Oh, hello, creeps. All right, welcome back to
Fright Night Flicks. You're here with Dan and Darren.
Did you? Put a little spice on that.
One, how did you hear that right?
What's up? I'm Darren.
Hi. And I'm Daniel, we will be your
host today for talking about the 2014 Leprechaun origins.
What's that day, Donna? What the What does that mean?
Leprechaun. Come on, I have a question for
you, Darren. Yeah, what's up?
What would you say is the best part about a Leprechaun movie?
I will. I think for sure it's been
Warwick, but it's definitely the idea of the leprechaun.
He's kind of this funny, charismatic creature.
But what would you say if we had a leprechaun movie without a
real leprechaun? I would say, Daniel, we probably
shouldn't review this movie. Well, too late, because that's
what we're doing today. Leprechaun origins.
You would think we're going to go into the depth, the lore of
the leprechaun itself. We're just going to change what
the leprechaun is altogether, because this isn't a leprechaun.
Let's keep it real here. I watched this movie.
I immediately texted Daniel and said we're not doing this.
And then I said why? That's not what.
He said, he said this is a story that needs to be told.
That's when he messaged me. I don't know what that means.
I did text you. Yeah.
I'm like, OK, I guess we're doing this stupid thing.
So I ask you, what is the story that needs to be told Dan?
Well, Darren, that would be the origin of the leprechaun.
You know, I will say it is funny.
I do think this will be fun to talk about because it is so
insane and I can't believe they did this.
Yeah, this is almost to the level of Halloween 3.
Yeah, it's just not executed nearly as well.
Well, yeah, it's not nearly as good as Halloween 3, but I'm
saying like Halloween 12, Michael Myers.
Three, there is no Myers. This one, they pretended like it
was still a leprechaun. It doesn't look like a
leprechaun, doesn't act like a leprechaun.
I completely. Agree, this really isn't a
leprechaun movie at all, they just kind of tried to trick you
into thinking it was. Yeah, let's get into a little
bit about it. If you don't know what it's
about, well, I'm going to tell you.
Not related to the previous Leprechaun films.
Two young couples backpacking through Ireland discover that
one of Ireland's most famous legends is a terrifying reality.
Where'd you get this from? That's where I get everything
IMDb. It actually says not related to
the previous films. Yeah, that's a funny summary.
OK. This is directed by Zach
Lapovsky, writers Harris Wilkinson and actors.
Who the F knows? Rotten Tomatoes critics give it
a Zero Guys 0. Yeah, that's a tough one.
That's pretty special, actually. Have we had a 0 before?
I don't think so. I don't think many movies have
gotten the 0. Well, audience gave it a little
bit more at a 12%. So we are looking at one of the
all time bad movies. Yeah, I would say this is the
worst movie we've ever reviewed. So that's going to be fun.
Now starting off with that kind of negativity, I think we should
move to something positive. It's not negativity, it's just
speaking. The truth.
OK, either way, can we move to something positive?
Yeah, we have a new Apple review by our own patron, Ian Joseph.
Oh, thank you, Ian. Hey, maybe you shouldn't glaze
before we read the review, you know what I mean?
I. Just said thank.
You relax, you can thank him at the end.
Love the podcast, listen to it every day at work and watch your
videos when I'm at home. You guys are hilarious.
Love the breakdowns you give and the trivia.
Keep up the great work, it's amazing.
Also thank you for the shout out on your Leprechaun into Hood
episode, made my day. Thank you so much again, Ian.
That sounds better. Yeah, he let me know.
He actually wrote two of them because he said it was hard.
For the Apple review thing, I don't know, he got confused with
it. Who knows?
It is a little weird sometimes. Hey, but talk about knocking out
of the park, a patron and an Apple review.
I know. Thank you Ian, we appreciate it.
Do the Lords work? All right, so we know this got
bad reviews, but what did the people actually have to say
about it? Let's start with Lisa Johnson.
This movie was awesome. It delivered everything that a
horror movie should. So what if it's not like the
previous Leprechaun movies? This one should have made its
own and not been part of the Leprechaun series. 5 stars.
This is a paid actor I would say.
A paid review has entered the chat.
That is correct though that this really should just be on its
own. It shouldn't even have been
called leprechaun. No, it should have been called
running in circles after a orc. A burned orc.
It should have been called a gold monster.
I don't dude, I don't even know if this thing really likes gold.
It is somewhat interested in it. OK, it does.
I think gold catches its eye. Maybe.
Yeah, then it just goes off and just does its own thing.
Hey, what if there was like a bag of gold that's just sitting
in the forest for who knows how long that it never touched.
I know I'm like, where did that thing come from?
And we will talk about that next.
We have Kathy Love bought it for my brother and he loves it.
Five stars. OK, so that's just a straight
love dash. Well, so they have the title of
their like review, which was love.
And they bought it for their brother.
You notice there's not much explanation because you can't
really justify loving this. But no, okay.
Next we have Cody disappointed. Worst leprechaun movie ever.
Doesn't make sense at all to call it a Leprechaun Origins.
It's more of a Goblin movie. I actually totally agree with
that. Very disappointed with this
movie. It's a WWE RIP off of the
Leprechaun franchise. One star.
So that's funny because when I saw a WWE production or
something, I'm like, yeah, this is going to be God awful.
Yeah, we're going to actually this next review.
I'll talk about it a little bit. Why it's a WWE production.
Well, yeah, because I saw a horn swaggle and isn't he a little
guy? Little.
Person, sorry. Yeah, he is.
And I think he was featured. I think he I guess played the
leprechaun. Dude what a psych out though
because you would probably think he would be acting like the
leprechaun and maybe he was this monster leprechaun but you
didn't hear a voice. Yeah, there is no like if, OK,
so I I had this later on, but the WWE Films is made because I
was like, what is this production?
It's made to like put their people in movies.
So there's a bunch of them that you've probably seen you don't
realize without John Cena and different people like that.
Yeah, they're all right. You know, I kind of like those
corny movies. Yeah, so this one is supposed to
be, you would think, like putting that horn swaggle,
making it all about him, right? Well, yeah, he's going to be the
new version of the leprechaun cracking jokes.
No. He's a monster.
They put him in a monster. Suit and you barely see him.
Yeah, it's, it's so bad. OK, so let's move on to Jay
Underwood manages to suck all the fun out of the franchise and
doesn't even give us the gratitude.
That's not the right word. Gratuity of a newer, more
interesting leprechaun. WWE's Hornswoggle is said to be
in the film, but you never know it given the creatures complete
lack of screen time. Warwick is sorely missed and
what we were left with here is a bunch of ugly people fighting at
the. I don't know.
I don't know about the ugly people.
I don't know about that part either, but I do like that they
said that. Well, and yes, that is correct,
The monster for a big portion of the movie is not shown.
It's a lot of cutaways and just assuming the monsters out there.
Yeah, and well, I'm going to get to it later.
I have more to say, but we'll save it.
Sure. Let's for now go into our
initial impression. So I'm going to start off with
what I wrote before I watch this movie, because I went in
completely blind. You wrote something before you
even watched it, right? Yes, because I was like, well,
we talked about our initial impressions.
I'm like, what are my actual initial impressions before my
impressions? This is the.
Initial, initial. This is the initial, initial
impression. Psychopath.
So I was hoping for a scary leprechaun.
OK, I was excited about it going to Ireland.
Back to our roots. Yeah.
And maybe some good lore. Those are all yeah, sure, I
agree. I didn't really get any of that
other than Ireland. No.
Is that all you had to? Say that was my initial initial
impression. Like how do we know what to say
to that? Thank you.
So the first thing on my initial impressions.
Now this thing looked like a mix of Voldemort, an orc and a
gorilla. Maybe Warthog?
Those things, because I've been thinking about how to describe
this, those all came to my mind. Every single one.
And the only thing I add to that is like I said earlier, it also
looks like burn victim ish. Yeah, that's kind of Voldemort
dish where like the features are kind of off a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, it's just weird. It's not a leprechaun at all.
OK guys. So yeah, yeah.
By the way, you don't have to watch this.
You can just listen to the review.
This is not a leprechaun like you've seen before, or they a
leprechaun you ever heard of. No, it legit looks like
something out of the Lord of the Rings.
Yeah it does. Very orcish and no the gorilla
ish because the way it walks it almost is putting its weight on
its front hands right? Right, but it does make bore
sounds. Yeah, there.
Yeah, for sure. There's there's no talk talking,
there's no voice like human ish aspect to it.
Which is a crazy thing to do because the Leprechaun has
always been about the leprechaun.
He's the star of the show. Absolutely.
We all know this. Warwick is really funny and just
comes up with like funny little rhymes and just it just has
funny little things he does. Why they decided to just get rid
of the leprechaun and replace it with a monster, we'll never
know. Well, maybe we will know.
I think I might have summoned the trivia.
Yeah, it's just not a leprechaun whatsoever, which is so weird.
And then you go past that. Just the movie, the whole idea
of what's going on. It's bad.
The plot's terrible. Well, can we just talk about the
characters? OK?
Ben has to be one of the worst characters in any Leprechaun
movie. I mean, this guy is like a -10.
Yeah, there's nothing good about him.
He's just kind of a jerk. Yeah, very selfish.
The relationships between each other and the way they even act
around each other doesn't even make sense for friends.
They don't really seem like friends because Ben is supposed
to be with Sophie, but they act like they're not even really
together. They're kind of more of a
brother sister vibe. Yeah, for sure.
There seems to be like not much communication with them as AI.
Guess maybe that's what we're supposed to assume.
They're not really having a good relationship.
OK, there's not having a good relationship and really like
there's no connection. Yeah, well, I think Ben doesn't
like her. Yeah.
And which is like, why is Sophie even with him?
That's a great question. Yeah.
And then we have the other relationship, which is the
typical like all over each other people.
Right. It kind of reminded me of like
TCM a little bit like some of this stuff, like there's parts
of it, Well, to me, OK, I got a couple vibes here.
OK. In 2003, this was the thing
where you had the two people in the back making out and then you
had our couple in the front. We kind of had a contentious
relationship, but they liked each other.
Yeah. And they seemed like a little
bit trashier, the couple in the back, right?
Yeah. So that kind of reminded me of
that. But this movie also had like
that Cabin and woods vibe where there's this like, ancient
ceremony going on and it's like the kids have to choose their
path to get there and it's just has to be done to appease the
gods or the leprechaun. I guess there is that thing
because they have to go. Well, the town has to sacrifice
people. Yeah, right.
