Welcome to kill count where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies and also the leprechaun ones
I'm James a Jenisse and today
We're looking at leprechaun back to the hood released direct-to-video in
2003 back to the hood doesn't have anything to do with the previous films not even the one it's purportedly going back to but one
Thing it does share with that
Movie is having a real talented cast the quartet of lead actors art Angie Miller
Lau's Alonso Paige Kennedy and sherry Jackson and all of them put in serious
Performances that are leagues better than what we got in those first four movies shit lousy Lanza is so good
He wound up in a fast and furious and friggin avatar writer director Steven Iram Louie changed up the Leprechaun character for this movie getting
Rid of his limericks and most of his magic and instead turned him into an ancient evil folk creature complete with a new outfit that
I personally really day. Hopefully Warwick Davis liked it too since this would be his last time playing the little shit
How many kills the Davis's left kid on his farewell tour of the hood let's find out and get to that?
The movie begins with the Disney style book telling us back story through some pretty cool animation
We learned that leprechauns are forest spirits who guarded their gold from falling into the hands of wicked man
I know I've seen some coke counts online include knights and kings who died in this animation
But I'm not gonna put them on my list cuz it's more of a folktale told within the movie anyway when the leprechauns considered their
Job done they went back to living in the woods all except for one little shit. Who refused to go back home
Are you too good for your home leprechaun answer me cut to this dude father Jacob? Who's looking real crazed and fearful and sweaty
He's so off his rocker that he attacks a friggin rainbow with a shovel careful there, man
You might accidentally hit that little lad who loves berries and cream
Eventually we see what he's so afraid of it's leprechaun and his cool
New cloak looking kind of babadook eBay alleppey boy Jacob gets all crazy eyed and start splashing the leopard oak with some
Holy clover water yeah
slurp gets
So pissed they get into a little /e stabby fight Jacob comes out on top and vanishes left back into the earth from whence he
Came so left gets dragged down into the ground by a bunch of hands pan
I wish a Freddy
Glove would pop up and grab his little leprechaun hat his mission accomplished Jacob
Apologizes to this youth center sign and dies shame about that weird shiny CG blood coming out of him
But whatever I guess oh with God Jacob
It's one year later now
And it doesn't look like that youth center ever came to the project died with father Jacob as we learn from our soon to be
Heroes Emily and her friends Lisa and Jamie Lise is great because she's real good at spelling out the movies
Without any subtlety how come every time some Goods about to happen somebody always gotta go and fuck it on
Jamie meanwhile is in some serious shit with this dude Watson because he owes him money for drugs natch so Watson shakes him down takes
His shoes and gives him till the end of the week to pay it sounds like Jamie's life needs to take a serious u-turn Watson's
Also, got a problem with Emily's ex-boyfriend Rory
Who's new to the drug-dealing game and has been selling in Watson's territory must be working for him though?
Cuz he's obviously making enough to live out his anime inspired dreams with his little cap and jacket and motorcycle
It's so cute Watson's lieutenant Cedric played by rapper sticky fingers talks mad shit
But you know how much Rory gives the fuck the amount it takes to do a drive-by batting boom. It's a home run
And Watson goes wild Emily and Lisa I have a little car malfunction which triggers another overt thematic statement from Lisa
That's gonna go better for him
Why our lives gotta be like this?
Emily promises that things will get better an optimism that keeps her working at a beauty salon while she tries to save up for college
Some peanut gallery ladies make fun of her for wanting to go to Kansas State
But Emily's bigger annoyance is chanel the chick dating her ex Rory, and who's played by the absolutely lovely Keshia
Char can I get some service up in here, okay?
So her characters not exactly lovely here, but for my experience watching lethal weapon footage at my old job
She is a gem of a person Emily and Lisa go to a psychic
Esmeralda who looks into her scale-model son and starts talking to Emily about how she lost her man
And shit way to pick up s cab lady, but then she excites Emily by saying she'll come into Rich's suit
But not so fast there
am cuz some freaky deaky light flickering happens and Esmeralda flips out saying the treasure must be denied when offered cuz it'll actually be a
little shitty were fuckin Paige peel
Transition to a scene where Jamie's getting so movie high he thinks his dog is asking him for a hit
No
You can't have not he finds a four-leaf clover in the weed he bought from Rory so he goes to complain and tell Rory they
He needs better customer service. Do I look like a Kmart?
