Episode 124 - LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE!!!

Definitely First Blood

Our heads are filled with visions of the Emerald Isles today as we head into the future where literally nothing has changed except we’re in space. It’s LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE! Leprechaun 3 director Brian Trenchard-Smith returns for this next instalment of the franchise that is, once again, carried on the back of Warwick Davis! This time around we have Jessica Collins, Brent Jasmer, Miguel A Nunez Jr. and Debbe Dunning as a cadre of scientists and space marines(?) wandering around in paper mâché and foam sets, there’s even a body glitter loving alien Princess named Zarina played by Rebecca Carlton. This one seems to lack a certain charm of the first 3… there was just something missing. It’s still entertaining and makes for an okay Sunday afternoon flick but there’s a lot of misogyny and gay jokes that didn’t age particularly well. Still a delight to watch Warwick Davis though! Always use a prophylactic!
