Bids of Fury
An American couple submitted the winning auction bid for a flamboyant fur-lined blue jacket worn by Bruce Lee in his final film appearance, entertainment website NME.com reported Saturday.
The martial arts movie icon wore the long blue jacket in the unfinished film “Game of Death” as well as at the premiere of his best-known film, “Enter the Dragon.”
The auction winners bid $77,000 for the jacket, BBC reported.

Does this not seem like the first act of a goofy ’80s action film?
Perhaps the purchaser dreams of the respect afforded the martial artist – respect he can only truly earn from his big-haired girlfriend by viciously pummeling an army of goons sent to kill her last-good-man-on-the-police-force father.
Thank goodness he’s just obtained a jacket which allows him to be temporarily possessed by the furiously-fisted spirit of Bruce Lee.
I wonder how much you have to make in a year for $77,000 to seem like a reasonable price for a jacket? Maybe I’m just jealous, none of my coats are flamboyant.
