It wasn't until this past Halloween, while watching Predator with some buddies, that I realized that Hawkins was played by Shane effin' Black !

I LOVE Monster Squad, and I have a couple of friends who have an inexplicable, non-ironic love of the Lethal Weapon franchise (as well as any of Shane Black's other 80's and 90's "buddy cop" movies), so I've seen so many of his movies, soooo many times, but I somehow NEVER knew that he was Hawkins !!!
