Short summary

On his one thousandth birthday, an evil leprechaun selects the descendant of one of his slaves to have as his bride, leaving it up to the girl's boyfriend to save her.
On his 1000th birthday, a mean Leprechaun gets to choose a bride by making her sneeze three times, then she's his...only the bride he chooses is the daughter of his slave (who fouls up the wedding) so Leprechaun must wait until his 2000th birthday to claim the woman of his nightmares. The descendant of the woman he wanted to marry already has a boyfriend: a brave young boy named Cody, who lives with his swindler uncle Morty and together they run a tour company called Darkside Tours. Leprechaun soon wakes up, kills a bunch of people and kidnaps his bride to be. It's soon up to Cody to save her, and only wrought iron can destroy a Leprechaun. Morty has an idea, but it soon goes horribly wrong when he gets too greedy. Cody ventures into Leprechaun's home to save Bridget, but little does he know that a leprechaun's home has many surprises.

Trailers "Leprechaun 2 (1994)"

Only Leprechaun film to take place on St. Patrick's Day.

Denise Richards was a major contender for the role of Bridget.

Last film in the series to be given a theatrical release.

Has an alternate movie title: "One Wedding and Lots of Funerals".

The German VHS copy of Fatal Past, includes a rare trailer of Leprechaun 2 that shows scenes that weren't in the final film, including a scene where Bridget is smiling and looking at Ian and telling him she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to make a mistake. another shot at the race track where the Leprechaun uses his magic to let Bridget win a race she was losing, and scenes with Ian and Cody drinking at the bar instead of Morty, another character taking Bridget home and being shoved aside as he tries to kiss her with the Leprechaun watching angry from a tree.

Cody advises Clint Howard's character to get some ice cream if he's too scared. In 1995, one year after this movie, Howard starred in Ice Cream Man.

The "one of us" chant which the little people sing while at the bar is a tribute to a similar scene from Tod Browning's 1932 Freaks.

The guard dog Andretti, is a reference to race car driver Mario Andretti.

When Cody and Bridget are talking after the film's prologue, a bus passes by with a billboard poster of Geronimo: An American Legend (1993) along with the film Nunnad hoos 2 (1993) being displayed at a local theater.

In the shot of Cody and Morty sitting at the table, you can clearly see a movie poster on the wall behind them reading "Part II, The body count continues..." This is a poster for Friday the 13th, Part 2 (1981), although the top half is hidden. It is also an inside joke, since this is a horror movie sequel and the body count does continue.

Originally it was planned to film Leprechaun 2 and Leprechaun 3 back to back with Bridget, Cody, Ian and Mandy returning for Part 3. The studio later scrapped the idea to film Leprechaun 3 immediately afterwards, resulting in most of the Leprechaun 2 footage being deleted and rewritten before reshoots.

The title of the treatment was Trial of the Leprechaun and it picked off right where Bride of the Leprechaun ended with Bridget and Cody outside the Leprechaun's lair after he exploded. Just after they leave and make plans to get food the police arrive and arrest Cody for the murders of all the people the Leprechaun killed. Bridget tries to tell the police the truth but they don't believe her. Bridget starts working together with Mandy to look for a lawyer to represent Cody but fail miserably. They end up forced to go to trial with a public defender, and the case goes sideways when Ian appears alive as the star witness, claiming to have watched Cody kill the victims. Bridget goes to a shaman who helps teach her a spell which weakens and forces the supernatural to reveal themselves. The next day in court Bridget performs the spell and the Leprechaun's spirit is forced out of Ian's body and then takes over Officer Murphy, Lyle's father who wants Cody dead, using his pistol to kill many people, but failing to kill Cody who escapes with Bridget. Ian wakes up in the courtroom, having his memories altered by the Leprechaun into believing Cody was responsible for everything. Ian and a bunch of his jock friends go looking for Cody and Bridget, who went to visit the shaman who reveals that the way to kill the Leprechaun is to force his spirit to flee multiple times. The Leprechaun as Murphy shows up and shoots the shaman, he gets into a fight with Cody but is beaten by a kick to the groin. Just as Cody is about to escape he is caught by Ian who starts to beat him up until Bridget convinces him he is being fooled. The Leprechaun is then forced out of Murphy's body after Ian shoots him dead, and jumps into Cody. He struggles for control as the Leprechaun forces his body to murder Ian's friends. Cody stops the Leprechaun and tells Bridget how weak the Leprechaun is and how if she says the spell one last time he will be dead for sure. He loses control just as the Leprechaun starts to use him to strangle Ian. Bridget finishes the spell and saves Ian, but the Leprechaun manages to drag Cody to Hell with him. Bridget breaks down as Ian consoles her. The final scene is Cody making a deal with the Leprechaun to escape Hell and make it back to Earth.

