Leprechaun 2
Well, that ugly little green shithead
is back and here we go with the flashbacks. Turns out a thousand
years ago, he cursed some tool because he tried to steal his gold AND
because he cock-blocked Lep by keeping a potential bride from
sneezing a third time. The curse is simple: Lep will marry his
decedents daughter in 1000 years. Soooo....not much planned in
between that?
The last time we saw Lep, he was
in a burning well. This time, he pops out of a tree in LA. So, yeah,
the transition was flawless. Anyhoo, when he captures his bride to
be, he bundles her up and starts slathering gold all over her. Lep
likes it a little freaky. He realizes he's lost a piece of his
fortune and goes ape-shit and hunts down Cody, our protagonist. Cody,
by the way, is a poor mans Cory Haim.
One thing I noticed is the quality
of F/X and set design. Believe it or not, it actually increased from
the first. I'm sure this is in part because the budget was twice as
high. According to Wiki, the first film's budget was $900k, while the
second was over $2mil.
Are we really just doing this to keep
Warwick employed? Is this what the 90s were for him? I'm almost sorry
for him.
Highlights include:
Dude-bro making out with a running
lawnmower with expected results.
Clint Howard!!!
Wednesday: What the hell is it about
that damn coin?
Oh man, wait until he makes the sudden and inexplicable leap into space.