I mean, and it's their choice. I guess they wandered out here.
Now you might wonder why they even.
I can't get into that. I was going to say why they
wander out there in the 1st place because they kind of just
throw you in the middle of it. Whatever we can, we're going to
get into the story. The story is really bad.
That's whatever. What about just like?
Was this scary? I don't know.
I think there was a couple parts that were jump scare ish.
What? I call it scary, no?
No, I wouldn't either. There was the ability to get
scared in the movie, but the way they filmed it, it's just, it's
so jump caddy. I, I don't know, I I wasn't into
it. It's like a little bit of Blair
Witch footage, a little too much camera shake when the leprechaun
comes around. Yeah, and I think the whole time
I'm just like, what am I watching?
This isn't. Leprechaun.
Like the way the plot goes, I swear it's like they just run
back and forth and like, go in a circle.
Yeah. So like, I don't know, they're
going to a lot of different places, but not really going
nowhere. Yeah, I think I was too annoyed
to get scared of this movie. There there were some scenes
that I think were really funny unintentionally.
Well, I think we should get into them and start our breakdown.
Let's go. It all begins many years ago.
Catherine and Francisco are running through a forest.
Do you remember who they are? Yeah.
No, I remember this. You know their names?
No. OK.
I was going to say you shouldn't.
OK, well, why even asking? I don't know.
I want you to be like, whoa, you actually looked up their names?
Why do you want me to say that to you?
Because. Nobody in the world would ever
know who they were. No.
The intro kills. So Catherine's running away.
She has a bag of gold. All right, You see where this is
going? She throws the gold down.
There's something chasing them. We all know what it is.
It's the leprechaun. Yeah, and you immediately know
something's off because this thing is making sounds that
sound animalistic. Not so much leprechaun.
It's like there's no laughing. No, it's like bore bore noises
and like roaring kind of. Yeah.
Well, they end up breaking throughout of this forest into a
field and we get some straight Jurassic Park stuff because it's
like the Raptors are coming. 100% they straight stole the
Raptor scene where they have the tall grass and you could see
like the lines of the Raptors coming through.
It was such a RIP off. It wasn't even like a joke.
Like immediately I saw this, I'm like, yeah, this is Jurassic
Park. Yeah, right.
To which I'm like, are we watching a leprechaun or a
dinosaur now? I don't even know.
It could be either, yeah. It would be easy just to replace
the leprechaun with a dinosaur. I think they just took a lot of
ideas and room into this movie. Yeah, well, Francisco gets
eaten. His body gets thrown down in
front of Catherine, basically just to show that he's missing
some fingers. Like he got his fingers knot on.
And of course they did the thing where you see like his body
hanging out of the grass and all of a sudden he gets sucked into
the grass so you can't see him anymore.
Again, Jurassic Park. Yeah, they like to pull people
back a lot. Actually.
It happens quite a few times in this movie.
Because they probably don't know how to execute a kill and
they're like. Hey, let's get him off screen
quick. There is one time though, the
body gets pushed forward. It's not my favorite scene.
We'll, we'll get there. I was watching this with Aaron
and we just start laughing like what just happened?
I know. It's so good.
Well, anyways, Catherines, man's getting well.
You know what? I'm gonna jump.
Catherine gets struck off and killed.
Who cares, right? Yeah, we don't know these
people. This was just.
Shocking intro. Yeah.
And like all that we saw from the leprechaun, it's like a
camera. And when you get the leprechaun
vision, it just gets blurry. Like you just don't see
anything. Well.
Are we going to talk about the real Leprechaun vision?
Because we'll get there. Not yet.
OK, We don't see his actual vision, which is, yes, another
RIP off of another movie we love.
Oh, I. Don't.
Know why I said it like that? But yeah, I know you act as if
we don't love it. No, we don't.
It's from a movie. We absolutely.
Love. Well, you're OK.
It's Predator. You're going over Predator, OK.
Well, yeah, why now? It's weird.
OK, well, we'll just move on. OK, so that this whole thing
takes place, right? Takes place.
Yeah, like we saw these. Two people get killed.
I don't know how long the like the time frame difference
because we're going to jump ahead to meet our main
characters. Right.
I think they're just showing us that there is a savage
leprechaun out in the woods that likes gold.
Yeah. And so this, I guess this could
have just been like a year ago. Who knows?
Yeah, you're right. There's no time like, hey, a
year later. Or if there is, I didn't see it.
See it. OK, well, it didn't happen then.
OK, let's meet our main cast. They're traveling through
Ireland and they're in the back of a flatbed truck.
So they're just like kind of hitchhiking their way to this
town they're going to see. Now we have the classic four Man
Group of a horror movie, right? He like, this is just the
classic thing. You have four people traveling
together. Yes, 22 couples, boy, girl, boy,
girl. Right.
So we have Sophie and Ben. Sophie is a big history buff.
Ben I guess is like pre Med going to Harvard.
I guess he's a doctor. Yeah.
So this trip, I think, is all Sophie's idea.
She wanted to go to Ireland to learn about the history.
Right. Yeah, we get those vibes.
Yeah. Jennifer and David now, I don't
even know what they do, but Jennifer has a lot of gold
piercings that might come into play.
Yeah. David is what you would call a
short king. Yeah.
I call back. Yeah, the last time I roasted
you for it, I'm giving you a real short king.
This guy is tiny. He is.
Really small. I swear I've seen him before in
something else. He's definitely in something.
He's got to be in a different horror movie or something,
because I know I've seen him too.
Do we? Neither of us look this up.
No, let's do it right now. I don't my phone we.
Have nothing to look it up in. OK.
So we found out he's in Freddy versus Jason, that's for sure
where we've seen him. I don't remember him in that.
We looked at images. I'm sure he's in there.
Dude, do you know what's great about my brain?
And I would say our brains. Oh dude is we have no member.
Like we could legit probably go back through like the Friday
13th series and like just not remember it, you know what I
mean? I cannot tell you anything about
the movies. Hardly.
Like, with a child's mind, we could go back in and just be.
It'd be all new again. Yeah.
So maybe we'll do it anyways. So this group of friends are
travelling through Ireland. The driver stops and just drops
them off in the middle of this field.
He lets them know, like, hey, the village you guys are looking
for. It's like 15 minutes that way,
but he like absolutely refuses to drive there.
So yeah, we get the vibe that, you know, something's off.
You know, if I was a traveler, I'd be like, yeah, I'm not going
to go in there either then. Yeah, well, it's like this is a
random field you're dropped off and you just got to like walk
over there. How are you going to get out?
Like just what are you doing? Yeah, they're not from this
area. They're in Ireland.
They're tourists. It seemed like this was supposed
to be a day trip I guess to and I'm not even sure what they're
doing. How about this?
It's a village that has no Rd. Yeah, let's not go there.
That doesn't make sense. Like how do you get in and?
Out like what village has no Rd. Are you sure there wasn't a
road? I feel like that you could drive
through the brush or something. I didn't see it, but I.
Don't know well there was the Raptor trails.
I just follow a trail, but maybe there was like a tire trail.
I guess you could drive through, but the village doesn't seem
like that dilapidated or it looks like a nice village.
Daniel should have a road. This is like an F level
movement. We're talking too much.
Well, some things we do learn about the village, though it's
only 300 years old is. That is that new.
I don't think that's new. I think that's, oh, wait, that
does seem new. Yeah.
Especially for Ireland. That seems like a new city, no?
I have no idea. I I don't know.
Anyways, it also houses some of the oldest Celtic artifacts
known to man. So new city with old stuff.
Don't make much sense, but we'll just move on from that now.
I haven't mentioned it yet, but in this field there is a giant
monument. Are you guys?
It's a rock. It's a stone.
It's a Stonehenge thing. Yeah, it's a rock with some
symbols on. It some Celtic symbols.
And we will eventually get back and tell you what that means,
but for now we have a man standing with a shotgun in the
field. Well, we should say the the
group gets out Now we're walking through the weeds and the Raptor
filled, one might say, and there's an old man standing with
a shotgun. They don't ask like, hey, what's
up? Or hey, hi.
There's no talking. They just like, Oh my gosh,
there's a guy with a shotgun and then he walks away.
Yeah. Do we we learn about him?
Do we get to know him? I don't think we ever see him
again. Who knows?
He's still out there with a shotgun.
Well they eventually make it over to the village and their
first stop is the local Tavern, which I totally respect.
If I was visiting Ireland, that'd be the first place I
would go. It actually seemed cool.
I'm like, I would love to just go there after, especially after
a walk, have a nice beer. One thing I didn't like, as soon
as they go in, the bartender comes over and like gives them a
nice little seat in the corner and David calls her a barmaid.
I know, I thought that was awkward and weird.
Yeah, it's like an older lady. It's super nice Irish person.
I think they're just trying to show us he's kind of a tool.
I guess. But dude, they actually, they do
him really dirty in this movie. Why?
Well, how about I don't tell you why right now.
We'll just get to it. So we learned a little bit about
their back stories. They're all sitting around the
table having some drinks, talking.
Sophie was going to go to Berkeley to get her masters, but
with her boyfriend Ben going to Harvard, she's like, maybe I'll
just go to the East Coast and hang out.
Not sure. I'm going to enroll in Berkeley
for my masters. With Ben going to Harvard and
everything, I thought maybe I'd just.
Check out the East Coast for a while.
Really. OK, this is so stupid.
I don't know why they introduced this stuff so that she says
that, and you're thinking, OK, these two must be really close.
Obviously, maybe they're getting engaged.
Maybe they're going to get engaged.
Yeah. Like, that's why she wants to
move closer. Like they've already talked this
out. No, she just seemed to come up
with this on the spot. And I don't think Ben wants her
to go at all. In fact, he doesn't.
It's pretty obvious he could actually care less about her.
I don't even know why he's here with them.
Doesn't seem to like her. No, he doesn't.
Doesn't talk to her. He's not interested in her
sexually either. That's for sure.
Well, we'll get to that. These both these dudes have a
real hard time closing the deal. I know, I thought you'd have a,
you know, have some issues with. That I do.
You're what we like to call a fiend horn.
Dog is what they called me in high school.
He's been through therapy, he's better.
None of this is true. We listen.
We don't judge. Daniel, you're so strong.
