Bruce Lee's coat fetches $77,000

07 Aug, 2011

A coat worn by Bruce Lee for his last film "Game of Death" sold for $77,000 at a rare auction of the late kung fu icon's items in Hong Kong Saturday, far above pre-sale estimates. Thirteen items went under the hammer at the sale, believed to be the largest-scale auction of Lee memorabilia in the southern Chinese city, where the martial arts star was raised before moving to the United States in his late teens.
They smashed pre-sale estimates and raised a total of HK$1.78 million ($227,000), including the dark-blue fur-lined coat which was made around 1973 for the film "Game of Death," which was released after Lee's death.
