    I don't know why Leprechaun is in space. Nor do I care. What I do care about is how wonderfully deranged the film is. Alien princesses, cross-dressing, and an alien spider man thingy. It doesn't really feel like a Leprechaun film, the Leprechaun is quite toned down. He doesn't ev...( read more)en rhyme a lot here. Nobody seems to question the absurdity of a killer leprechaun in this film. perhaps it's just become that common. The effects are alright for the cheap piece of rubbish this is. Also it has DeeJay from Streetfighter. WORD!

    I think I saw this one. Pretty sure warwick davis comes out of a guys crotch when he's about to get some. That gets it a free star.

    Pinhead and Jason did it, so why not the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis). There are nods to the Alien movies and Star Wars, but it creates its own legacy, as a comedy space horror b-movie with a killer Leprechaun. There are some cheesy plots about a space princess, young recruits, a g...( read more)iant Leprechaun, and a mad scientist with gooey genetic experiments. There are enough weird deaths and action to fill in the movie nicely. It's cornier than I expected.

    Films like this make you wonder one thing - how could people be so moronic to waste their time and money in producing garbage like this and then promote it with the title of being a 'movie'. This is the definition of how everything in a movie can go wrong, no matter what the reas...( read more)ons for making said film are. Who cares if this was meant to be cheesy fun, it's deplorable nature makes even the most drugged up of people cringe in awkwardness. Easily one of the worst movies ever made.

    Second best for me out of the Leprechaun films.

    Alot didn't like this film but I laughed all the way through it and really enjoyed it.The Leprechaun movies isn't going to be for everyone but these Leprechaun movies are deffinitlly for me.

    This movie for me had everything wh...( read more)at I wanted it had pretty good acting with a very interesting script and it was so funny I love these films.

    It was really nice to see the Leprechaun once again punishing people for taking his gold but this time he was punishing them in space which I found much more exciting.The things he got up to when in space was just amazing and so funny and the humour in it is deffinitlly for me.

    The thing I like about these movies is they don't try and be serious but they try and make people laugh instead.
    because its classed as a horror people excpect these movies to be scary but it is actually a comedy,horror so it isn't meant to be really scary it may have a few scenes that will scare a few people but it is meant to be more funny than scary I would say it will not be your usual horror even though its in the horror genre.

    This film is made more for comedy fans I would say it just as a little touch of horror not much its more of a comedy but hardcore horror fans still may find this movie entertaining.

    Overall I thought the script the acting and the humour was great in this so I will deffinitlly reccomend this film.

    Ugh, someone should tell them that crack kills...They should never have written the first one. Just stupid..."

    Thank God Warwick Davis went on to play Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films because with the Leprechaun series, his career was sinking faster than a concrete block. The first "Leprechaun" was popular in its day because of its originality, but it was nothing special. Th...( read more)en, "Leprechaun 2" was made, and folks started realizing how bad the movies were. Things only got worse from there, and "Leprechaun 4" is the king of the crap. The film takes a ridiculous premise and crushes it with terrible acting and dialogue and an even worse story. I was praying for one redeeming scene, but the movie only got more and more wretched as it went along. However, I can't say that I was expecting much out of the movie. I don't really know why I watched it. I was bored and it was on SyFy. Still, I would rather watch this than "BloodRayne." But on any day, I would rather eat my toenail clippings than watch either. "Heck nah."

    Haha, Jesuschrist... this film is so bad! I swear that the final scene will make you laugh (it almost worked on me...) Best part of everything is: more sequels were released :D! Yeah! More Leprechaun action brilliance.

    After a fun and entertaining sequel, the Leprechaun franchise has hit a big low. Deciding to send the Irish monster into space, the fourth entry includes a large mixture of bad acting, bad effects and just a plain bad script. Instead of enjoying the sequel, you just sit there ask...( read more)ing "why?", not just for yourself, but also for the characters.

    Pretty lame, even compared to the second film, but there were some excellent moments that elevated it a bit.