Well, they mean one of the local bar patrons, Hamish, because
Hamish is like overhearing. I'm talking.
He's like, hey, if you guys want to know the real history, I'm
going to show you guys the Coca de la Deity.
When he said it, I'm like, Oh my God, what name are you coming up
with? Well, he probably just made it
up. Yeah, so there's some, there's
some ancient artifact in some stupid cave that he says.
Darren, it's the stones of the gods.
Yeah, that no one knows about, apparently.
I mean, it's such a sketchy story that I would advise no one
go like with some stranger to go follow this made-up treasure.
Well, it's supposedly it's a cave with these stones in them
that are these ancient artifacts, right?
Sure. Well, the Cloqua de la Dietes
are a collection of enormous stone sculptures in the middle
of The Cave in the woods. Oldest artifacts in Ireland,
cradle of the Celtic civilization itself.
Yeah, and the only reason they're even telling this group
of visitors the story is that they found out that that girl
Sophie is into history. And he's like, because of that,
I'll show you. But we normally don't let anyone
see it. Which it is confusing because
there are giant stone sculptures.
So maybe this was true, or maybe this isn't true and there's
another story that'll come along.
But here's the spoiler alert. You're never going to see these
stones. Well, wait, there are no stone
sculptures. Stone rocks.
Which rock is stone? So there's just big rocks.
What's the difference between a sculpture and a big rock?
I think the shape. Yeah, I mean, maybe they shaped
these big rocks like a. Rectangle.
I don't think they're shaped. Like sculptures, I don't.
Know, I mean, I think you have to look like something.
This just looks like a big piece of rock Chunk.
Are you are you okay? I don't want to talk anymore
about the rock. Alright, we can move on.
All right, so the big problem is it's a 7 hour hike even to get
to The Cave to go find these sculptures.
So the group has a decision to make.
Do we go do this side quest or do we stay here?
Ben not be more annoyed with this whole situation.
He's like, this was supposed to only be a day trip.
Like we don't even want to do this, but everybody else is
like, let's do it. Well, yeah, it seems like a cool
story, but again, I mean, come on, your Spidey senses have to
be going off. This is not a good idea.
Well, they all agreed to go anyways, and Hamish's kid Sean
pulls up to take him to the cabin for the night.
I don't know if I mentioned it. They have to spend the night at
the cabin. The next day they're going to
hike. Yeah, because right now it's
daytime, but it's too late to like, just go straight up to The
Cave, so they say. So yeah, they're going to take
them to their sleeping arrangements.
The house. Now when we first meet Sean,
there's some, I would call him yellow flags being thrown.
First of all, he doesn't seem happy about the situation.
He also makes a comment about there being for travelers that
it seems to be too many. Yeah, it's awkward vibes.
It's not friendly, especially you don't know these people.
You don't even know where you're going automatically.
You should be like, hey, this is not a good situation.
I mean, I wouldn't want to stay in there at all.
No, I'd be right back at the bar.
Yeah, absolutely. Every time, yeah.
We could just chill there and then walk through the Raptor
Phil's home. Well, on the ride to the cabin,
Sophie asked Hamish about the stones that they saw.
So remember the Raptor filled stone?
That's the one we were talking about.
She's like, it had these symbols on it.
What do those symbols mean? And Hamish is like, I have no
idea what that means, which is kind of strange because he knows
about stones, but he doesn't know about the big one on the
way to the town. Yeah, I guess.
But what he can tell her is that 15 years ago they found gold in
an old Celtic cave, turned that cave into a gold mine and the
stones were in there too. But the mine collapsed and
things in the town haven't been the same.
So that's the backdrop of what's going on now.
I got a little confused here. OK.
At this point we have three sets of stones we've talked about.
Glad you brought this up because even you explained this I'm like
wait there's stones there as well.
Yeah, so there's the big stone we saw in the Raptor film,
right? There's the Cloaca de la Dietes
in The Cave. Yeah.
And then apparently there's another cave that has stones in
it that turn into a gold mine. OK, but here's the thing.
He could just be making all this up.
That is somewhat true, I think. He just had too many stones in
his story and he got crossed up. What are you doing?
At first I thought you were making a beer joke, but then he
said stones in his story. Then I thought that was like, I
don't know, you were trying to be cute with your wording in it
or something. I just, I just think he's making
things up to these people. But we do know there was gold in
a cave, OK? We don't really know if it was
in The Cave, but there is gold. Well, no, I think that that's
part of the story later, right? They took somebody's gold in a
cave. Right.
I mean, well, that that part of the story seems to be true.
I don't care whatever, they're on the way with these sketchy
people. I go back to the beginning
though. Those kids running with the
gold, OK, what is that? Where was that gold from?
Ohh like where did they get the bag of gold?
It was probably a setup. They gave them a bag of gold to
run around with. I don't know, man, I don't know.
And they were pretty close to getting away.
I don't don't even know where our main character gets the gold
from later. Oh well, I can.
Well, that'll make sense. That's their bag, isn't it?
Yeah, I just figured it out. I just figured it like I don't
know how much. I just told you what it was, OK,
I. Told you I didn't want to review
this stupid thing, so here I am. My body is here in my mind,
somewhere else. All right, let's go back to the
kids in the car on the way to the cabin bin spots are Rolex on
Hamish's wrist. And after Hamish has been
talking about how times are kind of tough in the town ever since
they took this gold or whatever, I don't even know.
Honestly, I don't even know if he really it was because it was
a mine. Like, I don't know if he said it
was a gold mine. I.
Don't even know what you're talking about.
What do you talk? The town had a mine that it
collapsed. He's mentioned that, right?
Okay. And it's been tough on the town
since then. Oh yeah, because I guess no one
can work anymore because the mind shut down.
Sure, we'll go with that. But he has a Rolex on his wrist.
So Ben points it out and he's like, well, times can't be that
tough. Like, you're wearing a Rolex,
right? Right.
And Hamish plays it off. He's like, oh, a guest just gave
it to me. He's just very grateful.
Yeah. Because for their hospitality,
right? Don't piss on hospitality.
We get to the cottage and as soon as they start unloading
stuff out of the truck, all of a sudden there's something out in
the grass and it seems to be moving fast towards them.
Look there. What is that get?
Behind me or sad. Get behind me now.
Immediately Hamish and Sean, they're like on high alert.
Like you can tell if something's made them more nervous than it
should for just being like an animal in the woods.
Yeah, it's off putting. Let's keep in mind we're out in
the middle of nowhere. Now we're to assume we're far
from civilization, like no one's out here.
And yeah, from across from the cabin, it's just like a bunch of
grass, right? Right.
And then the forest behind it. So it is creepy.
That's. The environment we're in, Yeah.
So they just start shooting at it.
It disappeared. They're like, OK, everything's
good. Just a wild boar, Yeah.
But you're right though, the vibe is like, hey, we're out
here with some dangerous stuff that scared these people.
I don't really want to stay out here.
I wouldn't even be worried about staying the night in the cabin.
It's like the next day you guys plan on walking through that
grass for seven hours. Yeah, with some, I don't know,
bloodthirsty bore. Yeah, also it's a 7 hour hike,
so that's a 14 hour day at a minimum.
Well, I think I assumed it was 7 hours total.
I heard they're back. Like there's no way it's a 7
hour there 7 hour back. I don't know, I thought about
the same thing, though it made it seem that way.
All right, so the animals scared off.
They finally go inside the cabin, and the first thing I saw
was the most terrifying fireplace I've ever seen.
Just black as night in there, as dark as it could be with like
soot stains on the outside. Well, the cabin is creepy.
There's just not much homeliness.
Homeliness. Yeah.
Hominess. Hominess.
Yeah, not too many homies in the.
Yeah, no homies. And it's also Bear.
It's just not. It's just creepy.
Cabin barren, not well taken care of Dilapathy a little bit.
Yeah. And you didn't mention though
before they got into the cabin they had to unlock it from the
outside and it was heavily locked outside, like multiple
locks. Oh, OK, I didn't.
That is true. I.
Mean, I think that right there is a big red flag, like, hey, I
don't want to go into a cabin where someone could just come
back and lock me out or lock me in.
Well, were the locks on the outside or the inside?
No, they had outside they added that big lock up top that.
Was weird you don't remember this well, I mean, I obviously
there's going to be a lot of locking of this cabin.
Yeah, well, how did you think they locked him?
Well, here we'll talk about. It everyone goes in the cabin,
they start chilling, crack some more beers when Ben says, uh,
hey Hamish, can I give you some money for those beers?
And Hamish is like, no, no lot, it's all good.
And then David's like, OK, good. Because I didn't even bring my
Rolex too much like Hamish. Obviously this was like a little
shot across the bow. I mean.
It was just a bad joke. Yeah, well, Hamish didn't like
it. He goes funny boy, but there's a
lot of things I could steal from you.
This was a awkward line because I wasn't exactly sure what he
meant. I'm going to be honest, I
thought he meant I thought his girlfriend was going next.
It did give a weird. Vibe because he hung on it for a
bit to make it even more awkward.
But yeah, I didn't totally get what he was getting out.
There, it wasn't a good flag you get out of there.
Yeah, absolutely. Well, he kind of laughs it off
and plays it off as a joke. Either way, Hamish ends up
leaving the cottage with Sean. But before he leaves, he hangs
his little Rolex on the post at the front of the cottage, almost
marking it. Well, I didn't think it was
marking as much as leave it all bait out there.
Well, you idiot, is that not the same thing?
No markings like just you mark anything.
It doesn't mean someone wants to take the mark.
This is bait. It's either way I'm saying that
the leprechaun's drawn to it. OK, we're talking about the
same. Thing Do you mark a hook when
you put it in the water, Daniel, or do you bait it?
They're two different things. You're an idiot.
We're talking on the same thing. Yeah, we're not though.
The cabin's been marked for the leprechaun.
It's been baited either way. A mark would be like if they
drew a gold watch on on the walls.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Darkness falls and everyone in the cabin kind of goes to their
room for the night and it's time to do a little hooking up.
The couples are separate. We don't have one big group,
just to be clear. Not one of those movies.
OK, I just have to say it. I've never met two guys in a
horror movie that are worse at closing the deal all.
Right. One of them just makes no sense
at all. Like, OK, can we just get into
Ben first? Yeah, so Sophie and Ben, that
sounds weird. No, we're not getting into bed.
