Leprechaun

According to Warwick Davis, There were many conflicts between the production and the distribution company Trimark Pictures. The production wanted to make a horror movie with many gore elements similar to the Friday the 13th saga or A Nightmare on Elm Street, while Trimark wanted something similar to Critters or Gremlins that were horror comedies suitable for all audiences, several versions of certain scenes and it was with editing that a mixed variety of gore and humor were added. the movie was originally planned as a straightforward horror film, but Davis sought to add more comedic elements. Mark Jones agreed with this tonal shift, and they shot it as a horror comedy. Several scenes had to be re-shot after the producers insisted that the film be made gorier to appeal to older audiences.

When the leprechaun climbs down the chimney and Nathan shoots him, he falls near the other room. A shot from above shows him in the middle of the room.

The MPAA database shows that an edited version of the film that they rated "PG-13" was submitted. This version does not appear to have been ever released.
