The Leprechaun charges Nathan in a scene that didn't make it into the movie. Warwick Davis puts a lot of energy into falling on a hard wood floor, and it's quite likely that he isn't wearing any protective padding. His determination and skill in doing falls like this over and over again is pretty amazing. Everybody wants to look at the "dead" Leprechaun. I have several pictures of the skateboarding Leprechaun, but no making-of photos for the scene. The skateboard pictures have a very posed look about them, so it's possible that they were shot later for use as publicity stills. Once again the "floor" is a raised platform that allows the Lep to burst through from underneath.


They had only one fake floor prop, so the scene was shot with several cameras. They speeded up the frames to make it look like the Lep smashed through the floor with a lot of force. The tiny Lep hand is attached to a rather large tube or rod that goes through the back of the phone. Jennifer Aniston uses some padding to stay warm in the Jeep, while the blurry background makes it look like a nun is waving at her. Looks like the crew is providing guidance in a rehearsal of Tory's quick departure.


A crew member in the back of the jeep keeps an eye on the Leprechaun. Preparing for the roller skating scene. There's a lot of padding there to catch the Leprechaun if he falls, but only if he falls in the right place. A Leprechaun stunt double earns a paycheck. Warwick did some of the skating himself, but arm-waving increases the likelihood of an accidental fall and the production couldn't risk its star. The call sheet lists Deep Roy and Susie Rossitto as the Lep doubles for the night, and this must be Susie.


The Leprechaun rolls toward the picket fence, but it's the movie crew lurking nearby that really does the damage. The Leprechaun studies the script before taking on the role of Dan O'Grady.


As Tory runs down the hall, controlled pandemonium is running in front of her. Dan O'Grady gets ready to fall in during the shooting of the elevator scene. Levie Isaacks and Mark Jones share equipment.