So Sophie and Ben are in their room having a little talk.
She asked him if he's ever thought about her coming out to
the East Coast. So again, she's bringing it back
up. Obviously they I guess just
never talk about this. Yeah, first of all, we didn't
even need to talk about. We could have just had the
story, like, yeah, she's moving to the East Coast.
Leave it alone because it doesn't matter at all.
Like, this doesn't really matter other than we're just seeing
that Ben's a jerk. But they've already kind of
established that. So it's like we don't need to
keep driving on this point. Yeah, well, she brings it up and
Ben's like, oh, that sounds interesting.
Yeah, he clearly is not into it. And then she's also like in her
underwear and he has no interest in that either.
Oh, yeah, she's totally in her underwear.
And she goes, well, could you you give all of this up and
like, kind of, you know, gestures to her body and Ben's
like, well, I know I would miss you.
It's so weird. It's like, why is he here?
Is the idea that he's going to break up with her soon?
I Who knows? I mean, obviously, yes, they're
going to break up. That's so weird, but yeah, Ben's
a tool. OK, so she's totally in her
underwear. You think, OK, I see where this
is going to go right of? Course it's a horror movie.
It's a bad horror movie. We're going to at least see a
little something. Something.
No, she goes to her bed. They're actually in totally
different beds. He's reading a book Nerd, and
they both go to sleep for the night.
That's it. I know you were disappointed by
that. I was, I was just like, I mean,
just as stupid. Either way, even more
disappointing is what's going on in the other room.
Yeah, the two that were all over each other, they can't finish
the deal because somebody drank too much.
No, we gotta. We gotta do that a little
better. Why?
Who cares? Why are we going into the
details? Yeah, this dude is.
I told you you're a fiend, man. OK, meanwhile, we have Jennifer
mounted on top of David. Alright, she's fully mounted.
They're making out. Absolutely.
Then she takes her shirt off. OK, and you may be thinking how
can this not end with them hooking up?
Oh, how Daniel. Well, Jennifer realizes that
David is actually not awake at all.
He's completely passed out drunk.
Yeah, I just said that. Why do you even care about this?
Because she was like making out with him and everything.
She's on top of him and he's asleep.
I mean, that is funny. You think she would have
realized that pretty early on? Anyways, that's the story of the
two that didn't hook up. Thank you for sharing this
story. So they all got to sleep until
late in the night or early in the morning.
It's up to you. Who knows?
There's a thumping sound at the front door.
OK, it's dark outside. Yeah, I actually thought this
was creepy because they're in the middle of nowhere.
We obviously know there's a evil leprechaun thing outside and now
you're hearing noises and you could tell this isn't normal
noises. Yes.
So Jennifer gets dressed, grabs a flashlight, goes into the
living room, but the thumping keeps coming.
It sounds like it's like the front door.
It's like boom, boom, boom. She walks over the window.
And then she sticks her face as like close as she can to it.
And you're totally ready for a jump scare, you know, of course.
But it doesn't jump out and said something just like runs by.
So we know something's outside. Again, creepy.
Yeah, so she screams, yells for everyone.
Everybody comes out of the room and they're immediately like,
oh, you just saw a wild boar. That's all it was.
But we know it was the leprechaun, right?
Yeah, I mean, we're pretty sure. And well, as the audience, you
know because you see him taking the gold watch.
Yes, he took the bait. Took the mark, now whatever
Jennifer thinks she saw, she just knows one thing she wants
out of there. The problem is they're not
locked inside the house. Yeah, so they go to get out and
like we said earlier, they have those locks on the outside.
Someone has locked them in. We never saw it happen, but who
knows it did happen. Yeah, and apparently the windows
are like super windows or something.
Can't break them out. I don't even know if they tried
but. Well, yeah, they just realized
there's only one door. It's locked.
They can't get through the windows.
Have something over on gates or something I don't know.
Knows they're locked in now. Remember that dark, terrifying
fireplace? Yes.
So, so they're all panicking and you get, you know, you're very
unsettled now. Now they realize something is
very wrong. The girl, Jennifer, decides to
go to the scariest place in the house and puts her back to that
place. Oh, dude, it was like, come on,
man. Don't like sit there.
Come on, Aaron. Even said we were watching that.
She's like, why is she sitting with her back to the fireplace?
I mean, it's so dark and creepy. Yeah, the opening's too large.
You would like always be nervous about it.
You know you're locked in. The only place that has any
exposure to the outside area is behind you.
Why would you have your back to it?
Yeah, either way, a blurry face appears in the darkness, reaches
up, rips out Jennifer's gold earring.
It kind of liked it. OK, The leprechaun took its
first piece of gold. Well, then it jumps out and now
it's growing and we kind of like, see its face.
It's where you're seeing like, OK, this thing doesn't look like
a leprechaun. We got the orc right.
Yeah. And again, it's like an
animalistic thing. And you thought I thought of
these. Maybe this thing will evolve
over time and start speaking. Rapid evolution.
I don't know, I thought maybe it would learn to talk eventually,
but no, it never does. Learn to talk like they would
teach it. Or maybe it can kind of talk, we
just haven't heard it. I don't know, Daniel.
I don't know how these things work.
Well, either way, this is our first look at leprechaun vision,
which is like you said, it's like the Predator, except it's
yellow. Yeah, I guess we're looking at
heat. You know what I thought would
have been awesome, actually? Green.
Well, OK, that's cool too. But now, gold vision.
Ohk, OK, yeah, that would be better.
That would make more sense. Yeah, like, oh, he only sees
like, gold. Do you know would be even better
is if you just put the Predator in this movie.
Get rid of the leprechaun. Just got rid of him.
Yeah. Absolute man.
Well, they end up locking themselves in the bedroom.
The leprechauns now in the living room, and they're like
barricading the door and it kind of sounds like he's gone.
So Ben's at the door and he's got his ear open.
Like up next to it. All of a sudden, boom,
explosion. The other side of the room just
explodes open. I don't know if it was a door or
a wall. Either way, he just bursted
open. And that's the problem with the
movie. You don't see a lot of what's
happening. Like you barely see the
leprechaun. I think you see more of him
towards the but especially now it's pretty big on what even
happened in this scenario. Like I you're right, I think he
just blew through the wall. Yeah, he did.
He like exploded the wall and then it's like cutting between
leprechaun vision and you can't tell what you're seeing in that.
Then it's like feet running 2 frames of a leprechaun.
Then it's like Blair Witch camera filming.
So it's just like straight chaos.
Yeah, it's. Panic.
I can't even get scared because I'm more just like I don't even
know what the situation is. Yeah, either way, they throw a
bed on them and now they're back in the living room.
That's what happened. And he's trapped in the room.
Well, no, because there's a hole in the wall.
They realize this thing got into the cabin through that
fireplace. That must be the way out, which
it is. So they go through it.
There's like a little hatch on the outside and they all climb
through. The only problem is David's a
little slow and gets his leg knot on.
This is kind of like a gruesome effect, like his leg is pretty
jacked up. Yeah, it's like me, a like piece
of flesh hanging off it. Yeah, so, you know, like this
guy can't run or you wouldn't think he could.
He does pretty good, I mean. I don't think you could walk on
this. Well, I thought the bone was out
even. It looked boneish.
It was hard to tell what I was looking at exactly.
OK, well either way he does get out and they close the latch and
then they like lock a bolt on it.
Yeah, so now you'd think the leprechaun stuck inside.
And actually I'm not sure how he got outside.
Well, he. I think he just breaks it open.
OK, yeah, this leprechauns like super strong.
But remember this latch that they used that he just busted
open? You want me to remember that,
correct? Boom, it's store.
So they all take off through the forest and they decide there was
a house that they passed on their way in.
They're going to run to that house.
Smart idea, let's go get to another house, get some safety
there. Shelter.
The problem is, there's one guy who has a hard time running.
Well, it's kind of funny because David and Ben, is it Ben?
Yeah, they're kind of together. So they are like Ben's helping
David, which I'm like, OK. And honestly, I'm like, this
guy's small, just throwing over his shoulder, you know?
Yeah, put them on their back. But yeah, they're they're
working as a team and they're all running together until
they're not. Yeah, next thing you know,
David's behind everyone and nobody cares.
They're all like just gone. The girls bolts.
That's just There's a point where Jennifer and Ben look
back, see David struggling and just leave.
Yeah, they both just left and they're like, all right, well,
he's gone. Well, did wait with Jennifer.
Is that his girlfriend? It is.
Who's our main character? Sophie.
Yeah. OK.
Because then Sophie goes back for him, right?
Right, because David falls down, so Sophie runs back to help him,
throws her Lantern, which explodes.
I don't know, there's like, maybe the leprechaun's afraid of
fire or light or something. Who really knows?
Well that's why I'm like, I think it's a predator thing ish
where it's like thermal vision and then the fire you know,
explodes and that's like messes vision up.
I don't. Know, yeah, we'll go with that.
Assumptions. Who knows?
It's not really explained. You're right.
It almost seemed like maybe he's afraid of fire too.
We don't know. Who cares?
Sophie ends up grabbing David, they go back to the house, we're
all back into the other house and basically starting over what
we just did. Yeah, and the funniest thing,
they don't even acknowledge what happened.
Like David never says. Like hey man, you guys just left
me. Well, in fact, they get into the
house. You think someone would be like,
hey dude, let me look at your leg.
No, everyone, just like, does their own thing.
If I was been I would be like oh bro, David made it back.
Like I thought this guy was dead.
He left him. Good job man.
We all like, made that, like eye contact, like we're leaving that
one behind. We all look for a second like,
is it worth it? Nah, let's go.
Well, this house is a little different because it has
powerful lights, so they turn those on and apparently it kind
of scares off the leprechaun. Again, we don't know.
Yeah, it's almost like the leprechaun doesn't like light.
Is that a thing? I think it's kind of a thing.
We'll just go with that. It doesn't love light.
Sophie ends up looking around the house, finds a basement and
decides, you know what? I'm going to go into this pitch
black basement with no flashlight or anything.
I'm going to just walk into the darkness, OK?
In a normal scenario, I'm not going into a basement with no
light, and especially in this scenario, I don't even know why
you'd even go down there. That just never happened unless
you have some sort of light source.
I don't know. They go down either way and
there's a lot of chains, a lot of hooks, a lot of mementos of
people who've previously stayed in these cabins.
