Warwick Davis. How could you have fallen so low? After an excellent acting job as the lead in Willow, you sink down to do five movies in a horror franchise as the Leprechaun. Granted, this series isn’t as bad as one would think [e.n. - how would you know that? you haven't seen any of the othr Leprechaun movies.] —but you could do a lot better. If I ever get famous in Hollywood, I’ll make a movie starring dwarf actors with you in the lead.

Three black guys want to have a successful rap career. A black drug dealer wants has a magic flute that causes the Leprechaun to do his bidding. These two original plots intertwine into a plot that, in the words of Greg, has too much hood and not enough lep.

Considering the focus of this movie, it should have been called “Three Black Guys Trying to Be Rappers.” The humor is not funny, the pace is slow, all with one exception—Warwick Davis. His performance as the Leprechaun in excellent make-up is hysterical with such lines as, “A friend with weed is a friend indeed, but a friend with gold is the best I’m told.” He even ends the movie with a music video.

While this movie is better than anything on BET with the exception of Shaft, the Leprechaun makes more of a cameo until the end of the movie. This is still a very original movie, however.

[e.n. - I doubt that you've ever watched BET]

I give Leprechaun 5: In The Hood ** out of ****.

This movie was terrible. Awful. Horrible. Traumatic.

I cannot even believe this movie got made. I am ashamed to live in a country
where this kind of crap can pass as a makeable movie. I cannot believe that a
local video store carried this rental. But I especially cannot even believe
i actually rented and watched this trash. The worst part of this movie is i
wasted 90 minutes of my life on it and i'm never getting them back. I could
have spent them doing something more useful and enjoyable, such as...well,
just about anything else. I don't even want to talk about this any more.
I'll go back to my long process of forgetting this movie ever existed.

As i'm writing this movie i'm listening to scatman john. You may remember
him for his mid 90's song, I'm the scatman. Well, that song rocked. And so
do all of his other songs. He is one of the truly great musicians of the 90s,
if not all time.

Too much hood, not enough lep.

I give this movie, 0.5 stars out of 4 (it gains a half star, for having a
leprachaun in the movie)
I give Scatman John an emphatic 4 stars out of 4

You'll have to promise me that you will never, ever see this movie.
