Three words sum up what's wrong with this movie, Joe Don Baker. Serously, what the hell was that? It's like a bad version of Dr Dolittle made by acid heads. I actually saw this movie in the theater as a child and even at the tender age of 6 asked my Mom if we could leave and began crying when we didn't. This movie sucks!

Bill Cosby must have lost some kind of bet with Satan to end up making a film as mind-meltingly dreadful as "Leonard Part 6". A stupefyingly unfunny, self-indulgent mess of a film that will have you wanting to tare your skin off with your fingernails just so you'll have something else to do.
Leonard Part 6
jboothmillard31 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I had always heard about this film for the leading star, who I knew from The Cosby Show, and I knew it is considered one of the worst films ever made, I had to know why, from Razzie nominated director Paul Weiland (Mr. Bean, City Slickers: The Legend of Curly's Gold, Blackadder: Back and Forth, Made of Honour). Basically Leonard Parker (Razzie winning Bill Cosby) is a former CIA spy who quit the agency following the separation from his wife Allison Parker (Dallas's Pat Colbert) seven years ago, she refuses to speak with him, and his daughter Joan (Dumb and Dumber's Victoria Rowell) is dating a much older man, Leonard is now a restaurateur. The government call Leonard in to be re-recruited for a mission to save the world, many normally friendly animals have been taken captive and hypnotised to becoming killing machines, they have been brainwashed by evil vegetarian Medusa Johnson (Razzie nominated Gloria Foster) who wants to take over the world. While preparing to face Medusa and her army of warped animals and vegetarians, whose only weakness is raw meat, including getting some gadgets and information from his boss Nick Snyderburn (Joe Don Baker), Leonard makes an effort to try and reconnect with his wife over dinner. Leonard is armoured with his special secret agent suit and ready to face the villains, in the end he defeats the many vegetarians, frees the animals and his kidnapped wife, destroys the mind controlling machine, Medusa is defeated and Leonard is finally able to reunite with his wife and get away from the spy world. Also starring Tom Courtenay as Frayn, Moses Gunn as Giorgio Francozzi, David Maier as Man Ray, Grace Zabriskie as Jefferson and Jane Fonda makes a cameo in a spoof of one of her exercise videos. I should add, the title refers to the idea that this is the sixth instalment to a series of films featuring the adventures of Leonard, with the other five parts hidden away for security purposes, and also, when I watched this, it was while Cosby was being accused of sexual assault by various women. Cosby is daft as the secret agent with stupid abilities and skills, and Foster is rather ridiculous as the power-hungry herbivorous bitch, the problem is not just that the film is full of ridiculous moments that are apparently meant to make you laugh, like infiltrating a building while dancing ballet, and escaping an exploding building on an ostrich, the story both ludicrous and boring James Bond, it's just an unfunny and unwatchable comedy. It won the Razzies for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay, and it was nominated for Worst 'Comedy' of Our First 25 Years. Poor!
Betrayal & Redemption
MonkPlaya9 April 2004
I saw this pus-filled boil on Cosby's rump while on vacation in Florida as a kid. I asked to see it - How was I to know? - I was only 6 years old. I think it was being shown at a theater at Universal Studios, and it had been a long, hot day of walking. Hell, I was glad just to be off my feet and out of the sun...that is, until the movie began.
I was confused from the start, thinking I must have missed a lot in the first 5 parts. But I thought it's gotta get better, Bill Cosby wouldn't allow this garbage to be shown to millions of kids like me as "entertainment" unless there was something funny in it. Then the meat patties - I don't remember much about the movie, I've left the nightmares in my past, but I can still remember how I nearly wretched at this grisly mess of a scene. It was no longer worth being in a comfy theater with AC, it was more like being in agony, trapped by a 6-yr. old kid's optimism that "Mr. Huxable" would be funny! Never happened.
An utter horror of a movie! It ruined a little kid's day, and I'm sure it ruined many others'. When I found out from my folks soon after that Bill Cosby himself had told people not to see it, I was hurt and betrayed. I have since gotten over it, so LP6 is purged from my nightmares, and I applauded Cos for removing this celluloid pollution from our airwaves. Redemption at last.