He also tries real hard to convince Rory that the new slang everyone's using is the word ninja Bale wit cloves ninja ninja
I don't think it's gonna stick
I don't know who's the more annoying customer for Rory Jamie
Or this movie's clueless white dude character who buys Rory's weed for his ambiguous clients my clients love this shit. I swear
I sell more because of this brah Nick Jamie brings, Rory to a little picnic
They're all having at the youth center construction site went. Holy shit
It's a goddamn rainbow hmm, and it feels so good get that colour all up in my body
Yeah
I have no idea what that was all about but when Rory tries to talk to Emily who's super mad at him for the?
Drug-dealing things she walks away and falls into a friggin pit
It didn't get far on that Youth Center project, but I guess they at least broke crap Rory runs off to get help
But Emily just decides to explore this subterranean
Magical land filled with candles and cobwebs and a fun sized treasure chest Rory comes down just in time to join Emily as she opens
Marsellus Wallace's briefcase they count up the souls or gold and figure out that there's a whole lot of money here and Emily's happy to
Share it equally among the four of them. It's more than enough you can all benefit from this
Yep, as long as they spend it responsibly
What do you think the odds of that happening are not high cuz the next thing we get is a montage and I have never
Seen no fiscally responsible montage nah these ladies buy a car
That's probably too expensive and take their riches to Rodeo Drive famously expensive shopping district and the famously expensive Beverly Hills
It's where they rode horses in The Bachelorette last season a reference my viewing demographic is sure to appreciate as far as the dudes go
Jamie responsibly pays back Watson to get out of debt and
irresponsibly buy his two garbage bags full of weed from him - and Rory bought Chanel a whole bunch of stuff as well as a
Glock for himself although she's free to grab his gun whenever she pleases with his gold
Lepers after birdie the left man awakens punching through his shallow dirt bed to grope the open air above it
he must really want to get far from the ground after that burial cuz he's perched in a tree like a gargoyle watching Emily and
Lisa drive around a corner that means he probably found out about this party. They're having where they're playing some off-brand Nelly
Jamie takes a friend up to his room so they can light it up and take a puff
But after Jamie leaves with a lady the left shows up
And his like passed it to me now the guy does and left has such a good time
He winds up rolling around on the floor like a little giggle puss
But he Sobers up real fast when he sees one of his gold shillings that the dude tries to pocket for himself leper
Immediately turns violent stabbing the dude in the gut with the bong and killing him even though if the bomb was sharp enough to impale
His torso how you about to put your mouth on that thing luck wanders downstairs cuz that dude got the munchies
Or he's pregnant either way. He's going for those pickles
It's a real. Goofball scene since Jamie never noticed the sin even slamming the fridge door in his face
I get that it's supposed to be funny
But it's also kind of dumb especially when it ends with Jamie
Accidentally locking left inside the fridge and left just hot boxes it Emily and Lisa find the left broken bong victim and the cops come
To clear the place out this one cop officer Whitaker questions, Rory like he's in the wire or some shit
You've been making a lot of moves on the street in the past couple of days Rory
You can tone down that intensity, dude
We're in a leprechaun movie Jamie gets arrested for possession of grass clippings and the cops take him away meanwhile
Chanel has stolen a coin from Rory and gets him melted down and made into a gold tooth
Which she is just all sorts of excited about left tracks Emily to her work where she's supposed to be giving that one lady Doria
A massage, so wall ends get more oil leppe sneaks in and just has to lap it up
He gives Doria a weak-ass massage
But for some reason she's into it even when he starts walking on her back with his nasty hairy dirty leper feet
But that is killing gene takes over, and he just reaches down and breaks this lady's neck
This is let being a grade-a
Little shit Doria didn't take any of his gold or anything mean old lad Leppa tacks Emily and tries to stab her with a pair
Of scissors, but she fights back by grabbing a hair trimmer and stabbing him in the eye with it
it's a solid bit of gore complete with green blood and it only gets more painful to watch when the cord Yanks left down to
The floor he ends the fun bit by ripping it out and temporarily losing an eye emily runs to Rory and says they have to
Return everything they bought with the gold
And she tells the same to Jamie when he conveniently drives up to them to deliver a curbside so you think you can dance audition
She's not able to get to Lisa though. Who's home by herself until the leprechaun comes and trips are to the ground
They engage in a cat-and-mouse chase with left Jack torn sing his way through the bathroom door and Lisa using a hairspray
flamethrower on his face
But you know lops gonna win this in the end after he appears in the bathroom and leaps on earth and uses his little left
Hand to punch a hole into Lisa stomach. She dies slowly surely wondering what she did to deserve to have this nasty
It's the last thing she ever saw the others get to Lisa's house and find her body
Then retreat back to Emily's house where she says they have to give back all the gold they took
But there's barely anything left since Rory spent most depends easy come easy go when she throws the chest at him
They realized that it's magically refilled itself with souls or gold and then it's a trick that it can repeat at will apparently emily is
Still adamant they return it, but while she's in the other room
Rory apparently takes it in bailed slop comes after Emily that night merely wanting revenge for the barbershop ass beating she delivered
But he sucks so bad that she fends him off with a book, but wait. He's not done yet all from the top turnbuckle
It's a fried leprechaun that aerial maneuver almost gives him the wind, but oh my god
Is that Rory's music it is panties there with a drive-by batting?
