In August 2001, a low-priced, downloadable digital version of the Lep in the Hood script dated July 26,1999 went on sale to the public at LockStream. I can't tell if this is some form of the shooting script or if it came from a late stage of pre-production; there's a lot of humor in this script that didn't make it into the movie, including a lot that originated in the Spring 99 script. There are other striking dissimilarites from the movie including additional characters, and some of the events get a much fuller explanation in this script than they do in the movie. Still, it's a lot closer to the movie than the Spring script is. It's impossible to tell how many deletions resulted from script changes and how many from editing decisions.

Unfortunately, this electronic script doesn't seem to be available to the public any longer, so I've typed it up to preserve it and share it with Lep fans everywhere. There are some discontinuities near the end of the script, as if material was accidentally left out when the script was transcribed into digital form.

The lyrics and placement of the Leprechaun rap are very different in this script than they are in the movie; you can see for yourself in Part 2 above. The Spring 99 script has the same lyrics and placement as the July script, but both scripts have accompanying action that is very different from the movie and somewhat different from each other.
