If he makes the carrier for the Super fighter? Probably not. Nevertheless, a run-in yellow suit has earned $ 100,000 at an auction in Hong Kong. Although he has written a broken zipper, but also film history.
The fabric quality is so bad that the body suit is a less addressed. The zipper on the back was also broken, says Anna Lee, as she holds the yellow jumpsuit with the thick black stripe down the side to the camera. Lee is an employee of an auction house in Hong Kong. There, the battered piece of clothing has now come under the hammer – for $ 100,000. The auction house had expected a third of the price.
Once Lee knows exactly what the jumpsuit really means: Then still could be found fingerprints of martial arts legend Bruce Lee. “On the right chest and left shoulder,” said the employee of the Auction House, which is not related to the movie star, the “Hollywood Reporter”. Bruce Lee had designed the jumpsuit to the filming of “Game of Death” in the early seventies itself.
Lee played in a martial arts star, who fakes his own death in order to take after a foiled assassination attempt from the ground out on his enemies revenge. The broken zipper evidence still of the ambitious battle scenes. But Lee was unable to complete the shooting, 1973, he died of an asthma attack. Five years later, the film was completed with another performer.
At the auction another devotional will be auctioned. So a medallion of born in San Fancisco Lee is also gone to a new owner. Then two dragons in front of a Jade Stone are pictured. Overall, 14 items brought in nearly $ 258,000.
The suit also wrote after that film history. So Uma Thurman wears an adaptation in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill”. Who paid the $ 100,000 for the original, is not known. However, the purchaser is not the sole owner of the Costume treasure: it should still be a second yellow suit.
