Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Leprechaun-horror-movies-7116285-269-320_9807.jpg\|frame\|"Try as they will, and try as they might, who steals me gold won't live through the night."]] {{quote\|''"Your luck just ran out."''\|Original poster tagline}} Line 15 ⟶ 14: At the start of Part 3, a badly beaten man drops off a rather peculiar looking statue at a Las Vegas pawn shop. He's willing to take whatever the shopkeeper will offer him, but warns him that he must ''never'' remove the gold medallion that hangs around the statue's neck. As soon as he's gone, the shopkeeper does this. The statue comes to life, revealing the leprechaun, who kills him and sets out to reclaim his gold. A new "rule" was added, that said if you get bitten by a leprechaun, you will turn into one, unless you kill him. Also, each leprechaun has a "lucky" gold piece, that will grant whoever holds it one wish. Part 4 is creatively titled ''[[Recycled in Space\|Leprechaun In Space]]'', which shamelessly ripped off the tagline from ''[[Alien]]'', "In Space, No-One Can Hear You Scream". In the future, a team of [[Space Marine~~\|Space Marines~~]]s are searching for an [[Rich Bitch\|alien princess]], who hethe Leprechaun intends to make his bride. Apparently, the more gold a leprechaun has, the more powerful his magic is. Combining her wealth with his own will make him the most powerful being in the galaxy! ''Leprechaun in Da Hood'' takes place sometime between Parts 3 & 4, only the action is moved back to L.A. A local hoodlum (Ice T!) discovers the ~~leprechauns~~leprechaun's gold, and in the ensuing struggle accidentally tosses the gold medallion from Part 3 around ~~it's~~its neck, trapping it in stone. Among his newly acquired treasure, he comes across a golden flute that gives ~~it's~~its owner great musical talent. Flash forward several years, and he is now a successful rap producer. One night, three aspiring singers rob his office in retaliation for denying them a record deal. They steal the flute and the medallion, unwittingly releasing the leprechaun... [[Captain Obvious\|in da hood]]. ''Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood'' is basically a rehashing of Part 2 in the setting of Part 5. And contrary to what Syfy wants you to believe, ''Leprechaun's Revenge'' is not a sequel to ''Leprechaun.'' In 2012, Lionsgate films and WWE films announced they are planning on producing a reboot. ---- {{franchisetropes}} ~~=== This series contains examples of the following Tropes: ===~~ * [[Aerosol Flamethrower]] * [[Agony of the Feet]]: Leprechaun usually goes for the legs. Line 44: * [[Big No]] * [[Black Comedy]]: The films aren't strictly horror. Hell, the Leprechaun chases people on roller skates, wheel chairs and tricycles, performs a rap number and kills one person with a po-go stick. ** The later ones are pretty explicitly self-parody, as well. * [[~~BLAM~~Non Sequitur Episode]]: ''In Space'' manages to be incredibly bizarre even compared to the other films. * [[Bland-Name Product]]: Lucky Clovers cereal. Making it even more obvious is that they refer to Lucky Charms in the dialog: "''Fuck you, Lucky Charms''". * [[Breast Expansion]] Line 104 ⟶ 105: * [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: Leprechaun is fond of these in the first film. * [[Jackass Genie]]: The Leprechaun's preferred style of granting wishes. ** The guy who captures him in a cast iron safe could probably be used as a [[Trope Codifier]] for this. His first wish is for the Leprechaun's pot of gold... so the Leprechaun summons it inside the guy's stomach. The Leprechaun then says he can't get it out of the guy's stomach from inside the safe, the guy will have to wish him out of the safe. He wishes it... oops, says the Leprechaun, safe is cast iron, you'll have to drag yourself over and do the combination. But once you do, second wish granted! For the third wish you want the pot of gold out of you? Okay! SLICE * [[Knuckle-Cracking]] * [[Kryptonite Factor]]: Wrought iron and the four-leafed clovers are the weakness for the Leprechaun.
