Warwick Davis helps keep the film alive

Leprechaun 2 (1994, Dir. Rodman Flender)

In search for his stolen pot of gold, the Leprechaun left a bloody trail wherever he went. That was a thousand years ago. Now, a thousand years later, the Leprechaun is back in search of a wife. He finds someone he likes the look of, but when her boyfriend steals one of the Irish monster's precious gold coins, things begin to turn ugly. In order to marry his new bride, the Leprechaun must do whatever he can to get his coin back. Even, if it means killing a few people.

I'm not sure how famous the 'Leprechaun' series is, but the original film has spawned one theatrical sequel and many straight to video sequels. This movie is the first sequel and is currently the last movie which was theatrical. The fist movie wasn't exactly a great horror movie. It did however have its moments and was actually entertaining. The second instalment encounters the same problem. The script would never win any awards, and the same goes with the acting (with the exception of Warwick Davis), but the movie is still entertaining. Also, for a low budget film, the effects were actually quite well made, although at times did look rather silly. Warwick Davis reprises one of his most famous roles and successfully continues with the character. This is when the fun in the film comes from. The actions and quotes from the character have been designed so well, that you just can't help but laugh. Definitely is one of the better 'Leprechaun' sequels.

"I'm not an elf and I'm not a dwarf. I'm a leprechaun." – The Leprechaun (Warwick Davis)
