Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood

Plot synopsis:
The film opens with an animated prologue revealing the origins of leprechauns, stating that they were summoned by a king to protect his gold. After the death of the king the Leprechauns returned to their places of origin, all except one (Warwick Davis) who through the ages slowly became corrupted and obsessed with the gold he still guarded. In the present, Father Jacob (Willie C. Carpenter) finds the leprechaun's gold and intends to build a youth center. Jacob manages to banish Lubdan the Leprechaun, summoning demonic hands which drag him underground, but soon after dies of injuries inflicted by the leprechaun during the fight.
One year later, two friends Emily Woodrow (Tangi Miller) and Lisa Duncan (Sherrie Jackson), have their fortune told when the clairvoyant Esmeralda (Donzaleigh Abernathy) who warns them that they will attain great wealth soon, but it must be denied as it will come at a great price and summon a terrible evil. While having a barbecue at the abandoned youth center construction site with Lisa, their stoner friend Jamie Davis (Page Kennedy) and her ex-boyfriend-turned-drug dealer Rory Jackson (Laz Alonso), Emily falls through a hole and discovers the Leprechaun's gold in a tunnel where it was hidden by Father Jacob. Evenly splitting up the gold, the quartet of friends use it to fulfill their fantasies, unaware that by taking the gold they have released Lubdan the Leprechaun, who begins stalking the group (killing a guest by impaling his chest with a bong, taking one of his coins at a party held by Jamie, prompting the police to temporarily arrest him). At the salon where Emily works the Leprechaun sneaks in and, after killing a regular customer, Doria, on the massage table by breaking her neck, attacks Emily, who barely escapes and warns Rory and the recently released Jamie, who rush to get to Lisa's. In her house, Lisa is attacked by the Leprechaun and manages to fight him off for a short while, but is killed when the Leprechaun claws her in the stomach, with her friends finding her body.
While Emily and Jamie want to return the gold, Rory does not and takes off with it; shortly after realizing Rory is gone, Emily is attacked and chased outside by the Leprechaun, but is saved when Rory has a change of heart and comes back for her. Searching for Rory, Lubdan stops by his house and kills Rory's profligate girlfriend Chanel (Keesha Sharp) by tearing out her jaw, reclaiming the gold she used to make a tooth while Rory and Emily are stopped and harassed by Officers Thompson (Beau Billingslea) and Whitaker (Chris Murray). After the Leprechaun appears and kills the two officers, Emily and Rory escape and regroup with Jamie, only to be confronted by a machine gun wielding group of Rory's drug-dealing rivals, led by Watson (Shiek Mahmud-Bey) and Cedric (Sticky Fingaz). Planning on killing Rory for infringing on their territory, Watson and his gang are all disposed of by Lubdan, while Emily, Rory and Jamie drive off in Watson's car (which Lubdan latches to the bottom of for a short while) and go looking for help from Esmeralda.
Told to use four-leaf clovers against the Leprechaun by Esmeralda, Rory laces the hollow-point bullets of his gun with clovers Jamie finds in the marijuana Rory had earlier sold him. When the Leprechaun arrives, Rory shoots him several times with the clover bullets, only for his gun to jam before he can finish the Leprechaun off. Rory and Emily are given the chance to run with the gold when the Leprechaun is distracted by Jamie, who is quickly wounded with a baseball bat to the leg, and Esmeralda dies in a magical duel with the Leprechaun. Followed to the roof of the building, Rory tries fighting Lubdan and is knocked out, though before the Leprechaun can kill him, Emily taunts him by throwing some of his gold into nearby wet cement and lures him into the ruins of the youth center, where she tosses his gold into a furnace before knocking the Leprechaun in with it.
Believing the Leprechaun is dead, Emily returns to Rory, only for Lubdan to renew his attack on them. Knocking Emily off the roof and leaving her barely holding on, Lubdan taunts her, but is shot several times in the middle of his speech by Rory, who had fixed his gun. Shooting the Leprechaun repeatedly, Rory runs out of bullets, but distracts him long enough for Emily to hit Lubdan with the chest of coins, sending him off the rooftop and into the wet cement below, where the Leprechaun sinks and becomes trapped with his gold.
The film then cuts back to the animated prologue like the one at the beginning, and Lubdan digs himself out of the ground, leaving on a cliffhanger.

Review:
If you want a great Horror/Comedy you have to look no further this installment in the Leprechaun franchise will not disappoint!.
