Leonard Part 6

[rock204]

Please do a rifftrack of the Cosby "Cheesefest" known as Leonard Part 6 (1987). I think it's critical attention is long overdue

Look at the "artistry" of this screencap. It's begging to be riffed...

Generally, Rifftrax doesn't riff comedies. Particularly ones like this that don't take themselves seriously.

And I doubt they could take this crud......

Is ths one even on DVD?

Pretty sure it is.  I rented it from Netflix about a year ago.

Ouch! I watched it once as a kid and thought it was stupid. I can't imagine how much it must suck to watch it as an adult.

Similarly, I imagine GhostDad is probably pretty painful.

I know I could easily look this up, but I'm lazy.  What the hell is this movie anyway?  All I know about it is the title and the fact that everyone who ever saw it, including Bill Cosby himself, absolutely hated it.

It's a 1987 "comedy" about a super spy (Bill Cosby) who is brought out of retirement to save the world from a group of evil vegetarians who use trained frogs, fish and other animals to kill their victims.  And no, I didn't make that up.  The plot is literally that stupid.

Here's the review for Leonard part 6 from Siskel & Ebert.  They explain its absurdities far better than I can.

I loved their movie reviews!

[Danecho1967]

Oh, yes.  The days when Roger Ebert just talked about movies.  When Bill Cosby was the richest man in show business and Tom Seleck was a big-time A-list actor.

Think I'll stop before this thread cross-polinates with the nostalgia thread.

I just did it because I heard how legendarily awful Leonard Part 6 was.  I liked how overt and completely out of place the Coca-Cola product placement was.  Leonard had no reason at all to be making a sandwich and drinking a Coke in that scene.

It's too bad Ebert couldn't do a riff of North (1994).  He really hated the hell out of that movie.

And if not him, then Rifftrax.  Of course Rifftrax doesn't do comedies.  Then again, how anyone could consider North a comedy is beyond me?
