This was the fourth episode for the eighth season, originally broadcast on the NBC network on October 10, 1996.
Brody later becomes sick from eating too much candy and has Kramer take him home, directing Jerry at gunpoint to finish making the tape.
Opposed to bootlegging but afraid of turning Brody down, Jerry has Kramer ghost-film it for him.
However, when Jerry learns Death Blow has become a bootleg legend, he becomes unwilling to let Kramer's shoddy work go out under his name.
George takes up bootlegging in an effort to restore his "bad boy" image, but gets arrested and cries when a policeman yells at him, permanently shaming himself in Anna's eyes.
The cold open was based on an internal monologue Feresten had while walking down the street, worrying about what dangers could befall him.
Though the script stipulated that Elaine's dance would include little kicks, Julia Louis-Dreyfus had to develop the choreography herself.
