A strong argument could be made that _Back 2 tha Hood_ is the strongest entry in the _Leprechaun_ franchise. Which is just an insane sentence to have to write.

There is absolutely no way that even just any **two** of the _Leprechaun_ movies could make for some sort of actual series of related events. But!

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
