Question😂 Loved it

Fans identify a movie reference in "The Mom & Pop Store" where Kramer's bus scene mimics Jon Voight's "Midnight Cowboy", fitting the episode's Jon Voight car subplot.

I always love it when they make subtle (or not so subtle) movie references. One has me stumped . . . It was in "The Mom & Pop Store" when at the very end, Kramer and Jerry are seen on a bus and Kramer gets another nose bleed, looks sickly and says "I'm falling apart, Jerry," and Jerry puts his arm around him. It looks so familiar to me but I can't place it. My first reaction is that it may be a Jon Voigt movie, since that was the episode that George bought "John" Voigt's car . . . help?

If you want to see a lot of other subtle movie references they have made check my MOVIES section on my web opage below - I was amazed at how many there were - and I am still adding them.

That was a subtle movie reference? Anyone over the age of 10 should have seen Midnight Cowboy.

Maybe parenthesized phrases don't exist. DEATON ====================

Dave.

There have been two references to Apocolypse Now with the phrase.. The Horror. Without visiting my site can you name them?

Thanks for both corrections. That's not nitpicking. - I will do a 'search and replace to: Stranded. You are correct. How do you know that it was Taff not Taft - Can you hear the difference in the episode or have you seen it written. I replayed it many times to get as close as I had.

I already answered this in e-mail, as I wasn't aware it had been posted to the newsgroup, so for the benefit of all else interested, the definitive spelling for the name of the law firm that the woman Jerry stakes out in "The Stakeout" works for came from the "Seinfeld Scripts" book put out by Castle Rock Entertainment.

Unless Larry David spelled it wrong from the start...

No, it is a reference to Runaway Train, a scene with Voight and that acting legend (sarcasm) Eric Roberts "manny, manny"

No, actually it's a reference to Midnight Cowboy, with Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman.

Do ya feel lucky, punk.
