Is Leprechaun The Pot Of Gold That Mista GG & Amanda The Jedi Hoped For? | Camp Counselors Ep 5

I saw the title and thought this was going to be about Leprechaun in the hood, which is obviously a cinematic wonder.

[@zacharyzurawski5516]

This leprechaun shoe thing is interesting. In some cases leprechaun are portrayed as cobblers by trade. In others they are often seen repairing their shoes from wearing them out running around playing pranks. Some lore says that when they are repairing their shoes is the best time to catch them for their blessing. My guess is since leprechauns are generally considered fairies and fairies have weird weaknesses (like having to count every grain if something spills) so they probably combined those concepts into him being a fairy who compulsively has to repair shoes.

GG and Amanda are my favorite combo. Love seeing these guys work together on stuff. Been a fan of both creators for a while.

[@evenmorebutter5934]

they are great!

[@satrok7490]

The reason Warwick Davis wasn't in origins is because they changed the character to more of a mindless monster like the cave creature in the movie "the descent" and because after 2003 when he had children he said he relooked at how he took roles and plans on going back to horror when his son turns 18. His son was 14 or 15 when leprechaun returns came out in 2018

[@cooki3monstrrr]

These just keep getting better & better! Leprechaun didn't scare me, but I think in one of the sequels he cuts someone's ankle from under a car & that stayed with me 👀 Suggestion: Mars Attacks!

[@darkydoom]

Talking about horror, and the thirteen ghosts chop in half, just reminded me of my dream last night. I was being chomped on by a HUMAN! not even a zombie! And I was stuck in the pain and horror and sensation of feeling it and screaming for WAY TOO LONG before waking up and shivering uncontrollably until I could calm down. No horror movie is as bad as a realistic dream

[@leslienope]

My brother and I watched this movie a LOT when I was very young and I just recently rewatched it for the first time in at least 20 years. I still love it and think the ridiculousness is what makes it funny. It was originally going to be a more lighthearted movie closer to like Gremlins, but then they took it down a bit of a different route, so that may be where a disconnect comes in for some people. When it came out on VHS there was a "Luck of the Irish" contest (you can find the commercial for it here on YT) and one of the prizes was a unique leprechaun doll/figure, of which only 200 were made. My brother didn't win one in the contest but 20 years after that, he found one in a pile of random toys at a flea market and bought it for like $5 so in a way that was even more lucky than winning the contest.

[@sauce-a4787]

I would love if you did like a "where thirteen ghosts went wrong" video. I agree the plot is trash but the action and visuals are great I think.

To me it went wrong in the marketing. It’s not more comedy, the heart of it is the ghosts themselves… yet the only big focus is in an extra bonus feature.

But is it better than Troll? Do Critters! 😁

[@ashv9565]

So Lucky Charms had originally agreed that the film could use its cereal and brand in the film. But then they watched it and it's dogshit. So they revoked permission because they didn't want the association. This forced the filmmakers to do reshoots to take the cereal box out. The filmmakers were super irritated by this, huge waste of money (i don't remember if it sent them over budget). So they added in the line at the end "Fuck you Lucky Charms."

To be quit honestly these are the type of movies where you can just turn your brain off and not think at all the sequels just prove that because no continuity and just camp and thats the best part about it i.e. I love me some campy media sometimes like I knew what it was after I rewatched this one and in the hood like 3 years ago both were my intros to this series by the way like I knew what it was from that point out like has anyone ever even seen zombie fly girls that's how I knew the whole series was looking to be down right ignorant in a way like I know they are all bad in a way but there fun what can I say😊

[@fmkalross8296]

I fully appreciate you sharing your opinions and experience, and i really appreciate Mike trying to talk about the positive things, but I hate when you act like your opinion is right. "I think some of you are blinded by nostalgia." Amanda said it best when she described it as Baby's First Horror. Its a goosebumps episode. It's meant for people who want to watch horror movies with the lights on. It's similar to Gremlins in that way. And the fact that you dont find it funny or scary enough doesn't automatically mean people who enjoy it are blinded by nostalgia, it means you're either unwilling or incapable of empathizing with the audience at the time. I'm sure you'd also hate Critters, so please don't bother yourself with ruining that too. Not everything from the 80s and 90s needs to be looked at with 2020's eyes. It's like you're eating pixy sticks and complaining they have no nutritional value. And just to compare, Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play had heavy themes and actually tried to make quality psychological thrillers with moments of comedy/camp/horror. Leprechaun is not that. Stop comparing stories about children who are/were being abused and the parents who dont believe them - with the story of an evil Leprechaun. It's like comparing the People Under The Stairs to the Garbage Pail Kids just bc they're both found in the horror aisle.

Looking at the box office for movies like this isn't really where they made a ton of money. B horror movies made tons of money in the days of VHS rental. Distributors sold VHS copies for high prices to rental stores and horror movies always made their money back for the stores so every store bought basically all of them.
