Having neglected the chance to view any of the first three Leprechaun movies, I can safely predict on the strength of Leprechaun 4: In Space that I wouldn't even think about watching them if I was stranded on a desert island, with only 6 hours to live and nothing else to do but watch the first three Leprechaun movies. I would rather watch re-runs of The Dukes Of Hazzard. Leprechaun 4: In Space really is one of the worst movies ever committed to celluloid.
I've seen some mighty stinkers in my time. The cinema can be man's great escape, but it can also be a blaze of hell when it wants to be. Luckily, the big screen was never blessed with Brian Trenchard-Smith's efforts, and when they're this abhorrent, this pathetic, this woeful I hope to god he, or any of his films, is never let anywhere near a cinema screen as long as they are breathing. It is STAGERRINGLY bad. Tongue-in-cheek? The tongue has moved from the cheek, directly down the throat, and is now proceeding to choke me to death. And I hope it does if I ever sit through that again. I've seen porn movies with better effects than that. I've seen school plays with more spirit in their execution. I'm pretty sure I once saw a group of snails slowly trailing along the garden footpath outside my house, far more compelling than whatever the hell this is supposed to be.
I'm pretty sure the editor was good friends with Hunter Thompson, because he must have been high for the whole cutting process. Scenes seem to drag on for no reason. Comical moments that kill the tiny little momentum that the film almost threatens to gather. Nonsensical moments that really make you wonder how much the director must've been peeing himself with laughter. I laughed around about 4 times, non of them to do with jokes (unless you include the movie). IMDb reckons this a Sci-Fi Horror Comedy. I watched this film on the HORROR channel. You know horror, right? Scary, grungy, dark, gory, disturbing...that sort of thing. And Sci-Fi; special effects, philosophy, etc. And comedy which, last I heard, is meant to make you laugh, right? Well can I just take this opportunity to apologise to both Martin Lawrence and Adam Sandler. I know that I said you both suck but believe me - I have now come out of the dark and can see you for the geniuses you so clearly are. I'd rather watch Big Momma's House and Happy Gilmour on a continuous loop whilst being castrated then have to go through Leprechaun 4 again. And all those other movies that I have now come to realise are actually masterpieces like Nick Fury: Agent Of Shield or Dude, Where's My Car? Compared to Leprechaun 4, Dude, Where's My Car? is Citizen Kane, Lord Of The Rings and The Terminator all rolled in to one HUGE, SEARING, life-affirming work of art.
Avoid like the plague. And then blow it up.