Yeah, So immediately you get the vibe like, OK, this is a setup
and they've been killing people and taking their stuff for
years. Yeah, that's the vibe we got.
And you may be wondering, well, where's David?
They went down this flight of stairs.
Well, he limps his ass all the way down by himself.
Nobody cares at all. Yeah, no one really talks about.
It's like, I do think, oh wait, you have it here.
Ben did bandage his leg up. Finally he gets to the bottom
and Ben does slap a couple like of shirts around it.
The amount of damage that leg took there would be blood
everywhere. He might just be dead.
I mean that his leg is mingled. I mean, it got thrashed pretty
good. Yeah, well, let's move on from
the kid situation to old Hamish and Sean.
So we pan over to this hillside side where they're parked and
they seem to be overlooking this whole scene.
Yeah, now we're going to get like some lore about what lore
or some information about what's going on.
Yeah, so this is obviously some type of ritual going on.
I mean, we can just tell them what the ritual is, right?
Well, I don't really know if I know.
Well OK, here's the basics. They have to sacrifice people to
this leprechaun in order to keep them from killing the people in
the town. OK So what happened?
At some point the town I think found gold in a cave, took the
leprechauns gold, and now they're having to repay the
leprechaun with bodies. People, right?
And it's like, how many people are they going to have to
sacrifice? I just think it's an A never
ending loop. That's the thing.
It's not like, oh, it's October, it's time to sacrifice.
There's no timeline. It's like, oh, we had people
come in. It's I guess now time to
sacrifice them. Well, Sean seems to think 4's a
lot, so does that buy you more time?
It's never explained. Plus it's not explained.
Why does leprechaun care about killing?
Because it this thing's really about killing.
It's not even about the gold. No, that's a side thing.
Yeah, because initially it did take the watch and it took that
girl's earring. But then like, there's no more
gold now it's just killing people.
Yeah, yeah. Why does it care about killing
them? See, if they had gold on, then
that at least makes sense. But they don't show us that.
No, and it's not like it's taking the gold they stole, it's
just taking gold off of them. Well.
Sean asked his dad. Like why don't we just leave the
village instead of like, watching all these strangers
die? That is a valid question.
Well, Hamish makes it clear these aren't strangers.
These are outsiders, and they came here of their own free
will. We're just giving a little push
in the right direction. They're the Harbingers.
The Harbingers? Exactly.
Yeah, What we're seeing is that son, he's kind of good ish.
I mean, he doesn't want to be doing this.
No, Hamish is behind this whole thing.
He was a part of the original apparently.
Gold stealing. Which again, where's the gold?
They don't seem to be rich. I don't know what's going.
On who stole it, there's a town. Never saw it, we just saw a bar.
And there's also the bag of gold that's just sitting in the
woods. From the people we saw initially
die. Yeah, Leprechaun are the
townspeople have not found this. This leprechaun's obsessed with
gold. It found that gold watch on a
building, right? Or in a house?
It you're telling me it didn't see that bag of gold from the
people it killed? That he had literally followed,
Yes. Yeah, it didn't, I guess.
Then why was it chasing them? Why?
It had to have known they were holding the gold, or else why
would it? We care, but I guess we just
said we don't really know if it cares about gold.
It's supposed to, though. It's a leprechaun.
Is it a leprechaun? I don't know.
It's kind of a monster. All right, Well, the issue they
have now on this hill is that this ceremony seems to be going
a little long and it should be over by now.
So Sean and Hamish decide they're going to get in the
truck and they're going to go to the cabin and check on the kids.
Now we cut back to the basement where the kids are actually in
the other house, right? Yes.
Sophie finds the book of lore, immediately starts flipping
through. It's like a leprechaun book
finds a symbol off the rock and it says Tutha de Diana, which
means leprechaun. All right, what the fuck does
that mean, Leprechaun? So now the kids, I think piece
the whole story together. Dude, there's so many stupid
stars. So Hamish, when he told them
that it was a mine, I guess that they went into originally, they
realized it wasn't a mine, it was a cave and the people took
the gold. When you take the leprechauns
gold, you have to pay a man's until the debt is repaid.
Again. We already talked about this.
We I don't know what the human to gold ratio is.
This is also stupid. It's like if you stole
leprechauns gold and you now you know this, leprechauns hunting
you, you're rich. Just leave.
You can go buy a house somewhere else.
You guys are all rich. Well, it's back to what Sean
said. Why are you staying in this
town? Like, why would you even stay
here? It's home.
I don't. Know there's no reason I did
like it though, because after they start talking about this
Jennifer's like wait, this kind of makes sense.
It's a leprechaun. It stole my earring and that was
cold. And nobody says a word.
Nobody. Cares like F off Jennifer.
Yeah, that's just weird. Well, Ben starts thinking like,
OK, this leprechaun stuff's cool and all, but like, how do we get
out of here? And that's when Jennifer notices
the stones. They like, I think at this
point, they have a map. There's like a map with stones
on it. She's like, oh, these stones
looks like it's a boundary. It's an ancient warning sign.
There's a leprechaun around these.
Stones are like a boundary, like an ancient warning sign or
something. Maybe the leprechaun won't go
past a certain distance from its cave.
Well and they did say when they got dropped off that guy said he
wouldn't go past that stone. So now they're just assuming if
you get past the stone, you're safe.
Yes. So that's the story.
Now, if you're inside the stone area, you're the leprechauns
there. You can die.
The leprechaun can't go outside the stone barriers.
Is that true though? We don't know.
Well, because the end makes me feel like it's not true.
How does it make you feel like it's not true?
Well, because at the end it's. We can't go into it right now.
This masterpiece for you after this movie, that for you for
making me do it actually it's kind of fun so all.
Right, let's jump back to Hamish and Sean.
They go back to the cabin and like they have, oh I forgot to
mention they have Ian with them. Oh yeah, they just.
Picked up in the random guy. Don't worry, he won't be there
long. Won't be around for long.
So it's Ian, Sean and Hamish and they have like a mob bucket or a
mop and a bucket. I did think that was kind of
funny because it's like they're this is like their cleanup crew
where they clean this giant mess that the leprechaun makes.
Yeah, it's like the Wolf in Pulp Fiction.
Why are they safe? Why do they think they might be
safe? Because the whole ceremony's
over. Why?
How many leprechaun ceremonies have you run?
Why is it just going after them? Why wouldn't it just go after
everyone? I don't know.
It took the gold. It was a like they gave it the
mark. All right, I don't know.
I don't know what to say to this.
Well, to their disbelief, as soon as they go inside, there's
no dead bodies, and if they're still alive, that means that it
hasn't fed. I guess this is when they
realize, OK, now they're in trouble because this ceremony
has not been completed. Right.
So they jump in the trucks. They're like they must be at the
other house, which they totally are.
Why is there another house right next to the kill house?
Maybe they do double like double ceremonies.
No, the the 2nd house is clearly clearly like a safe house.
It's like that shouldn't even exist.
That's where they store all the items.
Yeah, but it seems like a terrible idea to put it right
next to the house where you're killing the people.
Why? Because they can just get out
from one house and go to the other one and now they're on to
the whole thing. Well, anyways, the kids are in
the basement. They find a bunch of weapons.
They arm themselves. Basement door opens up.
That's that's exactly why now they are.
Now they're armed, going against you.
Doesn't really matter though. Sean and Hamish show up and we
have a a little bit of a standoff now.
Sean starts playing with the idea of like, you know, they
survived the ceremony, shouldn't they just be free?
But Hamish reminds him if they go free, the leprechaun have
attacked the village. We can't have that now.
During the standoff, all of a sudden gunshots ring out and Ian
seems to be in some trouble. We didn't exactly explain, but
they're all still in the basement and now it's like a
hostage situation. We're going to lock the kids in
the basement and they're going to go out and I guess handle the
leprechaun now. Yeah, so Sean goes to the door
at the top of the steps, the basement.
He's going to man the door. Hamish is going outside to like
see what he ends up to. Yeah, and we also have to
explain they made it clear they can't kill these kids because
it's the leprechauns bait. Yeah, you need them alive.
Yeah. So that makes the situation
where it's like, hey kids, you can kind of just do whatever you
want because they're not going to kill you.
Right. Well, Hamish goes outside, finds
Ian shotgun lay in the dirt, a couple flares on the ground.
So he lights up the flares and he starts looking for Ian.
Meanwhile, Sophie decides, you know what, I'm not staying in
the basement breaks out, but as soon as she does, Sean standing
there with a shotgun and Sean has an itchy trigger finger.
Yeah. So you we know Sean is debating
of what he should do, but man, yeah, he is just a little loose
with that. Finger, dude, it is like shaking
on the trigger, like like almost like.
Pressy in and out. Well, he decides to let them go.
The kids go outside, run straight to Hamish's truck.
Problem is, there's no keys in it, so they decide.
You know what? Forget the truck, let's just run
to the stones, which would be great for all of them except for
David, because he's got like a broken leg.
We'll run for the stones. David can figure it out on the
way if he makes it, that's. Great, back with Hamish, he
finds his buddy Ian and unfortunately for Ian, he's been
impelled on a piece of machinery.
Never saw how it happened, but he's just chilling there he's.
Just laying there and he musters one last breath and he goes
behind you. So leprechaun's coming after
Hamish. Hamish jumps out the window,
sacrifices Ian to get eaten. I love that we never, we barely
saw Ian, then when we do see him he's impelled and he's really
the only purpose of the scene was just to see him get killed.
Ian could also have been the guy with a shotgun in the beginning.
The old man, yeah. I don't think this guy was old
though. I don't know how old you're
thinking that guy was. I think it could be him all.
Right. Well, I don't know.
I don't really care. So.
He's dead. Anyways, back with the kids,
they end up finally making it to the road when David finally
gives up. And this is where they kind of
show his leg and this thing's like busted.
So at this point, I had respect for David.
I'm like, nobody's helped him and he's made his way all the
way here. Yeah, that must have been a
crazy hard walk. There's no way you can put
weight on that foot. That's what I'm saying.
Just respect for David for doing it.
So they're at the stone where they started.
No, no, no, we're at a Rd. We're not a stone.
The road, okay. And on this road there happens
to be a lady driving all alone in the middle of the night, and
her name is Mary. And because it's the middle of
the night, you probably should be aware that this is a little
odd of a situation. It is a little odd.
Well, she lets them all jump in the car and.
