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.
