Despite middling reviews, the original 1993 Leprechaun film was a cult-classic, a financial success, and marked the film debut of a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston. It set a fairly high bar for the sequels that followed, one that 2003’s Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood managed to shimmy under without breaking a sweat. To be fair, the sixth installment in any franchise is probably scraping the bottom of the barrel. But really — making a movie chock full of racial stereotypes while rehashing the same old plot (Yes, you still can’t take this leprechaun’s gold without him hunting you down and killing you) is just lazy. A hint to filmmakers: When you have to resort to a title that looks like something tapped out on a cell phone by a 13-year-old upper-middle-class suburban kid desperate to prove to his friends just how gangsta he is, that’s probably a sign your movie is in trouble. Even if it is straight-to-video.
