as an irish person i can proudly say that this film isnt a horror film...... .......its a documentary

Fun fact: it was originally meant to be a straightforward horror film but Warwick Davis wanted to inject some humor into it. Hence it being horror comedy.

The story behind the line and the cereal: "One scene required the Leprechaun to find and eat Lucky Charms cereal, which the company gave them permission to do. Upon seeing the finished film, the company was displeased and would not allow them to use the scene. The film makers had the choice to either cut the scene or to re-shoot it, costing them more money. They chose to re-shoot it, replacing the brand name with an obvious spoof of the name brand cereal, and, made one last additional surprise ending scene while they were filming. Furious with the cereal company for making them re-shoot the scene, they pulled the kid character aside and had him say a new line. His line, "Your luck just ran out!" was changed to "F*ck you, Lucky Charms!" as an obvious reference to the whole ordeal."

"Fuck you, Lucky Charms". Best line in the entire film.

Hell, I'd watch "Three Guys that Paint"

You know what I just realized? This movie has a fucking enormous plothole. If O'Grady knew that four leaf clovers could kill the leprechaun if it touched his body, WHY DIDN'T HE DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE AT THE BEGINNING??

'About as scary as a midget Lady GaGa' So pretty fucking scary then.

I love Warwick Davis. It’s rare to see an actor who truly loves their craft and that’s Warwick. He’s not in it for the fame or the money, he’s in it because he loves it. Though this is ridiculous, he really did have fun with this movie and it shows. I hope Warwick receives more credits because he deserves it.

Actually, the leprechaun having an obsession with shining shoes is taken from folklore about leprechauns. Why leprechauns in GENERAL have an obsession with shining shoes... I don't know, but then again their basic concept is pretty silly too.

"but, oh no... THE LEPRECHAUN HAS A WHEELCHAIR !" I lost my shit XD

Shame they didn't make a film based on actual Irish stories of fairy and leprechauns, some of those at truly terrifying.

It's a shame they took this film so seriously. This isn't suppose to be a straight up horror film. How could not be?? The leprechaun series is freaking hilarious!

I like the leprechaun movie mainly because I look at it as a comedy not horror

"CAT!" "DOG!" "Whatta you doing?" "I don't know I just thought we were shouting animals." "No, only I may do that." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

From the short research I found, Leprechaun are of the Fey, born from a bad spirit and are neither good or bad but will play mean "pranks" on humans, but to Fey ripping out your heart and sewing it on your sleeve is a joke about "wearing your heart on your sleeve" As much as just magical adding hearts to your shirt. They have a morbid sense of humour and it can be different from Leprechaun to Leprechaun. They are FABLED to be excellent craftsmen of shows and in the 19th century, the joke is that word leprechaun is very close to Shoe-shining in irish so that is where the joke comes from... but that is really... "Debatable."

I think a midget Lady Gaga would be terrifying

Critic: I'm Cinema Snob Snob: I'm Cinema Snob Critic: I'm Cinema Snob Snob: I'm Cinema Snob Critic: I'm Dirty Dan Snob: I'm Dirty Dan....

Doug needs to do more crossovers with Brad Jones.

Pennywise V.S. Leprechaun make it happen

This movie wasn't meant to be taken seriously. It was a dark comedy.

I remember the second one to be much better. The plot was cohesive, the deaths WERE actually inventive and brutal, such as when the Leprechaun uses his magic to trick a guy into thinking a working industrial fan is a naked girl and giving "her" a motorboat... And they even followed Doug's advise and gave Leprechaun a sexual predator vibe by having him kidnap the protagonist's girlfriend and talk about "changing" her so that she'd be his proper bride.

"That's right, folks. This is what's going to try to scare you throughout the majority of the film. A little guy on a tricycle." A TRICYCLE?!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

he shines shoes because thats part of the actual mythology of leprechauns.

Finally! A movie represents my Irish brothers proud! We shall grab our pogo sticks and Guiness and take over the World!

