LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD (Video Release USA 2000)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.1|5.0 Starsììì

Leprechaun in the Hood—better than its precursor—rates as the best in the Leprechaun series to date. This film has a solid storyline and concept. Improved portrayal of character and the inclusion of Ice-T add spice and a little ‘bling’ to this part of the Leprechaun series.
