* BlandNameProduct: Lucky Clovers cereal. Making it even more obvious is that they refer to Lucky Charms in the dialog: "''Fuck you, Lucky Charms''".

---> '''Alex:''' Fuck you, Luck Charms!

''Leprechaun'' is a 1993 horror-comedy film starring Creator/WarwickDavis as the titular character who although not named in the movies is given the off-screen name "Lubdan". A bunch of people go to a rural farmhouse in UsefulNotes/NorthDakota for a holiday and discover not only a pot of gold, but the rightful owner. The leprechaun will kill any who touches his gold, but has a weakness to wrought iron and four-leaf clovers, which cancel out his magic. Despite negative reviews, the film went on to spawn a franchise, currently consisting of seven films (or eight if one counts the [[Film/LeprechaunOrigins much-maligned “reboot”]].)

* BratsWithSlingshots: Alex places the four leaf clover into a wad of gum and then uses his slingshot to defeat the leprechaun.

* EyeScream: Tori pokes leprechaun's right eye out with a police billy club. Then he gouges up a spare from the corpse.

* FillingTheSilence: When Alex sets the bear trap for the leprechaun in the first movie, voice over of him saying "how he's going to get him" is added.

* NoPeripheralVision: When Tori goes to the basement looking for Nathan, both them miss each other despite the small space.

* SealedEvilInACan: The Leprechaun was imprisoned in a crate for decades for ten years until Ozzie knocks the four leaf clover off the crate and accidentally sets him free.

** Finally, 25 years later he escaped the well, and goes after Tori's daughter.

* TeleportationSpam: Done when the leprechaun harasses a cop in thswallow.

%%* ManChild: Ozzie in the first film.

* AnAxeToGrind: When the leprechaun catches Nathan on a beartrap in the first film, he attempts to attack him with an axe.

* TemptingFate: Nathan shoots the Leprechaun at point blank range with a shotgun (after having done so earlier) and says that it's dead, only for it to pop up alive again.

* IronicNurseryTune: Leprechaun is fond of these in the first film.

** Played straight with Nathan firing the shotgun.

* FanService: Some relatively tame fanservice occurs in the original — Tori spends the whole film in short shorts, and a chase scene filmed from The Leprechaun's point of view means we get an extended look at her legs and rear end as she runs.

* PrecisionFStrike: "Fuck you, Lucky Charms!"

* EyeScream: Tori pokes leprechaun's right eye out in the first film. Then he gouges up a spare from a corpse.

* BullyingADragon: [[AssholeVictim A highway cop]] starts being an asshole to the Leprechaun. Lubdan lacerates his face, steals his gun, and ultimately [[CopKiller snaps his neck]].
