When Dan O'Grady returns to the U.S. after stealing some Irish leprechaun's pot of gold, he thinks he can settle down and enjoy his newfound wealth. He thought wrong. The leprechaun followed him and O'Grady barely gets away with his life, having locked the little monster in his basement. Ten years later, J.D. and his spoiled daughter Tory move in. By accident, the leprechaun is released and almost immediately the annoying creature starts to look for his gold, not displaying any respect for human life. —Peter Zweers <peterz@pi.net>

Trivia
One scene required the leprechaun to find and eat Lucky Charms cereal. General Mills gave them permission, but they were so upset when they saw the finished film that they revoked their permission. The filmmakers re-shot the scene, replacing the brand name with an obvious spoof. They also changed the kid's line at the end from "Your luck just ran out!" to "Fuck you, Lucky Charms!"

Goofs
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.

Quotes

Get "Lucky" with Jennifer Aniston!

"Leprechaun" is Jennifer Aniston's only big screen appearance before she became a star on "Friends", and WOW! she looks hot! I'm not a fan of hers, and I've never watched "Friends", but she is drop-dead gorgeous in this film, 23 or 24 years old and just beautiful! Oh yeah, there's a leprechaun in this movie too...

I really liked this cheap, low-budget B horror flick. It's bad, but I'll be darned if it's not engaging and compulsively watchable. Much of the credit has to go to Warwick Davis, the evil leprechaun. It's not that he's particularly clever or funny, but he's very engaging, and in spite of myself, I kept wanting to see where he'd pop up next, even when it was predictable. I want more Leprechaun, luckily(?) there's another 5 movies to watch in the series. This film is the truest definition of "It's so bad it's good" that I've come across in recent memory. A lot of fun!
