Leonard, Part 6 - (Never) See It....

Leonard Part 6 is a 1987 comedy film, that parodies spy movies and is directed by Paul Weiland and starring Bill Cosby, who also produced the film and wrote its story. The movie also starred Joe Don Baker and Gloria Foster.

The movie was filmed in the San Francisco Bay Area, and was rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. It is considered by many to be one of the worst films of all time, earning several Golden Raspberry Awards; it was denounced in the press by Cosby himself in the weeks leading up to its release.

There are a couple of scenes with a killer rainbow trout and some killer frogs (who go under an agent's car and hop it into the river) that are weirdly funny.

The final scene, a spoof of the typical spy movie where the hero is a prisoner of the evildoer, involves killer lobsters and Leonard fending them off with the threat of melted butter and him beating the baddies by throwing hamburger patties at them (it seems they too were vegetarians).