And spoiler alert, she works with Hamish.
Of course she does. Yeah.
So she just drives up the road, stops the car, gets out.
Next thing you know, Hamish and Shawn are there, pulls them all
out by gunpoint and makes it very clear that he needs them
alive still. They tell them they're basically
going to. I think they're going to just,
like, leave them out here and just, like, let them go.
And Sophie's like, you can't leave us alone.
And Mary's like, well, we're not going to be leaving you alone.
Yeah, we know. They're just going to set them
up for bait again. So the kids are like, we're in a
bad spot, let's fight. So they attack them immediately,
all get knocked out. Yeah, they're not really good
fighters. Next thing you know they're all
tied to trees with gold necklaces on.
I thought this was really funny. That's how they said about they
got them tied to the tree with gold necklaces, gold chains, all
blinged out. Yes, so they're not in a good
spot and it gets worse because the leprechaun starts moving
towards them through the woods. Yeah, and it was kind of creepy
because we all know that the leprechaun's going to come and
there's got to be someone dying by now.
So the leprechaun shows up, There's nothing they can do,
they're all tied to trees. We get to see his face more.
Again, just orcish Voldemort here.
Hey, I would have rather just not even show this ugly thing.
I mean, seriously, right? It's.
Just such a generic looking creature.
It's not scary. It's just like, what are we
doing? Well, he first stops at
Jennifer, reaches into her mouth, grabs her tongue and rips
out her tongue ring. She had a tongue ring.
Yeah, that's what he pulled out. That's so funny because I was
watching this and I couldn't see the tongue ring at all.
I was just like why did he just pull her tongue?
Are you sure there's a ring? It did she had she had a pierced
tongue. I mean not AI don't know if it's
a ring or a stud. I don't.
I'm not big on the piercings of tongues.
OK, wait. So wait, she put that in, right?
They didn't plant that on. Yes, that's hers.
OK, well she didn't think about that.
Like, hey, this guy's ripping gold out of my ear.
Like hey, maybe I should get rid of this tongue ring.
No, she didn't. All right.
Then the leprechaun moves over to David.
Now he sees that nice shiny gold necklace on David, right?
Yeah, I said go over there and RIP that thing.
Off. Yep, takes 1 swipe now.
Good news. He slices through David's rope.
Ah. Which frees David.
Very fortunate. Bad news, he slices into David's
stomach. That was a gnarly gash too.
Like he, It looked pretty bad, right?
Like it looked like that should have been a kill shot.
Oh, it was pretty rough. Pretty rough.
Like some deep scarring. Well, I mean, it's like
intestines almost. No, it looked like that was deep
enough where he's gonna bleed out or something, but David took
like a champ. Honestly, he didn't seem to
bother him that much. Dude, I'm telling you, David's a
little bit of a soldier is Are you telling me that?
That's the first time I've heard you say that?
Well, I'm trying. I was trying to, like, play up
how he's running on that broken leg.
You were all right. So David runs off like he gets
free leprechauns, kind of moved on to someone else.
And at this point, I'm like, okay, David, you're okay to
leave. These people have left you
enough. Absolutely, you've done enough.
Work, you can go right? But he doesn't.
He finds a machete and the funniest part actually is when
he was running off. Ben's like don't leave us, don't
leave us. I love.
To do that little. Twerp.
Yeah, well, he comes right back, cuts Jennifer free, gives her
the knife, she starts cutting everybody else free.
Then David gets attacked by the leprechaun.
I know this is my favorite part because we don't even see it,
but what you do see the night vision, and I think David's
trying to Juke the leprechaun and you see a shadow that goes
left, right. It's like he's trying to do,
like a move on him, right. Yeah.
Hit him with a like, stiff arm or something.
Yeah. Like he's like steps, takes a
hard to the left and goes right. It just didn't work I guess.
No. Well, he's getting attacked by
the leprechaun. Jennifer comes over to hit the
leprechaun, but he like roars and she kind of falls back.
That's when the old hero Ben comes over and he's like, hey,
he's not going to make it, this asshole dude.
Yeah, Ben, he screwed David over so many times.
I mean, they really make you hate this character.
Oh, absolutely. But they all listen to Ben and
they leave David and that's the end of him.
David's dead. Yeah, David saved everyone and
they just let him die. Yeah, well, at this point Sophie
decides, you know what, we got to go back to the cabin.
Man, I just think it's a bad decision.
Well, I don't even know where they are though, because it's
kind of like you said, we do go in a circle, but it's like I
don't know where they are in relation to anything at this
point. I don't know.
So we went from 1 cabin to the second cabin.
Then we ran out to a road, ended up with Hamish and them
somewhere got tied to a tree and now we're going to go back to
the cabin. Yeah, I think my idea would be
like, yeah, let's get out of here, let's run to the stone.
Yeah, we got the guy that can't run isn't with us anymore.
Yeah, we're free. The guy, he's getting eaten by a
leprechaun and let's just let that happen.
We're not going to. We're not going to talk about
it. No, but Sophie doesn't want to
get away anymore. Now she wants to kill the
leprechaun. I thought this was brave, but
I'm like, hey, you could have made that decision while your
boy was getting eaten, you know, like maybe let's kill him before
our friend that. Means you guys had a knife.
You had like the advantage. He was distracted.
Yeah, that would have been a great time because that knife
can do the job we need. To get rid of our character.
All right, so they go back to the cabin.
This is the original cabin and you guys are not going to
believe the plan they come up with.
Oh. Well, that's not the only thing
you're not going to believe, because this is when actually,
you know what? This is the best part of the
movie. It really was the best part of
the movie. Here's the plan.
One person's going to stay outside, the other two are going
to be in the cabin. And what they're going to do is
lure the leprechaun into the cabin through that fireplace,
through that latch door, right, Right.
Lock it inside with them and kill it.
This is such a terrible idea. The more I think about it, it is
just God awful one. Why would you have someone
outside? That seems sketchy as ever.
That's that's strange. Also, we've already locked this
hatch and it blew the Hatch open.
Yeah, it doesn't. It's not going to hold it.
You're right. It's already been trapped inside
and got out. Right.
So how do they expect to do this again?
Not to mention, I think the bigger problem, why on earth
would you ever lock it inside with you?
Why? Yeah, it's.
Going to come in there either way.
The plan is just so stupid and the execution is even better.
It's just the best SO. They decide.
You know what, Jennifer? She's very, like, flustered.
Her boyfriend just died. Kind of a lot going on.
She got her tongue ring ripped out, earring ripped out.
You can stay outside. Oh yeah.
We'll bless you with that. Now when I say outside, she's
going to be hiding under the stairs as the leprechaun comes
in. She's going to trap it inside
with them. Apparently the leprechaun can't
see under the stairs. No, now Ben and Sophie, they're
going to hang some gold over the mantle, over the fireplace, and
they have an axe and a machete and they're going to wait for
the leprechaun. So I guess the idea is the
leprechaun is going to sneak through the fireplace, see the
gold go up and get it, and they're going to axe its head
off. Right.
That's the plan. Sure.
So we go with Jennifer. She's outside under the stairs.
The leprechaun kind of creeps up, goes it sounds like it opens
up the Hatch. And we have to say Ben and
Sophie are standing, you know, in front of the fireplace with
both have axes, one on each side.
Nope, one has a machete. Close enough, yeah.
But Sophie for sure has the axe and she's got that thing raised
over her head just waiting. Well, Jennifer jumps out under
the stairs, goes to shut the Hatch.
Only problem is the leprechaun seems to be hiding behind it.
I don't know what happened here. This whole thing got freaking
effed up. I don't know what is going on.
It seemed like the leprechaun maybe tricked her, like knew the
scenario that was going to happen.
It seemed as if like she went up and then saw the Hatch open and
like it was like the leprechaun wasn't there.
Then all of a sudden the leprechaun was there.
OK. And.
Then all of a sudden we're on the other perspective of inside
the house. Yes, so again, back with Ben and
Sophie. They see the Hatch open like
they've heard the noise. They know the leprechauns coming
in. So again, Sophie's ready.
That axe is raised overhead, ready to strike.
Just then, the leprechaun comes flying into the fireplace,
laying on his back, only to catch an axe right to the head.
Dressed up like a girl, this guy.
To see where we're going. The only problem?
Here, Yeah, it doesn't look like the leprechaun.
It actually has long hair. OK, the only problem is that
actually was Jennifer the whole time.
Jennifer somehow slid her body back.
I guess the leprechaun just like pushed her in.
So the the way I see it, the leprechaun grabbed her, knocked
her down, knows the plan, pushed her body inside only to get an
axe to the head. The the the issue is Jennifer
didn't say a word. Her body slides out and he's the
axe right in the forehead. She's dead.
Yeah. Why did they do this in the
movie? It was great, though.
I loved it. I thought this was so funny.
That was the best scene in the movie.
I don't think it was supposed to be funny, I think it was
supposed to be like Oh no they killed their friend which is so
effed up to put in the movie which makes it even funnier.
Well, I love the aftermath because Sophie is like,
distraught. She has like a total meltdown.
She's like, Oh my gosh, you know, we killed Sophie.
She killed Sophie. Let's be honest here.
I mean, that's that's crazy. You're going to catch a charge.
Like there's no reason she has swung on her.
No, no. Well, they run outside and
again, she just had this huge meltdown.
And then she sees a truck and she's like, there's a truck,
like, immediately pops out of it.
Oh yeah. She's over.
I mean, it's survival mode now. These people aren't really
friends. No, they're not.
So again, this is where I'm saying the story's going in a
circle. Like we've gone to the house.
I feel like we keep doing the same things over and over again
and we're going to go back to a truck that we already know
doesn't have keys. Oh, you're right, yeah.
We just go in circles. I'm not going to explain to you
why this is stupid. We all know what we're watching
here. You made me watch.
It and well, Speaking of things that happen over and over again
as they're running to the truck, Sophie falls down.
Do you think Ben is going to stop?
Ben, just trying to figure out how to get.
Out of here, dude. He's on some straight Usain Bolt
stuff. Here he is gone.
Yeah. I mean, it's pretty was pretty
good. He's just like, yeah.
Well, Sophie jumps up. They both make it to the truck
again. It doesn't have keys in it.
So we got another problem here, but even worse than the no keys,
the leprechaun is already at the truck.
He starts like destroying it, hitting it, kind of disappears.
