Wedding Day Jitters
Warwick Davis is back as The Leprechaun! Even though he blew up at the end of the first film, he's still back.
The film starts in Ireland several, several years ago where the Leprechaun is looking for a bride. He has obtained a slave named William, who was some guy who wanted the gold and somehow this made him a slave. The Leprechaun has his eyes on William's daughter. According to the story, the girl that he seeks must sneeze three times and if no one says "God Bless You", she's his. So William's daughter sneezes three times but William himself God Blesses the daugther. So as a result, The Leprechaun as to wait a thousand years to get the great-great-great-great-great-etc...granddaughter of Williams.
A thousand years later, on St. Patrick's Day nonetheless, in Los Angles, said great times 30 granddaughter is the somewhat hot Bridget, who is dating this guy named Cody. Cody works for this old dude named Morty, who runs a "Darkside Tour" showing supposedly haunted houses and, according to Cody, the floating head of Jane Mansfield.
Morty is suppose to drive a hearse full of customers who got tricked onto this tour, but he drank himself silly in a bar, so Cody and Bridget end up giving the tour. Bridget isn't too happy with this because they had a date to go go-cart racing. But she's P.O'd at Cody so she goes off with this dude Ian, who works at the go-cart track.
How did the Leprechaun get from Ireland to America, L.A specifically? He hid himself in this tree that was given to Harry Houdini, which was planted in some park. So on the thousand year anniversary, the Leprechaun springs from the tree and steals a homeless man's gold tooth. Then he goes searching for Bridget.
Ian drops her off at home, but rebuffs him, stating that she and Cody are still together. She punches him (really) and runs into her house, while Ian starts to go home. But in Bridget's garage, he sees Bridget calling to him. To further entice him, she takes her clothes off (woo!). Too bad this is a trick by the Leprechaun and the nice pair of boobies are actually rotating lawn mower blades. Oops.
Cody comes and apologizes to Bridget, but the Leprechaun chose this moment to claim his bride. He knocks Cody out and takes Bridget to his tree-home. I'm tempted to say treehouse but I won't stoop that low. Cody manages to snag a gold coin from the Leprechaun's pot of gold, which the Leprechaun notices when he chains Bridget inside his tree home. So he decides to go get his coin back before he shags Bridget, which he makes plenty o' comments about.
The police think Cody killed Ian and search for him at Morty's. Cody then tries to convience Morty, who acts like George Carlin throughout the movie, that a leprechaun is after him. Of course Morty doesn't believe it until the Leprechaun himself appears. They run away from him but he tracks them down at a bar.
There, Morty tries to get him good and drunk so he can't do any powers, but that doesn't go over too well. Cody and Morty, armed with the knowledge that iron kills or weakens the Leprechaun, try to get him trapped into an iron safe, which is located at the go-cart track.
There, they run into a security guard who takes his job WAY too seriously but the Leprechaun kills him pretty good. They manage to get The Leprechaun into the safe but Morty screws it up when he locks Cody in another room and makes the Leprechaun give him three wishes. Of course they turn against Morty when a pot of gold grows inside Morty (Long story).
Cody escapes the room but The Leprechaun attempts to mow him over with a suped up go cart, but The Leprechaun can't kill anyone who still possess a gold coin. So finally, Cody goes to the treehouse (oops I did it, sorry) to look for Bridget, who is trying to free herself. Things get creepy when The Leprechaun describes many ways he's gonna boink her, but Cody, thank God, breaks things up. The Leprechaun wants the gold coin, Cody wants Bridget, and Bridget is gonna want years of therepy to get over the creepyness of the Leprechaun.
After running around the Leprechauns treehouse (that's twice) and getting lost for a painful 20 minutes, The Leprechaun tricks Cody by turning into Bridget and asks for the coin. But Cody is wise to the trick and gives him a fake gold coin, then stabs him with an thing of Iron, making the Leprechaun blow up. Cody throws away the real coin.
This sequel is nothing like the original, there is no funny moment or any goofy action scenes. But the Leprechaun does come up with some clever rhymes, I'll give him that. But I didn't like the creepiness he gave off when he kept making sexual comments to Bridget.
One last interesting thing to point out are the cameos by Clint Howard and Tony Cox, the foul mouth midget in "Me, Myself, and Irene" and "Bad Santa". Too bad he wasn't foul mouth in this movie.
"Man, you F-in Leprechaun, go suck my ass!"
1 star.
