Review: Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997)

Ah, the inevitable "in space" sequel. Unfortunately, no matter where you set this flick, it would be dull. Leprechaun 4 just doesn't seem to be about the Leprechaun: there are all of these trite little side-plots that muck up the film, and not enough funny lines for Davis to deliver.

There's no real "golden coin" plot to this one, as Lep is just after a humanoid princess, whose tissue happens to regenerate, hence the interest of the body-less Dr. Mittenhands, and then there's the love interest and the crazy Sergeant, and on and on and on and on....yawn.

Really, we get one good Leprechaun line: "Share? Now there's a word that lies crooked upon my heart." We also get the little Leprechaun light sabre. The rest of the film is the crew of the spaceship talking and walking around looking for Davis. Real ho-hum stuff.

I don't recommed this one. There is no gore, no funny killings really, and way too little of the wee bastard we've come to know and love.
