Begorrah and BeGosh, tis Leprechaun: Origins

There are few franchises as mindbogglingly awful as the Leprechaun series of films which are amongst the most awfully bad trash out there. And as you expect, someone decided that it was time to remake it so WWE studios, who have a pretty decent track record of making decent low budget action films jumped at the chance to bring back everyones favorite small guy for what promises to be 90 minutes of awful Oirish accents and blood shed.

There are some films that go unheralded as the classics they are.

There are some that shape the art of cinema, forging new paths of narrative storytelling.

And then there are such as the Leprechaun: What other film has changed the way we perceive our art? What other film has been such a rich vein of inspiration and joy in the tapestry of celluloid, nourishing the dreams of scriptwriters and cinematographers alike, propelling generations of actors to step up to the gilded plate of thespian glory and utter lines of such immortal luminescence that they make grown men weep?

I, for one, am awaiting this new voyage with bated breath.

Doesn't look like Warwick Davis is in it.

I assume that there's a wrestler playing the title role.

Hornswaggle is the wrestler playing the role, Warwick doesn't even get a cameo in the film.


I like the film series. It's awful, it's trashy and the acting (Outsise of Davis) is dreadful, but I'm always entertained in some shape or form when watching them.

not worst irish accents ever.

hope for a cameo from Seamus

Actually, Leprechaun 4: In Space was comedic gold, it's so ridiculous that you have to love it. I think it's the only decent movie in the franchise thus far. A film truly deserving of the title 'so bad it's good'.

there is a bit in the trailer were some wan reads and old book and says "twatha day dunnan"* - then the dude asks "what does that mean" - she replies "Leprechaun"

*phonetic spelling how she mispronounces tuatha dé danann

It might just be crap editing for the trailer - but if it isn't, I think you need to go back and consult your dictionary love :rolleyes:

I second that, and I feel the same way about Leprechaun in the hood. So completely ridiculous its genuinely hilarious.

It sounds like a line from a spell in Willow.