The original draft featured several scenes and subplots cut out that were even filmed, mainly the love triangle between Bridget, Cody, and Ian was a much larger plot point, and he was a main character who appeared in scenes that took place after his death in the finished film. After Cody dropped Bridget off at the Go-Kart place there was dialogue mentioning how Ian and Bridget had dated in the past until he cheated on her and she broke up with him, with Ian bullying Cody at the time. Scenes at the Go-Kart track included Bridget hanging out with her friend Mandy, and another friend of Ian's named Lyle trying really hard to flirt with Bridget. Lyle was Cody's best friend who ditched him for Ian's clique in high school and helped Ian bully Cody. Lyle took Bridget home and after attempting to kiss her, gets lured into a wood chipper by a nude illusion of Bridget. Ian was set to appear at Cody's apartment, demanding to know where Bridget was and why his friend Lyle was found dead. After Cody convinced Ian of the Leprechaun with the gold coin, he decided to help him, but he secretly wants her for himself and later tried to push Cody in-front of the go-kart the Leprechaun is driving. He is later fooled by an illusion of Bridget in the Leprechaun's lair in the final act of the film, giving her what he believed was the real coin which he stole from Cody but Cody actually gave him the false one, and Ian is killed by the Leprechaun.

Reshoots reduced Ian's role to two scenes, giving Morty more to do and the characters of Lyle and Mandy were cut out completely.

Body Count: 5.

    I remember catching this film on UPN back in 2001, and it was surprisingly more scary than the original. Don't get me wrong, the original wasn't as scary or as a nightmare as this one; this time as the trailers said, "He's Back!" This time Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is on the search for his bride after his latest 1000 birthday and wants to breed more leprechauns. Like the first movie, he wants his gold after it has been stolen or has been retrieved by the main hero of the film. Most of the death scenes are more violent than the last film, but than, again, its just a movie. On a lighter note, you get to see Clint Howard as a tourist; Sandy Baron (Seinfeld) as the hero's partner; and Michael McDonald (MadTV) as one of the Leprechaun's victims.

    It's truly amazing how much life that this "Leprechaun" series has had. It's endured for over 20 years; there's even a remake in the works. Then again, I suppose there's something to be said for this kind of dumb fun. And make no mistake, it *is* dumb. But it's also genuinely funny at times, and is not without a clever moment or two. The makers of these movies know that they're not making Shakespeare, and create agreeable horror comedies that may have some viewers groaning, shaking their heads, and struggling to get through them, and others having a fine old time. Making a difference is star Warwick Davis (it is nice to have seen him so gainfully employed), whose enthusiasm is hard to resist. He's obviously enjoying himself.

    In his second performance as the gleefully sadistic Leprechaun, he attempts to snag himself a hot young wife. But his slave interferes (the girl that the Leprechaun selects is his daughter), and 1,000 years later the Leprechaun resurfaces to amorously pursue his slaves' descendant, a girl named Bridget (sexy blonde Shevonne Durkin). Naturally, Bridgets' boyfriend Cody (Charlie Heath) isn't going to sit idly by and watch a demented fairy take his lady away. So Cody teams up with his irrepressible drunken uncle Morty (veteran comedian Sandy Baron) to do battle.

    Baron is a real scene stealer, and in addition to the attractiveness of co-star Durkin and the performance of Davis, does provide some justification for sitting down to watch this. The movie does get tiresome at times - and, for something running just under 85 minutes, it does drag a little - but it's amusing often enough to make for decent entertainment. At the very least, it does find the time to feature cameo appearances by the legendary Clint Howard and Kimmy Robertson of "The Last American Virgin" and 'Twin Peaks' as a pair of tourists. Also showing up are Al White (one of the jive talking dudes from "Airplane!"), Tony Cox ("Bad Santa"), and Billy Beck ("The Blob" '88). Production design, lighting, and visual effects are good, but there won't be enough gore for some tastes, especially considering the fate of one character. The music by Jonathan Elias is actually damn good.

