Leprechaun in Space

In space, no one can hear you scream... for your pot of gold! It's the Twenty-First Century, and Houston has a serious problem. The leprechaun with a penchant for all that glitters is back, and this time he has his sights set on a beautiful space princess who loves gold almost as much as he does, and will kill him for it if she has to!

As if that wasn't bad enough, a platoon of space marines has turned up to secure Earth's mining facilities on this distant planet, and before you can say 'Begorah, it's just like Aliens!', a fight to the death commences between the diminuitive Irish stereotype with the lightsaber and these gum-chewing jocks, who want a piece of that gold for themselves.

Join us for a St Patrick's Day like no other as the Cult Film Club  Extreme brings us a night of nineties low-budget movie insanity!

And after the screening the director of this black comedic gold, the Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith will join us to explain just how this sequel came about, and to take your questions!

About The Cult Film Club  EXTREME

The brainchild of film historian Dr Adrian Smith, The Cult Film Club was established in Eastbourne in 2018 following a screening of Evil Dead II at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre. A season of highly entertaining films followed, including such classics as The Warriors, The Man With Two Brains and Enter the Dragon before the club relocated to the Towner Cinema where fans gathered for The Thing, Labyrinth, Heathers and The Dead, before lockdown intervened.

This new EXTREME version of the club sees us bringing a mix of films to the Electric Palace that are shocking, controversial, or just extremely silly. With an emphasis on crowd-pleasing, a good time is guaranteed for all brave enough to join us.
