Well hey there, you look like someone who loves terrible movies! Leprechaun 3 is definitely terrible, but is it good anyway? LET'S FIND OUT. Just kidding, it's not.

Ok let me at least give you a reason why it's bad. How about the acting from the main character guy? His Irish accent is so stupid and bad that it's kind of annoying. He also acts like he's never been in a movie before, which may be true in this case. A fun fact about him is that he went on to be a writer and producer on some real movies. Like, this guy wrote Kong Skull Island. I don't get it. The limericks (I guess?) that they have in this are even worse than part 2. They're so forced and unfunny, it's kind of hard to believe. 

The story of this is basically the same when you get down to it. Someone steals a shilling and he gets mad, then kills people over it. Oh, and people make bad wishes in the meantime. I guess we're fortunate that there's no weird love story thing happening between the leprechaun and a human in this one. DON'T WORRY, PART FOUR HAS ONE OF THOSE AGAIN YOU SICK FREAK. 

It's not ALL bad though. The two casino .. mob? guys are pretty funny. Also the casino owner, even if he's sleazy. Also the main girl is really pretty and she's probably one of the better actors in this. ALSO you have Stretch from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, but she looks gross. At one point she wishes to be hot again and they give her a young boy's haircut. The 90s were a weird time.

They placed this movie in Vegas to spend most of it in some cheesy pawn shop and a "casino" hotel. There's really not much in terms of VEGAS happening, aside from a really bizarre Elvis impersonator appearance early on.

Recommended?

No, but if you like bad horror movies you might like this one. It's probably the best Leprechaun movie but that's not really saying much.