Saw them make the film: Not fun. Watched the film: Not good.

This film was made nearby where I lived in 1986. Many residents had to put up with trailers on the street and generators running into all hours of the evening. We did however, get to see Cosby shoot a scene, so that was fun.
When it came time to see his creation, the disappointment was even greater having expected at least something of fair value. The film is disjointed, as if the writer quit in the middle. The relationship between Cosby - a master spy living in an enormous house - and his unhappy wife (who lives in the enormous house next door, which is supposed to be a funny circumstance) took time to develop. Then it was immediately lost in some mad-cap chase scenes in a warehouse.
There is nothing interesting about this film. There must be a story behind how it got made. Cosby is a man of talent, but this film showed none.

Paul Weiland, who directed City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold was, of course, the perfect person to make a James Bond spoof starring Bill Cosby. This is also supposed to be the sixth movie in a series of films where they never made any other ones. People never like that - ask Buckaroo Banzai.
Weiland would one day tell The Guardian, "It was a terrible mistake. ... When anyone gets into that position (Bill Cosby's position of power in the 1980s), they are surrounded by sycophants and no one tells them the truth. But Cosby just wasn't funny. I couldn't tell him directly. I'd say it feels slow, and he'd say, "You worry about construction, let me worry about funny.""
Leonard Parker (America's dad at one point, Bill Cosby) is out of retirement and battling Medusa Johnson and her army of vegetarians. Joe Don Baker plays his boss, a similar role that he would play in the Bond films.
When the film was released, Cosby himself said that he was so disappointed with it that he publicly advised people not to waste their money on it. The dude wrote and produced it. He should know better. The Coke product placement is also near-constant, which upset so many people.
Cosby accepted his three Razzies - worst actor, worst screenplay and worst picture - on Fox's The Late Show. I love that he had the ego to demand that the three Razzies he earned be specifically made out of 24 karat (99.99%) gold and Italian marble, which Fox paid for. Maybe he could have used the sizable money he made as an advance on this movie instead of taking more for so very little.
At least one person moved on from this to do something better. Cinematographer Jan de Bont would go on to direct Speed, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Twister and The Haunting. We won't discuss Speed 2.

Worse Than Worse
Bolesroor17 September 2008
I love the IMDb but I've noticed a very sad trend... seems like users here feel they have to defend truly terrible movies. Just look at the user reviews for "Hudson Hawk" or "Ishtar" and you'll see titles like "Not As Bad As They Say," "Under-Rated Classic," and the offensive "I LOVE This Movie."
Grow up! It's not a good idea to rescue trash cinema from the dumpster. Let's be adults and let films like "Leonard, Part 6" get the treatment they deserve. And oh how this film deserves a lot of treatment... "Leonard" is a movie with no redeeming value. Bill Cosby stars as a secret agent who has to save the world from an evil woman who blah blah blah... why bother? The movie tries to be an action film while simultaneously spoofing action films. (Schwarzenegger would later fail at this with the nauseating "Last Action Hero") What we're left with is a mess of a movie and Cosby- one of the all-time great comedians- can't even get one genuine laugh out of the deal. I have a passion for bad movies- B-Movies, exploitation flicks, horror films, you name it- but this movie lacks the impact to even be bad. It's just stupid.
How stupid? At the time of the film's release Cosby himself went on TV and asked people NOT to see the movie because it was so bad. I cannot think of a single instance in the history of Hollywood where an actor- or anyone- has done ANTI-publicity for a movie. Bill said this because he cares and he wanted to save you time and money.
So do I. While it might be tempting to listen to the revisionist reviewers who want to impress you with their outrageous opinion and 10-star ratings sometimes its better to just turn the page. Now let's all go someplace else and do something different and forget we were ever here.

