Saw it on VHS when I was a kid. Even as kids, we could tell it was bad. It was boring, for one, which is one of the worst things a movie can be. ---

> [@batsto](#): > > I liked it. And I don’t think I’ve ever liked anything else Bill Cosby has done—I positively hated the ‘Cosby Show’ when I was growing up. Of course, I was in High school when I saw LP6, and I remember little about it, other than that I (and the friend who watched it with me) both laughed quite a bit at it. Pot is not as harmless as people believe. 😃 ---

> [@mobo85](#): > > Yes he did. He also bought the rights to it to keep it off television, and accepted his Golden Raspberry Award in person. …It was shown quite a bit on Comedy Central in the late 90s. I think you are conflating the old Little Rascals urban legend (that Bill bought up all the rights to keep them from being shown because of Buckwheat) with this. ---

It’s a ridiculously inept movie. Nor is it a cult classic. ---

> [@congodwarf](#): > > I like it. My sister likes it. > Ghost Dad was terrible. Ah, you too bought into the urban legend. There was no movie called “Ghost Dad.” It never existed. Neither did any movie called Star Trek V or any Police Academy or Major League sequels. No sir. ---

I saw _Leonard Part 6_ at the cinema when it was released. I got in for free. I still want a refund. With 20+ years’ interest, adjusted for inflation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-bill-cosbys-leonard-part-6-as-batsh-t-insane-as-the-description-makes-it-sound/509513.md?page=1)
