	Movies - Leonard Part 6

Leonard Part 6 is a 1987 comedy film, directed by Paul Weiland and starring Bill Cosby, who also produced and co-wrote the film.

Synopsis

Bill Cosby plays Leonard Parker, a former CIA spy who is recruited by the CIA—again—to save the world from an evil vegetarian who brainwashes animals to kill people. The movie also starred Joe Don Baker and Gloria Foster.

Criticism

When the film was released in 1987, Bill Cosby said he was so disappointed with it that he publicly advised people to not waste their money to see it. Cosby blamed most of the movie's problems on Weiland, whom he thought was too young and inexperienced, although Cosby himself was co-writer and producer.

An implied sequel to its nonexistent predecessors, which were referred to as still being "Classified". The movie won three Golden Raspberry Awards, for Worst Actor (Cosby), Worst Picture (Cosby), and Worst Screenplay (Jonathan Reynolds and Cosby). It was nominated for two more Razzie Awards, for Worst Supporting Actress (Foster) and Worst Director (Weiland). For the 2005 Razzies, it earned a nomination for the Worst "Comedy" of Our First 25 Years category. A few weeks after the ceremony, Cosby accepted his three Razzies for doing the movie on The Fox Late Show; he requested that the three Razzies he earned be specifically made out of 24 carat (100%) gold and Italian marble.

The movie was mentioned in an episode of Family Guy. When an animated Cosby hypnotizes Stewie, Stewie responds "And I like pudding. And Ghost Dad
was the best movie I've seen since Leonard Part 6."
