Before we see the new Film- which seems to be an actual Sequel-, let's look back at the others.
I've covered most of these in more depth in the past, so this is more about a quick summary and Ranking them in order of quality and/or enjoyment.
This is my Ranking. You've just got to live with it!
7. Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood: It would be easy to say that the Reboot was the worst, but this is just objectively-bad. They're following up that odd Sequel with...another one just like it. It has less charm and, of course, less originality. Warwick Davis can only do so much.
6. Leprechaun- Origins: When you take away Warwick, it doesn't get much better. This Reboot is a Horror Film that tries hard and fails. Recasting is one thing- doing nothing with the new Casting is another. This Plot is also pretty lackluster and the Leprechaun is just a mute monster that we barely see.
5. Leprechaun in Tha Hood: Ice T steals a magic flute to be good at Rap. I could stop there, couldn't I? Should I? Mmm...yes.
4. Leprechaun 3: A decent-ish Film that doesn't do enough with the Premise. The titular killer in Las Vegas- make the most of it. Even now, I struggle to remember much of the Film. That puts it higher than the Films I remember for being bad, but below those that I at least remember *something* good about.
3. Leprechaun 2: Decent, but kind of forgettable for the most part. This one has some good fun, some silly Effects and some good Casting. It also avoids just being a rehash of the Original, which is nice to see. It's just, you know, a Leprechaun Sequel though.
2. Leprechaun 4- In Space: My personal favorite- no lie. It's a bizarre mix of Leprechaun and Starship Troopers- something that I didn't know I needed. It's stupid. It's bad. I don't care- it's great!
1. Leprechaun: Fair is fair. The original has many problems- most notably it's take on the mentally-handicapped- but is still fun. It's a great show of Practical Effects and feels unique for its time. Granted- the Director copied himself on this later. Even so, this silly little Film is still the best when it comes down to it.
Here's hoping the new one doesn't suck!
