Love how he’s still using the same voice for the good leprechaun as the evil one making me think they’re the same person
Could be a prequel
@@Valkbg
Wait, so it took having to spend time with Tim Matheson and his daughter to turn Warwick Davis evil?
Actually, that makes sense
@@matthewmoran5297 The gardener helped quite a bit IMO
@@Valkbg True
Mabey Warrick Davis's Leprechaun got a hold of The Tiger Talisman in Jackie Chan Adventures. Because he has Dead Pool's powers of not only Breaking The 4th Wall but crossing between movie realities like Dead Pool does in DEAD POOL 2. And The Tiger Talisman spilt The Leprechaun's Yin from his Yang and The Leprechaun in this movie is his Good Side. That's my head cannon anyway, and I've never even seen this movie. I DARE ANYONE TO COME UP WITH A BETTER THEORY.
Coming this fall to CBS one's a good-looking, painter one's a bumbling doofus,
and the other is the boy with a heart of gold.
Top it all off with a psychotic killing leprechaun and you
have the hit family sitcom of the year,
three guys that paint!
coming this fall CBS.
Welcome home!
Classic
Truly the most terrifying of the leprechaun films.
Kinda like how we had two Jack Frosts. The Killer snowman one and then the family friendly one with Michael Keaton. The Michael Keaton one was way more terrifying and that's not the one where one of the sled bullies gets their head decapitated by the snowman!
Many moons ago, Brad mentioned on the commentary for the Nostalgia Critic "Leprechaun" review that he might look at this one someday.
14 years ago, man how time files.
Good times
“This had a very Disney Channel movie feel to it” Well now I want him to watch Luck of the Irish
I remember when he reviewed the 1st Leprechaun Film with Nostalgia Critic so many Years back
Yup. Especially their reaction to the "F*ck you lucky charms" lines. Their reaction is still gold :-)
Speaking of more comedic Jason ideas…
There was an attempt to make a Cheech and Chong/Friday the 13th crossover in the 80s…
Yes! That almost happened!👀
That's sounds amazing.
No way! They totally should've made it!!!
Never knew Warwick Davis did a family Leprechaun movie.
Yeah, it was called Leprechaun in da hood.
Looks like Patrick Star is gonna be haunting The Cinema Snob's nightmares.
M-O-O-N!
14:59 Anyone else see the string pulling the starfish?
To quote the Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob's original 2010 review of Leprechaun (1993)... He actually looks scarier here in the kid's film than he does in the horror film!
And then you see it and yeah, he's creepier, but STARFISH makes him look completely normal by comparison.
In fact, did we get the right Version?
The perfect movie to make your friend that has heard of leprechaun but hasn't seen it watch.
Seeing that Starfish at the end.........OH DEAR GOD!!!!!
Christ, that starfish is creepier than the flesh pods from eXistenZ! This is what happens when an excess of whimsy slams headfirst into a cripplingly low budget.
eXistenZ was so good. It dealt with similar themes to the Matrix, but did it better at a fraction of the budget. I need to watch it again. The gun with teeth sticking out of it that Jude Law pulls out of his Chinese food is so gnarly.
This movie is the most scary leprechaun movies
The starfish was more frightening than anything in any of the other leprechaun movies. Thanks Snob!
Now that Brad’s a dad this is the only Harry Box he’s watching lol
Now I'm envisioning some poor unsuspecting parents telling their kids "that was fun, let's go watch the other movies in the series"
The fact that Warick Davis plays a Leprechaun in this movie as well as the Horror series is comedy......gold?! Ehh? Ehh?......I'll let myself out.
I'll give you that one
the comment here
it made me spit
some of my pepsi
and lose my sh*t
so I think you did a good job lol
Sad thing is Warick Davis's Leprechaun horror series was horror comedy, not just horror, and Snoob, and Critic took it way too seriously, and it got worst in the reboot
All that cart race needed was Dave "Meat Hardbulge" Ryder in his Enforcer chasing after Kalgan to bump this film up in quality.
This is looks like the perfect spring movie for kids. And when I was in my early 20s, I had a crush on Tim Matheson a while back. And why does the Leprechaun with the little girl in this kid's film reminds me of Drop Dead Fred (1991) and Oh, God Book II (1980)?
