Follows Leprechaun 2 (1994)

Better Than The First Two By Far

Leprechaun 3 is just overall SSSSOOO much more enjoyable. I guess because it's so camp and the makers KNEW they were going to make a bad film and just went with it instead of actually trying to make it good, like the second one did, and look how it turned out. Leprechaun 3 is just non-stop laugh out loud entertainment. With rhymes like the leprechaun makes in this one, you can't help but laugh your ass off at how terrible yet extremely hilarious it is. Also, I guess since the acting wasn't as low as you can get it made the movie even more tolerable and likable, and since the leprechaun was more lovable, the film was more lovable. Plus, the main guy in this film is not too bad on the eyes, such as eye candy Jennifer Aniston in the first. Overall, there's got to be SOMETHING everyone should like about this film. Deserves a higher rating than the first and second put together in my opinion.
