 Welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten Horror Movies, and we're continuing our Part 3 theme. But to start things off, what are we drinking today, Justin? We are drinking Shock Waves, German Rogan beer. If you want the recipe, get the link above our heads. Today, we're going to be talking about one of our favorite Part 3's, I think, in any franchise. It is definitely a very underrated Part 3 sequel. It is Leprechaun 3, which came out in 1995. It's directed by Brian Trenchard Smith. He did Night of the Demons Part 2. Stars, the very fantastic and mischievous Warwick Davis. You'd probably all know him from Willow, and he was Wicked, too. John Gatton's is in this, and he plays one of the main characters, Scott. He was the writer for Kong Skull Island, and he did that new Power Rangers movie. Michael Callan is in this. He was in Cat in the Canary, which we reviewed. Click the link to see that one if you want. Carolyn Williams is in this, and she was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too. So Leprechaun 3 starts off with this bum-looking guy walking into a pawn shop in Vegas with this big giant Leprechaun-type statue that has this kind of medallion on it. And he's all beat up, and there's some crotch and everything. So he tries to pawn off this Leprechaun statue. The pawnkeeper is super hard-balling him, only gives him like 20 bucks. The most expensive-looking thing about this whole statue is this medallion that's on it. So of course, the shopkeeper takes the medallion off. That was what kept the Leprechaun in the kind of cement phase or whatever. Cement phase. The Leprechaun comes to life. He starts terrorizing this poor shopkeeper. This off his toe. I like Indian food. It's so spicy. He spits it out. In all this confusion, of course, he leaves behind a gold coin. In the meantime, we get introduced to the main character, Scott. He's driving through Vegas, picks up a Tammy on the side of the road. She's having car troubles. Have you ever blown a rod before? So he ends up driving her to her job, which is at a casino, the Lucky Shamrock. We get introduced to some of the other characters in the casino. Fozio? He always does those hand things. And Tammy, we learn what her job is, and she's Fozio's assistant. We get introduced to Mitch. What the hell is going on here? Scott blows all his money at the roulette wheel. He's like, what am I gonna do? Pretty nice-looking watch there, why don't you go pawn it across the street? The shopkeep is gone. There's one gold coin that the leprechaun lost. Scott ends up taking the coin, and he wishes that he was back at the casino on a winning streak. And all of a sudden, he's there, yeah, and he's got like a pile of chips. Loretta notices it's this gold coin that Scott has that's been allowing him to win. The leprechaun wants his coin back. They show him kind of walking around Vegas. And Vegas is my kind of town! So basically he makes his way to the lucky shamrock following this coin. Everybody who has this coin gets their wish, and the leprechaun, and he's always one step behind, it seems, manages to kill all these people one at a time following his coin. Scott ends up running into the leprechaun in his room, and the leprechaun bites him. Scott stabs him in the forehead with a knife, and his blood comes out and lands on the wound. It starts to transform Scott into a leprechaun as well. We know this because suddenly he has a big potato craving. Potatoes! There ends up being a showdown between the two of them over the gold. It's so fun and it works so well. Yeah. The writing for this movie is so good. Oh yeah, the dialogue is really good. The characters, every character is very good in this movie. Actually the weakest character is probably the main character being Scott, but all the supporting cast, Mitch is great, Fazio is great, Loretta is great, even those two bad ass guys, the henchmen guys, they're great, everyone in this movie is really good. And the movie is coined as a horror comedy, a comedy horror, and that's exactly what it is. The girls in this movie are so fun. When Mitch dies, that whole scene is so amazing. Come and get me, baby. So laying on the bed, don't you remember? It's the love machine. You bitch, you bull brick tease. Loretta's death is super over the top where she wishes she was beautiful again. Yeah, I wish I was mad so I could just screw myself to the floor. But her lips get all big, and her ass gets all so huge, and she just blows up. When those henchmen get it, but the leprechaun takes out his eye with that Shalely thing, and just beats them, basically beats them to death with the Shalely. In this movie, the leprechaun has little limericks, little rhymes, he says throughout the whole movie. Right. The leprechaun are so funny and so well played out. There was once a man from a trance whose balls were made of fine brass. In real story weather, they both clang together, and sparks flew out of his ass. Like they made the leprechaun character way over the top, right, these rhymes. They gave him the Shalely, too, as his own personal weapon. The music in this movie is great because it's a memorable theme. This little rift, this little Irish kind of Celtic style rift. Perfect because it's a little mischievous, right? And that's kind of what the leprechaun is, too. It sort of just works. The setting for this movie is really good. Fuck the hood or in space, Vegas really works for the leprechaun. It's his kind of talent because there's all these like impersonators and all these. It's almost like a circus, basically. He just blends in. Nobody seems to bat an eye that he's walking around and looks all weird and stuff, right? This was also the first out of many straight to video leprechaun movies. Right. But I think it's the best of the seagulls. Yeah, I think so, too. If you like movies like Dr. Giggles. The Silly Kills, The Silly Wine Liners, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. It's a great horror comedy. It's probably one of my favorite horror comedies of all time. Yeah. I put it up there. It kind of looks like Evil Dead 2 and A Return of the Living Dead. Like it's that fun, right? Yeah, and it all works. It all meshes. So check it out. Leprechaun 3. Ha-ha-hee-hee-hee. Nope.
