Leprechaun 3
On a normal night in Las Vegas, Nevada, the neon lights flashed brightly as a man with one hand, one eye, and one leg walked into a pawn shop, clutching a statue of a hideous Leprechaun. The owner insists it's a good luck charm. The statue wore a medallion around its neck. In a careless moment, the pawn shop owner removed the medallion, setting the Leprechaun free.

Gimly
The idea of a Monkey's Paw in Las Vegas is actually pretty solid, but it's poorly executed, doesn't mesh with the mythology of the series set up at this point, and also is hamstrung by a strange pseudo-"Werewolf in Vegas" arc that crops up in the second half. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

_**Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, TAMMY**_ RELEASED TO VIDEO in 1995, "Leprechaun 3" is the second sequel in the series about a hideous little leprechaun (Warwick Davis) who likes to kill those who take from his pot of gold. This one's set in Las Vegas and features a young dude who gets infected with the Leprechaun's green blood and starts to morph into a (taller) leprechaun himself (John Gatins). Although "Leprechaun 3" plays it pretty straight there's also quite a bit of camp. Regardless, it's nigh impossible to take seriously due to the cartoonish leprechaun; consequently, the film is more comedy than horror. In fact, it's not horrifying at all. But it _IS_ entertaining, and that's the name of the game. As my title blurb would suggest, "Leprechaun 3" is well worth watching for the character of Tammy alone, played by Lee Armstrong. It's great to have an intelligent, winsome female protagonist with actual and natural curves, rather than the usual too-thin blondes with chicken legs and fake breasts. Lee blows them all out of the water and her outfits only accentuate her appeal. Too bad she left acting behind the same year "Leprechaun 3" was released, but at least we have this film to remember her awe-inspiring beauty. THE FILM RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Las Vegas. GRADE: B+
