* ToneShift: Played with. [[TamerAndChaster There is little nudity]] or [[LighterAndSofter even F-word cussing]] in this movie. There was tons of nudity and profanity back in the original ''Leprechaun'' movies. Curiously, there's still plenty of bloody gore and violence, and ''Returns'' maintains the R rating as did the older movies. If anything, this reboot has a lot of bleeding and slicing to a level not present or absent on-screen in the older movies (which operated on a low budget and so on-screen bloodshed might not have been affordable).
* TwistingTheWords: Meredith and Lubdan make a deal: if Meredith sells out everybody else, Lubdan shall not lay a hand on her. Meredith assumes this means Lubdan will spare her life - Lubdan then claims her assumption was wrong, he was being very literal about simply keeping only his hands off of her and [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves stabs her in the mouth with a water sprinkler]].

** There's also a few nods to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crichton_Leprechaun the Crichton Leprechaun newscast]], including Rose theorizing that he's actually a crackhead who got a bad batch.
* HostileHitchhiker: PlayedForLaughs with Lubdan at the end; he holds up a sign saying "BISMARCK OR BUST" waiting for someone to give him a lift. A chicken truck driver comes along and relents to his pleas. Instead of harming the driver, Lubdan just sit and sulks over both his loss of gold and the loud, feathery birds he has to deal with for the remainder of the trip on the back of the pickup.

** Lubdan retains his shoe cleaning compulsion. Except if said shoes are Crocs, in which case he'll put them straight in the trash bin.

** Whether by coincidence or design, the way the leprechaun is killed (a hose shoved in his mouth, something pumped into his body until he explodes) is similar to how Chucky was killed in the second ''Film/ChildsPlay'' movie.