Bad, bad, baad
tomimt13 June 2004
There are bad movies like the ones Ed wood used to make and there are bad movies like "Leonard part 6".
Now the difference between these two groups is, that when you watch Ed Wood movies you can laugh at the fact how serious he was. But with this supposed to be comedy you are just dazed at the fact how shamelessly this movie has been made relying only on the 80's comedy icon Bill Cosby.
I can see how the script of this agent parody might have looked funny, with all the James Bond jokes it has, but somewhere in the making everyone just forgot to do their jobs properly, thus ending up with this pile of totally unfunny crap.
As stated nothing works, special effects are bad and they probably looked outdated the year this movie came out. Actors are bored and they don't even try and same can be said of director Paul Weiland.
Avoid if you can.

Worst Movie of 1987 along with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie
GravityLoudHouseLover124 April 2017
Leonard Part 6 is a 1987 Spy Comedy Staring Bill Cosby & Directed By. Paul Weiland. The Movie was Panned by Critics (Especially Siskel & Ebert) & The Movie was even disowned by Bill Cosby Himself. The Movie is About Leonard Parker (Bill Cosby) who is a retried Secret Agent who owns a Restaurant. The Movie has Horrid Acting & weird scenes. Like there this one scene were Leonard & his Wife are tied up Leonard uses Melted Butter too free himself & his Wife from the lobsters. There are also Product Placement in this movie Like the Coke Scene where Leonard is talking to this old guy that his daughter is going to Marry him & he wants to talk to him but he tells his daughter he wants sandwich & a bottle of Coke. I didn't know much about this movie until I watched the Siskel & Ebert Worst of 1987 Video, Emer Prevost's Review & I Hate Everything's Review. Anyway This Movie is one Worst Movies of 1987 along The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. 1/10
Why did Cosby make this?
jhaggardjr23 May 2000
Back in 1987, Bill Cosby was the king of comedy on television. His '80s sitcom "The Cosby Show" was the #1 TV show in America. So one question still puzzles me today. During his time away from the show, why did he produce, wrote the original story to, and star in "Leonard Part 6"? This movie is totally inept from beginning to end. No laughs. No excitement. No fun. Just 85 minutes of 100% ineptitude. Forget about it!
No stars (out of four)

You can't help but cry.
This film is awful. I found NOTHING redeeming about it, not on a camp level, not even on a comatose level.
You'd just expect more from the talented Bill Cosby, and wonder with all the projects out there, why he chose this crap to be a part of.
He should have just collected all the money and donated it to a charity -- or the R & D Department over at JELLO. The money would have went to a better cause.

Not As Bad As Ghost Dad
domino100314 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
During the 80's, Bill Cosby was pretty much on top of the world with his hit television comedy, "The Cosby Show." And people thought that he could do no wrong. However, he made 2 films that showed the world that can make bad judgment calls. One of them was "Leonard, Part 6." To be fair, I actually liked this film a lot better than the incredibly horrible "Ghost Dad" (The 2nd film). It is not a perfect film, but it has it's moments.
There's a plot by the evil Medusa (Gloria Foster) to control the Bay Area by means of animals. You see a fish attacking a guy in a pool, a group of frogs that somehow manage to lift a car and have it thrown in the bay. Yes, this is for real here. The world needs to be saved, and the government agency in charge knows who can help: Leonard Parker (Cosby).
Unfortunately, Leonard is retired and doesn't want to get back into the spy game, which has wrecked his marriage to Allison (Pat Colbert),who dumps food on him. Plus, his daughter Joan (Victoria Rowell)is engaged to marry the director of her play. Problem with that is that he is old enough to collect social security. Pulled back into the spy game, Leonard, along with his trusty butler Frayn (Tom Courtenay), tries to stop Medusa from completing her plan.
As I said before, this is not a perfect film. It defies logic and common sense (He escapes one situation by riding an ostrich, which jumps off a building!). But the film is so bad that you can't help but laugh at what ends up on screen. And what's with all of the product placements? I guess the powers that be at the studio figured that using the product placements would make up for all the money that they wasted on the film.

