* PopCultureUrbanLegends: It's CommonKnowledge that the "Fuck you, Lucky Charms!" line was a TakeThat at General Mills for refusing to license the use of Lucky Charms in the movie. Mark Jones denies this, indicating that the line was always in the script as what else would you say to a Leprechaun?

** In a way the writer of this (and his other films) do have a pattern. A weird "creature", teen characters, supernatural adventures, on/off sense of continuity, lots of verbal banter. What's this all mean? Turns out Mark Jones, the writer, was also a writer for Creator/HannaBarbera and Creator/RubySpears for many years. It will be quite hard to unsee the influence once you do.

In that way, it was a GatewaySeries for horror movies.
