Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996 Video)
3/10
bad comedy unless you're making fun of it
26 October 2019
A group of space marines is sent to a distant planet on a search and destroy mission. Sergeant Hooker is not happy to be assigned biological officer Dr. Reeves. The Leprechaun has kidnapped Princess Zarina and is trying to get married as the new King. He gets blown up by a grenade and reborn in one of the marines.

It's a spoof of the Alien franchise done with Leprechaun. I get the basic premise but the jokes aren't sharp enough. It is ridiculous camp but it doesn't know how to make it funny. The odd thing is that Leprechaun is probably the least silly aspect of the movie. Comedy is not easy and this movie proves it. This is made by non-funny people pretending to be funny. Even Warwick Davis' comedic retorts don't work because they have to swim in a sea of cheap, non-funny attempts at jokes. I've made many cutting remarks about the sequel title "In Space" and it's time to actually watch this movie. It does not disappoint. It's as bad as one expects.
