Quantity, please?

While living, in Hawaii during the 1980s, I was privileged to watch several episodes of “MAGNUM P.I.” being filmed, on location.

When the Director calls for the cameras to roll, prior to calling for “Action!,” the camera operator responds that the camera is rolling and that the film has reached the required speed through the lens aperture.

During one shoot at the Chinese Cultural Center in Honolulu, actor Tom Selleck was in one of his mischievous moods, and the following ensued:

Director: “Roll ‘em!”

Cameraman: “We got speed!”

Selleck: “How many ounces?”

Director: “Cut!”