Oh, it's a signature move that Rory runs the left over which is just kind of manslaughter
And he gets Emily to saddle up with him and ride left angrily walks after them as the scene fades the morning
I'm sorry. What was that?
That's why I thought you said that morning leprechaun visit Chanel who doesn't waste any time whipping out the shotgun and shooting love with it
But he's fine of course it pulls her to the ground where he sees something. He likes yup. It's her
Gold - unless do you think ripping out a tooth isn't fatal?
We see that whap apparently went overboard when he tosses her jaw to the ground Rory and Emily speed on their bike past those cops
From earlier so they corner them under an overpass and we get another wacky Star Wars transition that the editors found in iMovie
They're actually everywhere in this movie
I just don't have the time to show you although the cops get physical and confiscate the treasure box and since it's illegal to be
In possession of that many souls or gold camp Laurie and Emily get cuffed and put in the backseat of the cruiser
Don't look now. It's notorious civil rights lawyer leprechaun, and he knows those kids
Just got busted on a trumped-up charge
Let files his complaint with the PD by shipping officer Thompson in the gut with his own flashlight and tossing him aside consider your ass
guilty of being dead officer Whittaker tries to shoot at the incoming lap
And then has a pretty sweet MMA fight with the little shit until Webb grabs his leg and wait for it
Yeah, look down there. Dude rips it right to fuck off that wacky
Lap is holding it in his hands
But Whittaker doesn't die right away
Because after all it's just a flesh wound he hops that left a few times in an effort to reclaim his land before he finally
falls to the ground all right
he'll call it a draw left goes after em and Rory next but Emily manages to grab the police shotgun and
Participate in that old reliable pastime of shooting leprechaun good time to mention that now I know shotgun shells don't go into the leper
That's the part that falls to the ground empty
Thank you for correcting me in the comments for my left one kill count now
I know better Rory and Emily scooped up Jamie
So they can get rid of the gold and then they get cornered by Watson and his crew and he steals the gold from Rory
for himself before going to exact some non-monetary revenge
And that's when a police car drives up in a solid gag a cop's foot steps out of the vehicle only for us to see
This the detached limb of officer
Whitaker and that it was actually
leprechaun driving that police car lop tells Watson that the gold
He just took is rightfully his and demands a bad for man
but in another
Decently funny gag Watson puts him on hold as he takes a call from a lady who's all like Watson come here
I want to see you after Watson gets her to take a rain check
He proceeds to uppercut lap into a trash can but lap dusts himself off and encourages Watson to beat the shit out of him guess
He never saw any of the other leprechaun movies Watson cuz leppe could take a beating dude leprechaun basically pulls a Manhattan rooftop Jason here
tyring Watson out before delivering a fatal blow which in this case means stabbing into Watson's gut and ripping out his still-beating
Proper Watson's gang takes an immediate disliking to leprechaun and opens fire on him with a whole arsenal of guns
They just tear into the little shit and get him looking like that part one puppet that fell into the web
But then the puppet turns back into Warwick Davis who tries out that hip new youth slang what's up ninjas
nope sounds weird
But he fights them all but I don't think these first two dudes get killed cuz I'm just hearing standard punching sound effects luck does
Kill Cedric so after he jumps on him and tears into his throat Rory manages to get left off
But it's too late Cedric weeds out to death as he looks into Rory's eyes all like hey, man
Can you believe a leprechaun just did this shit to me?