What a dud!
gridoon20 January 2002
A complete dud. Stuck with a stupid script and in the middle of moronic proceedings, Bill Cosby looks utterly bored and desperate. This is the type of film that has NOTHING redeeming about it, and even thinking about it for a minute longer than its running time is a real waste of effort. Worthless. (*)
What was the Cos thinking?
Gislef17 August 1998
This movie fails on every level possible: as a spy movie, as a parody of a spy movie, as a Cosby feature film, as a piece of entertainment. I have no idea what they were trying to do here, but the result is _not_ a pretty picture.

Melted butter......
FlashCallahan29 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
After separating from his wife, Leonard quit the spy business and became a restaurateur.
His wife refuses to speak with him, and his daughter has begun dating a man old enough to be his father.
On top of it all, the government has asked him to come back and save the world again.
Medusa Johnson has hypnotised animals into doing her bidding, and plans to use them to take over the world.
It's up to Leonard to save the world, as only he can battle her Vegetarians and killer animals.
It's a bad film by all means, it makes no sense to have three of the stand out scenes of this movie right at the beginning, but they do, and if you really lower your expectations, you will find some strange kitsch gem in this mess.
It's not funny, and Cosby is in almost every scene, it's a vanity project for him, someone who was the most famous face on US TV at the time, and his ego told him he could do the same in movie, albeit with a really strange title you won't get unless you see the film, and killer frogs and lobsters.
But there is something about this movie, that would make me want to watch it again. It's never boring, I'll give Cosby that, and he is likable in a strange way, it's just that the main story arc of the movie involving the killer animals, pales in comparison to scenes and connotation to his personal life and him trying to get his wife back, which is entertaining.
So the main story is pap and dull, save for the Bullfrog scene, and the final third is barking mad beyond belief. Melted Butter and raw Hamburgers are literally used as weapons, and a mans head explodes because he bites into a frankfurter.
Its an unmitigated disaster on all accounts, and it's one of the most abhorrent things I've seen in a while, it would have never found an audience, but it's never boring, and it's not on for too long either.
See it, just to experience it

This Film Belongs in the "6th" Level of Cinematic Hell
tfrizzell12 October 2001
"Leonard Part 6". Not even the title makes any sense. There were never five before it (thank goodness) and there would be no sequel to this bomb of epic proportions. Bill Cosby took some time during his television show in the mid-1980s to make this film that sported a rather large budget, but little else. Cosby stars as a secret agent who is trying to stop a mad-woman from ruling the world. Vegetarians protect the mastermind and Cosby's primary form of transportation is an ostrich of all things. My goodness what was Cosby thinking here? Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
Yes, It Is That Bad.
RoseNylan20 February 2009
There are very few movies I've seen which have actually been physically painful to watch. This is one of them. Bill Cosby plays a secret agent brought out of retirement to save the world from an evil villainess who plans to take over by unleashing trained animals of almost every type, including fish and lobsters.
From the minute this movie started, you could tell this would be the worst movie you've ever seen. There is a good 20 minutes of this film wasted on Cosby getting ready for a date, exercising, showing in Perrier and picking out ties in anticipation for the date, which had absolutely nothing to do with the plot and didn't even work as humor. There is another scene where Cosby is shocked that his daughter is dating a 66 year old man? What does Cosby do? He asks his daughter to get him a coke and proceeds to hold it in front of the camera conspicuously, making sure that the audience knows that he is drinking "Coke". Simply pathetic.
I feel real sorry for that ostrich who unwillingly had to show his face in this atrocious film. There is nothing of any redeeming value in this steaming pile of pony loaf. Except when the guy's head exploded. That was funny!