    This is about as enjoyable as any movie titled "Leprechaun 2" could be.

    Leprechaun 2, aka 4 funerals and a wedding, the leprechaun is back and he wants his bride for his 2000th birthday! I know it's silly, but I love the Leprechaun series so much, it's just so enjoyable and fun to watch. Especially if you love horror films as much as I do. Warwick Davis also reprises his famous role as the leprechaun, which is a major plus, since he's really the only one who can do it. You also notice some other "little" stars in the bar sequence that Warwick has made famous throughout the years. Yeah, the story is a little gross, but I think that's why I loved it.

    Leprechaun is back to reclaim his bride, she sneezes once, she sneezes twice, she'll be his bride when she sneezes thrice! And he's gonna love her... to death! In today's world, her name is Bridget and she has a relationship with a cute young orphan, Cody, he is taken care of by his alcoholic con artist uncle. When Cody and Bridget get into a fight, Cody comes back to Bridget's house to apologize, little do they know that a friend of their's has just been splattered by a lawn mower, thanks to our friend, the leprechaun! He also makes Bridget sneeze three times and takes her to his haunting layer, but Cody has a piece of his gold! The leprechaun must have it back!

    Leprechaun 2 has much more great humor, like the scene where he and Cody's uncle are drinking, and it was just so hilarious to see a leprechaun drunk. "Drink all you want... drink all you can... you can't beat me... 'cause I'm a lepre-can! Mmmph! Chaun!" LOL! I loved that line, please, watch this movie if you are in the correct mood or enjoy the series. Don't take it so seriously, otherwise, you're looking for the wrong kind of movie.

    A leprechaun is revived on St Patrick Day by a hobo's bottle of liquor, and then tries to claim the bride he promised he would marry 1000 years ago. She is captured and held prisoner inside his tree-house home, with her slacker boyfriend and con-artist uncle quickly coming to the rescue. But can they outsmart this creature, who makes up in cunning and sadism what he lacks in height and strength?

    A sequel to an original notable only for an early appearance by Jennifer Aniston, this is about on a par with its low-budget predecessor. The lead lovers are so utterly lacking in anything approaching acting ability or charisma you'll find yourself cheering on Warwick Davis all the way. He, as the Leprechaun, is about the only component that keeps the film going, and his witty one liners and nasty methods of disposing of anyone who stands in his way are a constant delight. It's just a shame that his restricted growth has firmly pigeon-holed him into roles like this, he deserves more than to play Ewoks and Dwarfs his entire career. Eventually though, even his talents (including a fantastic Irish accent(!) ) cannot save a duff script, and the end result is a entirely forgettable film which is only worth watching as a last resort rental. And there's another four sequels to go after this. Oh, joy.. 4/10

    P.S Gets my award for most obvious body double ever used for a nude scene. Watch it, and you'll see what I mean..

    Why couldn't this movie pick up where "Leprechaun" left off? I was confused and disappointed to see this film start off with a completely different leprechaun who just happens to look like the original. Although this film is flawed and not as imaginative and atmospheric as the first, it still remains watchable. It helms a slightly decent plot, has a few genuine "jump" scenes, and features crisp, bright costumes and sets. The problem with the leprechaun series is that it takes the leprechaun to new and uninteresting heights when it should try recapturing the atmosphere and fear the original was able to deliver.

    If you couldn't get into the spirit of the first one, I wouldn't bother with this one.

    The Leprechaun series is a special kind of series. I liked that they don't exactly follow the first one. The best comic books don't necessarily keep the same parameters; Silver Age Batman is not Christopher Nolan's. I liked that we are basically getting the same Leprechaun villain with a different back story and different powers/weaknesses. Leprechaun 2 has a couple of different things about it.

    I liked the fantasy based background story. The Leprechaun lore is explored in this one; it's more about the Leprechaun than the humans response to him. I'm willing to forgo the strangeness of a 1000 year old Leprechaun making his way from the Old World to the New World. I'm willing to forgo his adaptability to the ways of the modern world though he comes from the Dark Ages.

    I liked the silly rhyming lines spliced with unnecessary gore. It's nice to have some light- hearted comedy that takes me from point A to point B. Leprechaun is a threat, the good guys fight him, the story ends.