LUP turns his attention to Rory next going to get hit by a car scary movie style by Emily and Jamie they think they're in
The clear but left his sideshow bobbing underneath that car with some real jank looking special effects that only get worse when he looks through
A hole in the car floor that he tore out
They're eventually able to shake him off the vehicle and drive away
Heading straight to esmeraldas to get somehow
Esmeralda tells them all the back story of the leprechauns that we learned in the opening animation sequence and then says that he has two
Weaknesses his gold and the pony cloud good thing Jamie's got some of Rory's weed on him
and then it just so happens to have clovers in it more he gets to work chopping up the clovers and putting them inside the
Hollow tip bullets first Glock then we clock
Wipe away to Rory and Jamie getting ready for the big leprechaun showdown lumpy Boy bust down the door and Rory just shoots him friggin
immediately
He puts a few more rounds in him which causes left to bleed out yellow floating bubbles
But when his gun gets jammed love just sucks all those little orbs back into his chest and knocks down both
Rory and Emily Jamie enters the match with the homerun bat
But let break sit over his knee and stabs Jamie in the leg with it but comes in baseball bats are boring
Let's have a motherfucking magic fight between Esmeralda and leprechaun Hayley
Yeah, she starts hitting him up with some powerful blue magic orbs and shit
And she seems to have the upper hand until Webb sighs glow red and he crawls like a demon
We stray further from God with every one of these movies Esmeralda screams to death in an exterior shot meaning
We'll never know what dark magic. He used to kill her with but those storm eyes
Tell me she's pretty dead Rory and Emily escape and wind up on top of the roof
Aleph is able to just transport to where they are and get into another
Beat him up knock him down fight emily puts it on pause when she grabs the treasure chest and starts throwing his gold shillings off
Of the roof and into some drying cement, baby
Emily is able to get away from the lab she winds up in a couple of nightmarish
Locations when he finally catches up to her in a last-ditch effort to defeat him
Emily opens up the furnace and tosses his chest of gold into it then she tosses him inside the flames as well
But mocks him up like he's an evil eppie entity it burns up all nasty like melting into a gross green sweaty skull when Emily
Goes to get Rory from the rooftop
She's followed by a rainbow cuz this little skittles motherfucker doesn't know when to stop he ends up knocking Rory down and throwing Emily off
The roof so she's hanging on to the edge for dear life watch it damn. This dude loves playing this little piggy
It looks like the only one going
We-we-we've today is leprechaun cuz Rory gets his Glock working and shoots Leprechaun with the remaining clover bullet spurring some more weird yellow bubbles out
Of his body as Rory
heroically rescues Emily from the edge lept manages to just suck those orbs back inside of himself again and take like a
Thousand and one more bolus seriously. What is up with those orbs?
They don't seem to do anything because what really spells the end of lap is Emily hitting him with the treasure chest to knock him
off the roof to fall down down down with all the shillings into a perfectly left sized little pool of wet cement luck takes a
Really long time terminating his way down below the surface
But eventually he's fully submerged which I'll go ahead and count on the West a rooftop hug signals the end of our story
Oh wait, let's de new mom with some Macy Gray sounding music over a happy motorcycle montage
Nice we also get confirmation that Jamie lived oh and love the youth center
Finally open good times the act closed that motherfucking book left went back to the hood
But did he pick up more kills on a second visit. Let's find out and get to the numbers
There were 11 victims in leprechaun back to the hood meaning that the kills managed to steadily increase for every war Davis leprechaun movie
Good work
What the victims included seven men and four women the most balanced gender breakdown for a leprechaun movie yet with the runtime of 90 minutes
That comes out to a kill on average every 8.1 eight minutes
I'll give the golden chainsaw for coolest kill to officer Whitaker tearing a leg off is one of the more graphic kills Lepus done
But what really seals the deal is Whitaker's?
Reluctance to give up and die as well as the post-mortem uses leg kits for that funny police car gag the almost ready for lamest
Kill will go to Doria
Not only because it's a return to those lame neck snaps from the first couple of movies
But also because she didn't do anything laughs
And that's it leprechaun back to the hood came out on video in 2003 and would be Ward Davis's last dance with lepa boy
I'll admit that while covering these movies
I've developed a slight fondness for the little shit
So it's a real shame to have to trade him in for the thing we get in leprechaun origins
We'll look at that reboot on Friday, but until then I'm James a JD's this has been the kill count
Thanks a lot for watching today's kill count. I won't thank a couple of patrons like lee chapman and eddie Vegas
I got some bad news for you. There's only one leprechaun movie laughs God
Don't you wish there were like a dozen of these things don't expect leprechaun origins to be anything like the movies that we just covered
Cuz it is not and for everyone wanting to know the next franchise. You'll find out soon
I'll see you on Friday for that and unlike that little shit leprechaun be good people
