If you like your cheese nice and moldy, try Bill Cosby's Leonard Part 6. Never has riding ostriches and evil vegetarian supervillianesses been so howlingly bad! So bad, Bill Cosby denounced it before it was released -- then went on to make Ghost Dad.

Oy.

I have not watched this movie since going to the theater in 1987 to see it.
To this day when I hear mention of a bad movie, I always ask, "Have you seen Leonard Part 6"? More times than not, the fortunate souls say "no". Those unlucky few of us who have suffered the brain nummbing 90 minutes of our lives will never recoup that time.
I am writing this as a service to anyone who feels that comedy should be funny and not so stupid that you laugh at the idea that someone paid to see it before you realize that you just paid to see it. This movie has got to be in the running for worst theatrical release ever. I'd rather watch a 5 mile snail race than subject myself to this mistreatment again. I am a Cosby fan and I love his work in other shows, but, this one proves that no matter how good an actor you are, you're not immune to something that flat out sucks.

Leonard Pt. 6 is one of the single worst movies I have ever seen. That is what makes it so great. Low budget cable TV stations would probably choose to go off air instead of showing this garbage. But for some reason, I still enjoy watching this movie. For the balance between trash and enjoyment, I give it 3/5 stars.

Stupid stupid movie

You can enjoy it in a brainless sort of way

And whats with the ending, them putting food on poor Bill Cosby

To his credit, Bill advised people against seeing it

Just dumb.. Heres a list: man blowing up after eating a hotdog (WTF?!)
fish stopping to look at porn

Just a terrible all around film. Probably very entertaining if you bring some friends around though!

Haha. That's just a joke. There is only part 6. That was supposed to be a joke too. Now you don't know about this movie because there was actually a cover-up initiated by The Cos himself because he was so embarrassed about it!

After you sit through the painful, hand drawn credit-sequence you get to watch the only part of the film worth watching! This is extremely handy because you now no longer have to watch the rest of the movie. They were nice enough to put the funniest parts of the film, spliced together at the beginning of the film for us! In a split second we see: a tank car soaring through the air, Cos in a spacesuit dancing ballet w/ pink ballet slippers, and Cos in a janitor's uniform riding an ostrich through a roaring ball o' fire!!! By the time this sequence is over you will be rolling on the floor laughing, struggling to keep your head so you don't miss the rest of this hilarious film.

But you wait and wait. That's it, that was the only part of the film worth watching. You will get to see these scenes again, but what's the point? You've already seen them and in context they aren't even half as funny. This movie is supposed to be the Cosby Show meets James Bond. The plot involves some animal rights terrorists and the Cos has to stop them. Along the way he has probs with his wife and daughter which eventually get solved in the end.

It's supposed to be a comedy, but the jokes are lame and unoriginal and struggle too hard to be funny, not unlike Michael Richards after a long day at the Laugh Factory. Only you won't get an insincere apology from this turkey.

The most painful part of this movie is seeing the wonderful and talented Bill Cosby being raped of all respect from this shameless failure in cinema. I can't let the Cos off too easy though. He COULD have livened things up. He COULD have at least made a Jell-o pudding pop joke.

When all is said and done we cannot let Cos escape this miserable failure. He must atone for his sins. Reporters, ask him about this movie at EVERY opportunity. Fans, during his live appearances shout "Free Leonard!...Part 6!" Presidents of global imperial powers, detain Cos for questioning, water board him until he admits that he made this miserable failure. Force him to pay reparations for what this movie has done!

However, it is hilarious and I love it. It makes absolutely no sense at all and that's why it works. The reason why it works is it doesn't take itself too seriously (An ostrich in ballet slippers?) so it's easy to let yourself enjoy it. A true guilty pleasure.

I do have one question. Are there really parts 1-5 or is this an urban legend?

My fiance and I are huge Cosby fans, so we knew we would love Leonard Pt 6. Boy were we wrong! We both like stupid movies a lot, ie-Napoleon Dynamite, Naked Gun, etc. but this was just too much. Scaring off attacking lobsters with melted butter is where I draw the line from stupid-funny to just plain stupid. Definately not one of Cosby's better moments. Definately rent before you buy!

It's a pity we live in a world where a tawdry piece of film making like The Return of Captain Invincible (starring Alan Arkin) can get a fine DVD release and Leonard Part 6 sits on dusty shelves on VHS.

Release the masters! Let's get this baby out on a Special Edition Release! Critereon are you *LISTENING* - !?!

I, Brandon Douglas-Sterling Hatch, am the CHARTER MEMBER of the Let's Get Leonard Part 6 Out On DVD Club!

This movie is pure, unadulterated, cinematic genius. Bill Cosby's best work. I mean... I was sold the minute I saw the porn-perusing killer tuna!

Leonard Part 6 is nothing short of brilliant. It is the perfect showcase for Billy Cosby's impeccable comic timing, and it also features several other Oscar-caliber performances in a script worthy of Moliere. This film brings to light several important topics of our time - vegeterianism, marital dysfunction and animal protection to name a few - without ever seeming preachy. It will keep you pondering these subjects for weeks. Complete with real belly laughs and serious overtones, Leonard Part 6 takes its place alongside Bringing Up Baby and Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times as one of the preeminent film comedies of the century.

First off, yes it's true Bill Cosby denounce his own film he actually wrote and produced. That gives every right for critics to bash this film. Yes, Leonard Part 6 have some over the top silly moments and have a ridiculous plot that clearly don't need to be taken serious like killer animals that kill at the command of "quelish". Even though it's considered the worst movie it has a great soundtrack. Yes, it's cheesiest at it's best,but there's scenes in the film that work like the restaruant scene where everything goes wrong for the hitman that tries to kill Leonard fyi classic in my opinon. I agree with Mr. Cosby about his reason for falling out with the director which was because of the feud Leonard and his wife had about something soo stupid that a real marriage couple wouldn't fight over for a long period of time as they do in the movie.So, if you're willing to risk buying or renting this crazy time of a movie which now has become a cult raspy classic then do so. Believe it or not I've seen worser movies hint like "dude where's my car","lost in space",ect. So if you like brainless stupid humor then this movie is the epitome of stupid and silliness just think of it as airplane or naked gun with no real strings attached. So allow yourself to indulge in crazy humor and allow to ask yourself what was Bill Cosby thinking when he made this movie. This DVD has no commentary or deleted scenes which I can understand why WITH A MOVIE LIKE THIS IT'S JUST SPEECHLESS. And the reason why I gave it four stars because I don't think it's terrible as critics say it is it sure do has it's moments though.