    LEPRECHAUN 2, in my opinion, is a very clever and hip horror film you'll love which will leave you feeling good. The only things about it that scared me, like the first two, were some of the blood and gore and when the leprechaun (Warwick Davis) suddenly appeared or jumped out from somewhere. Other than that, I didn't get scared at all. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that everyone involved in this film did an outstanding job. In conclusion, to all you horror film lovers that have not seen this very clever and hip horror film you'll love which will leave you feeling good, I highly recommend it! You're in for a good time as well as some pure chills and thrills, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, turn down the lights, lock all your doors and windows, and enjoy!

    This is the worst movie I've seen for Slasher Month, not that I had high regards for most of these films anyway. This movie features the leprechaun claiming a girl to be his bride because a slave of his promised a descendant would be his bride or some stupid thing like that. This film is so idiotic as it doesn't even make sense within the context of the first film. The first movie shows the leprechaun being blown up at the end, but here he comes back with no explanation. I really miss Jennifer Aniston. Sure, it was awful she was in the first stupid movie to begin with, but at least they had an acclaimed actress in it.

    The leprechaun still has no name. This movie takes place at Saint Patrick's Day. I guess it's weird to watch this for a Halloween Month but with all the people the leprechaun kills, it's more appropriate here. There's apparently a lot of midgets who dress as leprechauns in this movie. Wouldn't that be demeaning? There's this long weird pointless scene where they try to get the leprechaun drunk to beat it or something. This movie is surprisingly boring. In the first movie, the leprechaun's weakness was a four leaf clover. Now it's instead lead for no reason.

    The leprechaun's killed by being impaled by a pipe which once again blows him up. In one scene, the leprechaun makes all his gold materialize in one place. Wait, if he can do that, why can't he just teleport his last gold coin? And how come in the first movie, the guy who swallowed the last coin wasn't immune to him like in this movie? Leprechauns can apparently teleport, imitate voices, shapeshift, levitate things, become invisible, and create illusions. Okay, this leprechaun is just too powerful. They can also grant three wishes, but I thought that was a genie. This movie is a stupid violent piece of garbage and I hate it. *

    According to this sequel's magical lore, once a leprechaun has lived for 1000 years, he can claim any woman as his bride simply by making her sneeze three times—just so long as no-one says 'bless you' afterwards. When an evil leprechaun (Warwick Davis) fails in his attempt to take a beautiful young woman for his wife, he vows he will return in a thousand years to wed her descendant. Fast forward a millennium, and sexy babe Bridget (Shevonne Durkin) gets the shock of her life to find that she is the unlucky distant relative of the 'one who got away'.

    The first Leprechaun movie was a mediocre-at-best, tongue-in-cheek horror made more bearable by the presence of a young and very tasty Jennifer Aniston; having quickly moved onto bigger and better things, Aniston unsurprisingly didn't return for this sequel, but thanks to part 2 actually having something remotely resembling a plot, plus some nastier-than-before violence and a fine replacement babe in the shapely form of sexy Shevonne Durkin, it actually proves to be a tad more fun than the original.

    As Bridget's boyfriend Cody (Charlie Heath) desperately tries to find a way to stop the diminutive troublemaker from wedding his woman, viewers are treated to plenty of zany humour (Lep getting drunk is priceless), a fair smattering of hokey gore, lots of dwarfs, and even a bit of gratuitous female nudity (although Durkin's topless scene almost certainly utilises a body double). It's all very daft, and not in the slightest bit scary, but although Leprechaun 2 is no classic by any stretch of the imagination, it's definitely a small step in the right direction (which is the only kind of step a leprechaun could take, I suppose).

