the only truly funny part of tonights show was the dream Jerry had of Uncle Leo in jail doing chin ups. a great brilliant homage to the film cape fear and de niro.

and de

Not to mention Robert Mitchum. (BTW, notice they used the actual music from the film?)

i think most seinfeld viewers are familiar with the cape fear remake with deniro and not the original with mitchum. i especially loved bernard herrman's score during the scene. cape fear was his last score as he passed away after completing the film.

Really?? I thought it was hilarious.

I agree! I cracked up at the "Jerry" and "Hello" written on Uncle Leo's knuckles (instead of "love" and "hate"), and especially loved Leo's stunt double's (Leo's stunt double--that sounds pretty strange!) chiseled back and "Brentano's" bloody knife tattoo.

Also, on another note, it was good to see the indignant "Rebecca De Mornay" make another appearance.
