🍿 Leprechaun 2: Detailed Plot Synopsis

A Thousand Years Ago

The film opens in 1094 A.D. on St. Patrick’s Day. The Leprechaun, celebrating his 1000th birthday, seeks a bride according to his ancient traditions. He enslaves William O’Day, promising freedom in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage. When the Leprechaun chooses O’Day’s daughter, William intervenes, disrupting the ritual and incurring the Leprechaun’s wrath.

Modern-Day Los Angeles

The story jumps to present-day Los Angeles on St. Patrick’s Day. Cody, a young man running a spooky Hollywood tour with his swindler uncle Morty, is dating Bridget, a descendant of the O’Day family. The Leprechaun resurfaces, seeking to fulfill his thousand-year-old vow to marry O’Day’s descendant. He’s awakened by a homeless man and immediately begins his quest, leaving a trail of comedic yet gruesome deaths in his wake.

The Hunt for a Bride and Gold

The Leprechaun sets his sights on Bridget, using his magic to manipulate events and eliminate anyone standing in his way. When Cody accidentally obtains one of the Leprechaun’s gold coins, he becomes a target. With his uncle Morty, Cody must protect Bridget and find a way to defeat the Leprechaun, learning that wrought iron is the creature’s weakness. The pursuit leads them through various locations in Hollywood, including a bar filled with little people and a go-kart track.

Personal Review

Okay, so Leprechaun 2 isn’t exactly Oscar material, but I gotta admit, it’s a guilty pleasure! Warwick Davis is hilarious as the Leprechaun, and the over-the-top gore is so ridiculous that it’s actually funny. I especially loved the scene where the Leprechaun gets drunk at the bar – pure comedic gold! It is a fun movie to watch on St. Patrick’s Day with friends.

Professional Reviews

• Horror Haven: “Leprechaun 2 is a fun, albeit cheesy, ride. Warwick Davis shines as the titular villain, delivering witty one-liners and over-the-top antics. While the plot is absurd and the acting is uneven, it’s a solid B-movie experience that’s perfect for a late-night viewing with friends. Just don’t expect high art.
• Slasher Cinema: “This sequel amps up the gore and dark humor, but loses some of the original’s charm. Davis is still a blast to watch, but the story is more convoluted, and the kills, while creative, feel somewhat forced. If you’re a fan of cheesy horror, you might enjoy it, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
• Cult Movie Corner: “Leprechaun 2 embraces its B-movie status, offering a wacky and entertaining experience. The plot is bonkers, the acting is hammy, and the special effects are delightfully low-budget. It’s a cult classic that’s sure to elicit some laughs. While not perfect, it’s a fun and memorable horror romp.

Audience Reactions

Fans loved the cheesy special effects and Warwick Davis’ performance.: Most viewers agreed that the movie is bad but fun, embracing its B-movie nature.

Overall Consensus: Leprechaun 2 is a cheesy but fun horror-comedy sequel that mostly delivers on its B-movie promise. It is fun to watch on St. Patrick’s Day, but might be too ridiculous for some viewers.

Awards

🛠️ Behind the Scenes

• “One of the discarded drafts focused on the leprechaun seeking revenge on Tory Redding (from the first film), tricking her into marrying him. Jennifer Aniston was offered $25,000 to reprise her role but declined due to her commitment to the TV series *Friends*.”
• “The film disregards the method of killing the Leprechaun from the first movie, where a four-leaf clover was needed. In this film, wrought iron is used, creating a continuity error, though it can be argued that this is a different Leprechaun.”
• “The movie is also known as *One Wedding and Lots of Funerals*, a play on the title of the popular film *Four Weddings and a Funeral* released the same year.”
