It was a normal night in Las Vegas, Nevada, all the lights were flashing brightly, until a man with one hand, one eye, and one leg walks into a pawn shop with a statue of a hideous looking Leprechaun. The owner claims it's a good luck charm. The statue also wore a medallion around it's neck. The careless pawn shop owner took off the medallion setting the Leprechaun free...

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
one-nine-eighty If you read my review of "Leprechaun" and "Leprechaun 2" and wondered if Warwick Davies survived then welcome to your answer….. No, he died in the first film and again in the second film…. But Yes, he came back!!If "Leprechaun" was about a pot'o'gold…. And "Leprechaun 2" is about getting a wife then "Leprechaun 3 is about the perils of magical wishes with a nod to the greed of Las Vegas - I say nod as if there was more of a similarity or even a juxtaposition against wealth and greed this film could have been quite clever… but lets face it, if you have read my previous reviews you know the Leprechaun films are more tongue in cheek than serious, using Las Vegas probably made somebody chuckle rather than them thinking it was a serious statement.The film starts, a one-legged, one-handed, one-eyed down on his luck fella brings a statue of a Leprechaun wearing a gold medallion into a pawn shop. Thinking he's got a bargain the owner pays up and studies the statue, also casually removing the medallion thus freeing the Leprechaun from his stone like slumber - queue all hell breaking loose under the lights of Vegas. Scott, a freshman who is just passing through Vegas gets sucked into all the action, first of all meeting a magicians assistant, then getting sucked into gambling in a casino, and then pawning his rolex to fund his newly acquired gambling addiction. Somewhere along the way Scott get's bitten by the Leprechaun and simultaneously injures the Leprechaun - the result is cross contamination of blood which will ultimately turn Scott into a life size Leprechaun/human mutant - what are the chances of this happening?!This film is better than the 2nd film but not as good as the 1st Leprechaun film, it carries a lot of similarities and is camper than rainbow tent in a rainbow field. It features all the fan favourites like bad acting, poor story, rubbish action and awful effects, it even has a battle at the end which could spell the end of the Leprechaun.Surely this has to be the last Leprechaun film you say… well read my review of "Leprechaun 4 - A Leprechaun in Space" to find out.
jeffreyhillen-364-945381 When watching a series of films you always hope to see it improve. The more movies, the better it gets. With Leprechaun that isn't the case because how further you get watching it the more terrible it gets. And with a third movie you know what is going to happen, the jokes are getting old. It isn't that funny anymore.It's great to see that Warwick tries to get out of it as much as possible. But the other actors where terrible. I hated it that the Leprechaun had such few scenes. It was only focused on the main characters and the characters in the casino. This did created a great character development, but these films must be focused on the Leprechaun like in the first film and that wasn't the case. And when the Leprechaun comes in he's beaten so easily. So I was disappointed and hated this film. Though I do give my compliments to Warwick Davis, such a talented actor on that age. In Leprechaun films he actually shows how great a actor he actually is, and what his strength as an actor is.Don't be surprised for the bad vote I give this film, once you read my review. I give this film 3/10 Bad acting performances, bad scriptwriting/storyline, bad Leprechaun scenes , though a good character development, and great performance by Warwick Davis.
Toronto85 The leprechaun takes his gold shillings to Las Vegas in "Leprechaun 3". It starts off in a pawn shop in Las Vegas, we see that the leprechaun we know and love is stone-like - captured thanks to a magical golden medallion put around his neck. It comes off somehow, and when it does the Leprechaun comes alive and begins his terror! We get introduced to our main characters Scott and Tammy who meet on the Vegas strip. Tammy works in a Casino which is perfect for Scott because he's looking to gamble. He ends up with one of the Leprechaun's magical gold coins which he uses to win at the roulette table, leading to many of the shady casino staff questioning him and trying to steal his winnings. All the while, the Leprechaun is killing people left, right, and center - mostly in hilariously evil ways. It's up to Scott and Tammy to stop him before he takes over Vegas! I LOVE this movie, it works on so many levels. First off, I love that they shot it in Vegas. It plays well to the script and adds a fun feel to the mayhem that the Leprechaun causes. And boy is this sequel funny. The one liners that the leprechaun shoots out are out of this world hilarious. Leprechaun 3 is in my eyes the funniest in the franchise. I liked the added "rules" of the gold shilling and it's magical powers. We learn that if someone takes a leprechaun's gold, they will be granted with ONE wish. They used a similar rule with uncle Morty in 'Leprechaun 2', but it's a bit different here. The coin gets passed around to so many people in this third film, and each time they wish for something, the leprechaun twists their wish around and kills them with it. It's a lot like 'Wishmaster' in that sense. The acting is good from everyone involved, but Warwick Davis steals the show in this one. His witty lines are top notch. And there is quite a bit of gore and squeamish moments in 'Leprechaun 3', more so than the previous installments.I recommend this to everyone. It has laughs, it has gore, it has the Leprechaun doing an Elvis impersonation... Check this one out, because sadly it's the last of the really good Lep movies. Next, we're off to see the Leprechaun in space. 8/10
tequila101 After watching Leprechaun 2, I thought the series from this film and on, with it's oddly absurd scenes and horrible dialogue would soon fall flat on it's face. By watching the trailer, I had a good feeling that this film would be good, but I still wasn't sure. Boy, this one was way up in the series. It beats Lep 2. Even at one stage I thought it was nearly better than 1! I don't, but I definitely think this is the top Leprechaun sequel of the series. I believe after this Lep film, they suddenly went down hill, because they couldn't think of anymore ideas. Here's why I think Lep 3 is such an awesome sequel.The film's music isn't really heard to the best in my opinion, but it works enough to show the film's true colors. I believe they went back to the more campy/black humor slasher style of the original Leprechaun. They had a great plot like the previous and there were some great characters with absolutely awesome-stupid violence. Even the deaths this time round I felt were funnier.I mostly have to give props to Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun again, as he did a marvelous job with making him more interactive with the human side of life, which includes meeting an Elvis lookalike or sawing fazio on his magic show with a Chainsaw! All of these elements which I positively praise, I think make this sequel a tad stronger than it's predecessor.Sure like every Leprechaun film so far, many of the plot lines and the story itself don't make sense, but it doesn't matter. These films are an excellent time waster, because of how funny they are.I highly recommend Leprechaun 3 as it is definitely one of the best in the series by far.It'll be 7.5/10 schillings out of 10 me las
