''Leprechaun'' is a 1993 cult American horror comedy film written and directed by Mark Jones. It stars Warwick Davis in the title role and Jennifer Aniston in her film debut. The film was shot in Saugus, Santa Clarita, California. ==Plot== In 1983, Daniel O'Grady returns home from a trip to Ireland to tell his wife he has captured a leprechaun and thus acquired his pot of gold. Unknown to him, the evil leprechaun stows away in a suitcase and kills his wife. After burying the gold, O'Grady discovers the leprechaun and attempts to kill it with a four-leaf clover. He traps the leprechaun inside a crate and attempts to burn it and the house to the ground, but he suffers a stroke. Ten years later, J. D. Redding and his teenage daughter Tory rent the O'Grady farmhouse for the summer when they meet Nathan Murphy, his little brother Alex, and their dimwitted friend Ozzie Jones, who are re-painting the farmhouse. Ozzie is looking around the basement when he hears the leprechaun's cry for help, mistaking him for a little child. He brushes the old four-leaf clover off the crate, freeing the leprechaun. After unsuccessfully trying to convince the others that he met a leprechaun, Ozzie spots a rainbow and chases it, believing that there will be a pot of gold at the end. Alex accompanies him for fear Ozzie might hurt himself. A bag of one hundred gold pieces magically appears. After Ozzie tests the gold and accidentally swallows a piece, they plot to keep it for themselves, hoping to fix Ozzie's brain. The leprechaun lures J. D. into a trap by imitating a cat, biting and injuring his hand. Tory and the others rush him to the hospital, and the leprechaun follows on a tricycle. Alex and Ozzie visit a pawn shop to see if the gold is pure while Nathan and Tory are out. The leprechaun attacks the pawn shop owner, killing him by crushing his chest with a pogo stick. After terrorizing and killing a policeman, the leprechaun returns to the farmhouse, where he searches for his gold and shines every shoe. Everyone but J. D. returns home. Finding the house ransacked, Nathan checks outside, where he is injured by a bear trap set up by the leprechaun. After shooting the leprechaun several times, they attempt to flee the farmhouse, but the truck has been sabotaged by the leprechaun. After ramming the truck with his specially-made car, the leprechaun terrorizes the gang until Ozzie reveals that he and Alex found the pot of gold. Tory recovers the bag from the old well, and gives it to the Leprechaun. Believing the worst to be over, they leave for the hospital. While counting his gold, the leprechaun discovers that he is missing the gold piece Ozzie swallowed. Thinking that they have tricked him, he terrorizes them until Ozzie tells them about O'Grady, who was taken to a nursing home after his stroke. Tory visits the home to find out how to kill the leprechaun. At the nursing home, the leprechaun pretends to be O'Grady and chases Tory to the elevator. Tory escapes, while the bloodied body of O'Grady crashes through. Before dying, O'Grady tells her that the only way to kill the leprechaun is with a four-leaf clover. Tory returns home and searches for a clover until she is chased by the leprechaun, who almost kills her; Nathan and Ozzie save her. Alex sets a trap, but the leprechaun nearly kills him. Ozzie tells him that he swallowed the last gold coin and is critically wounded by the leprechaun. Before the leprechaun can kill Ozzie, Alex takes the four-leaf clover from Tory, sticks it to a wad of gum and shoots it into the leprechaun's mouth, taking away his power. As the leprechaun's skeleton appears out of the well, Nathan hits him down and pours gas inside the well, blowing up the well and killing the leprechaun. The police arrive, and Tory is reunited with her father. As the police investigate the remains of the well, the leprechaun vows he will not rest until he recovers every last piece of his gold. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leprechaun (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
