20 Worst Films Of All Time

15. Leonard Part 6 (1987)

Lots of money, talent and product placements for Coca Cola (which owned Columbia at the time) went into Leonard Part 6, and the film certainly isn€™t lacking for ideas or set pieces €“ they€™re just not very good ideas or very clever set pieces. Bill Cosby is spy-turned-restauranteur Leonard Parker, who€™s brought out of retirement to track down a €œvegetarian and former ecologist€ with a formula for controlling the minds of various creatures. Said formula turns lobsters, frogs and gophers into crazed killers capable of throwing cars through the air, and only Cosby can save the day with his underarm rocket launcher and flying ostrich. Which might sound like goofy fun, and in the hands of Barry Sonnenfeld it could€™ve been another Men In Black, but every single joke lands with a thud. Fans of Sonnenfeld's Wild Wild West will love it.
