Trivia:

When Cody and Bridget are talking after the film's prologue, a bus passes by with a billboard poster of Geronimo: An American Legend (1993) along with the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) being displayed at a local theater.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: A direct quote from the first movie reveals the leprechaun's age to be 600 years, not 2000. It is, however, never stated that this is the same Leprechaun from the first film. The fact that the Leprechaun was killed in the first film, supports this.

Quotes:

Cody: Everything is a scam to you, isn't it?
Morty: Damn right.

** out of ****

Why couldn't this movie pick up where "Leprechaun" left off? I was confused and disappointed to see this film start off with a completely different leprechaun who just happens to look like the original. Although this film is flawed and not as imaginative and atmospheric as the first, it still remains watchable. It helms a slightly decent plot, has a few genuine "jump" scenes, and features crisp, bright costumes and sets. The problem with the leprechaun series is that it takes the leprechaun to new and uninteresting heights when it should try recapturing the atmosphere and fear the original was able to deliver.
