Leprechaun Movies: Release Order
The Leprechaun franchise is a cult horror-comedy series that follows the murderous adventures of a malevolent Irish leprechaun (primarily played by Warwick Davis) as he hunts down those who steal his precious gold. While featuring the same character, each film in the series is essentially a standalone story with minimal continuity between entries.
The watch order takes you from the original 1993 film starring a young Jennifer Aniston through increasingly outrageous scenarios including Las Vegas casinos, urban settings, and outer space. The 2014 entry Leprechaun: Origins is a complete reboot that reimagines the character as a more primal, non-speaking creature and does not feature Warwick Davis as the leprechaun.
There is 1 other watch order available – see the link up above.
