Funny enough my friend and I watch Leprechaun and the sequels while getting absolutely shitfaced on St Patrick's day every year and we asked that very question how much was the gold worth? And we more or less figured out how much the 100 gold coins were worth So gold was worth $360.05 an ounce in 1993 so figuring the coins weighed 1 troy ounce a piece so roughly 36 Grand and gotta be honest doesn't feel remotely worth the bullshit of fighting a magical leprechaun to get it
What type of gold are you using as a reference? 24 karat or 14 karat? Anyway, I always thought that the gold is magical and therefore special and therefore worth more. Mayby there is more than it seems or it can duplicate or something.
The first movie brought in all the D&D Players and other nerdy lore nuts, with all the Leprechaun superstitions accurately. And it was all played straight. it would not have worked without Warrick Davis. and then lead to all the sequels
You're the living proof that one can make professional YT videos while delivering honest and creative content with tasteful self-advertisement, bravo ! And thanks for the Summer Special, yours are one of the best things about summer !
Yeah, Lep in the Hood is probably the best so bad it's good movie ever made. An absurd premise that's not being taken seriously, but still has a ton of effort being put into it.
I love Warwick David's performance which makes the movie series. The movie spawned many sequels due to a surprise cult hit at theaters for the original and video rentals-sales for the sequels. I think it spawned a series due to being the studio (Trimark)'s biggest hit and being unique at its time (the 1990s).
I spent the whole video hoping this was going to turn into a summer series. Considering how nuts this franchise gets, I can't wait for your videos on them!
And he eventually makes it out into outer space and he goes to the hood, twice. And the one when he goes to the hood I actually thought Ice T was a pretty funny over the top character in that movie.
I liked this movie cause it was supposedly a "scary" movie that family would say until I saw it for sure and it was just funny and enjoyable soft core horror haha
You did Pumpkinhead, an unknown weird horror franchise from my childhood I thought was forgotten. Doing Leprechaun feels like completing the 80s vibe. Thanks, Hair Man!
well, except Leprechaun came out in the early 90s. Leprechaun & Wishmaster were in what I consider to be the bronze age of slasher films with Wishmaster being a personal favorite of mine (which Decker thankfully has already covered, and one series I hope will return with a proper 3rd entry, so we can wash the bad taste of 3 & 4 out of our mouths).
@Adolf Hitler No you are right, most modern horror movies are just forgettable, and I can't remember the last of the slasher genre that was good. Overall I think Virus from 99 was really the end of the era for horror classics, or at least ones with that oldschool vibe with grainy footage and fun practical effects. There's still some good horror movies like Color Out of Space and The Lighthouse from recent but they're definitely few and far between.
8:17 how skeptical do you have to be to see a rainbow in the middle of a dry day, physically follow the end of it, find gold, and STILL not believe your dumb friend saw a leprechaun?
Now all we need is childs play eventually cant wait for leprechaun 3 and 4 idc how bad they are there so awesome its unreal me and my brothers wasted so much money renting these movies back in the day mom shudve jus bought them lol
@@relicdad88 I probably rented the one where he goes to Las Vegas 100x as a kid 😂 By the time he got to space, I was mostly over the series, but Ive followed Decker for a while now and that has always been my one request: Do the Leprechaun series 😅
just realized how the movie rules were changed in Leprechaun 3. Jennifer got scratched, her dad got bitten but never changed into a Leprechaun.. as the main male character did. Anyways... great review as always. Hope that you're taking time out to relax and recover.
Oof, nice reveal of a new "Summer of" series! Im really glad Decker is finally doing this franchise. Not too long ago, i could have sworn he had reviewed one of these movies but when i searched for it i was surprised to find he never did.
This is my first “summer of” that I’m going to watch from the begging since I started watching your channel and this time last year and I just about screamed out in joy with everyone sleeping in my house when that line hit keep it up dude, love your content
As a child I quickly learned that 4 leaf clovers are basically 1 every square meter. How a leprechaun could even move at all in Ireland is a riddle in itself.
The first one is like you said a fun horror comedy. I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid with my mom and we laughed through it. But how it got so many sequels is insane.
“Im just gonna name drop the most Irish TH-camr I know, call me Kevin” haha my guy mentioning my favourite TH-camr, I’m subscribing just for that alone
Glad to see you doing well Decker Shado and I couldn't be happier to see you covering this franchise! This is 90s horror at its finest until they run it into the ground with 10 million sequels😭🤣
In my head it works on werewolf rules and the guy bitten by the leprechaun that we never see again is somewhere slowly transforming into a leprechaun himself.
Oh and decker with exceptions of "the Hood" Leprechaun films and Leprechaun Returns each film is a Stand alone film about a different Leprechaun strangely enough all played by warwick davis until Leprechaun Returns
I've been following you since your xenomorph in detail video (sorry can't think of the exact title) Its been awhile since I've checked out your newer videos and I'm glad I did.(nothing you did or didn't do, I work alot and have been spending electronic time on streaming services) You are one in a million and I'm glad you're still kicking ass.
I went to a special midnight St Patrick's day screening of this absolutely blasted on Guinness, which is the best possible way to watch this movie as an adult. Jokes aside, I have a genuine love for ol' Leppy boy - an unusual monster, creative (if goofy) gore, and a cast of simple but all relatively likeable main heroes who all live! Fairly unique in the annals of horror I'd say.
Yes! I'm so glad you'll be doing the whole franchise over the summer! I do enjoy this first one, I agree it has tonal problems though. If you like MST3K and Rifftrax style movie riffs, I highly recommend the Hor-Riff-ic Productions riff of this movie, it's very funny.
My childhood. I stayed up with my grandpa waiting for this to come on I can't remember what it was or if we rented but I made it to the scene where they are driving her jeep right before they get to the house for the first time and I fell asleep lmao
Yes yes yes Just what I needed before I head into work. Something to look forward to today. Thank you for the upload. I hope things have been settling down at home and that it didnt spread.
OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SUMMER! YOU BETTER HIGHLIGHT THE BAT OUT OF THE AFRO! I SWEAR ITS MY FAVORITE PART OF THAT ONE (pretty sure its 4, maybe 3?)
I love all things Warwick Davis! He is no joke one of my favorite actors and he can't really act ha. thats not true he does a fine job and I'm here for all of it. The Leprechaun is good stuff and a full classic of horror media. It's full of that early 90's we don't have to explain shit mentality and while the later movies get progressively worse they're still good old fashioned bad movie fun Great to see you up and about Decker my dude. Don't push yourself too hard and make sure you recover.
I was momentarily confused when I got the notification for the video because I was so certain Decker had already reviewed Leprechaun. Then I realized I was thinking about Ryan Hollinger covering it. You know, because the two creators are so alike 😅😂😂.
I have fond memories of renting this movie because my sister was terrified of the leprechaun lol. She insisted on 'Pippy Longstocking' from Sweden and I got the leprechaun movie! She wanted 'Mac and me', I GOT THE LEPRECHAUN! Eventually, we both grew up and teamed up against our parents and collectively 'Adam Sandler-ed' and 'Paulie Shore-ed' them into madness!

