OMFG, I cant' stop laughing, my side hurts worse than Jesus' --

Somebody musta hacked into my Netflix queue or whatever, but it's all good. Whoever it was gave me the absolute biggest, heartiest, most-self-satisfied laugh of the month (maybe the quarter -- ).

So, check this out... I open up my Netflix envelopes this evening with the usual dinner-n-a-movie-at-home-with-the-wife eagerness... When, to my initial repulsion and distaste, the following odd little film rears its misshapen, green head:





Of course, I had never heard of this film. A little quick Google research turned up the following amusing bits:

Leprechaun in the Hood
Released March 28, 2000, from Trimark Pictures
Directed by Rob Spera
Starring Warwick Davis, Ice-T, A.T. Montgomery

This movie went straight to video, and is rated R for strong violence and gore, pervasive language, drug use and some sexual content. It is the fifth movie in the Leprechaun series, although the number "5" doesn't appear anywhere in the title or credits.

Description from the back cover of the promotional video:

The year is 1993 and the Leprechaun has been awakened from a 20 year nap by four young rap artists looking to make it big.

For the last 20 years the Leprechaun has been kept under wraps by Mack Daddy O?Nassas, a Suge Knight-style hip hop impresario who rose to super-stardom when he discovered the Leprechaun?s gold in 1973. But now the Leprechaun?s golden flute has been stolen from Mack Daddy and he must get it back before the Leprechaun and his Zombie Girls do. Will Mack Daddy get the flute back, or will Stray Bullet, Postmaster P, Butch and Wreck keep it from him and the Leprechaun and make it to Las Vegas for the big talent show ... more

The movie definitely had me rolling, after I got done being disgusted by the mishapen miscreant's face on the cover. Just goes to show how even a meal that gets off with a shitty appetizer and an over-cooked piece of meat can be salvaged by sweet desert. Thanks, oh unknown benefactor in green. You are welcome to my queue anytime. But next time you might wanna use a more public IP --
