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!

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

GRADE: D-

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.

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.

The low ratings are due to to the fact that they aren't watching it the right way. To fully appreciate the genius of this film, one must ingest between 600 and 1100 milligrams of Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 2 to 3 hours before watching it. You will discover the genius of this masterpiece at that point. Immerse yourself into one of thee most unintentionally funny and entertaining films of all time.

I don't know if it would be possible to make a worse movie. I'm actually ashamed to say that I've seen it. I wish I could give it a 0 out of 10!!!

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!

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. (*)

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.

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!!!!

"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).

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.

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

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.

Leonard Part 6 is a not too smart, but surprisingly clever spy-flick spoof. Just a spot or two below Leslie Neilson's last few attempts (Dracula, Dead and Loving It or Repossessed), this spoof should not be thrown into a satire waste bin. However, it is a sad way to remember the man who will forever in our hearts be Cliff Huxtable.

That's not to say all 80s movies are bad, The Elephant Man, Amadeus, Raging Bull for examples are masterpieces in my eyes. However, Leonard Part 6 is an abomination, not only as a spoof but as a comedy as well. And I do consider it one of the nadirs of the 80s along with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie and Hobgoblins. The film looks cheap, while the direction is sloppy. The story is poorly handled, and the jokes are unfunny and take too long to develop. The film's pace is constantly uneven, the script is largely unfunny and the less said about the acting the better. In conclusion, I am not sure about Leonard Part 6 being the worst film of all time, but I couldn't watch it without cringing- sorry I don't recommend it. 1/10 Bethany Cox