    The Leprechaun is back only this time its a different one even though this isn't really explained but it must be a different one because the film starts 1000 years ago. It's the Leprechaun's 1000th birthday and as we all know (of course we do) a Leprechaun gets to pick himself a bride every 1000 years (hmmm are they making up legends here?). So the little guy promises his slave that he will set him free after he has his bride. Little does the slave know the Leprechaun choice of bride is none other than his daughter. All the Leprechaun needs to do is get her to sneeze three times, and he does this. The slave then runs off gets killed and the Leprechaun says he ruined his chance. Now I don't get this bit. He got her to sneeze three times so why then wasn't she his wife? All the slave did was run away, how did that stop him marrying his daughter? But anyway, we cut o 1000 years later and low and behold that's today. It's the Leprechaun's birthday again and he has his eyes on a new bride. This films seems to completely disregard the first film as some of the rules have completely changed. For instance in the first film it was a four leaved clover that killed the little guy, in this one its iron. But in the first film he came out of the safe in the shop just before he killed the guy with a pogo stick. In this one they put him in a safe to try and kill him, what's going on there? There are some really good scenes in this film that I liked a lot. Seeing the Leprechaun getting drunk was great. All the little people egging him on was superb. Some of the acting was terrible though. most noticeably by the girl that played Bridget. The guys that played Cody and Morty were OK and Morty was a great character, and of course Warwick was great as the Leprechaun despite his constant terrible rhyming. There was a bit more gore in this one but not really enough for the sort of film it is. Low budget horrors like this need gore if you ask me. The directing was OK with some strange shaky angles and the whole cave place where the Leprechaun lived looked pretty good. On the whole it probably wasn't as good as the first but was still an enjoyable little B movie.

    I thought this was going to be a solid sequel to the first Leprechaun, but I was wrong. Very wrong. Instead, it is a horribly done, poor poor sequel to what was originally a great film. This installment is about the Leprechaun, who falls in love with this blonde girl. Sounds stupid already right? The movie is even worse. Everything in this one seems poorly done, the acting, the scenery, the plot. It just doesn't seem like it should be in the Leprechaun franchise. Watch the first one instead, that's the one you will get any joy out of. This one is just a pitiful waste of time.

    I watched this film and its predecessor "Leprechaun" back-to-back whilst feeling unwell at Christmas. I have to say that the quality of the production of the sequel is far better than that of the first film, presumably because of a larger budget. The quality of acting is better than in the first film (with the exception of Jennifer Aniston, it couldn't be any worse), the story is slightly better too although there are a number of continuity issues between the first and second films, especially considering that the Leprechaun himself is the same character/actor in both films. The second film is also much more bloodthirsty than the first and the Leprechaun seems to harm more people - whether or not they have any of his precious gold. There is something about the film which is appealing - but I have no idea what it is.

    . . . Leprechaun 2 truly failed miserably in it's attempt at a decent sequel. I absolutely adore B-Movies, when they're done right, and to make me even more disappointed with this installment, I found the first Leprechaun to be appealing in every way a horror B-Movie needs to be, and was ready to see how this turned out. The second film in the Leprechaun series, though, is just terribly terrible.

    They had fun, kind of, with the first one, because they knew it wasn't Oscar material and they ended up making a fun and enjoyable film. However, they tried so hard to make this believable and even a creative and respected work of art that it sickens the audience. The acting from everyone was lower than second-rate, except the main girl who annoyed the fire out of me. Her acting sucked completely. The leprechaun is not as intimidating and creepy as he is in the first, nor is he as lovable and laughable as he is in the third, and the deaths were stupid, in a bad way, while the ones in the first and third were stupid, in a good way.

    The only things that kept this movie from getting a flat out 1/10 were that it was entertaining to an extent at times, mainly due to the fact that I suspected it to live up to the first and get way better at any point in the movie, and it had a lot of good, fresh ideas which made the film somewhat tolerable. Still, I thought this was horrible; a complete let down. It had only a few upsides and anyone who wants to enjoy the series should go straight from the first film to the second, for both are way better than this could ever be.

