the 941

We draw this week’s Underappreciated Video from the classic 2000 horror (kind of) flick, Leprechaun in the Hood. If you’ve never encountered the Leprechaun series before (and if you haven’t, you missed a stellar early-career turn from Jennifer Aniston), the movies revolve around a homicidal leprechaun, played by Willow (aka Warwick Davis), who uses all kinds of gory mischief in an effort to get back some inevitably stolen gold. In Leprechaun number five, the unfortunate victims of happen to be a struggling rap group who steal some bling from a local pimp named (creatively enough) Mack Daddy. The Leprechaun goes on his usual killing spree, and even takes some time off for an impromptu hip-hop performance, which brings us to our clip. “From the Emerald Isles to your place in the ‘hood / I’m the man of green come to do no good.” So true. You’ll be trying to get the hook (”Lep in the ‘hood / Come to do no good”) out of your head all weekend:

Note: Thanks to The A.V. Club for the inspiration.
