Review of Leprechaun in the Hood (2000) by Joe E — 23 Nov 2010

Leprechaun 5 is an horror gangsta rap musical with some action and comedy elements. Someone, somewhere, must have made a connection between the leprechaun's habit of speaking in rhymes and rap. Ice-T is featured, and Coolio makes a brief cameo.

While part 4 is the worst of the whole serie, part 5 has the highest count of awkward moments, including a constructive yet internally incoherent portrayal of gangsta rap, the leprechaun smoking pot (two times), cross-dressing (two times), and YES, the leprechaun does a rap performance surrounded with the usual almost-nude girls dancing around and being two times taller he is.
