Indie filmmakers on Long Island were filming a scene consisting of a convenience store robbery. Someone passing by the store spotted an actor pointing a gun at anther actor, and called the police:

"The first officer arrives, looks in the window and he sees a gentleman with a gun pointed at the counter," Garcia said.

"So he enters the store and confronts the individual, and says, 'Police, drop the gun,'" Garcia said. "The individual puts his hands up in the air and says, 'It's a movie! It's a movie!'"

He said the officer repeated his order to drop the gun several times before using force to disarm the actor of his fake pistol.