I don't know. Yeah, he's powerful, but yeah,
he's doing the little peekaboo thing where he hits on the
window, then he's down below, he's above, he's all over.
Well, at one point he does disappear because you got to
give them a little time to talk about some issues.
Well, yeah, something big issue just happened.
Right. So you may think Sophie's going
to talk about how she just murdered her friend, right?
No, I want it because you don't want to talk about that anymore.
No, she moves on because she's wondering why Ben didn't come
back for her when she fell down. Yeah, that's kind of just
something you talk about later, to be honest.
It's like, hey, this guy's horrible, you know you're not
going to fix it now. The thing with this
relationship, it's never even like obviously there's every
sign in the book like Ben does not care about her at all.
OK, I would say this. I actually want to know these
two were together whatsoever. If they didn't say it at some
point, I'm assuming they had to have said it.
Well, yeah, we know they're together.
If you, dude, honestly, you could tell me they weren't and
I'd be like oh wow. Yeah, it would make more sense
that they're not, like you said, maybe like a brother, sister,
but even brother and sister, these two don't seem to like
each other that much. Yeah, Ben.
Well, she seems to like him, Ish.
He doesn't seem to care at all. This is more a problem with her,
like why does she like him? And why can't she see all the
signs? I know.
Well, Ben's like, I had to get back to the truck.
Things never resolved like these.
Like the big issue of him not liking her is never discussed.
Well, Sophie spots Ian's body in the shop, realizes.
Whoa. The Body Shop.
In The Body Shop realizes that dude must have the keys on him.
We got to get the keys. The problem is the leprechaun
again is back at the truck. He's taking it apart and
destroying it. And at this point I got the vibe
that both of them wanted the other one to die for them.
This was really funny. You're right.
I I don't know what they were trying to tell us in the movie,
but it was funny because it seemed like Ben wanted Sophie to
get the keys. Right.
You know, first Ben actually wanted to get the keys and leave
her with the leprechaun, but then she's like, no, you go
distract, which to me is like sacrifice, Go distract the
leprechaun, I'll go get the keys and that's the route they go.
Oh. Yeah, because honestly, no one's
been able to distract and get away with it.
Well don't worry, he doesn't do a great job of distracting.
All right. Honestly, I don't remember even
what happened. Well, they sit in the truck for
like another 30 seconds just letting the leprechaun destroy
the windshield. And then they finally are like,
OK, it's time to go. So they split off different
directions. Ben lights a flare.
I mean, he runs like 10 feet from the truck.
He's like, right there. Sophie goes that.
He ends up getting distracted by the dead body.
Like, oh, it's so gross. I know.
I was like, bro, you're it's like life or death.
Who cares about the dead body? Just get in there and get the
keys. You saw he was dead from the
truck. Nothing's changed.
Yeah, right. Just your perspective has
changed. So she finally gets the keys,
returns to the truck Ben's in like a slow MO standoff with the
leprechaun. The problem is, when Sophie
arrives, the leprechaun hasn't moved at all.
He's still standing right at the truck.
He's not with Ben. Ben is like 10 feet from it just
standing there with a flare. Well, I think Ben has done
exactly what he wanted. To do so, they realized this
plans totally scuffed. Let's just run back to another
house and they go to the farmhouse.
I don't know is this the same 2nd house?
I don't remember where they are now.
Well, they go to the farmhouse. I don't know, they called it
that. They're in a house.
I think this is the second house.
There can't be that many houses. They run in, slam the door shut.
Not in time, though, because the leprechaun just runs right in.
They go to the back door and I loved it because there's all
these locks and they're just like trying to turn locks but
can't unlock anything. Like I can't figure it out, you
know? Yeah, well, you know, it is
adrenaline's rushing high, you know, whatever.
Well, it's time for one of them to go, and that would be Ben,
because he gets grabbed, yanked through the doorway.
There's again. The leprechaun loves to pull
people through and not really show himself.
They must not have had money to really show this thing.
That's why I said earlier, yeah, it's just whatever, let's get
him out of the screen. Yeah, so Ben's, like clinging to
the door jam, you know, holding on.
And he's like, go get to the attic in my my thoughts are
like, why are we going to the attic?
Well I've never even seen them go to the attic.
I'm assuming they're in the same house like you said they have to
be. Does he know there is an attic?
I don't think he would know. I mean, maybe you assume
obviously it's a house that has an attic, but why would you go
up there? I was more surprised, like dude,
actually this is Ben's first selfless act.
Yeah, he actually tried. I don't even actually.
Maybe he wanted to run in the house and then hoped the
leprechaun would take off after her.
Yeah, you know, you never know with Ben.
Well, one thing Ben does do right is give us our best kill
of the movie. I was shocked and I loved it.
I love this. So he gets drugged through the
house on his belly, and then the leprechaun power blasts his
back, rips his freaking spine out, looking like a Mortal
Kombat kill. No, this was definitely.
Predator Ish. Oh, you're right.
The Predator is a spine Ripper. Yeah.
It holds up this giant spine. I'm like, Oh my God, hey, thank
you. That was cool.
I was into it. Yeah, I thought that was a great
kill it. Didn't look real at all, but it
was fun it looked. Gigantic.
It was huge spine, right? It was like a.
Spine of a Buffalo to Buffalo have spine.
I mean, they have backs, I guess there's a spine.
Anyway, so Ben's dead. Sophie runs up the stairs, tries
to find like, open the window, can't get that open.
Finds this attic door, runs into that.
So now she's up in the attic. Thank you.
We could have just said she's in the attic now.
That's true. She took 10 steps, walked
straight up with this group of steps, also known as stairs.
She contemplated. Do I go left to the attic door
or do I go to the window? She went window.
Anyways, it doesn't matter because the leprechaun finds her
immediately, but then Sean arrives.
Remember Sean with Hamish? That guy?
Yeah, they're still here. They're still around.
He arrives, just starts blasting.
Kind of scares the leprechaun off.
Pretty sure he doesn't shoot it at all.
In fact, this was not really well done because I think he's
blasted everything and then run out of ammo.
Yeah, you're right, scatter shots.
Sophie escapes though, goes down the stairs only to run into
Hamish who holds her at gunpoint.
Sean comes back down the stairs, looks at Sophie and goes I'm so
sorry. And then he says run, run.
Yeah, so the whole thing they've said this whole time is this
guy's making his turn now, he's going to be good and let her
escape. Yeah, so she takes off running.
Sean flips the gun on his dad, old Hamish, and again, we have a
lot of pin up issues. He doesn't.
Sean doesn't even want to be a part of this ritual.
Hamish is the bad guy, right? Yeah, this is kind of a crazy
move to pull and at this moment I would say.
Yeah, so Hamish tries to grab the gun, only get thrown down
the steps into the basement. He's kind of just laying there
like. Well, he's very badly injured.
I don't think he can walk now. No, we didn't say like he's an
older heavyset man. He's not like, in great shape.
Yeah, he just fell down some stairs.
Yeah, I'm just saying the whole put that all together, he's not
walking out so. It's going to get worse for
Hamish because now the leprechaun comes down the
stairs. We have a little face off with
Sean where it seems like there's almost some like contemplating
going on I. Was almost thinking like does
the leprechaun know them? Because it almost seemed to me
like Sean was like, hey, he's down there, buddy.
Like, go get him. Yeah, we know he's the bad guy
that took the gold. Go that way.
Yeah, I go get my pops downstairs and he totally does.
So he goes down to the basement and he eats Hamish his face.
OK, something weird happened here though.
Did you hear when Sean said Window?
Like his dad was yelling at him
and he's like Window? And then the leprechaun came and
killed him and I'm like, what was that?
I didn't hear window. OK, well, I'll play it for you.
I don't know what that was. Don't remember it.
Still don't know? Yeah, maybe you guys can watch
this and tell me. Well, Sean now is kind of
distraught. I mean, he sent the leprechaun
to kill his dad. I say he kind of sent him.
He didn't seem to want to fight the leprechaun either way.
He leans against the stairs, like, or kind of like against a
wall, falls down, starts crying. And that's the last that we see
of Sean. Oh, he never comes back.
Nope. Let's go back to Sophie.
So she makes it out, gets to the truck.
We have a little bit of a giant keychain problem where there's
like 100 keys on this thing. Daniel, we can just say she
leaves. She finds it on her second, her
second pick. You could leave.
Some of this out. Man, out of all the keys though,
she got on the second pick. That was pretty good.
OK, so she leaves in the truck. Now she drives down the road.
Only problem now. The leprechaun breaks through
the back of the truck. Well, the window of the truck
grabs her hair. Sophie elbows him in the face,
and then she buckles up. We see where this is going,
right? Oh, the old classic move.
The old RAM job. So she she goes to like, I don't
know, dude, I couldn't even tell what she hit.
Like a stump hit something on the side of the road, sends a
leprechaun flying problem. Now she's got a concussion and
everything gets a little bit blurry.
Yeah. She's going to have to get on
foot and walk this one out. Well, I would say run trucks not
going to start. It's broken down.
She takes off running, the sun starting to rise, and that's
when Sophie trips over a bag of gold.
And now we're back. Hey, a full circle.
Actually, this whole movie is a circle.
It is, yeah. And it's at this point the
leprechaun arrives. So sitting next to Sophie is a
machete that's buried in the dirt, right?
Oh yeah, I guess OK. The people had a machete.
I guess they did OK. Now she finds herself with a
handful of gold coins. I guess she looked in the bag,
found gold coins. Yeah.
Is she against the tree right now?
Yeah, she's sitting against the tree, Right?
Exhausted the giant monster in front of her.
So how is she gonna handle this situation?
Yeah, you would. Think you have a bag of gold
coin? Just start throwing that stuff.
This thing loves gold, I guess. Well, she's got a good plan.
She looks the leprechaun straight in the face.
Hold on guys, this is going to be the stupidest part of the
movie. I'm going to tell you right now.
How dare you? I mean it.
Would you like this? I respect this.
This is the stupidest thing in the world.
It's kind of fun, though. Kind of fun.
Well, she looks at the leprechaun right in his eyes and
says, F you Lucky Charms, throws gold coins in there, distracts
the leprechaun, reaches over, picks up the machete.
One swing, heads chopped off. Leprechaun's dead.
You. Lucky Charms.
She was sitting on the ground. I just thought that was the
stupidest thing and just say if you Lucky Charms.
