Leprechaun 4: In Space
Short description
The Leprechaun has left Earth behind for a distant planet, where he seizes Princess Zarina and intends to marry her so he can claim her royal title and rule the universe. A platoon of Earth marines arrives to rescue her and stop him, but the Leprechaun slips aboard their orbiting ship and turns his tricks on the crew, determined to take his bride back.
Brian Trenchard-Smith directed this sixth film in his directing career, following Sahara (1995) and preceding Britannic (2000). Dennis A. Pratt wrote the screenplay, and Warwick Davis returns as the Leprechaun, joined by Brent Jasmer, Jessica Collins, Guy Siner, Gary Grossman and Rebekah Carlton as Princess Zarina. The production, from Trimark Pictures and Lionsgate, among others, cost about 2 million dollars.
The film is a horror comedy set in outer space, mixing fantasy and science fiction. It has a critics' rating of 4.8/10 from nine reviews, while audiences rate it 3.6/10 on IMDb from roughly 9,800 votes and 4.6/10 on TMDB from a much smaller number of votes, so the scores reflect a widely seen picture that draws limited enthusiasm from both professional reviewers and viewers.
What's left behind the scenes
- The entire film was shot at one of the studios in Los Angeles.
- The film was released in the US only on video.
- Brent Jessmer bears a resemblance to Sylvester Stallone, and director Brian Trenchard-Smith initially wanted him to portray Stallone throughout the entire film. This idea was later abandoned.
- According to David Trippet (who was an executive producer of the first three films in the franchise), they had intended to make the film a parody of Ron Howard's sci-fi film "Apollo 13" (1995). Someone from the management of "Trimark Pictures" saw a poster for Howard's film and ordered that Tom Hanks' face be replaced with the Leprechaun's face. After that, work began on the script.
