  Maybe the worst movie in history
  
  This movie has atrociously bad...well...everything. Between the ridiculous scenarios, the third-grade plot, the acting and sound effects that would draw boos at one of those "make your own music video" booths in the mall, possibly the most ignorant script ever written, and rapping worse than Vanilla Ice's second album, I was genuinely nauseated by this execrable, banal rubbish. Everyone involved with this project should be black-listed from Hollywood, and forbidden from ever being filmed again (even home movies).
  
  If it weren't for the fact that no movie will ever have a funnier "setting a midget on fire"-scene, this movie would be a complete and unequivocal waste.

  ICE T ROCKS
  
  Not as entertaining as its sequel "Back to Da Hood", but you gotta love ICE T.

  IRISH RAPPER
  
  Here we go again...not only is this fifth entry in the LEPRECHAUN series unimaginative and repetitive, 95% of the dialogue contains profanity, profanity and more profanity. Shows that writers sometimes can't come up with legitimate dialogue and think that everyone in the world likes to use the F word in every sentence.
  Aside from that though, the leprechaun franchise is worn out. The little leprechaun is always after his gold and the people who steal it are usually numbnuts or just simply stupid. The rap "music" in this film is bland and boring; the effects dimestore quality and hopefully even though there IS still another hood movie out, we won't be subjected to any more. Enough!!!

  Not as good as other lep movies
  
  I am a fan of the Leprechaun series. I think the little guy is both scary and funny. Some of the movies are good, some are not so good. First of all, your common sense has to go out for a smoke while watching these films. I enjoyed 'In Space' and 'Back to the Hood'. But this one 'In the Hood' just isn't as good.
  
  Sure it has it's moments. The film starts out promising enough with Ice T dressed like Rolo from Sanford and Son and sporting a Hendrix afro, but not even Mack Daddy can save this film.
  
  The stereotyping is deliberate and hysterical. Who can't laugh when Lep says "Steal me gold youlittle hoods, ye got more balls than Tiger Woods!" Other moments of true comedy are when the blind grandmother is feeding Lep and accidently pulls his eye out with a fork, and the 'Church Rap'. The lyrics are dismal to say the least. "Jesus loves me this I know, if He don't I'll find a hoe." Brilliant.
  
  Leprechaun has a lot of powers in this movie., He can make your gun heat up so that you drop it, he can make your insides explode, he can make you turn your own gun on yourself, and he does a little 'Invasion if the Body Snatchers' too. He gets his small band of "Fly Lep cootchie girls' to do his bidding.
  
  The plot (yes there is one) is as asinine as they come. Not only does Lep have a pot o' gold, he has a magic flute. No matter how bad your music is, just blow the flute and everyone will think it's the greatest music they've ever heard. It's every rapper's and garage band's dream come true. Three young rappers with a positive message go hard core and use the flute to go to the top. However, only one survives. He does this by dressing up like a woman. Uh, you'll have to see this part yourself.
  
  As much as I love lep though, there's one thing that he must never, ever do again. I like to see the little guy kill and mame, but Lord, don't let him sing again.

  Now I can die happy because..
  
  I have now seen everything..Irishmen and lovers of Gangsta Rap/ghetto movies now have something in common..'A Lep in Da Hood, the true O.G'..wow!! From the movie title and the fact that the Original Gangsta himself, Ice-T, stars in it, you should already realise that this is not going to be a good movie, if you expect anything else, then maybe you should cut down on that medication.
  Anywhoos back to the movie, it has everything you could ask for from a low budget extravaganza, terrible acting, crass racial stereotypes, nausea inducing rapping and even worse rhyming from Da Lep. For the 'icing on the cake' you have a preposterous 'plot', which in no shape or form makes any sense whatsoever. In short this movie is atrocious, so bad that you can't help but enjoy yourself. The director is from the 1980's Sam Raimi school of movie making i.e. 'we'd like to make a scary movie, but we have a seriously low budget, so we are going to just settle for taking the piss' etc. It is hilariously bad, even more so in the rare scenes when it supposed to be serious. Thank God, there are still directors out there, who don't take themselves or their work seriously. What a great world we live in!
  If you are looking for a good scare, look elsewhere, but if you consider yourself as I do, a connoisseur of bad movies, then you are in for a treat. If you, also like myself, posses a `cringe inducing' DVD collection, the kind that you are even afraid to show to your closest relations because it is so bad, then you must buy this, otherwise your life will not be complete.
