Trivia:

According to Dave Tripet, the executive in charge of production for the first three movies, this film originally started out as a spoof of Apollo 13 (1995). A senior Trimark executive saw the promo art for Apollo 13 and immediately had artwork made up replacing Tom Hanks's face on the poster with the Leprechaun's face, and this is what started the script work for the movie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: At one point in the movie, the leprechaun seems to either fly or jump really far across the screen. As he does so, the thick cable attached to him is visible.

Quotes:

Staff Sergeant Brooks Malloy: I am not defensive and I will shoot anyone who says I am defensive.

Movie Connections:

Spoofs The Fly (1958)

My brain tried to jump from my skull...

This movie hurts. Bad. If you watch it without the sound, it will remind you of a high school film. If you pay attention to the dialogue, you will wonder who's retarded parrot threw these words together. As I watched this film, I slowly felt my brain trying to tear itself from my head. As the movie progressively burnt my flesh, I came to realize that there is no movie worse than Leprechaun 4. Save yourselves and don't see this movie!! Even the "Behold my breasts and tremble" scene doesn't make this movie worth it. Not so bad it's good, but so bad it is excrutiatingly painful to watch.
