During a successful night in Las Vegas, Nevada a strange man with one eye and one leg enters a pawnshop with a statue of a hideous looking Leprechaun as he tells the owner that it's a good luck charm and around it's neck is a medallion.
The owner takes off the medallion and the statue comes to life as well as a pot of gold as he will kill anyone who touches it which the owner carelessly does. However, one coin is missing from his pot as a young man named Scott McCoy (John Gatins) drives along to Las Vegas as he was on his way to L.A. to go to school but runs into the girl of his dreams named Tammy Larsen (Lee Armstrong) who is employed at one one of the gambling casino's there called the Shamrock Casino.
He decides to stick around and gambles away his money and when he is about to go to the pawn shop to pawn his rolex watch to continue his gambling he spots the lost coin of the Leprechaun's as he makes a wish that he was gambling there and making a success which his wish comes true but has a greedy owner named Mitch (Michael Callan) who hates to lose his money to people as he owes a mobster money.
Some greedy employees steals the coin to make wishes while the Leprechaun enters the casino which enrages him.
He bites Scott's arm and while Scott draws blood on this nasty Leprechauin his blood goes into his wound and realises that he is slowly turning into a Leprechaun himself as well as casting evil spells on the people that wished on his gold coin.
In order to become normal again Scott must destroy the Leprechaun's pot of gold which is a danerous task as the Leprechaun himself is protecting it.

This story is a bit of a bore but yet it gets interesting a bit later once we find a twisted secret causing a problem with the young man involved in the plot which we see good action in it with the magic etc.
Yet, it lacks the chemistry on the first two films.

The acting seems to stand up okay but we also have some goofy performances too.
Warwick Davis does splendid as usual in his part with lots of wit
John Gatins does well as a desperate young man in the film and really pulls it off when he changes into a Leprechaun
Lee Armstrong however is a little too melodramatic in her role as she seemsed to only have the good looks for the film.
Supporting character actor who also gained a reputation in theatre acting named Michael Callan as he plays a perfect sleazy casino owner and represents himself a great deal in this film.
Next we have Caroline Williams who has acted in a couple of cult classic horror sequels as a cheating gambler. She seems to do well but her accent needs polishing.
The two actors John DeMita and Tom Dugan are not at all convincing as hitmen which are laughable.

Penthouse model Heidi Staley plays a fantasy girl on TV bare breastys exposed and she comes out of the TV screen too to make out with Callan's character still bare breasted too (Implants are obvious)

A piece of a mans ear is bitten off
A toe is bitten off
An arm is bitten
An eyeball is piopped out of a hitman's head
A woman bloats up and explodes
A magician is sawed in half

Brian Trenchard-Smith seems to do pretty well with his work on this second sequel.
There's a great jumping moment when he directs Warwick jumping on Marcelo Tupert's character as it does surprise you since he appears out of nowhere.
He directed Caroline WIlliams and John Gatins well during the gambling scene as she seems obviously deceiv9ing that he will win if he cashes his watch which is normal for any scammer convincing another person to still gamble.
Brian directs Gatins very goofily when his character is slowly changing into a Leprechaun especially when he orders all sorts of potatoes at the casino lounge. However, he shows nice serious moments when he realises that he's in toruble and the classic Leprechaun battle between him and Warwick looks great.
The scene between Lee Armstrong and Michael Callan looks overly silly when he grants his wish on her seducing him

Jonathan Elias does the typical classical type playing on a synthesizer but he is wonderful at it proving that this isn't too typical with a low budget film

Lucky: He's a good luck charm.
Gupta: Yes, I can see it's working very well.

Leprechaun: Ahhh... lovely golden palaces completely full of riches. I'll rip 'em off and rob 'em blind, those dirty sons of bitches.

Scott: Excuse me, where can I cash a check?
Mitch: You old enough to be in here, kid?
[sees the amount of Scott's check]
Mitch: Yes, you're old enough. Right over there. If there's anything you need, just come to me.

Mitch: Ladies and gentlemen, due to a slight solicrivilance in the stem of the wheel, the situation is thus - this table is now closed.

Leprechaun: I want my gold shilling. Tell me where it is or there will be another killing.

Scott: [on the phone] Yeah, give me hotel security. Yeah, I'd like to report a leprechaun in your hotel. No, a LEPRECHAUN. Yeah, little green guy. HE TRIED TO KILL ME! Hello?

Fazio: [Leprechaun has turned his white rabbit into a pile of dung] Oh, shit!
Leprechaun: A little token of my esteem. It is exactly what it seems. Made fresh daily at exactly 9:00. It comes from my shillelagh. You can keep it in a crock. Ha ha.

Scott: There once was a lady of Totten / Whose tastes grew perverted and rotten. / She cared not for steaks / Or for pastries and cakes / But lived upon penis au gratin.
Waitress: Metallica. No, wait... White Zombie. I got the album. Enjoy your spuds!
Scott: What the hell did I just say?

Tammy: Let me go, you son of a bitch!
Leprechaun: Now that's no way to speak about me mother, bless her green soul.