To solve the whole "lucky clovers/lucky charms" thing, maybe lucky clovers is just the off brand, like walmart's own lucky charms knock off, and they just dont have any name brand food there.

One good thing about this movie: the legs of a young Jennifer Aniston.

Oh my god, Critic and Snob have hair!

More dignified than playing an Ewok?! YOU TAKE THAT BACK! WICKET IS THE BEST ROLE HE'S EVER PLAYED!

I love this movie mainly because Warwick Davis gives an amazing performance

“So just when you think he’s dead, the little f***ing green goblin refuses to die.” I think the Snob summed up this franchise as a whole

"Years of drinking Crystal Pepsi, my friend." This quote rang through my head when I tried Crystal Pepsi for the first time X'D

This movie would be better if it was made by R.L Stine

As an Irish person I find this movie incredible racist. Actually it looks fucking hilarious.

The "Three Guys That Paint" joke is totally priceless.

Why didn't the man throw the four leaf clover into the box with the leprechaun

“YOU WILL TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!!” Yeah, that’s how I felt when Black Manta showed up in Aquaman. Might as well play “Go Go Power Rangers” while fighting trying to strut in that ridiculous suit.

If you think this is bad, you should see the Gingerdead man.

"Fuck you, lucky charms." Ahahaha. xD

Warwick Davis was amazing in this role. If I remember correctly the only reason why Davis didn't return for the remake was to take care of his family. Also this movie was originally going to be a scary movie but was actually on purpose turned into a dark comedy. Another fun fact is the scene involving Davis in the wheel chair the camera man had to speed the camera footage up because Davis couldn't move the wheelchair fast enough due to his size.

It's always great to see Brad in a guest appearance.

im not sure this movie was meant to scare

You guys gotta do a review of LEPRECHAUN IN DA HOOD next.

This is one of those films that scares you as a kid, but makes you laugh as an adult

Damn I wish the women here in North Dakota actually looked like Jennifer Anniston.

What were they thinking, leprechauns are not that scary.

I actually want to see Three Guys that Paint.

It's funny cause they're both bald now.

"She's just a fucking clod" you said? *Dorito flashbacks*

The problem with hollywood can be summed up with the fact that this movie has more sequels than mad max.

Jim Carrey Bacon XD

16:23 So what you're saying is I have to look over a four-leafed clover that I overlooked before

My buddy swore up and down that Kevin Bacon was in this movie, when we watched it, we both burst out laughing. We just kept calling him fakin bacon the whole movie

Still waiting for a L.E.P.Recon movie.

This is by far one of my favorite team-ups!

NC: “this is what gonna scare you people! A little guy...on a bicycle....” Me: well he is scary when your in a trap and he wants to play a game....

The shoe thing? You do know how WEIRD mythical creatures are right? There are super bouncy bears, vampires that detach their heads and fly around with their organs hanging out and drink the blood of infants, mind reading apes, and a race of creatures that say the opposite of what they mean, and are all named William. Even the females. They are all William.

0:59 ! OMFG ! you could be twins !!!

For someone who has mainly seen Warwick Davis on British comedy panel shows, this is even more hilarious than it would be otherwise.

I love that Mario Kart joke.

I'll be honest I spend most of this movie distracted by Jennifer. Whether it is shorts or short dresses, it is way more eye catching than anything else going on in this shitpile.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed

11:25 to 11:31. One of the best parts in the whole review

I'm looking over a four leaf clover that I overlooked before!

1:08 Allllright, which one o' you is the REAL Cinema Snob?

10:32 Man, critic has the best Dirty Harry impression I think I've ever seen.

Davis admitted he improvised and added humour to the character.