However, the owner is the evil Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) that returns from Hell to get his treasure back, killing each member of the greedy group."Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood" is silly, but funny in some moments.
Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood Written and Directed by: Steven AyromlodiYep, everyone's favorite evil elf is back in the 6th installment in this classic horror series.
Parts 4 and 5 are universally viewed as two of the worst movies of all time (Despite them being two films I love, they are admittedly terrible) Steven Ayromlodi was still able to convince someone to give him the money to make a 6th movie.This time the Lep comes back to the hood in search of his gold once again.
They spend their fortunes and have fun...until the little Irish monster shows up and starts killing off the people that took his gold.Yeah, pretty cookie-cutter..but that's how the whole series is and you can't expect much more.
Sure, the acting is a bit cheesy at times, and it lacks in the gore department and the kills are less creative, but overall I was satisfied with this movie, and can only hope for a 7th.Definitely only for fans of the series though.**/4.
All the Leprechaun films are fun in their own way, but this one is far less hokey - there's hope for the series yet!.
Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood directed by Steven Ayromlooi After some very bad sequels, a Leprechaun film has been made which can happily conclude the Irish monster's saga.
I had seen some parts of part 3 and about half of Leprechaun 4 a couple of years ago but I don't think I'd seen enough to pass judgment.What attracts me to this film the most is that it's so different from the rest of the series.
Some of the slow motion was well-placed and made the film evermore funny (i.e. Lep's eye incident) but for the most part, it didn't suit the movie all that well but didn't really harm it either..The Leprechaun looked so much better in this film, he looks a lot creepier than he used to.
Every time I'd see a Leprechaun film, I'd wonder if people actually got scared of him because he was always so comical with his appearance and annoying rhymes.
Luckily, I only remember the Leprechaun blubbering out one rhyme in this movie which was a welcomed change, instead of rolling my eyes at another lame one-rhymer.When it all comes down to it, this is an average horror film but a good addition to the Leprechaun series.
If you're bored and want some horror fun, check out this film because you got about a 50/50 chance of splitting your sides in laughter like I did or just staring blankly at the screen.
I really don't see all of the fuss with this and the other Leprechaun movies.Sure,it's stupid in some parts,but this is actually a very entertaining horror movie.Well,it's more of a comedy than a horror,but you know what I mean.There is a little bit of gore,especially the part where the leprechaun took out a persons heart,and it was still beeping and pumping blood.That's a goof.The one problem with this movie is that it's full of them.For example,when the leprechaun grabbed a cop's leg,he supposedly tore it off.But in the next shot,his other leg is gone.But to say the least,this is a very entertaining piece of film that fans of the others should enjoy.When is 'Leprechaun 7' coming out?.
The film features Warwick Davis as the malevolent Leprechaun who stalks a group of friends from the inner city after stealing his gold.
I used to laugh while my sisters got scared (wusses) The movies were great can't help but laugh at how stupid the leprechaun is.
Also, I think this was the bloodiest Leprechaun movie out of the 6, so a little gore is cool for horror fans.
Leprechaun In Tha Hood (2000) was arguably the worst of the Leprechaun movies (Except the remake) so another one had me fearing the worst.This was also the last official Leprechaun movie, the last one to feature Warwick Davis and it's hardly a fitting end for the little fella.It tells the story of a group who find the Leprecauns gold and become stalked by him.
Pretty formulaic stuff, but the main difference here is how dark is.The Leprechaun movies are comedy horrors and aren't to be taken seriously, with over the top death scenes and regular quips they are supposed to be silly fun.
That was a really strange decision by it's creators and in this guys opinion and a really really stupid one.If you enjoyed Leprechaun In Tha Hood you might enjoy this but as a final entry to the series this was somewhat undeserving.The Good: Has its moments The Bad: The lack of comedy hurts the film I struggled to care about anyone Things I Learnt From This Movie: No Leprechauns were harmed in the making of this motion picture.
6 , she hangs up..the storyline has to do with a fortune teller who tells the black youths not to give in to the wealth of all the gold that they find,, but of course these teens are dumb, stupid they don't listen, and get caught up in the Leprechauns' schemes once again,, this one i would say is more on the funny side,, not to be taken seriously by anyone really..
No, you don't get a cookie for guessing that other than the title character and on-screen references, this film has no narrative connection to its predecessors.In reviewing Leprechaun 5, I expressed my overall disappointment, but stated that `Leprechaun still has enough moments to get my rental at least for one more film.'  Well, the Lep's second trip to the hood is far more entertaining than the first.
