I remember loving the first 3 instalments, then... They took him to space for a very uninspired story that was just boring... Even that princess women's boobs were a let down... They looked big in that gold bra.
Then I saw the Lep in the Hood, and it was pretty sad. It looked more cheaply done, I forget where the Leprechaun statue came in from, but it looked like it was styrofoam.
Problem with these things is they start off relatively creepy, but then it dwindles down into one cheap joke after the next, just like Child's Play.