36k in 1993? Hell, what would that be worth in 2022 dollars? 150k?
Or half a million in 2023 dollars.
@Adolf Hitler I'd fight two leprechauns for a Klondike bar
What type of gold are you using as a reference? 24 karat or 14 karat?
Anyway, I always thought that the gold is magical and therefore special and therefore worth more. Mayby there is more than it seems or it can duplicate or something.
@@badquestion4785 24K if memory serves
Don’t forget his gold would instantly refill
Warwick Davis was the backbone of this franchise.
so true

Hmmm with the timeframe of this and the fact this is normally the time decker does his summer reviews.... i'm gonna guess its the SUMMER OF LEPRECHAUN
I knew it , now we get lot of Tom Cruise movies , when top gun sequel is out :-)
You called it
when I first saw the puppet master review, I thought he was starting the summer early, lol.
You're the living proof that one can make professional YT videos while delivering honest and creative content with tasteful self-advertisement, bravo !
And thanks for the Summer Special, yours are one of the best things about summer !
The moral of the movie: DO NOT STEAL FROM THE IRISH!!!!
Glad you're doing better decker
Don’t steal from anyone period.
@@lightingboy1001 but then how will I play GTA Online if I'm not supposed to steal from anyone?!
Gosh dang it! There goes my weekend gaming binge! 😉😀
These movies are hit or miss but Warwick is easily the best part of the series.
Thank you for doin this series also I hope you're feeling better
Warwick Davies is an English treasure and should be protected at all costs.
@@hannahstevenson27 so true
Yeah, Lep in the Hood is probably the best so bad it's good movie ever made. An absurd premise that's not being taken seriously, but still has a ton of effort being put into it.