Chose to watch this on St. Patrick's Day 2024! 🍀
I think this movie ranks up there with other movies I saw at the Video Store but never rented. Kind of odd that Warwick Davis did this between "Leprechaun 4: In Space" and "Leprechaun: In The Hood", but hey seeing play a more good hearted Leprechaun in interesting, and the fact this movie did spawn sequel is fascinating.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🪙🌈🍀🍻
I don't know why RUclips won't show me your videos in my feed. I love you stuff dude
This movie needed a few Silver Shamrock masks for added entertainment value!
Now that song's in my head. .....I hate you. Lol
Or more like shock value.
Drinking Game: Take a drink everytime Warwick Davis makes an "o" shape with his mouth. Good luck!
"A friend with weed is a friend indeed."
Based words to live by. I salute all my friends who burn the good green while enjoying our based Brad.
Forget the leprechaun. The beginning of this film had me waiting for the appearance of Rawhead Rex.
The circle is now complete
I wonder what Harry Box is up to these days
This looks similar to Fairy King of Ar, or whatever the movie with Malcom McDowell was called, just less CGI and more Warwick Davis.
I watched this on Tubi. I am so very happy Snob covered this
Hey, glad you liked the beer wolf commercial! This was a fun B movie review, and I enjoy the vintage commercials peppered through! Feel free to use any commercials I post, they're meant to be enjoyed!
What, no "Speed Racer" snark when the bullies use gadgets during the soapbox derby race?
Anybody else think the same thing when looking at the talking starfish's lips?
I was looking for such a comment. I was shocked that Brad didn’t make a sexual joke about it.
The mayors plans aren't that outlandish during the 90's houses in Ireland weren't built fast enough to the point there is now around 200,000 empty homes in Ireland.
Boy, I missed out on that awesome St. Patrick's Day beer wolf:):)
Man, I TRIED this way back after Minty Comedic Arts mentioned it, but...I couldn't stand anything about it but Lucky. He reminds me exactly of Munchie (I sure HOPE someone did that on purpose given it's the same company, but goody if only I see it because I love Munchie), but it immediately became one of those movies that I skip through to only watch HIM;) Poor Lucky, when I like 'Munchie' all the way through...too bad the people who made 'The Little Vampire' didn't make it, because if it was JUST like THAT in every way I'd ADORE it!
Leprechaun Origins was arguably just capitalizing on the association, has no real resemblance to any of the prior ones. Leprechaun Origins does recast the Leprechaun, but it's meant to be a direct sequel to the first one. They only kept one original actor, Ozzie, the mentally challenged heavyset guy
I don't know what is worse getting tycasted as a Leprechaun or not being the Leprechaun
I love All of Stoned Grimlen Productions videos.
Director: "Hmmmmm, I should turn this movie into a horror flick."
The little guy looks like Ronnie James Dio!
The EVIL one is his EVIL TWIN! 🤣
I don't know if you were just joking, but that Bloodfist thing looks like something right up your alley. You should totally review those.
Can't believe The Little Vampire ripped off this film, just 2 years later!
• American family with single child moves to Ireland/Scottland
• The boy/girl has problems fitting in at new school and is picked on by bullies
• Kid meets supernatural being who appears to be human and quickly befriends them
• Supernatural being helps kid with their problems, such as their bullies
• Villains show up and supernatural being helps kid and family deal with bad guys
To think that Davis was case twice in two movies about leprechaun is kind of crazy
I am shocked that this movie wasn't sued by General Mills for the trademark infringement of "Lucky the Leprechaun."
I mean...if he wasn't promoting cereal or saying the catch phrase, it's probably distinct enough. And trademark I think is pretty specific anyway with design
Everytime a leprechaun movie, any leprechaun movie, comes up, I buy a shamrock shake and enjoy the show.
Wow, I did not remember this movie as well as I thought I did. Granted I think I watched it a max of three times when I was a kid.
Well, this is something I wasn’t expecting. I remember watching this one when I was little.
Hello Stoned Gremlin!
That's father Fay from Father Ted never heard him speak before.
Hi Brad! Happy St Patty's Day! I'm writing this to let you know that on Tubi there are 2 shot on Shitteo films directed by a friend of ours, Kelly Thompson. They are called Tinkerman and Ruby's Universe. My husband Bobby and I got to act in the latter.😊
Good prequel for the other leprechaun movies. At the end of this, he vanishes and actually ends up in purgatory with the waiter and violinist where he slowly goes mad.
Makes sense to me.
I love it honestly.
So I guess we're waiting until March 2025 for The White Pony.
