    Leprechaun 3 continues in a big location, making it pretty fun. Las Vegas is a great setting for a killer leprechaun movie. It allows the film to play with themes such as greed and temptation in an appropriate setting. The leprechaun is kept busy for a while as we are introduced ...( read more)to other characters. The film conjures up some new mythology and magic, keeping it fresh if a little contradictory to the films before it. Now leprechauns are like werewolves, as our hero starts to turn into one after a nasty bite. The real highlight is a partnership that really should be remembered as one of the great buddy acts. A loan shark and his heavy share such chemistry and warmth it is genuinely funny and endearing. A great continuation, even if the familiar parts drag.

    The Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) returns to find peoples' unlucky sides in Las Vegas. There are some funny deaths with a magician act, a sexy robot girl and a facelift operation. It's almost as fantasy as an Elm Street movie. I wish they showed some more famous landmarks of Vegas o...( read more)n our tour.

    This one was just as good as the last one and once again I laughed quite a bit which was good to see some scenes I couldn't stop laughing in.

    Again it wasn't masterpiece and I'm not expecting any Leprechaun to be fantastic but I do hope quite a bit from them and don't expect m...( read more)any of them to be bad.

    The story could of been better in parts the film wasn't completely flawless but I just enjoyed it because it was funny and the Leprechaun was very well portrayed.

    Overall this was good it could of been better but it was still good enough for me to reccomend it.

    Leprechaun 3 is not a great movie, in fact none of the Leprechaun films are good. ou only watch one to see how absurd it can get or just for the Leprechaun himself. Each movie is fun and isn't meant to be taken seriously. The idea of a Leprechaun killing people for his gold is me...( read more)ant to be laughed at and enjoyed for what it is.

    In the third installment in the Leprechaun franchise, we find Scott, an underage gambler who has been snuck into the casino by his friend Tammy. Scott is told not to gamble but quickly does and loses all of his money. He finds a Leprechaun's coin and makes a wish. Soon, the Leprechaun is back and is killing everyone who touches his coin.

    This one's a little different from the previous two. It introduces new mythology and folklore like: if bitten by a Leprechaun you can turn into one and if you find a Leprechaun's coin, you get one wish. The characters exploit the latter many times in this movie. Many of them wish for whatever they want but are soon met by the evil dwarf.

    I liked the sequels more than the original movie only because they are more fun and have a more entertaining atmosphere. The Leprechaun, played again by Warwick Davis is funny as hell and is always enjoyable. This one also stars Caroline Williams from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 fame. She does an excellent job in her role and so do many of the other actors, even though most of the acting is horrible.

    The death scenes in this movie are funny much like the deaths in The Nightmare on Elm Street sequels. They are mildly gory but are nothing compared to deaths in something like Dawn of the Dead. Out of the three Leprechaun movies I`ve seen this one is probably the goriest but the movie does not solely focus on the violence element.

    I`ve seen the first three Leprechaun movies and I think I like this one the most just because it`s so damn fun. The Leprechaun in Las Vegas is great. The plot is decent and the deaths are alright. The thing that I really like about these movies are the soundtracks. The old Irish tunes playing during the credit sequences and the fast paced music during the scenes with the Leprechaun really make these movies special.

    8 / 10

    Finally on its third sequel, a Leprechaun movie is made which is up there, if not better with the original. The wonderful Warwick Davis returns as the monster Leprechaun, with the standard "hunt for gold coin" storyline being placed in Las Vegas. Whilst not laugh out loud funny, ...( read more)Leprechaun 3 does have its moments, as well as the bad acting mostly gone, which keeps you entertained.

    This was a step in the right direction. It's still cheap, but it's never boring, Warwick Davis is excellent, and the gore is definitely satisfying.