    There was a small part of me that kind of enjoyed the awfulness of the first movie, I obviously found out the amount of sequels that followed it, this was the first, and last, of them to be released in cinemas, I wasn't expecting any improvement in quality, I just wanted a different sort of scary movie when it was coming up to Halloween. Basically in medieval times, William O'Day (James Lancaster) is chased by a nasty Leprechaun (Warwick Davis), after he attempted to steal his pot of gold, he locks the young man in a collar and threatens to kill him if he tries to escape. The Leprechaun tells William that today, St. Patrick's Day, it his 1,000th birthday, this means he can choose any woman to be his bride, provided the woman sneezes thrice and no one says "God bless you", he promises to release William once he is married. But the woman he chooses happens to be William's daughter, the Leprechaun uses his magic to cause her to sneeze, but William intervenes saying "God bless you, my child", therefore denying the Leprechaun his bride. William tries to run, but the Leprechaun uses his magic on the collar to lift him up and break up neck, but not before cursing him, saying he will marry his descendant in in a thousand years, his daughter discovers his corpse. In present day Los Angeles, the next descendant of the O'Day bloodline sixteen-year-old Bridget Callum (Shevonne Durkin), she is dating Cody Ingalls (Charlie Heath), who with his alcoholic scam artist uncle Morty, also his legal guardian (Sandy Baron), runs a rip-off celebrity ghost hunting tour. The Leprechaun is brought into present day by a homeless man with a gold tooth, which the Leprechaun pulls out, and he steals his bottle of whiskey, he also bites off the finger of talent agent (Mark Kiely) to steal his gold ring. Following an argument with Cody, Bridget flirts with and goes on a date with sleazy Ian (Adam Biesk), after which he shows his true colours and tries to seduce her outside her home, but she refuses and punches him. Ian is about to leave, then suddenly the garage door opens, Bridget walks forward and apologises, she then seductively lures him into the garage, she slowly removes her clothes, the Leprechaun is there watching, in fact he has used his magic to trick Ian into thinking Bridget is seducing him, he leans forward to kiss the invisible Bridget, unaware that he is actually leaning into an overturned lawnmower with the blades spinning, blood splatters everywhere as the blades make contact with his face. Shortly afterwards, Cody appears at the door to apologise and give Bridget a bunch of flowers, this causes her to sneeze, as she is about to sneeze a third time, he is about to say "God bless you", but Leprechaun stops him, strangling him with a telephone cord. The Leprechaun grabs Bridget and takes her to his lair, Cody notices that he dropped one of his gold coins before leaving, the Leprechaun invites her to be intimate with him, but she refuses him, he tells her that he will modify her body in order to force her into bear his children, either by rape or sexual intercourse if she will ever consent. The Leprechaun tries to seduce her with his gold, but notices one coin is missing, and sets out to find it. Bridget begs him to let her go and says she wants to please him, he summons a red dress and instructs her to be wearing it when he returns, he licks her face before leaving, and tells her any attempt to escape is hopeless. Bridget tries the numerous passage ways to find a way out of the Leprechaun's lair, but she finds it is enchanted, it is a maze with no exit unless the Leprechaun wills it to be so, she finds the magic toying with her, and rocks she lays to mark her steps disappear, so she saves an awl to try and kill the Leprechaun for later. After being questioned by police, Cody tells Morty what happened, Morty initially thinks he is crazy, but believes him when they escape the Leprechaun trying to attack them. Morty and Cody go to a bar, filled with many little people dressed as leprechauns to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, while there an African-American Leprechaun (Tony Cox) offers him a golden chocolate coin. The Leprechaun appears, Morty challenges him to a drinking contest in honour of his wedding, while the Leprechaun drinks pure whiskey, Morty is actually drinking soda and water, the Leprechaun becomes extremely drunk, allowing Morty and Cody to escape. The Leprechaun sobers up in a coffee shop and murders a waiter (Michael McDonald) making fun of his size and speech, he scolds him to death using hot steam from a coffee machine. When the Leprechaun returns, Morty and Cody manage to trap him inside a wrought iron safe, this is the only thing that can harm the creature, Morty takes advantage of the opportunity to claim three wishes and locks Cody in the store room. His first wish is for the Leprechaun's gold, his stomach suddenly grotesquely stretches, the gold has been put inside him, for being greedy, Morty wishes the Leprechaun out of the safe to help him, and his third wish is for the gold to removed from his stomach, so the Leprechaun tears open his stomach, killing him. Cody manages to break out of the store room, a security guard enters, but the Leprechaun tricks him with his Bridget impersonation, he is killed by being run over twice by a go-kart. The Leprechaun demands his gold coin back, but Cody realises that as long as he holds it, the Leprechaun cannot harm him, leading him to run to the Leprechaun's lair to rescue Bridget. The Leprechaun returns to his lair and anticipates Cody's arrival, Bridget in the red dress pretends she has accepted her fate, she attempts to stab him with the awl, but it is not made of wrought iron, so it breaks. The Leprechaun is enraged, as it was favourite awl given to him by his father, he is about to punish Bridget, but he hears Cody's car approaching, so he puts a collar around her and bounds her to a tree. The Leprechaun chases Cody, while Bridget breaks the collar using the broken awl, she and Cody eventually reunite and try to escape, but are still running in circles due to the enchanted passageways. Bridget convinces Cody that giving the coin back to the Leprechaun will stop him chasing them, Cody is reluctant as it is the only keeping him alive, she kisses him, and he hands to her, but this is not the real Bridget, the Leprechaun has tricked him. The real Bridget appears and tells the Leprechaun she will go with him if he does not Cody, he agrees and knocks Cody across the room, he then starts to lead her to his wedding bed. Suddenly Cody stabs the Leprechaun through his chest with an iron crowbar, Cody points out that the gold coin he gave him was in fact made of chocolate, as the Leprechaun dies, his magic over the lair dies, revealing the exit for Cody and Bridget. They escape the lair, and the Leprechaun explodes behind them, Bridget questions how he knew it was not her kissing him, he tells her she kisses differently, and he decides it is not worth keeping the gold coin, he throws it away. Also starring Clint Howard as The Tourist, Kimmy Robertson as Tourist's Girlfriend and Samantha Davis (Warwick's wife) as Bar Patron. Davis again relishes being the Irish mischievous monster, he is still very protective of his gold, and does some shoe polishing, and still makes cheeky quips and talking rhymes. Apart from Davis, the rest of the actors are naff and given dreadful dialogue, this time the story is a little less about the gold, it is about the creature going on a killing spree while finding himself a bride, hence why it is sometimes referred to as One Wedding and Lots of Funerals, as it came out the same year as Four Weddings and a Funeral, you can laugh mostly at how bad it is, there is slight fun to be had, but it is another lacklustre horror comedy. Poor!