30 years old and still one of my childhood favorites growing up Made $8.6 million on a $1 million budget despite it being released in January which is the worst time for any Hollywood production I remember renting it a lot on vhs which is interesting cause Trimark Studios got their big break during the video boom of the 90s thanks to Blockbuster stores This was my first introduction to Warwick Davis, his most well known role and actually his favorite even though not all the movies were critical darlings, it's very basic after all He illustrates the deadlinesses of greed and possessiveness Still crazy this was Jennifer Aniston's first film role despite that she regretted the experience No bad acting in this and you have some very likable human players particularly Mark Holton as Ozzie who has a lovable childhood imagination though he's often ostracized for it Although some of these people can be dim witted at times then again they can't comprehend fighting off a supernatural creature and they give it their best given the premise In all honesty this isn't the scariest thing out there as it's played more for laughs That Lucky Charms line is still a masterpiece of writing next to Warwick Davis owning this role, he was born to play this Irish villain Silly but a favorite among horror geeks as a guilty pleasure and it embraces its campiness Plenty of dark humor and slapstick among the blood making the genre fun for viewers Plus it's a reminder of the dangers of perceived debts...this leprechaun will collect to save his riches by any means Amazing to think too it spawned a franchise with loads of sequels spanning over 3 decades but this original will always come out on top above the rest It subverts the horror tropes and its success was due to not finding the biggest audience but rather the right one Still one of my favorite slasher villains to this day

A little guy on a tricycle can't be scary? Try telling that to Jigsaw. Also, at 14:54, missed opportunity... That should have been Gage from Pet Semetary calling..."Now I wanna play with yooooou...."

Is this the office nostalgia critic channel cuz I've seen a lot of nostalgia critic channels and I'm not sure which to subscribe to

Brad looked alot different nowadays.

Cinema Snob: "Hey, don't laugh my father went the same way!" Me: **laughing**

I have no idea where Americans got this idea of what an Irish accent is.

The only good thing about it is Jennifer Aniston

I had a VHS of this movie and watched it a lot as a kid. Pretty sure it was a horror-comedy movie and I liked it for what it was.

The first thing I had to do after watching this was googling wtf Crystal Pepsi was...

jacksepticeye the origin story

this kinda has an irish chucky feel to it

I love how they are acting like this was supposed to be a serious horror movie

12:50 His Power Is Whatever The Script Needs His Power To Be

What, a 20 minute video with the snob and critic, HOW DID I MISS THIS!?

“Jim Carrey Bacon” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You know, I wish there were more crossover reviews like this one. The ones Doug and Brad did later let their real friendship show through, which is cool, but I think their characters hating each other is so much funnier.

I love it when Doug and Brad,the Cinema Snob,do a crossover episode-the back and forth between them is priceless.

My brother was scared of leprechauns...This movie didn't help him to get over it.

I love it when Doug and Brad do reviews together! ^^

The wheelchair scene all I can think about is doing a live stream of a cheap knock off of Mario Cart and going, "I'm not sure if I'm laughing because it's sad or because it's completely silly."

There were too many funny parts in this vid to try quoting just one. Jen looked nice in those shorts too👍🏾

15:16 I don't know why but that nickname always has me in stitches, that's how I'm going to call that Leprechaun from now on

Classic crossover!

0:05 I've been wanting to do that for 13 years.

This review was *gold*. | 1/17 I just go the whole series today...this Friday night, I'm gonna have a whole marathon (expect origins). | 1/18 I watched to two 'Hood' movies. 2:41.

This was released in 1993, not on St. Patrick’s day, not on Halloween, in January.

Who’s watching on St. Patrick’s day ☘️🍀

As far as I know, all Fey/Fae have sort of a compelling action associated with them, like polishing shoes, counting rice etc. In fairytales of old it was more than often the only way to weaken a Fae or trick them, because they usually could't be defeated by regular means.

When I was younger I was scared of leprechauns and had a nightmare after watching the movie

"You're bullets won't stop me forever. I'll keep coming back." And he has been, including a new movie next year. He'll never go away.

This series is part of my st Patrick's day tradition.

As a Irishman, I'm surprised there wasn't any drinking holes in this

7:29 🤣👍

I'm the 3 Guys that Paint biggest fan.
