Bruce Lee’s Game of Death Nunchaku Iconic weaponry from a lost classic... Presented for sale, for the first time, is a one-of-a-kind pair of wooden lacquered nunchaku commissioned by Bruce Lee for his illustrious final movie, Game of Death. Lee personally designed this iconic weapon to match his celebrated yellow and black Game of Death jumpsuit, which has since been further immortalised in Tarantino's 2003 movie, Kill Bill. Designed to deliver matchless combat sequences during Lee's electrifying nunchaku battle with senior student and co-star, Dan Inosanto, this unique design was conceived to facilitate the lighting-fast solo displays Bruce would deliver to camera. Unique amongst all Bruce Lee’s nunchaku, and distinct from the first pair made for the movie (which bent visibly), this model is built from lightweight lacquered wood and the sticks are connected by a fortified cord. By requesting this design, Bruce ensured that the nunchaku would move with maximum speed and fluency in his skilled hands; thus providing the audience with a display of martial artistry it would never forget! One of the most iconic martial arts weapons of all time: a genuine one-of-kind piece of Bruce Lee history. Ex Taky Kimura
