And while other horror franchises might show signs of decline well before their third outings, this one lucked out and delivered yet another instance of wicked entertainment.

Rated: 3/5

Film Inquiry

The premise is intriguing, both in location and compounding of the Leprechaun mythology, but nothing truly develops into anything fun, intriguing, or worth watching.

The directness with which this went to video is apparent in nearly every single element.

If "Leprechaun" 1 and 2 are clunky, why expect this one to be even as good? It isn't.

Leprechaun 3 is the third film in the cult horror-comedy series, and this time the wisecracking, murderous leprechaun takes his gold-hunting mayhem to Las Vegas. The setting makes for plenty of campy fun, since Vegas is full of greedy gamblers and shady characters — perfect targets for the leprechaun’s tricks. Like the earlier movies, the tone is over-the-top rather than scary. Warwick Davis once again steals the show as the leprechaun, bringing a mix of menace and silly rhymes that have become the series’ trademark. The special effects are low-budget but creative, and the kills are cartoonish and outrageous, leaning more toward black comedy than straight horror. The plot is thin — more an excuse for a string of gory gags and one-liners — but fans of cheesy ‘90s horror will appreciate its self-awareness and camp value. It’s not a polished film, but if you enjoy “so-bad-it’s-good” movies with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor, Leprechaun 3 delivers. Verdict- A goofy, trashy horror-comedy best enjoyed with friends who like B-movies. Not for serious horror fans, but entertaining for those who embrace the ridiculous.

This one, yet again, isn’t good but isn’t the worst one in the franchise, no redeeming qualities in my opinion other than he’s in Vegas and he goes to a casino.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Another terrible installment...but I did enjoy seeing Lee Armstrong running around in her little outfit the entire movie. Better than 2.
