One of those ones it's hard to believe they made....

Almost unbelievably ridiculous leprechaun horror film is the fifth in this goofy, occasionally funny series. Ice-T steals the little green dude's magic flute (first series appearance), the key to show business success (via hypnotism, apparently). When 3 would-be (and I DO mean would-be) rappers rob the music tycoon's house, they accidentally free the evil leprechaun, who hounds them and creates a group of "zombie fly-girls" to exploit the hood. Some funny moments as the self-described) "lep O.G." takes to ghetto style like a fish to water, puffing weed and lounging with his girls. The lep raps and tears down the house in an overly silly finale.

Somebody might've told Montgomery and Nall that this was a joke, but it probably would have made the movie less fun; T at least is hammin' it up in high style, matching verbs with series veteran Davis with panache. Better than the fourth in the series, not quite as much fun as the first.
