With her title and his beloved gold, he'll be able to rule the universe. While making his maniacal plans, what he doesn't count on is an invading platoon of marines from Earth, to save the princess and foil his plans.

[edit] Analysis
Leprechaun 4: In Space is generally either considered a very bad movie (having a 2.7/10 star rating from 909 voters on IMDb.com) or a movie that is so bad, it's good. The special effects of this movie are quite rudimentary, with the scenes of the spaceship flying looking noticeably less realistic than even most computer games of the time. The plot has practically no exposition, and the acting and dialogue is generally considered quite amateurish. In a very strange twist of character, the Leprechaun actually dives on top of a grenade to protect a person. However, viewed as a work of satire, intentional or not, of the horror B-movie genre, it is quite humorous to many people, and is something of a cult classic.