Exactly what I was thinking. Brad should have fun pointing out that the pony "princess" Sorica has a 5th leg 😂😂😂😂

Made with HARPA AI
Makes me wonder how many clueless grandparents accidentally got their grandkids leprechaun movies from the wrong series, mockbuster-style.
The fingers on that AI leprechaun image were wild
I did not know they made of family-friendly version of leprechaun
It reminds me of Munchies, an R-rated sci-fi horror film getting a sequel years later and just simply being called "Munchie" and becoming a PG-rated family friendly film with an entirely different plot and alien creature.
I'm finally early enough to tell you how great you are and you might see it.🎉
Amazing video review of a very unlucky leprechaun movie,Cinema snob,fantastic job.
I love it when you review kid movies because your levels of wtf go way up, resulting in hilarity.
I was wondering if Snob was going to make a To Catch A Yeti reference because this movie seems similar to that one.
I'd think it'd be cool if you reviewed the movie "Stay Tuned."
3:23 He's promoting Dolby Stereo with his hat.
Been waiting years for this video & I’m so happy it’s here. Thank you sir.
Harry Box? Where's Beavis and Butt-Head when you need them?
You should also review Leapin' Leprechauns as well as its sequel, Spellbreaker.
Well, I kinda like the idea of a convoluted plot there main heroes loose every time because of the lack of four-leaf clover, and once they get it, the movie repeats itself with good ending. That would unironically make for a good horror Leprechaun movie.
Whoop whoop us broke gang finally get to eat our lucky charms.
15:00 You can clearly see the string lifting the starfish.
I so want the OSW to see this.
Yo, Brad, you're looking good!
I hope next year you reviewed the Leprechaun movie from the movie studio who made the Winnie the Pooh horror movie. Yes this exists!
I hope Leprechaun Returns is next year! He already missed an opportunity to review Origins for its 10th anniversary! I can understand him skipping Origins. That's not even a real Leprechaun movie nor is there any actual good reviewing material to come out of that trash. It's almost as bad as Jeepers Creepers: Reborn! Yes, almost THAT bad!
1:00: Not to be confused with the Lucky Charms Leprechaun of the same name (Lucky C. Leprechaun).
I had no idea this existed.
harry box
Was not expecting a Mr. Boogidy reference
Oh man I was was hoping for a wood rocket cross over. 😢😈😉
There probably is one…
@@dancepiglover maybe it's time to bring it to light. 😉
@@humanwolf1984 Let’s try to think of titles.
Wait we could have had Jason goes to camp & Ernest takes Manhattan???
The 2nd movie of my childhood to get me in trouble screaming "the mega bitch!"
"Begone evil one!"
Looking at this all I could think of was Rawhead Rex
I know Tim Mathesun as Larry The Undead Spy from BURN NOTICE.
Fuck Why, you bastard?!?!
I only have a limited time between work and sleep, and I'm trying to balance PS5 and Switch. It's got Mario Tennis now?
I thought you were just kidding about this...
Edit: I'm watching it.
Yes, both Mario Golf and Mario Tennis (the Game Boy Color ones) with the RPG elements Nintendo won't even bother to add to the newer ones.
Will there be a complication of snob's leprechaun movies someday Brad? Course when you have time to do that..
0:38 honestly, i'd watch that
I live in Ireland and Green Glen is such White American name for a town. Why not Rainbow road or Shamrock Street?.
IM THE LEPRECHAUN!
I wouldn't mind watching a Leprechaun movie where the Leprechaun kills people using Stephen King monster references.
Kings bully's for life
I saw a movie recently called "The Leprechaun's Game". The font is directly ripping Leprechaun, and the poster is trying to make it look legitimate.
No idea on the movie quality though.
Also it was directed by brain kelly who made his director debut Who
Went to be a tv director.
The lead character looks like Adam/Alec Baldwin from Beetlejuice.
Running to their mom's basement Panic Room with their woke alarm blaring😂😂😂
How about next March you should do troma “Getting Lucky” 1990?
Anyone remember the TV movie about Leprechauns where they were at war with faeries and Whoopi Goldberg played a banshee
How has cinama snob not done starship troopers?
21:56 they made a sequel
Heheheheheh Harry Box heheheheheheheh
I smell Dreamer as the future Patreon Poll Melodramatic 80s Viewer's Pick...
He's reviewed that one.
He did Dreamer a few years ago already.
