    [DVD version Review] This proved why Eddie Murphy was one of the greatest cast members of all time. Eddie Murphy got his start on SNL and he did great stuff like \\\"Buckwheat\\\" \\\"Black guy in White Guy Makeup\\\" a dead on Stevie Wonder \\\"Mr Robinsons Neighbor Hood\\\" and several other great stuff.
