Warwick Davis was the only reason to watch most of the films, they were pretty bad. There's some fun to be had but not enough.

I don't think they're great films, but I do think they are enjoyable. Well, at least the first 3 are. After Leprechaun 3, which was arguably the best in the series, they got it way too silly with the 4th one in space and the 5th and 6th ones in the hood. However, what I did enjoy from those ones that Origins didn't have was Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun, who is the Robert Englund as Freddy from the Elm Street franchise; you can't top nor replace the role of the famous icon. Thus, having the demon thing in Origins definitely brought it down for me, making it pretty boring and just the worst of the movies.

Space one was whack and not in a good way. I barely remember the hood ones but seem to recall them not being completely terrible. I'm staying away from the Origins from all I've heard of it.

I agree that the Las Vegas one (part 3) is the best film in the series. It's by far the most mean-spirited Leprechaun film and features some creative kills. |

Watched the first one last Paddy's Day. Found it surprisingly decent and quite funny. Nowhere near as bad as I'd feared it might be. Warwick Davis knocked it out of the park.

I only saw the first Leprechaun, and the only thing I liked about it was a 22-year-old Jennifer Aniston.  |

I've seen the first three. Certainly a very goofy franchise, but amusing in a cheesy / ridiculous way. It is nice to have seen Warwick Davis so gainfully employed.

Warwick Davis was the only reason to watch most of the films I have no plans on buying more of this franchise, but if I one day end up stumbling upon them for very cheap price, I might give 'em a chance. Anyway, the only thing I do remember from the first one, was as DramaticLookGopher pointed out: |

I don't care for the original, but I actually like 2(my fave), 3 and 4 to some degree. I haven't bothered with the rest.

I think they're hilarious. And not too poorly made. As others have said, it's Warwick Davis who deserves more than the lion's share of the credit. He looks like he's having so much fun with it...and the leprechaun character is horribly cruel in the methods in which it kills a lot of people, but he chews so much scenery while doing it, it makes it morbidly funny.
When he goes to the 'hood' it starts to lose its charm, but there are enough bits of humor in both 'hood' installments to have some fun with it.
I don't know what they were thinking with "Origins." Total wrong direction. It's the worst horror sequel I've seen outside of "
Hellraiser: Revelations" (the one with the recasted Pinhead).

It's a guilty pleasure franchise for me. Like others here, my favorite is the Vegas one (3). Then the space and hood ones are so ridiculous they're fun. I never saw Origins.

Jennifer Aniston is great in 'Leprechaun'. I'm lucky enough to have the 'Leprechaun' collection dvd box-set with the first five films and featuring Ice-T.

I tried to watch all of them, but I couldn't finish the Origins. Anyways, I think that majority of series, besides In Space and Origins, is watchable.