    A thousand years ago, the Leprechaun, Warwick David("Willow", "Leprechaun"), left a bloody trail when he ripped through the countryside in search of his stolen pot of gold. Now he's back in the big city using all of his deadly tricks to snare the girl of his nightmares. His bloody quest becomes more deadly when her boyfriend steals on of the Irish monster's precious gold coins. The town soon discovers two dead bodies and a trail of gold dust leads them to the Leprechaun's lair. It's a pot full O'blood, guts and horror as the leprechaun goes on a wild rampage filled with grisly thrills and gruesome special effects,

    Leprechaun 2 Starring : Warwick Davis

    I believe that this movies focuses more on the people instead of the leprechaun. I think this movie is still good, don't get me wrong but it just doesn't give the feel of the first one. The Leprechaun is in the big city looking for his bride, killing anyone who gets in his way. This time luck has nothing to do with it, as the Leprechaun goes on a killing spree to find his gold & his bride to be! Worth a rent.

    The cute terrifying Leprechaun stole my heart forever with this movie and now I am eager to see all the sequences. The dialogue and especially the voice of Leprechaun make the movie fun and evil... I no longer wonder why Leprechaun is one of the legendary horror films.

    Leprechaun 2 is a big disappointment if you saw the first.The killings are weak and the plot is dumb.In the first movie he goes after people because they stole his gold.In this one he wants a bride and doesn't care about his coins;Just anything gold.He lets people get away and it has too many funny parts to be scary,also it really slow.There's no one that famous in it; the only good thing about this movie is it's got Warick Davis. Don't waste your time with this movie.I give it ** out of ***** stars.

    Yeah this one is definitely worse then the last one but Warwick makes the movie with the cheesy one-liners and the rhyming. Getting one step closer to Leprechaun in the hood.

    The problem with the first movie was the fact that it was taking itself too seriously at times, but this sequel does the right thing by embracing the ridiculous nature of the character.On the one hand, the new human characters are more likeable than the ones in the first movie and the title character is always entertaining to watch.The plot on the other hand is a completely different story because it is so confusing and inconsistent that it is a mystery to figure out if this movie is connected to the first one.

    I love how warrick davis played the evil little leprechaun yet again , I really love how the lep rhymes and shows more of his magic

    The only person I didn't care for was the character Bridget , I just really disliked the character, she was very annoying to even watch , the acting was just better bad

    Davis made up for her though with his evil funny humor ,

    I loved how lep wanted to find himself a bride and would stop at nothing to get his hands on her

    Only part I couldn't understand was his weakness , I'm not sure why they changed that

    But other wise another great job by Davis :)

