Leprechaun (1993)

Early this morning, a blood stained manuscript of AIM chat logs and text messages arrived at BTF HQ with a note saying "Thanks for assigning this movie, jerk. - Luke."

Your luck just ran out... cuz you rented this movie.

Leprechaun (1993)

By: L. Bradley Phillips (et el)

4:30 PM – Day before review due date.
LBP: “Leprechaun is the heartwarming tale of little people finding acting work.” That is literally all I have for this review.
DJ P: Lol, cool. Print.
LBP: Ha ha yeah. The Leprechaun review is going to be short but not due to laziness.
DJ P: I ran into that problem too. Like there is nothing to say. The movie isn’t even fun to mock.
LBP: Exactly.

5:00 PM
LBP: What did you think of Leprechaun?
TB: The movie or the guy I see every St. Patrick’s Day after I’ve been drinking?  I honestly saw it around 15 years ago.  It was okay, wasn’t scary, more entertaining at times.
LBP: What was that line you loved?
TB: I just remember he rode a trike or big wheel or something like that.  That was about the only funny part.



6:13 PM
LBP: Have you seen Leprechaun?
RR: Sadly, yes.
LBP: That good, eh?
RR: I haven't seen it in a long time, but I can remember no redeeming anything that would convince me to see it again.

6:15 PM
LBP: Have you ever seen Leprechaun?
MP:Yes, as well as a few sequels.
LBP: Thoughts?
MP: They're fun, campy popcorn flicks. I think the first two are a bit darker than the rest of the franchise. Are you talking about the first one?
LBP: Specifically, yes. How was Leprechaun in Space though?
MP: I'm not sure if I saw that one. Was that before or after Leprechaun in the Hood? I would imagine the camp factor would be high in that.
LBP: I believe it was after.
MP: I think that's your answer, lol.

Space is #4.  He goes to the 'Hood in #5 and #6.

6:17 PM
LBP: Have you ever seen Leprechaun?
KH: No. I hear it’s hilarious though.
LBP: Eh, if that is what you have heard you might be severely disappointed.

6:30 PM
LBP: Have you ever seen Leprechaun?
AG: Ha hahahaha, yeah.  Did you see the one with Ice-T?
LBP: No, was that Leprechaun in the Hood?  If so MP had said some really good things. 
AG: Yeah, that's Leprechaun in the Hood, which is ridiculous.  Are you doing reviews for Beyond the Films?
LBP: Yeah, I don't have anything to say about the film really.  Except for, I don't know who this Jennifer Aniston chick is...but she has no future in acting.

7:02 PM
LBP: Have you ever seen the movie Leprechaun?
LC: No, and I have no desire to.
LBP: What were you for Halloween last year?
LC: 80’s Rocker.
LBP: Wanna make out?
LC: No.

Leprechaun was written and directed by Mark Jones (Rumpelstiltskin) and starred Warwick Davis (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Willow) as the titular character.  Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses) also starred.
