INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989) - SFX Mechanical Venice Catacombs Rat - An SFX mechanical Venice catacombs rat from Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In addition to the thousands of live rats used for the sequence where Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) explored the catacombs beneath Venice, many mechanical rats were created for use in SFX and pyro shots where real rats couldn't be safely used.

This rat features a brown faux fur covered fiberglass body with resin details including teeth, a rubber tail, internal mechanisms for movement, and a black metal bar on the side for attaching it to a larger rig. The mechanical elements are meant to be activated by a switch between the rat's hind legs, but are not currently functioning as the mechanics have been fully sealed. It has undergone sympathetic repair where the feet were previously broken and exhibits some cracking from age and use. Dimensions: 11" x 5" x 7" (28 cm x 12.75 cm x 18 cm)

Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
