But really, a Banshee? From old Ireland? Long red hair and pale skin? Cries before a coming death? Whoopee Goldberg?Īll in all, buy the movie, pop some popcorn and enjoy. Not that she doesn't do a nice acting job, she does. But Whoopee Goldberg as the Grand Banshee is a huge, huge stretch. Randy Quaid as the American would not have been my first choice or fifth choice, but surprising pulls it off, if no John Wayne. Colm Meaney (Star Trek NG) as the Leprechaun leader and his wife Zoë Wanamaker (My Family) were spot on and Orla Brady did very well in the female lead.Īll that said, in my estimation, the male lead and the Grand Banshee are 2 characters that were seriously miscast. A phenomenal portrayal of Romeo and Juliet with a twist. This epic tale of the struggles and events others go through to stand up for what they believe in is extroidonary. Even the Fairy wings and flying was nicely handled. The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns is a all around great movie.It inspires the imagination to think of all supernatural phenomenon. The scenes of the diminutive Leprechauns and the Trooper Fairies could have easily come off cheesy but didn’t. In a definite Romeo & Juliet take-off, the Fairy princess and a young Leprechaun lad fall in love, the families start a war and difficulties ensue and are overcome and a happy ending is enjoyed by all. He also finds a family of Leprechauns already living in the cottage and learns there are 2 local fairy peoples, the Leprechauns and the Trooping Fairies, who don’t get along (Leprechauns being too mischievous and the Fairies too workaholic). Soon he finds a local girl that he falls in love with, has difficulties with her family and even manages to enter a horse race. Like The Quiet Man an American comes to Ireland to visit and moves into a lovely little country cottage.
The magical legend of the leprechauns movie#
This movie is a cross between The Quiet Man & Romeo and Juliet.
Wonderful scenery and light-hearted script, Leprechauns and Fairies makes this movie well worth watching.
