The plot for this movie is pretty bad. No amount of star power could have hoped to make this a classic horror movie. With a budget of $900,000 it's hard to imagine what they could have done to make it better. During it's opening weekend Leprechaun garnered just shy of $2.5 million. Since it's release though in 1993, Leprechaun has grossed over $8.2 million. Unfortunately, it has become an almost cult classic, especially around St. Patty's Day in March. Go figure! I guess there is no accounting for taste.
Warwick Davis plays the nasty little Leprechaun who is in search of his pot of gold. The pot of gold was stolen by a man named Dan O'Grady and brought from Ireland to the United States. The Leprechaun follows O'Grady to reclaim the gold, but O'Grady traps the Leprechaun. Unfortunately, O'Grady suffers a heart attack after the confrontation. Also, O'Grady's wife was killed by the Leprechaun before being trapped.
Ten years pass and J.D. Reding buys O'Gray's home. He begins to move in with his daughter, Tory (played by Jennifer Aniston), accompanying him for the summer. Reding hires a local trio to repair and paint the house. Almost immediately the trio of handymen, along with Tory and her father, are tormented by the sadistic Leprechaun.
I cannot list my favorite scenes because I don't have any. Some of the scenes of the Leprechaun driving a small car are pretty funny.
