So much average

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Absolutely Brilliant!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

OK so this is easily the best movie in this entire series and that's because this is the movie where the series embraces the fact that these movies are just so freaking terrible that they actually end up being entertaining, which is probably why all of the movies in this series after 1 and 2 were released direct to DVD

So this movie features the leprechaun who is now weakened by a medallion as well as his gold being destroyed. I thought he was weak against either four leaf clovers or iron. What is this thing supposed to be defeated by? Oh and he died in the last movie but now he's back. I mean, this guy looks and acts the same as the leprechaun in the previous films. It must be the same character! Anyway, this movie features the leprechaun biting somebody causing him to turn into one. I thought that was vampires, werewolves, and zombies? Well, I guess if they can bite people and make them one of themselves leprechauns can do it too.Dang, the 1995 computers do not hold up. I guess I'll give the movie credit for being slightly better than the last one. This movie features coins that grant wishes. I thought the leprechaun himself granted wishes? Anyway, the main characters actually do use their wishes well and are pretty intelligent. I find the death of the woman with the inflation of the lips, breasts, and butt to be horrifying to watch and not in a good way. The leprechaun loses one shilling just like he did in the first movie. I don't care, these movies suck. *1/2

Stopping at a Las Vegas casino, a hapless young man begins a winning streak after coming to possession with a leprechaun's magic coin that soon turns the other patrons of the casino against each other as the leprechaun continues his quest to find it.This one had some really enjoyable elements about it. One of the better elements here is the fact that it manages to go back to the original's method of including more suspenseful antics here along with the chase in the opening resurrection of the statue in the pawn shop where he begins to chase and stalk the owner of the shop around before the beating that comes to pass. This starts it off nicely, while the hospital confrontations are just as fun with the battle in the morgue really getting some rather enjoyable supernatural brawls that bring his powers to the forefront which is another strong point here. It really into the cheesy side of this one, but it does give this one somewhat of a fun time here by adding another strong supernatural force to this one that matches the leprechaun powers in order to make this a bit more of an even match that adds to the finale instead of it being so one- sided and forcing him to rely on trickery here instead of luck which is how they'd dealt with him in the past. Still, this one really makes the most here by strictly focusing on the cheesy atmosphere present as the fact that this one goes for the different wishes by each of those who come into contact with the coins which allows for the fun of trying to keep the two out his room as he has the coin they want leading to the contamination sequence in the room, the fantasy woman coming to life in the owner's suite being just a ploy against him, and the fates of the unscrupulous ones who take the coin for themselves being quite fun as really goofy, cheesy scene with the finale providing this one with some fine gore that was missing from the cheesy scenes elsewhere,these here give this one enough to like that it really gives this one a lot to really like against the few flaws here. Again, like the others in the series, this one does tend to focus more on cheese than being scary or frightening while also forging new rules for dealing with him that don't make much sense, so they're not as big a deal as the film's rather bland, lifeless first half here where it sets up the down-on-his-luck atmosphere too much and keeps the kills and leprechaun off-screen which drags the pacing off. These are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

Leprechaun 3 is a good installment.Our Leprechaun keeps up with the rhyme scheme, keeps up with the killing, and keeps up with the greed. He's essentially a different Leprechaun than the others, which avoids the picky plot points involved in continuity. We don't have to worry about whether or not Jason dies from the axe wound to his head; this is a different Leprechaun with different weaknesses. This keeps our perspective fresh.I found his setting in Las Vegas perfect. There's no better hive of modern pop culture for Leprechaun to make fun of than Sin City itself. I'm also glad we finally got to see some boobs. I look forward to more of the same stuff in later installments.
