Visible crew/equipment: When the shop owner looks through the book for information about the gold coin, he hears the bike bell and when he walks toward the stairs, the crew's solid brown rug is visible on the blue floor - note its edges in front of the white bookcase. It is also seen when he walks back to the safe the second time. That rug is gone in all other shots. (This has nothing to do with the large patterned Asian-style area rug.) (00:35:45)
Visible crew/equipment: Some equipment is reflected in the window of the cop car as it pulls out to chase the leprechaun. [It's a reflector screen.] (00:38:00)
Continuity mistake: When Nathan is putting meatloaf on his plate for Tori, the amount of meatloaf on the plate suddenly increases between shots. (00:43:20)
Continuity mistake: When the guys walk into the kitchen to find it very messy, with rubbish all over the floor, the wall with the phone on it has nothing against it, but in the next shot, a red broom is leaning against the wall. (00:46:05 - 00:47:10)
Revealing mistake: The 'bear trap' clearly has no spikes in it, so how could it have wounded Nathan. This is ever so clear when Tori prises the bear trap open to get his leg out, and it snaps back. (00:52:00)
Revealing mistake: Sometimes the Leprechauns stunt double is apparent. (00:52:00)
Continuity mistake: During a fight scene with the Leprechaun you can see a very noticeable difference in height between Warwick Davis (Leprechaun), and his stunt double. (00:52:20)
Continuity mistake: When Alex gets out the van to go fix the distributor cap, how far wound up the window is differs from shot to shot. (00:54:35)
Visible crew/equipment: When the Leprechaun is riding the cart with the pitchfork on it, as the pitchfork rams into the side of the van, on the left you can see the clear shadow of a camera on a crane and crew. (00:56:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Tori goes to the well to give the Leprechaun his sack of gold, the Leprechaun levitates the sack of gold from Tori's hand, and the wire making the bag 'float' is visible. (01:02:20)
Audio problem: After giving the Leprechaun his sack of gold by the well, Tori runs back to the house and screams cries of terror, yet her mouth is clearly shut. (01:02:55)
Continuity mistake: During the scenes in the kitchen near the end, such as when Tori answers the phone to the Leprechaun, the magnets on fridge move, appear, disappear etc. (01:04:05)
Continuity mistake: When Nathan shoots the leprechaun after he entered out through the chimney, the leprechaun lies in different positions between shots. (01:05:30)
Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, when the people are in the house fighting the Leprechaun, one of the characters is using a shotgun. The Leprechaun rides up and down a hallway on a skateboard and the character with the shotgun shoots at him, missing not only the Leprechaun, but everything else as well. Unless he was using a round full of confetti that I've never heard of, he should be shooting the wall and everything else in sight, yet nothing at all is hit. (01:06:50)
Revealing mistake: The clover patch is obviously just a green light being shone on the dirt. (01:16:15)
Continuity mistake: After Nathan pours the gasoline and throws the match in the well, we see a canister and shotgun sitting by well. But when the well explodes, they've disappeared. (01:23:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When the well explodes, in one wide long shot, you can see wires trailed along the grass, used for the stunt. (01:23:55)
Continuity mistake: Officer Tripet gets tired of running and he slumps down against a tree. His places his left arm up on the trunk and it slides down so that now his hand is down atop his knee. The shot changes to his front and now the hand and arm are back up on the tree trunk above his shoulder.
Revealing mistake: When Tori and others are fighting the leprechaun in the kitchen the wall phone rings and she picks up the hand set. It's the leprechaun on the line and in fear and anger, she slams the hand set back in place and tears the entire phone off the wall. As the phone rips away, it's obvious there is no phone line connector on the wall, only a nail the phone was hanging on.
Visible crew/equipment: The Leprechaun is on roller skates heading towards the white picket fence. As he gets close while the shot is over his shoulder, his shadow is cast on to the fence at the left edge of the screen. Problem is, a crew members shadow is right next to him for a split second right before the camera angle changes and he smashes into the fence.
