Melted butter......
29 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
After separating from his wife, Leonard quit the spy business and became a restaurateur.

His wife refuses to speak with him, and his daughter has begun dating a man old enough to be his father.

On top of it all, the government has asked him to come back and save the world again.

Medusa Johnson has hypnotised animals into doing her bidding, and plans to use them to take over the world.

It's up to Leonard to save the world, as only he can battle her Vegetarians and killer animals.

It's a bad film by all means, it makes no sense to have three of the stand out scenes of this movie right at the beginning, but they do, and if you really lower your expectations, you will find some strange kitsch gem in this mess.

It's not funny, and Cosby is in almost every scene, it's a vanity project for him, someone who was the most famous face on US TV at the time, and his ego told him he could do the same in movie, albeit with a really strange title you won't get unless you see the film, and killer frogs and lobsters.

But there is something about this movie, that would make me want to watch it again. It's never boring, I'll give Cosby that, and he is likable in a strange way, it's just that the main story arc of the movie involving the killer animals, pales in comparison to scenes and connotation to his personal life and him trying to get his wife back, which is entertaining.

So the main story is pap and dull, save for the Bullfrog scene, and the final third is barking mad beyond belief. Melted Butter and raw Hamburgers are literally used as weapons, and a mans head explodes because he bites into a frankfurter.

Its an unmitigated disaster on all accounts, and it's one of the most abhorrent things I've seen in a while, it would have never found an audience, but it's never boring, and it's not on for too long either.

See it, just to experience it
