A yellow jumpsuit worn by martial arts legend Bruce
Lee in one of his final fight scenes fetched HK$780,000 ($100,500) at auction
on Thursday.
The famous outfit was one of 14 items in a
collection of the actor's personal belongings and props that went under the
hammer in Hong Kong. The sale fetched a total of more than HK$2 million
($258,000) -- double the auction house's estimate.
The costume, which features black stripes, was sold
to an anonymous online bidder who purchased a total of six pieces.
It's one of only two jumpsuits worn by Lee during
filming of the movie, "Game of Death," and has inspired tributes in
popular culture ranging from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" to the
ninth video game in the "Grand Theft Auto" series.
