Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003) 
This sixth installment of the Leprechaun franchise has a group of poor twenty-somethings from "tha Hood" finding the Leprechaun's gold under a building site. They spend the gold and try to work out their relationships while the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) kills anyone between him and his coins.
Quick Review: Six Leprechaun movies. I never thought when I saw the first that there would be five sequels. I have to admit, that in the Slasher sub-genre, I'm partial to this series, more than it deserves (hey, I like Leprechauns). The killer has personality and humor and being played by Warwick Davis is a huge plus. Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood is an uninspired entry, with the Leprechaun devoid of any powers other than invulnerability. The gore quotient is low, the victims uninteresting (although there is a touch of character development), and there's a half hour before the green guy even pops up (after a brief prolog). When he does show up, it is just to stalk the "thieves" and kill them, and smoke a bit of pot. That makes it a pretty average Slasher with a better than average monster.
