Summaries

Our deadly leprechaun is in space to woo a beautiful princess who is impressed with his gold and desires to separate him from it.

On a distant planet, a power hungry Leprechaun kidnaps a Dominian princess, Princess Zarina, and plans to make himself king, but not if a bumbling brigade of space marines have anything to say about it. Their commander is a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Mittenhand, who's half machine thanks to one of his "experiments". Once on the planet, Leprechaun is blown up, but quickly is reborn through one of the marines (ala Alien) and wreaks havoc aboard the ship, meanwhile Dr. Mittenhand plans to use the princess for his experiments to make himself whole again. But now, after many of the marines are killed, Leprechaun turns Dr. Mittenhand into a grotesque monster and plans to blow up the ship. The remaining marines have to stop his evil plans and blow *him* up.—Dylan Self <[email protected]>

A group of mercenaries commanded by Metal Head, whose skull was partially rebuilt in metal, is hired by the insane scientist Dr. Mittenhand to destroy an alien (Leprechaun). He also sends the biologist Dr. Tina Reeves to join the team to study the remains of the "alien". Metal Head assigns Sgt. Books to protect her. Meanwhile, the Leprechaun is on a planet after abducting the Dominian Princess Zarina, expecting to marry her and become a king. He uses his gold to convince the ambitious princess that he is a catch. The soldiers arrive on the planet, blow him up and bring his remains on board, together with his gold and the wounded Princess Zarina. Out of the blue, Leprechaun returns through the sex of the soldier Kowalski and starts a crime spree on board looking for his gold.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

It's the 21st century. A group of U.S. Marines battle in space to destroy a space monster, when they get in the way of the Leprechaun who is in space to marry a princess so he can become ruler of the planet Dominia. They think they have killed the Leprechaun - wrong. The Leprechaun goes on board their space station to find the princess they have taken from him, where he'll kill to get her back.—Jason Mechalek

Synopsis

The Leprechaun is on a desolate planet attempting to court a princess named Zarina, whom he has kidnapped in a plot to marry her, then murder her father in order to become king of her home planet, Dominia. A group of space marines attack and the Leprechaun kills one of the marines, Lucky, with a lightsaber. When another marine, Kowalski, throws a grenade and it lands near Zarina, the Leprechaun jumps in the way, and, though Zarina is saved, the explosion of the bomb kills the Leprechaun and causes Zarina to lose a hand. While the rest of the crew attend to Zarina, Kowalski urinates on the Leprechaun's decapitated head.

The marines return to their ship with Zarina, where their leader, the half-robotic Dr. Mittenhand, explains that the princess has regenerative powers (she regenerates a hand she lost) and his plans to use Zarina's DNA to recreate his own mutilated body. Elsewhere on the ship, the Leprechaun violently emerges from Kowalski's penis when he attempts to have sex with another marine, Dolores, killing him in an incredibly painful and humiliating manner (and leaving the remains of his penis in torn shreds). The Leprechaun then kills most of the crew members in various gruesome and absurd ways. He finds Zarina in Dr. Mittenhand's laboratory, making his way in by assuming the image of a completely naked Doctor Tina Reeves, and injects the doctor with a mixture of his intended bride's DNA and the remains of a scorpion and a tarantula, and initiates the ship's self-destruct mechanism. A surviving marine, Sticks, rushes to the bridge to defuse the self-destruct but he is stopped by a password prompt. The other survivors, Sergeant Books Malloy and Tina, confront the Leprechaun in the cargo bay, who grows to many times his own size after being exposed to Dr. Mittenhand's experimental enlargement ray. Tina crawls through the air ducts, where her red pants get torn off by Dr. Mittenhand. Tina spends the remainder of the film in a T-shirt and black panties, much to her sexual humiliation.

Sticks is attacked and tangled in webs by the now mutated and deformed Dr. Mittenhand, who has taken the shape of a giant spider-like creature. Tina sprays the doctor with liquid nitrogen from a hose and then shoots him, shattering his body. Books avoids the giant Leprechaun and opens the airlock so the villain is sucked out into space and explodes while Zarina watches in glee. Books joins the others at the helm, and they discover that the password is "Wizard," since Dr. Mittenhand previously referred to himself as "the wizard behind the curtain," stopping the self-destruct with only seconds to spare. The three rejoice and Books and Tina kiss as the spaceship flies past the remains of the giant Leprechaun's body. They fly past his fist, clenched with middle finger extended.
