lame and cheap everything was even compared to the messy relatively poor original. I had found this to be bad enough that I had never watched any of the remaining films. My wife however usually loves big, dumb cheesy horror films and she enjoyed the original so I bought the who set for cheap and ... [Full review]

See my review of the original, my opinion was pretty much the same.

I thought I didn't care about the characters in the first one, but I was wrong - Aniston and Co were not THIS irritating. After 15 minutes I wanted everyone to die. The secret to making a successful Leprechaun movie is obviously to keep Warwick Davis on the screen as long as possible. He chews scenery here even more than in the first... and Tony Cox shows up briefly for a hilarious couple of scenes.

Never should have been a sequel, but Warwick Davis deserved some paychecks until Harry Potter time came along.

Absolutely by far the best of the series. Better acting, better plot, better use of the leprechaun and more stupid moments than the first one. And the best scream I have seen in a long time. Worth a watch.

more cheesy lep fun

Better than the first one.

Classic series.

How lame is this? I think I remember them being in a cave or something, and the "bride" couldn't get out or...I dunno.

sucked
