Leprechaun V: In the Hood
I forced myself to go into this movie with an open mind. I cleared out all of my sarcastic prejudgist thoughts I had and went in with an open mind. That being said, I thought this one was so-so. If you're a fan of the series, you may find all of the tragically hip things that the Leprechaun does funny. Like when he smoked pot, rapped, or asked someone to go down on him. I caught myself laughing at several scenes. The Leprechaun wasn't actually in a whole lot of the movie. Most of it was the young rappers on the run from Mac Daddy or the Leprechaun. I have to admit that it was better than I thought it would be. 2.5 out of 5.
