Bloodless Carnage
 Leprechaun 4: In Space / int_135b9977
comment
Bloodless Carnage: There's next to no actual gore in the film, with the only blood we see being from the Leprechaun and Princess Zarina, and even then it's green and blue respectively. It's best exemplified when the Leprechaun smashes Harold's face with a metal tray; rather than his skull and brains being bloodily scattered over the wall, his face is flattened out Looney Tunes-style, before he falls over, dead.

Fingore: Leprechaun appears to Danny in a safety video mock-up, where he cuts off his left index finger off with scissors. One of Zarina's hands gets blown off early in the film, but soon regenerates itself thanks to her healing abilities.

Fanservice: Princess Zarina flashes her breasts to the cast, and why? Tina herself loses her pants during the film's climax, spending the rest of the film running around in a t-shirt and panties. Books manages to get his shirt off in the final fight.

Jumping on a Grenade: A grenade is accidentally thrown next to Zarina, and the Leprechaun dives onto it to contain the blast. His defeat is short-lived though as he later bursts out from the groin of a marine who pissed on his remains.

LEGO Genetics: Leprechaun puts a sample of Princess Zarina's blood, a spider and a 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 the Leprechaun who did it.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: 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 a lousy aim, the nearest he gets to a direct hit on any of the marines is hitting a beaker of acid, which then breaks and spills its contents on Tina's leg.

Artistic License – Space: Characters are seen smoking in a spaceship in spite of the concentrated, pressurized oxygen inside it (since without it they'd be dead because space does not have oxygen). As a result, smoking should have caused the ship to become a cosmic light show.

comment
Groin Attack: Kowalski dies this way - when his team initially believes to have killed the Leprechaun he 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 tries to have sex with fellow soldier Delores (Debbe Dunning of Home Improvement 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!" Later on in the film, the Leprechaun strikes Dr. Mittenhand's assistant Harold in the crotch after creating the illusion of the film's heroine Tina naked to trick him into opening the door.

Was Once a Man: This happens twice to Dr. Mittenhand. The first time is before the events of the movie, where some nebulously explained experiment leaves him as a head and right arm attached to a life support system. The second time is when the Leprechaun injects him with a mixture of Zarina's blood and liquidized spider, turning Mittenhand into a giant spider monster.