An Unseelie Summer? Nice.

I enjoy the fact deckers Irish accent sounds like he is impersonating an Australian dojng a jamaican accent
Oh yeah. I wasn't sure we were gonna get a video this week! Cheers Decker. Lovely to see you're better!

Kill count was five: the wife, two police officers, the collector dude, and the original Irish guy.
5:36 Jennifer rocking that 90's LA Gear. Nostalgia.
SUMMER OF LEPRECHAUN! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOO!
Leprechaun strangely feels like a wholesome family horor movie
right
As a child I quickly learned that 4 leaf clovers are basically 1 every square meter. How a leprechaun could even move at all in Ireland is a riddle in itself.
"No, but there's FREEDOM!" that killed me. Great review, Derek Shado
The first one is like you said a fun horror comedy. I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid with my mom and we laughed through it. But how it got so many sequels is insane.
very excited for this series, leprechaun has a special place in my heart.
Yes! Finally! the Leprechaun series! I've been waiting a good while for this.
Like me ole granddad once told me, "Boyo, never take a leprechaun's gold"
I'm aware of three posters for this movie made over the years and as Jennifer Annistan becomes more famous the larger her presence in said posters.
The true gold here lies within Decker himself.
Ok, remember... Summer of Keanu next year. You've got like 2 series to work with and plenty of schlock... also the movie he directed.
I remember being like 10 years old, eating pizza and being so hype this was on cable. Best time ever.
OH SHIT! It's gonna be a Leprechaun Summer!
Leprechaun in Space PLEASE!!!!!
Killing it as always Decker and love going back into the older reviews
Warwick also played a leprechaun before, in a very unlucky leprechaun named Lucky.
can’t wait for summer of the leprechaun
Your reviews and humor always makes me smile. Love how you are editing yourself into the movies, hilarious!
Wow 11th summer special! I started watching during Summer of Hellraiser !!! Congratulations Decker.
I’m guessing it’s the Summer of the Leprechaun!
Finally, the legendary series. I’m hyped for this. Haven’t seen a review of this in decades.
Fuck yeah! Summer reviews are here!
Ah finally a classic being brought into the channel. Was wondering when you would do this sense I've seen it being requested a few times.
“Im just gonna name drop the most Irish TH-camr I know, call me Kevin” haha my guy mentioning my favourite TH-camr, I’m subscribing just for that alone
nothing like a DECKER SHADO video when you are having a rough day and thank you so much
9:42 NOT really what a father wants to hear his daughter say... LOL
Yes! My favorite series! Thank you Decker!
Decker deserves more subscribers. He is my favorite reviewer of movies. And I follow a lot of them.
Glad to see you doing well Decker Shado and I couldn't be happier to see you covering this franchise!
This is 90s horror at its finest until they run it into the ground with 10 million sequels😭🤣
Yay an early birthday present!
In my head it works on werewolf rules and the guy bitten by the leprechaun that we never see again is somewhere slowly transforming into a leprechaun himself.
I believe they do that in the third movie, a guy gets bitten and starts slowly turning into a tall Leprechaun
@@mrcritical6751 Oh my God I thought I was joking, I didn't know those maniacs really went and did it
Glad to see you are feeling better and to hear that it didn’t effect your alluring ability of alliteration!
From 10:30 to 10:47 I was fondly remembering Ginny's car in Friday the 13th Part 2.
Oh and decker with exceptions of "the Hood" Leprechaun films and Leprechaun Returns each film is a Stand alone film about a different Leprechaun strangely enough all played by warwick davis until Leprechaun Returns
Oddly enough, this was originally going to be a child friendly horror movie. Warwick is great in everything. Excellent video!
Warwick Davis IS the Leprechaun franchise.
I've been following you since your xenomorph in detail video (sorry can't think of the exact title) Its been awhile since I've checked out your newer videos and I'm glad I did.(nothing you did or didn't do, I work alot and have been spending electronic time on streaming services) You are one in a million and I'm glad you're still kicking ass.

