* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Aside from Delores managing to shoot the Leprechaun to pieces when he just stands around and lets her do it, not one of the marines manages to successfully shoot ''anything'' during the course of the film. Even the Leprechaun himself has lousy aim, the nearest he gets to a direct hit on any of the marines being hitting a beaker of acid, which then breaks and spills its contents on Tina's leg.

* LegoGenetics: Leprechaun puts a sample of Princess Zarina's blood, a spider and scorpion into a blender, and injects the result into Dr. Mittenhand, who turns into a spider-scorpion mutant with a craving for flesh. Justified in that it was [[RealityWarper the Leprechaun]] who did it.

** Kowalski dies this way - when his team initially believes to have killed the Leprechaun Kowalski goes over and urinates on the remains for fun, unaware that he is now infected with the essence of the Leprechaun, who proceeds to be reborn within Kowalski. Later on when Kowalski is trying to have sex with fellow soldier Delores (Debbe Dunning of ''Series/HomeImprovement'' fame) what they both initially think is just his natural erection slowly becomes painful for him until they literally see something moving inside his pants - he then collapses, legs spread, belt going, pants unzipping as the Leprechaun forces his way out through Kowalski's penis, all while Kowalski screams in agony. Just before Kowalski dies (presumably from blood loss via his ravaged testicles) the Leprechaun quips "Let that be a lesson to ya laddie - always wear a prophylactic!"
