What happens

Leonard Part 6 (also known as Leonard Part VI) is a 1987 American spy parody film. It was directed by Paul Weiland and starred Bill Cosby, who also produced the film and wrote its story. The film also starred Gloria Foster as the villain Medusa Johnson and Joe Don Baker. The film was shot in the San Francisco Bay Area. The film received universally negative reviews from critics and has often been considered to be one of the worst films ever made. It earned several Golden Raspberry Awards; Cosby himself denounced and disowned it in the press in the weeks leading up to its release. It was also a box-office bomb, earning just over $4.6 million on a $24 million budget. In spite of the film's negative press and commercial failure, its closing track "Without You" (performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle) became a chart success, peaking at #8 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #14 on the US R&B chart, and #89 on the US Billboard Hot 100 the following year.