About time he does this!
Great to see your channel growing man, been here since the early days and enjoying your evolution
Glad to see your feeling better. Love Warwick Davis. Glad to see your doing the summer of Leprechaun.
Warrick davis did a fantastic job as the leprechaun. I don’t think you can play a much better leprechaun than he did. The first one is a classic
11:48 Decker’s humor is better than any other reviewer this is comedy gold😂😂
I sort of want to see you tackle the "Critters" movies at some point. They're delightfully campy and fun.
19:50 - 20:01 "Top of the morning, laddies! I'm the Leprechaun, and today on Jackass, I'm going to Wiley Coyote crash through that fence!"
The fact Decker watches Callmekevin brings me joys
you should do "the people under the stairs."
it is another movie in a similar vein as fhis one, exeptnit is alot more serious/creepy
Good choice.
Would love to see him review Shocker.
It was unique and propped by Davis's talent. I loved it, and I watched many of the sequels.
Yes! I'm so glad you'll be doing the whole franchise over the summer! I do enjoy this first one, I agree it has tonal problems though.
If you like MST3K and Rifftrax style movie riffs, I highly recommend the Hor-Riff-ic Productions riff of this movie, it's very funny.
I knew it! The minute I saw the alert I KNEW Decker was going to do the Summer of Leprechaun!
Gotta say when the Puppet Master review came out I was hoping for Summer of Puppet Master..but HOLY FUCK is this so much more hype.
My childhood. I stayed up with my grandpa waiting for this to come on I can't remember what it was or if we rented but I made it to the scene where they are driving her jeep right before they get to the house for the first time and I fell asleep lmao
Wooo! I was waiting for the summer special announcement!
Yes yes yes
Just what I needed before I head into work. Something to look forward to today.
Thank you for the upload. I hope things have been settling down at home and that it didnt spread.
OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SUMMER! YOU BETTER HIGHLIGHT THE BAT OUT OF THE AFRO! I SWEAR ITS MY FAVORITE PART OF THAT ONE (pretty sure its 4, maybe 3?)
The vehicle problems was also hinted before the chase in Friday the 13th part 2.
poor puppet master, no summer for them
Finally... the Summer Special I've been waiting for since Freddy V Jason. It has begun.
One thing I will say is that this film gets to the point right away unlike many horror films and shows.
Decker, I absolutely love your Donald Pleasance impersonation 😂
I wish Decker walked out from the tree the Leprechaun ran behind in the intro.
I'm ready for the summer of leprechaun.
I love all things Warwick Davis! He is no joke one of my favorite actors and he can't really act ha. thats not true he does a fine job and I'm here for all of it.

Hope your doing fine Decker, looking forward for this summer.
It may not be the best franchise...but you can tell no matter what Warwick Davis is having a fucking BLAST with this role
Liking the energy. Seems a bit sad but I've seen all your 'Summer of...' series more than once, some more than thrice.
Strangely the Leprechaun's "leprechaun name" was Ross.
What would happen if the leprechaun from Lucky Charms was a fanboy of Ted Bundy.
Yes!!! I've been waiting for you to cover these!!!
I was momentarily confused when I got the notification for the video because I was so certain Decker had already reviewed Leprechaun. Then I realized I was thinking about Ryan Hollinger covering it. You know, because the two creators are so alike 😅😂😂.
Oh yeah!
And the whole time they couldn’t have done more than 30 minutes of house painting judging from that patch
I'm glad this is going to be a summer series these movies are really fun and goofy
Can't wait to see your take on them
Thank you for these awesome videos Mr. Shado!
Warwick Davis kills it in these movies.
I have fond memories of renting this movie because my sister was terrified of the leprechaun lol. She insisted on 'Pippy Longstocking' from Sweden and I got the leprechaun movie!

@Adolf Hitler lose that despicable name would ya!?
I'm already subscribed, and always hit like, but I appreciate the "ring the bell" humor of this video.
As always thank you so very much for the video.
I’m the Leprechaun!
Cut it out Wayne!
