While reviews were negative, with critics lambasting both the direction and the characters and saying that the film is neither scary nor funny, the commercial success prompted a series of films with a sequel, Leprechaun 2, released theatrically the following year.

Budipine
Budipine (brand name Parkinsan) is an antiparkinson agent marketed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

While its exact mechanism of action is not well characterized, it is believed to be an NMDA receptor antagonist, but also promoting the synthesis of dopamine.

Because it provides additional benefits relative to existing treatments, it probably does not precisely mimic the mechanism of an existing known treatment.

It is an hERG blocker and can produce long QT syndrome as a side effect.

Analogues include prodipine and medipine.

Prodipine
Prodipine (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name BY-101) is an experimental antiparkinsonian agent of the 4,4-diphenylpiperidine series related to budipine which was never marketed. It was the predecessor of budipine and was similarly found to be effective in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, prodipine produced side effects including gastrointestinal  adverse effects, nausea and vomiting, and hypotension. Due to the nausea and vomiting with the oral form, it could only be tolerated with intravenous administration. As a result, budipine, which had fewer side effects, was developed instead.
