Warning: Spoilers
If you read my review of "Leprechaun", "Leprechaun 2", "Leprechaun 3", "Leprechaun 4 - Leprechaun in Space" and wondered if Warwick Davies survived then welcome to your answer….. No, he died in the first, second, third and fourth film…. But Yes, he came back… this time in "da Hood"!

To be frank, he shouldn't have been brought back, he should have been left dead and buried but hey-ho, here he is in film number 5 and being milked for all the emerald coloured milk his lactating bosom can eject.

This Leprechaun film is 75% "Boyz in da Hood" and "Friday" and only 25% Leprechaun movie, however Ice (M.F.) T and Coolio are among the rap legends to appear. This film is all about the magical flute which has until now not been mentioned in the previous Leprechaun films.

Sometime in the 1970s, treasure seekers Mack Daddy O'Nassas (Ice-T) and comrade Slug (Barima McKnight) break into a small room inside of a disco nightclub. Ice-T takes the flute while his partner steals the gold, thus releasing the Leprechaun. The freedom is only short lived as he is soon imprisoned in stone again thanks to the Medallion seen in the 2nd film. Flash Forward to what looks like the 90's and 3 young guys from 'da hood' ( Postmaster P (Anthony Montgomery), Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nall), and Butch (Red Grant) ) are struggling to make any waves in the rap scene, Ice-T is the headline star of the era promoting Gangster Rap, bitches, hoes, and benjamins. Down on their luck the 3 young rappers decide to break into Ice-T's house/office so they can steal his gold and use it to help their own success. Ultimately it all goes pear shaped, they don't get any loot, they do manage to somehow steal the flute, but they also manage to free the evil Leprechaun - oh yeah, a word of note, by this film the Irish accent that the Leprechaun had in film 1 is almost none existent now.

Towards the end of the film after lots of fighting, shooting, blunt smoking, hoe abusing, benjamin making and rapping Postmaster P is offered to join alliance with Mack Daddy who has the gold medallion -the only thing that can stop the Leprechaun. Postmaster P refuses just as the Leprechaun regains consciousness and kills Mack Daddy. The Leprechaun commences in a final showdown with Postmaster P over the flute. Postmaster P successfully outsmarts the Leprechaun and returns the amulet around his neck, freezing him.

Sometime later, Postmaster P has gone solo and has made it to the finals of the competition. He raps about his struggles to make it to the top of the hip-hop industry earning him a standing ovation from the audience. After his performance, Postmaster P removes his sunglasses revealing that he is under the Leprechaun's control.

The finale of the film see's the Leprechaun himself spitting verses like a pro!

Having watched the film when I was younger and then watched it again to remind myself of how bad it is for this review hopefully I won't need to watch it again - please please please not again!!