I dunno bout other fans of the series, but Warwick Davis is my interest in the Leprechaun films and anything else that isn't hideous is a bonus.
I still think going "back 2 tha hood" was a bad idea, luckily it seems they went back to the original Leprechaun style - more humor!
I laughed so hard at the whole ninja scene, and especially when the Leprechaun got to smoke his first bong!My final opinion is that there should have been more gore/violence, and it shouldn't have been in the hood.
great movie without a doubt...ive been a fan since the first one of course i did thought part 3 was bad and so was part 4 but they came back good with  leprechaun in the hood now this last installment of the leprechaun movies has to be one of the best ones  rent it buy it enjoy it i guarantee u will like it ......
ok from the looks of this the people on the soundboard before i saw this made it seem like "oh yeah this new graphics format , this movie will be the best out of the series, bl abla" and yet when i saw it yeah i understand what they said abotu some cgi graphics format im assuming the intro was that part lol but the first 25 minutes put me to sleep i was watching a whole dumb ghetto movie which bored the living crap out of me FINALLY the leprechaun decides to show up and things didnt get that much interesting i mean soem funyn scenes when the leprechaun was toking on the bong then shoved it into that black guy's stomach muhahaha well overall it was not really that good.
After two underwelming sequels, the leprechaun is back on track with this sixth installment in the guilty pleasure horror comedy franchise.All it took was a new outfit, a bunch of new entertainingly dumb characters, an entertainingly dumb plot and a hint of the outlandish magic that made these movies so much fun to begin with..
Also have an appreciation for horror, and ones with splashes of comedy, and had gotten into watching a few horror franchises that had interested me for a long time.The first 'Leprechaun', while understanding why people would find it a guilty pleasure, didn't do it for me.
While it was still not a good film 'Leprechaun: Back 2 the Hood' for me is one of the best sequels and one of the best of the series, better than the previous two films by far.Davis is the best thing about 'Leprechaun: Back 2 the Hood'n as with the previous films.
He is both amusing and grotesquely creepy, doing the best he can, successfully, with an again goofy look, some terrible lines (though actually they are better than the ones he is given in the previous film) and less than tasteful horror which must have been hard to do and shows how conscientious and talented he is.There are sporadically mildly amusing moments that don't come anywhere near enough.
The characters display very little personality when they aren't being insufferably annoying with their dumb antics and illogical decision making.'Leprechaun: Back 2 the Hood' is still lacking in the story and script, like all the previous films.
I love how warrick davis plays that evil lep againBut I admit this one isn't my favorite at all ( even the space one is better to me ) I love how lep gets a new look and shows how much stronger he is , but it's sad he doesn't rhyme At all and he doesn't show any magic Even though lep is much stronger in this one and can take some serious beatings ( shot , ran over , burned alive ) he still felt weaker to me in this one cause all he really did was get beat up by everyoneThere is a little bit of humor that makes it worth watching again cause I did enjoy seeing how strong he is , plus I just love that evil little lepBut I truly didn't care about the characters , truly they bored me and it only got good when Davis showed up And the ending was sadly really weak and that's a real shame But I love warrick davis as lep and I'd watch it again only to bye pass everything till lep comes into it , The best part of the movie was When the lep did show up and his great new look , I also loved when lep got high ( best part ever )So to me it's not the best lep movie at all but cause of some funny parts and the fact it's davis it's worth watching again.
Hairdresser from tha hood Emily Woodrow (Tangi Miller) and her ghetto pals discover a chest full of gold coins and, ignoring a warning from a psychic woman to deny their newfound wealth, find themselves threatened by a malevolent leprechaun.What has made the Leprechaun sequels bearable thus far is their blatant silliness and camp characters, with the focus on twisted humour rather than genuine horror.
Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood plays everything a little too straight for its own good, with not nearly enough in the way of knowingly dumb nonsense: the death scenes are forgettable, and with some of the least likable protagonists of the whole franchise (drug smoking, gun toting thugs with few redeeming qualities), Back 2 tha Hood proves to be quite the painful experience.The funniest scene in the whole sorry mess is when Leprechaun (Warwick Davis, returning for the paycheck) smokes a bong, but we already saw the little guy get stoned in the previous film (which handled the whole 'G' thang with a lot more fun)..
Struggling to make ends meet, a woman and her friends stumble upon the leprechaun's pot of gold and use it to improve their lives only to incur the wrath of the leprechaun who tears apart the hood trying to find the missing gold.This was a far better sequel than expected.
