Well here it is. The sixth in the Leprechaun Series. Were we last left off the Leprecahun was in the Hood, killing all the homies, but after being killed off again, we all thought that his time had passed. But now 3 years later, a new company, and a new producer comes the next installment.

The Film starts with Emily falling down a hole in an abandond construction field. Once in there she finds a forest, and a treasure box, which she finds has an unlimited supply of gold. When she finds the money, her and her friend go on a spending spree, but what they don't realize is that they have awakend a Leprechaun that Wnats his Gold.

I had very, very low hopes going into this movie, and I'm glad to say that i was pleasently surprised. This has got to be the best Leprechaun film in a long while. The Cast (for the most part) actually knows how to act... I know shocking, lol. And in this installment they do into the mythology of the Leprechaun, which i like alot. And Tangi Miller (from Tv's Felicity) plays the main character.

The Special FEatures include 4 storyboards, the Trailer, a Commentary with Davis and the Directior (Great & Fun), and another Commentary with the Technical Crew.

I am one of the people who love the Leprechaun movies(some people hate them). But they do have a fan bases and I actually think Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood is the best in the series. But I haven't seen Leprechaun 1 and 4. So it is the best of the series so far. It probably still will be the best after I watch 1 and 4. The reason I didn't see those ones is because my movie store only has Leprechaun 2,3,5,6. Leprechaun 6 is also really funny. Which anyone who has ever watched a Leprechaun movie knows they are comical I couldn't stop laughing half the time. I think Leprechaun fans will love this movie and people who didn't like Leprechaun in the Hood should give this a chance and watch, because they are very different movies. I wasn't very pleased with Leprechaun in the Hood myself and I found myself really enjoying this one. One of the things I enjoyed about the movie is the action, it had pretty good action. It also had a great preformance(as usual)by Warwick Davis(the Leprechaun). By the way the Leprechaun looks the best in this one too. Make-up wise and costume wise. One thing I am wondering why didn't the Leprechaun use any of his magic, he could have at least used it once, even though him fighting it out all the time was great. I at least wanted him to use it once. I think in Leprechaun 7 he should fight it out mostly all the time but use his magic maybe a couple times to do something, just open a door with your magic once, at least you used it. With a cheap DVD price it is worth buying because it is a good movie and has a good replay value.

What a hoot! I laughed my way through this whole movie! The characters were the perfect fodder for our mad Leprechaun friend. A bunch of terrible actors try to act 'ghetto', and are as convincing as a midget in a Superman costume. I mean c'mon give me a break. They acted out every bad cliche from 'Juice' and 'Boys in da Hood'.

Now the movie itself is great. Ghetto Queen finds the treasure and passes it around to her homies. They buy what you'd expect, cars, jewelry, weaves, gold teeth, and an ample supply of marijuana. Well our little green friend 'don't play dat'. He kills with a bong, rips your fillings out, takes an electric razor to the eye, kills the rival gang, burns in a furnace, is shot with hallow point rounds (filled with four leaf clovers ha ha ha!!!), but best of all he kills two cops and steals their car. How can a leprechaun drive you ask? Easy! He rips the leg off one of the cops and uses it because he can't reach the pedals. Classic.

Ill be honest, this wasnt the best flick in the series, but I love it just the same, being 100% irish as I am, I love the mix of evil and irish, so much in fact half of my tattoo sleeve in the leprechaun himself.

This film is my favorite in the whole Leprechaun series. I liked 5 because he talked in rhymes and even rapped, which I didn't think was that bad. This film has a lot of good stuff in it. I like how it was funny, but also kind of creepy. The whole party scene with him was hilarious and I loved when he came face-to-waist with the gang of drug dealers. It all came to a close that I just didn't want to see, the ending. I loved the movie and hated to see the credits roll onto the screen.

The film is about poor people in the hood who stumble across a bunch of gold, which won't go away. They start using it for their own things, and so the Leprechaun comes for them. I liked the dialogue because it was so off the wall at times, it was downright hilarious. What's wrong with laughing at a horror movie? It means you enjoyed something about it a little differently than others.

I think they should make another in the hood because it seems like the ones set there are the funniest and most creative. I thought the one in space was actually really good too. Now I think New Line needs to follow this formula putting Jason in the Hood because that would be fun to watch. Jason do a drive by with his machete sticking out the window, chopping rival gangmembers in half, smoking weed with his homies, getting the munchies! That would be cool. But Leprachaun Back 2 Tha Hood is definitely worth buying, even if you laugh. It's supposed to be humorous and/or scary at the same time. Go out now and buy this treasure.

This is one of the better Leprechaun movies i've seen in sometime. If you have the "Pot of Gore" collection , buy this along with it cause it does make a difference in the end seeing that 1-3 were truly good, the 4th movie was tragic story wise and the movie as a whole, however, the 5th movie wasnt bad, but, it still needed work in some way. But, with all the Leprechaun movies, this one truly does stand out.

The thing that surprised me about Lep 6 is that out of all the films, it looks the most like a "real" movie. That is, the cinematography and direction is not far behind any recent blockbuster, which doesn't say much for recent horror movies... The acting is predictably cheesy, but at least it doesn't take itself too seriously.

However.

Lep doesn't rhyme at all. He doesn't rap (as he did in what I now refer to as "Back 1 tha hood", retroactively). The movie has it's moments of ridiculous glee, but it's not as much of a train wreck as previous Lep movies. Especially the previous "Back 1 tha hood" and "Lep in Space" debacles.

Being one who only viewed this movie for the entertainment value of how awful it was, this does not bode well. When the movie is trying to be scary (and it is one of the scariest lep films, imagine that) it's merely boring.

Listen to the director's commentary for a racist remark. "Because you know, having a white person steal from a black person is a bit of a role reversal!" met by silence from a probably stunned Warwick Davis.

Here's to Lep 7: Back 3 tha hood being better.

Mediocre describes this laughable direct-to-video with the Leprechaun going back to the hood and starting a killing spree looking for his gold. Basically a remake to Leprechaun in the Hood with terrible special effects and bad acting but this movie is so inept and hilarious its almost as absurd as Leprechaun 4 and this funniest parts are when the Leprechaun jams a bong in a man's stomach and when he rips a cop's leg off while wanting to fight. Watch only once or twice but stick with parts 1,2,3.

I Loved the Leprechuan Series, 1-4 , number 5 was a horriable horriable movie and i think what they screwed up in the fifth was made back in the sixth. The bong scence was genuis

This is one of the best Leprechaun movies. It is very well written and provides the viewer with lots of entertainment. Weather you like the series for horror or comedy this ones fulfills each criteria and proves the Leprechaun is still fresh and fun to watch. This is a great buy!!!
