A few thoughts: Leprechaun in Vegas! Yeah, so in case you didn't know by now, this is when the series *really* stops kidding around with that whole "horror movie" thing. I know I said that about the second one, but this entire movie is just a bunch of ridiculous stupidity with zero horror at all. Well, apart from the over-the-top death scenes. Yet again, they give Warwick Davis about a thousand one-liners, and while some are just stupid limericks, others made me burst into laughter. Without his performance, these movies would be totally unwatchable, but his weird charm and obvious dedication is ridiculously infectious, making even the lousiest of material entertaining. As for the rest of the movie, this is the beginning of the super gimmicky films in the series, making tons of jokes that rely on the setting and the silliness of a Leprechaun going around killing people in that particular environment. He's a perfect horror villain to plug into places like this, and while the jokes often don't land, when they do it's pretty wonderful. Hammy, dumb, and very watchable.
People who enjoy the cornier aspects of the first two Leprechaun movies. If you want to see him run around Vegas, this is exactly what you'd expect to see.
My grade: C-
