Leprechaun: In The Hood/Back 2 tha hood
The Leprechaun series is one of the most notoriously bad in the horror genre. The idea of a killer leprechaun running around murdering innocent people is one that most people struggle to take seriously. The first two films in the series were pretty poor and, running out of ideas,the decision was made to the send him into space.
Not surprisingly, that idea sucked as well.
So for the franchise’s fourth entry they decided to dump the little fella ‘in the hood. The films plot was as preposterous as you’d imagine- two rappers accidentally release the Leprechaun and he goes around the hood killing all kinds of lazy black and stoner stereotypes.
The film is ridiculously offensive but it is certainly more enjoyable than the other entries. It is regarded by some as one of the funniest stoner comedies of all time.
Following the ‘success’ of this they decided to send him back to ‘tha hood’ a few years later and whilst not as enjoyable the film still provoked a few laughs, though it did effectively kill the franchise, which was rebooted last year by WWE studios.
