Leprechaun 4 : In Spaaaaaaaaace
 |
| Right...forgot about the .gifs |
How the hell did we get here? In
space? This was a strange byproduct of '90s horror franchises that
ran out of ideas. Jason did it, Hellraiser did it, so this film fell
in line with the others and suited up for interplanetary travel.
Sooo...some idiotic Space Marines or
some such head to planet to save some dim-witted daughter of some VIP
from the gnarly clutches of The Lep. Meh...nobody really cares at
this point. Nobody could POSSIBLY give two tinkers damn about what or
why. During the lame ass firefight with Lep, for reasons unknown, Lep
jumps on a grenade in order to protect his bride to be. Odd, because
he's not known to be selfless. After it explodes, one of the soldiers
urinates on the dismembered body parts and somehow Lep's essence is
transferred to the soldiers....wiener? Well, later on, a reincarnated
Lep just shot out of some poor guys crotch. So, yeah. That happened
and I got to see it.

| <sigh>.........yes, this really happens |
Wacky Leprechaun hijinks follow the
rest of the movie until the end when we're treated to a heavily
mutated Dr. Mittenhand (gwaa, that name!) going on a rampage. He's
been infused with DNA from scorpions, spiders, lions, tigers, oh my.
More fighting, more running, and we end with Lep exploding in space
because that what people believe happens when you're put in a
pressure-less environment. That's not what really happens in space,
but why worry about realism this late in the game.

| This is Dr. Mittenhand. He's a super freak. |
Idiotic over the top military
commander, Super smart and super hawt molecular biologist, these
characters are jerk-ass-tacular. This is the only film (so far) of
the franchise that wasn't released in a consecutive year...It's also
where I sign off of this franchise for the season. There are 3 more
films, and with time I'll find those in the same $5 bin I found this
set.

| Fitting way to end this mini-marathon. I hate you, Lep. |
Friday: Such a literal title...