When I heard this movie was going to be released, I was thrilled!! As an 8-year-old, Dr Huxtable was a hero to me, the only doctor I actually admired. Then I saw this... I cried... I knew it was bad movie even then, and I thought Cosby's career was doomed. The movie's finale -- a bizarre pseudo-sexual moment that sees Cosby clubs his ex with various foodstuffs -- is still tormenting my dreams today. THIS MOVIE MAY HURT CHILDREN!!!!
Only one good thing about the movie
BlaineD21 October 1998
I had a college friend who had the "honor" of being in this film as the "Girl in Bikini." In spite of all the bad reviews, I had to see the film to see her. Well, it turns out that they didn't even use her voice in the scenes; they dubbed her dialog and her screaming.
Apart from getting to see her in the movie, there was nothing at all that would make this a worthwhile film to ever watch again. Fortunately her scene is the first one, so I don't even have to fast-forward or rewind much to see her. :-)
I'd rate this film a 0.

nuhc25 March 2014
I saw this movie on cable not long after it came out, and all I have to say is that it was atrocious. The funniest part was when his wife dumped food on his head. That's it. If you don't think that's funny, you won't like the rest of the movie at all. And of course being a kid at the time, I thought the scene where he launched his armored Porsche was amusing, as if he were launching it off an aircraft carrier. But animals eating secret agents is a pretty lame plot line.
Even Bill Cosby felt remorse for this turkey and urged people to not see it. It really is that bad. I just wonder if he felt he needed some quick cash or something, but he had his TV show going at the time, so that can't be the case.

Once in a generation a movie comes along that defines a genre.
This isn't it.
There are many times when movies are bad; just plain bad. However, some times in the milieux of crap there comes a movie which manages cross over the line which turns a terrible movie into a good movie. Leonard Part 6 crosses that line, gets on an air plane and flies towards the horizon until it runs out of fuel.
To sum up this movie: Leonard is a secret agent who, because of a series of personal life events, ends up taking on a mission from the CIA (or some organization like that). He battles an evil woman who "controls" animals and plans to take over the world.
If you go into this movie expecting a cinematic masterpiece, you are going to be disappointed. If you go in planning to yell "Oh Come On" or "Dear God *eye roll" and enjoy the awful, then you are going to love this.
If you enjoyed Return of the Killer Tomatoes then you will love this.

If you go into this movie expecting a cinematic masterpiece, you are going to be disappointed. If you go in planning to yell "Oh Come On" or "Dear God *eye roll" and enjoy the awful, then you are going to love this.
If you enjoyed Return of the Killer Tomatoes then you will love this.
This movie does not deserve a bad rap

I notice that Showtime plays this movie quite often...and I usually watch part of it when it comes on. I just watched the end of it. I have to admit, it is pretty watchable. My favorite Bill Cosby moments were always when he would get silly, and this has plenty of that. For a comparison, put this movie next to another notoriously reviled movie: Megaforce. Megaforce has some hilarious moments (motorbikes that launch rockets, and spectacularly laughable special effects) however the rest of the movie is painfully drawn out and could be edited down to about a half hour if they took out what doesn't work. I would say that in comparison to Megaforce, Leonard Part 6 is veritable tour de force.
THE WORST COMEDY EVER

UNBELIEVABLE!
After 15 years JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY has been knocked off the #1 spot on my list of all time worst comedies. I decided to check out LEONARD PART 6 for myself just to see if it was really as bad as they said it was.
IT WAS WORSE!
From the opening scene with the killer rainbow trout it never lets up. I can't for the life of me figure out what possessed one of the greatest comedians of our time to turn out something so devoid of laughs and creativity. As a comedy, as a spy movie, as an action flick, as a parody of all of the above, it fails miserably.
At least JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY could squeeze out a couple of feeble laughs.
LEONARD PART 6 has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Rating: 0 out of *****
