Bruce Lee’s Yellow Jumpsuit Up For Auction

Bruce Lee’s yellow jumpsuit is now available to purchase, if you happen to have a few thousand dollars to spare.

Bruce Lee is considered one of the greatest martial arts fighters to ever live, and if you look at what he accomplished, he probably is. He brought Kung Fu to the US in spite of death threats, and even faced punishment for it, leading to him being temporarily paralyzed. For the movie buffs out there, he even beat Chuck Norris hand to hand, and there is video to prove it below.

The Chinese martial arts champion got his US start in The Green Hornet, where he played the sidekick who did all of the heavy work for his partner. He was supposed to get his first TV role in Kung Fu, but the studio replaced him with David Carradine. His theatrical breakthrough happened in Hong Kong with The Big Boss.

Continuing his success, Bruce Lee went on to star in the blockbuster Enter the Dragon. The film was so successful it was actually used as a template for one of the best video game based movies of all time, Mortal Kombat.

It was Game of Death that introduced Bruce Lee’s famous yellow jumpsuit, an outfit used in several forms for characters meant to emulate him. The most famous iterations are video game characters from Tekken (Law), Super Street Fighter II (Fei Long), and Mortal Kombat (Liu Kang). The yellow jumpsuit is an icon that solidifies Bruce Lee’s presence even when it’s not really him.