    The original 'Leprechaun' movie might had a lot of flaws; but the film had a few things going for it; that this sequel directed by Rodman Flender is lacking. One of them is Jennifer Aniston. While, her acting ability at the time was super green. Her premise in the film, gave a good reason for modern audiences to look back and check it out. After all, her television series 'Friends' (1994-2004) has be off the air, nearly two decades now, but that hasn't stopped us millennials from continuously watching reruns of it. There is something about her, that fascinating, beside her good looks. She seem to radiate charisma and charm. She has that 'it factor', the je ne sais quoi. Sadly, 'Leprechaun 2' also known as 'Leprechaun II: One Wedding and Lots of Funerals' does not have her character, nor any other from the first film. None of the original characters get even a mention, in this movie written by Turi Meyer & Al Septie. We know, nothing on what happen to them. The sequel also abandoned any continuous storylines from the first movie, instead, focusing on a really disturbing angle, in which, the sadistically evil leprechaun (Warwick Davis) tries to force a nuptial on a woman, Bridget Callum (Shevonne Durkin) in order to consummate; while her off & on, boyfriend, Cody Ingalls (Charlie Heath) tries to prevent it. Without spoiling the movie, too much, I hate this plot; as it goes against everything, the leprechaun folklore is known for. Leprechauns are solitary creatures, whom avoids human beings in fear of them, stealing their gold. They are not horny little dwarfs looking for offsprings. Not only that, but adding the threat of rape, kinda undermine the comedy shenanigans, & sucks the fun out of the room. It's stinks, because normally, most of the time, the performers playing the main leads, are so utterly poor in acting ability & charisma, plus their characters so unlikeable, that I find myself cheering for the leprechaun. Sadly, I can't root for him, here. Not only that; but the whole threating to rape somebody, kinda ruin the fan service. The appearance of obvious badly done body double boobs make everything seem more in poor taste. Plus, 'the damsel in distress force to wed' trope has been done to death. It's a horror trope that seem out of place in today's world. Plus, it has been recycled, way too much. Even, the direct to video "Leprechaun 4: In Space', use this. That's how generic, it is. Not only that, but the marriage plot doesn't make much sense. Why is the leprechaun trying to get revenge on a dead theft, by marrying his descendant in a thousand years-time on St Patrick's Day!? I don't think, the theft cares! Seeing that he been long dead by then. So, what is the point? Also, why does the Leprechaun need children? That's just more gold to share. It just doesn't add up. Another problem with this sequel, is the fact, that the leprechaun cannot hurt anybody that holds his coin. Yet, in the first movie; he was able, too. Even, if this is a completely different leprechaun who just happens to be in Los Angeles, and look like the original who was burn up and toss in a well in North Dakota. That 'can't kill the person holding the coin' gimmick still doesn't make sense. The reason why, is because the leprechaun was able to kill, another character holding a pot of gold, later in this same film. Having this gimmick, felt like a really lazy ex Machina to keep the hero, in the same playing field. Along with the wrought iron. It really doesn't seem well plan out. As for the action scenes. They were still highly unbelievable & silly. However, they didn't stand out as much as the first movie. Much of it, seem like rethread; such as the case, with the Leprechaun riding a mini Go-Kart. Nevertheless, the deaths were a lot better than the first film, even if some of them, lack the gory special effects like the lawnmower scene. Although, much of those sequences, was uncalled for, as it didn't move the plot, along. If anything, it slow the movie, really down, like the Barista scene. The movie already had enough filler scenes. It was dragging so much. Mostly, involving the love triangle between the two leads and a secondary character. Despite that, the movie still has plenty of scenes of Warwick Davis hammy it up, as that is what the audience pay to go see. Nevertheless, I still wish, he did better films. Davis has a wonderful voice. He really didn't need to do a series of offensive Irish stereotypes in make-up. He would had done, better. Overall: This is my least favorite movie of the film series, besides the 2014's reboot 'Leprechaun: Origin'. In the end, there isn't enough booze in the world to make me, watch this film, again. There is a good reason why this was the final entry in the series to be released theatrically & it shows. This movie is not a pot of gold. It's a pot of shite. Avoid at all cost.

    I know a lot of people consider this to be the best of the series, which let's face it doesn't say much, but I personally preferred the original movie by a whisker. This starts off 1000 years ago where the little Irish fella is trying to get himself a wife. Fast forward to present day (well 1994) Los Angeles and he's got his sights on pretty Bridget (Shevonne Durkin), trouble is she has a boyfriend who will do anything to protect her. Plenty of fun & gory moments to be had here.
