Venice is the city of cinema not only for its festival, but also because it was the setting of many successful films.

All tourists crossing the busy Campo San Barnaba and looking at the neoclassical facade of the church of the same name, may note that it looks familiar.. Why?

In the film ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (1989), the church (only the exterior) was used as the setting for an imaginary library. The Campo San Barnaba, in front of the church, was then used to shoot the scene in which the protagonist of the film, after having passed through the (non-existent) underground passages in search of the tomb of one of the keepers of the Holy Grail knights, emerges out of a manhole in the middle of the square, to the embarrassment of the elegant clients of the bar seated at the tables.

In fact, the church of St. Barnabas, of medieval origin but rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century by the architect Lorenzo Boschetti, is still a church to all intents and purposes, although it is currently hosting an exhibition on the machines invented by Leonardo da Vinci.

Pay attention to its thousand year old spire bell tower as it is one of oldest in the city!

Venice is a perfect film set and many directors decided to set their works among its enchanting narrow streets and canals.

I’ve never been fond of the boneyard aspect of Hollywood Studios. A bunch of old movie vehicles rotting under the sun always depressed me. It’s one thing when they’re just random street cars from some forgotten Christian Slater movie. But it’s something else entirely when they’re iconic vehicles like the Indiana Jones tank from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Sometimes they also torture old theme park icons.

The Indiana Jones tank is from the big battle between Indy and the Nazis in the middle of the desert. You no doubt remember it as the second best of the Indy movies (though your memory is faulty; Temple of Doom is actually better than Last Crusade).

I hated seeing this thing in the boneyard. All the paint flaking off, bits and pieces falling off the side, gaping holes from armadillo burrows, weeds sprouting up everywhere. This isn’t movie magic. This is the graveyard of childhood.

The Indiana Jones tank as seen in the movie. Note the pristine turret on the right. This tank is in top fighting order. The only thing that could defeat it is an archeologist with a rock.

After a year or so, some bright young member of the Disney-MGM Studios staff discovered an entire stunt show at the park that happened to feature Indiana Jones. They put two and two together, and before long, the tank had moved from the Boneyard to the exit of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, where it was posed in menacing firing formation, surrounded by oil drums.

If you’ve never seen it, it’s probably because you exited on the right rather than the left. The tank is very close to the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost shop. The only downside is that aside from the new pose, the tank looked exactly the same as when it was in the Boneyard. Which is to say, it was rusted over and falling apart, with rubber treads decaying like a zombie muppet.

Today I’m happy to report that the entire Indiana Jones tank (and its surrounding area) have been completely refurbished.

As Belloq might say: “It’s beautiful!” Aside from that right turret. Kids, before firing your tank, please make sure somebody has not jammed a rock in the barrel.

I have not seen the Indiana Jones tank mentioned anywhere online yet, so this might be a real bona fide scoop (but probably not; I’m usually not fast enough to beat the really great Disney news sites). I’m not sure how recent this change is, but it has to be within the last month or so. The tank has been completely repainted and spruced up. No sign of rust anywhere. It has also gained several battle props, including a new machine gun nest.

It’s either a machine gun nest or a very elaborate mouse trap.

It looks really great, and I am simply thrilled that they actually devoted the time to cleaning this up, as opposed to passing it off as a “real” movie prop. Perhaps they didn’t want Lucas to see it in disrepair when he inevitably shows up for Star Tours 2.

It still cracks me up that Disney will go to great lengths to duplicate the German insignia, yet stop four lines short of drawing an offensive symbol.
