Leprechaun (1993) When Dan OGrady returns to the U.S. after stealing some Irish leprechauns pot of gold, he thinks he can settle down and enjoy his newfound wealth. He thought wrong.

By accident, the leprechaun is released and almost immediately the annoying creature starts to look for his gold, not displaying any respect for human life.
