Well we worked our way through Leprechaun 1-3 and finally made it to "Leprechaun in Space". And oh boy was it worth the wait. It had EVERYTHING. I mean EVERYTHING. Like the writers had a huge brainstorm beforehand and didn't edit out any ideas. They threw it all in. There was:
Alien princess
Leprechaun
Space
DNA regeneration through blood
Androids
Half human/half robots
Crazy Scientists
Love Storyline
Insane DNA experiments
Mutants mixtures of spiders and scorpions
GIGANTIC LEPRECHAUN
It was all in there. Didn't matter that one part of the story was never solved, resolved or followed up. Or explained. The fact that the alien princess could regenerate is never explained, it just IS. And it's an excuse for us to later get a mutant of spider/alien/regeneration person that rips the pants off the lady scientist and spins lots of webs and eats flies and is just generally repulsive. Oh wait, the lady scientist isn't a scientist, she's a DOCTOR.. a doctor of BIOLOGY, meaning she's a BIOLOGIST. I got the serious giggles during that little explanation.
There was also a 1o second gratuitous shot of Alien Princess's breasts because in her culture, if royalty shows their breasts it means you are sentenced to death. It made absolutely no sense, it was just an excuse for her to flash, and is never mentioned again. All in all, it was highly entertaining and Jeff and I giggled our whole way through the movie. So, definitely worth it in the sense of renting. Though I still don't think we needed to watch 1-3 to watch this one. And just in case you want to see it again, here's the preview!

You ALWAYS need to watch 1-3 before you watch 4. And you have to admit...it was NOT about someone stealing his gold and he needed to kill them to get it back...that was the plot of 1-3. Part 4 was much more complicated. Now I'm sad that Leprechaun 5 is no longer available on Netflix. Apparently we were too slow.