I love the callback, but I'm like, this isn't even a freaking
leprechaun. We can't use that here.
I mean, it was bad. It was bad.
It was funny in that it was so stupid it did make me laugh.
I'm like Oh my God I can't believe they did this.
This is nothing like the Leprechaun movies.
Like there shouldn't even be a reference to it.
I don't even like this in the Leprechaun Canon, if it even is.
I mean, I don't know, you know, people have been shooting at
this thing. It seems very vulnerable to
being killed. Yeah, what's your point?
Like, I don't know, I feel like the townspeople could just kill
this thing. Oh, yeah.
Like why are we doing all this? She just chopped its head off,
sitting down. Yeah.
That seemed like an easy thing to do then.
Right. Maybe don't sacrifice random
people for years. Yeah, we could have just fought
it and just yeah, take it out easy.
You have guns, right? If a machete killed it, a
gunshot should kill it. I agree.
I just got to say, for as bad as this movie, yes, this scene did
make me laugh. There was a couple good scenes
and this was one of them. It was pretty much this and that
girl getting the axe to the head where I'm like, Oh my God, axe
to the head was the best scene in the movie.
It was funny, Yeah. Sophie runs through the field
right where this movie started, back to the stone, tags it like
she's playing Capture the Flag. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that was a great game. I love Capture the Flag.
Playing that in elementary school all the time.
In elementary school, like at McArdle?
No. OK, Well, I don't.
I remember playing at her cousin's house up in the hills.
Well. That was like a one time thing.
That was fun too. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, great times. Anyways, that's our capture the
flag story. So Sophie runs off.
That's in the movie. She's safe.
Well, OK, she's, I don't know that she is safe because that's
what this is what I was saying earlier.
She. Tags the stone.
The leprechaun's head is not on its body.
OK, I think you missed a big part of the movie because she
tags this tone and runs away but then you hear noises and it
seems like there's other leprechauns coming now.
You didn't hear the noises? I mean, I heard noises.
I don't want to believe that though.
That's exactly because it's I almost expected the lines, like
the Raptor lines coming through the grass, but we didn't see it.
Because that would have been a better finish.
Yeah, but that's what I thought happened.
Is that like, oh, shoot, there's other leprechauns?
That would have been a much better finish to the movie.
You thought she just got away? Yeah, she did.
I don't think she did. Well, what were the noises?
Who cares? She's passed the stone well.
But who cares? I mean, is the stone really a
safe sanctuary or whatever? In my mind it is.
That's the lore. OK, but you don't know that it?
Is I have more questions? Did Sean survive?
Where? What happened to Mary?
The old lady, yeah, who cares? She's around.
I can't answer any questions. Because what are you talking
about, you idiot? She lived.
It's in the movie. She ran away.
It seems like now there's a whole tribe of leprechauns
coming after. People, did you see another
leprechaun? I heard them.
So did you see a leprechaun? No, I didn't see anything.
Let's move to our final rating. What did you give leprechaun
origins? We can.
You can keep this short and sweet.
Yeah, no, this is going to be really short.
I'm going to give this thing at 1.1 just like I'm giving it a
1.1 that's I mean this thing is God awful.
Should you watch it? No, just listen to this review.
It was fun. I'm going to give it a 3.6.
I did kind of like some parts of it.
I don't know, it was really stupid bad movie.
As far as leprechaun movies go. In the leprechaun like world,
it's the worst of all of them. Watch this immediately.
Did not like it, didn't want to do the review.
I only did it because we have to finish these Leprechaun movies,
which I get it and I'm glad I did for that.
So we can tell you about this, You don't have to watch it.
Would you recommend anyone ever watch it?
Yeah, I would. Are you kidding me?
I like bad horror movies. This is one of them.
Oh, this was not like bad though.
This is like no. No, no, this was bad.
It just wasn't good at all. Yeah, that's what I meant.
It wasn't so good. It's bad.
It's just it's worth it to see a couple of the scenes.
Yeah, OK for Yeah, I'll show you clips of the scenes.
You can check out the shorts. I'll give it to you.
And you saw him here in the podcast.
You're welcome. Well, the good news is our next
movie is better. Well, hold on, I'm not ready to
go off of this yet because I think that even though I'm not,
I'm not done with my review yet. Oh, OK.
I just it really pisses me off that they just totally just got
rid of the leprechaun. They just used the IP as what
they did. Hold on, we're going to let me
get to the first piece of trivia because it'll explain a little
of this, OK? Well, I'm just going to say this
movie is bad. There we go.
The director of the movie, Zach Lapovsky, and he absolutely
despised the original movies. Yeah, well, the FU shouldn't
have directed this movie. He wanted to make a scarier
leprechaun that was more grounded in reality.
What a dipshit like that is the stupid.
I'm sorry, the real leprechauns. F you.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, that's crowded reality, which this is not even close.
What is this? What is this creature?
What reality are you talking about?
Like this isn't even like the lore of a leprechaun.
That's yeah, no, that's a great point.
So if you're going to go off the lore of the the leprechauns, we
know in reality they're chilling by rainbows, right?
Right. Whatever, I don't know what else
to say about that. Ironically, this is the movie
that fans consider to be the worst entry of the series for
being too serious with no charm or humor.
So let's sum this up. This dip shit director decided
to take a franchise that was known for like, dark humor.
This funny leprechaun, right? It has a cult.
Following because the leprechaun.
That character is good. Right, He said.
No, I don't like any of that. I don't even like this
franchise, and I'm going to make this movie and just make you
guys all hate it. Yeah.
I'm just going to make a monster that's not like a.
Leopard, I'm going to, I'm going to call it a leprechaun and I'm
going to put gold in the movie, but none of it'll make sense.
Yeah. It was awful.
He did awful. I hope he didn't direct anything
else. Yeah, also F this guy for
putting horn swagger. That's the name, right?
Hornswoggle. Yeah, I think so.
Putting him in the movie and not making him like a star of the
movie as the leprechaun. I feel like I don't even know
who he is but but I feel like if he's AWWF wrestler he probably
has the personality to do a good leprechaun.
Is it WWF or WWEI? Don't know, they've gone back
and forth. F was R days back.
I think it's E here in this time.
I think it's E now. I don't watch anymore.
Yeah, it's stupid. It's like, yeah.
Well, honestly, it felt like a cash grab.
They used leprechaun name and they used this wrestler's name
and they didn't give us either of.
Them. Yeah, but I would have loved to
see him actually play the leprechaun.
Who knows? He could have killed it.
Yeah, I don't know. He would have been better than
this. I get the idea of trying to make
it more scary because that is in interesting to me because here's
the problem. And I love the leprechaun series
ish. I've got very fatigued so I
don't want to say anything else that might regret it.
I do think we went too funny and it we got totally away from the
leprechaun being scary at all. I like the idea of going back to
the scary leprechaun. No, okay.
I mean, my favorite Leprechaun movies, I think the first ones
up there. Then it's Vegas.
I like the hoods one, the first hood one.
For what it was, it was terrible, but I did like that
and to be honest, guys, this last Leprechaun movie is up
there. What?
This? No, no, no, not this one.
The last one, the next one. Oh OK, well the next movie I
think is the highest rated leprechaun movie.
That may be my favorite of the Leprechaun movies.
Over all of them. It's, I'm telling you, it's up
there. Oh, I can't wait.
Because, dude, I have fatigue. I mean, this leprechaun series,
it's made me question what we're doing.
I'm like, why are we doing serious?
Because I'm like, burning out on this thing.
Because the problem is I have to do the shorts.
So I live in the leprechaun. Yeah.
You just like visit. I'm a visitor of the con.
Freaking loser. All right, so let's move to some
survival rules. And then I have more trivia.
It was. I threw that other trivia I was
supposed to put in earlier. Whatever, it doesn't matter.
Just a quick tea. Yeah, I wanted to let you know
about that director. All right, what did we learn
about this leprechaun? How do we survive it?
First of all, don't spend the night at some strange dude you
meet in a Taverns place. Yeah, for sure.
Don't wear gold, he'll RIP it off I guess.
Yeah. Or someone might steal it either
way. And if you have, like, gold
piercings in other places, I don't know, people do weird
stuff. Be careful.
Yeah, if you watch Prince Albert, that's what it's called,
right? So gross.
Yeah. RIP that thing out.
Hey, once you find out there's a monster that loves gold and is
ripping it off of people, just give it all your gold.
Be careful when swinging axes, you may end up chopping your
friend's head off. Yeah, for sure.
Look before you swing. Yeah, just take a second.
Yeah, like if something slides in and it looks like your
friend, don't swing that, Yeah. Some white chick, yeah, some
white chicks head don't swing. Not like a monsters.
Head. That's pretty much all.
I don't really care what we learned in this movie.
I learned the director sucks. I learned my brother's an idiot.
I wanted to do a double feature. I wanted to do just a quick
review on this and then go to the next one.
Yeah, nobody. Come on, guys.
You, you guys wouldn't want that.
I actually gotta go through a bad movie.
No, I'm actually glad we did 'cause this movie was way more
fun to review than it was to watch.
Story needed to be told. No, I agree.
I you were right. You were right.
All right. More trivia.
The character of the leprechaun in Origins is inspired by
subterranean mole rats. Let me say that again.
Subterranean Mole Rats, Not by Darby O'gill's little people
like previous films. I mean, come on, the monster of
the leprechaun is inspired by rats.
Like maybe that's a problem already, right?
It doesn't. It's not this director, man.
It's just insane to turn a human like creature into a a mole rat.
OK, so the WWE studio announced they were going to do the whole
series and it was going to feature the superstar
Hornswoggle. Many fans assumed he'd be
picking up the mantle and buckled shoes vacated by Warwick
Davis. Dude, you know how disappointed
you would have been as one of like the fans of Hornswoggle?
Oh, I would have been so pissed off.
Even as a fan of the movie series I I don't remember this
coming out at all to be honest. But if I was aware, like if it
came out now, I would have been so pissed off of like dude,
instead of taking him and making him the new star, you just
totally like effed the series over.
Yeah, it was bad. Yeah, last piece of trivia, the
F you Lucky Charms that was said by Alex and the original
Leprechaun. No kidding guys.
That's that's end of origins. Man, hey, we made it through.
I thought that was pretty fun. Thank you.
Yeah, thank you. So before we leave, we got to
give a shout out to our tribe members.