But if you're watching this with the expectation of seeing a scary horror film or some work of art, you got the wrong movie in the first place!.
more bloody than the rating, it is a weird story not like the other ones the, leprechaun 2 is the best, i like the grisly images in that movie, but this one focuses on the gold, but not just that its s lot of killing too and the leprechaun can take more than just a blow, he takes stabs , gunshots, hits ,kicks, etc.
fun horror movie Rated R for Strong Violence/Gore, Language, Drug use, and brief sexuality have fun watching it but do not expect too much, if u like this kind of bad horror movies i recommend leprechaun 2, its the best out of the pot of gore leprechuan series, i also recomned fear of clowns, thats a good one too.
I'd heard about the long running "Leprechaun" series of horror/comedies and how they were pretty funny despite (or because) of their low budgets, but had never seen any of them.
Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003) * (out of 4) Sixth and so far final entry in the horrid series has a group of friends in the ghetto finding some gold, which they start having fun with even though they've been warned by a psychic that only evil can follow.
Even though the lep has headed back to the hood, this film has no connection to the previous one but it's doubtful too many people will actually care about that.
If you're a fan of the series then I guess that means you'll enjoy this entry but now having seen all six movies I must say that there's no doubt that this is the worst series in horror film history.
The one good thing I can say about the film is that Davis appears to have a lot more energy than the previous movie.
LEPRECHAUN: BACK 2 THA HOOD marked the final film in the series and I must admit that I'm very thankful..
You know..if i were to judge this film without seeing any of the other leprechaun movies i would have to say i would rate it a strong 6 or a weak 7, but having suffered through the last 5 movies..and vaguely enjoying the first, i really liked this movie..im a fan of Warwick Davis and that was always the draw for me to watch these films but now must say i look forward to a Sequel..possibly Leprechaun: The Saint Patrick's Day Massacre, THEY NEED TO LEAVE OFF THE NUMBER if they wanna get it released in the theaters...
Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood was actually an improvement.
Overall its a step in the right direction, Leprechaun 7 would be a good idea if the series continues to improve.
This movie is not a great one by any means but I must admit that I found this movie to be still the best one out of the the Leprechaun sequels.
It still comes nowhere close to the level of the first movie but it's a good and entertaining one on its own rights nevertheless.This movie has nothing to do with the previous sequel "Leprechaun in the Hood", even though it's being all set in the the hood again.
The entire series always has been more comical like than horror anyway.With this movie it's obvious that they went for a more dark tone.
It also doesn't really feel like a Leprechaun movie, since he only shows up in it after some long pauses with his absence, in between.
People don't like just don't know a good horror movie when they see it.
If you like a good horror movie.
this is the six movie in the "Leprechaun" series,and it's actually not too bad.it has a much darker tone than any of the previous entries.but there are pretty funny bits as well.there is a lot of course language for the first 30 minutes or so.and by a lot,i mean every other word.that bothered me bit.i don't have anything against course language being used in a movie,but there is a limit.i just don't need to hear every other word being a swear.thankfully,this annoying problem didn't last throughout the film.there's a lot of irony in this film,which seemed more prevalent than the other entries.this movie is not scary,but as i said it is quite dark in tone,making this much closer close to being scary than parts 1 to 5.all in all,this may be the best of the franchise so far.i give "Leprechaun 6:back 2 the Hood" 5/10.
I think the producers of Leprechaun ran out of ideas (not that were many great ideas rolling out of these masterminds to begin with), and decided to tap into a different market than just stupid white people from the suburbs watching bad movies like this.
This movie features people in the ghetto finding the leprechaun's gold and he horribly kills them one by one.
Finally, there is a good Leprechaun movie out there.
almost...acts like a real horror attempt.I don't know about anyone else, but I watch these movies for Warwick Davis.
Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood should be viewed with friends for more laughs, but expect the "f" and "n" word a lot (that's ninja)..
This movie is somewhat different from all of the other Leprechaun films in that it isn't bursting at the seams with its own cartoonishness.
Just as soon as you start to think of this as a serious(ly intentioned) horror film, there's a goofy scene where she has a magical fireball duel with the leprechaun.
Once you get over the fact that you're watching a bunch of 5'11-6'3 people running from a 4'1 Leprechaun, it's actually pretty well done.
But in this film, he's actually wearing an outfit that looks like a 10th century, decrepit little warlock or wizard or...well, leprechaun would wear.All in all, it's a decent movie, it's well made, and hopefully it's a sign of things to come if they keep improving the series in this manner.
