This 12 months, in honor of St Patrick’s day, I watched* your entire Leprechaun collection to carry you a listing of a number of the finest and most ridiculous kills from the entire franchise. Completely happy St Patrick’s Day!
Leprechaun (1993) – the Pogo Schtick
The primary movie within the collection (starring Jennifer Aniston, earlier than nobody informed her life was gonna be this fashion – clapclapclapclap) has a number of considerably standard kills, after which there’s this one. The Leprechaun – in all his ferocity – kills a person by leaping up and down on his chest with a pogo stick. A rattling pogo stick. The gradual movement as he approaches is simply ridiculous. This film is, normally, exhausting to take critically, however this simply doesn’t assist.

Leprechaun’s demise: 4 leafed clover/gum is shot into his mouth utilizing a slingshot, he’s then thrown into effectively filled with gasoline and blown up.
Leprechaun 2 (1994) – Steam Facial
We’ve bought a cameo right here, individuals. Michael McDonald (pre-MadTV) flexes his comedic muscle (form of. He strikes it, a minimum of). What this scene lacks in a superb script, it makes up for it with face-melting goodness.

Leprechaun’s demise: Chest impaled with wrought iron bar, blown up
Leprechaun 3 (1995) – Killer TV Robotic Intercourse
The third installment within the franchise is straight up batshit loopy. The primary character in some way will get leprechaun blood in an open wound and – like some tiny Irish werewolf – begins to show into one himself. Apparently the lore states that leprechauns are extraordinarily territorial – or aggressive.. or.. one thing – so naturally it turns into a little bit of a battle royale between the 2. However with extra limericks.
In any case, on to the homicide! Instantly following a scene the place this creeper nearly rapes a woman as a result of the magical leprechaun lust spell wears off at a horrible second, this man is electrocuted by an ungainly intercourse robotic. Good! Earned it. However let’s speak about this scene for a second. It seems just like the designer mixed the robotic from Quick Circuit with a blow up doll and stated “yeah okay let’s simply run with this”. They usually did. As a result of it appeared like a superb design.

Leprechaun’s demise: His pot of gold is burned with flamethrower, he’s incinerated
Dying by Kardashian
Can I say that? I’m gonna say it. This girl’s self-importance is her final finish after her lips, hips, and boobs over-inflate to the purpose of explosion. We’ve all realized a bit one thing from this film – don’t fuck with leprechaun needs, man.
Leprechaun 4: In House (1997) – Bonerkill
For a film that’s weirdly plot heavy, this kill could be my favourite. He bursts by a man’s dick. Via his dick. How, you ask? Properly, that’s a wierd factor to get hung up on, however I’ll inform you. Again within the Leprechaun’s cave of wonders (his lair, I suppose) a bunch of marines shoot him whereas rescuing an Alien house princess that the Leprechaun desires to marry so he may be alien royalty. Once more, it’s weirdly plot heavy. The Leprechaun is shot, and as a marine victory pisses on his corpse, he makes use of his magic to ship his power up by the stream of urine to cover within the marine’s junk till he could make his grand escape and start to wreak havoc. This film is so unusual.

Leprechaun’s demise: Ejected into house, blown up
Leprechaun: Again 2 tha Hood (2003) – Killer Bong
Our man loves a superb bit o’ inexperienced. He’s not nice with sharing his gold although. This scene is fairly foolish (aren’t all of them) however you do need to admire the drive it should take to stab somebody by the abdomen with a bong. It’s a blunt instrument (I’m so sorry for that pun).
Physique depend: 14
Leprechaun’s demise: Shot with 4 leaf clover bullet, thrown into moist cement
Leprechaun: Origins (2014) – the Backbone Ripper
Of all of the franchises to get a gritty reboot, I didn’t count on Leprechaun to be one among them. And but, right here we’re. The 2014 reboot has not one of the limericks – no Warwick Davis both – however rather more blood than the earlier entries. The very best kill within the movie is definitely fairly rad. One of many cannon fodder protagonists has their backbone ripped out. Their backbone! Like a shock go to from a chainsaw-wielding junkie, it’s unexpectedly gnarly.
Physique depend: 10
Leprechaun’s demise: Decapitation
Leprechaun: Within the Hood (2000)
I couldn’t discover a clip of my favourite demise from the fifth installment by which the Leprechaun punches a gap by a man’s abdomen.
Disappointing, I do know. As a substitute, I’ll go away you with maybe one of the crucial memorable moments of the entire franchise. A rapping Warwick Davis. Take pleasure in.
