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. It certainly makes the most sense out of any of the movies. Now does it have any sort of applicable continuity to the movie that is its predecessor? Or indeed any of the Leprechaun movies? Just like every other one of these sequels, the answer to that question is a firm no. 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! Contained completely within itself, Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood actually does have a comprehensible throughline of plot, setting, lore, and characters, which is amazing. It's pretty embarrassing that the bar is that low, but there you are.
Also features the most vicious and hands-on version of the Leprechaun we've seen to date, and that's not nothin'.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

Where are the rhymes? It was a peculiar thing about it, and now that's gone.
