action
Liberation of the princess
A Marine unit led by MSgt. Metal Head Hooker, was led by a Dr. In the middle, the order is given to put a stop to a leprechaun who is up to mischief in the solar system . On a small planet in his cave, which is made entirely of stolen gold, he captured the princess Zarina, whom he wants to marry in order to become the king of her planet. He persuades her by offering to share his gold with her. When the marines find the cave, they kill the leprechaun with a grenade and take the princess with them. However, one of them makes the mistake of peeing on his remains, which is why he somehow invades the soldier's body. Back on the ship, the leprechaun kills him during intercourse and slips out of his penis .
On the ship
Now that the leprechaun is free again, he really wants to find the princess. But the devious Dr. Mittenhand, owner of the ship and employer of the Marines, holds the princess prisoner in his laboratory . He wants to use her regenerating DNA to restore his disfigured body. After the leprechaun had to walk over numerous corpses, he finally made it to the laboratory and cut off Harold, Mittenhand's assistant, with his laser sword . The leprechaun is stabbed by Harold, whereupon he simply pulls the knife out again. As soon as Harold is killed, he wakes Zarina with a kiss and injects the Doctor with her DNA. However, he mixes it beforehand with the DNA of a tarantula and that of a scorpion , whereupon Mittenhand mutates into a monster and from now on is called the Mittenspider . The leprechaun activates the ship's self-destruction, but instead of flying away on a shuttle , he and the princess go in search of his gold. When he arrives in the storeroom, he faints Zarina because of an argument and leaves her behind. She is found by the marines, who accidentally zoom in on the leprechaun with a beam. You quickly run out of the room and open the gate into space, through which the giant leprechaun is sucked and then explodes. The marines go with the princess on the shuttle and save themselves before the ship with Dr. Center spider explodes.
Reviews
"A science fiction film prepared with stupid sayings and pubescent jokes that exhausts itself in an unimaginative number revue of brutalities and disgusting effects and indulges in a" happy sadism "."
“(…) Compared to the first part, this film is a lot less scary, but it has some really fun scenes. (...) The effects are kept quite inexpensive. (...) All in all, a very entertaining flick, if you can see that it is just a low budget product. "
