I think you are neglecting to mention one SNL product who created a genre-- the
violent crime/ comedy/ interracial/ intercultural buddy movie -- with his roles
in \"48 Hours\" and \"Beverly Hills Cop\", which for better or worse made way
for \"Lethal Weapon\" and \"Rush Hour\", etc  

I think that Eddie Murphy\'s collaboration with Dan Aykroyd in \"Trading Places\"
produced one of the better movies involving SNL grads. The worst may have been
\"Neighbors\" where Belushi was cast against type as a straight man, with Aykroyd
as his antagonist. This same ploy somehow worked brilliantly in \"King of
Comedy\", where DeNiro was cast as a buffoon with Jerry Lewis playing the dour
straight man.
