Sylvester Stallone’s original handwritten script pages for Rocky, the 1976 Oscar winning Best Picture, sold for $437,500 at Julien’s Auctions in Hollywood on December 5. It had been estimated at $50,000-$70,000. His film worn Rocky III American Flag silk boxing trunks made $200,000, twenty times the original estimate. Hundreds of bidders, collectors and fans across the globe participated in person, on the phone and online in a sale of nearly 500 items from Stallone’s personal collection of costumes, movie props and memorabilia from the Rocky and Rambo movie franchises, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, The Specialist, Assassins, Escape Plan, Cop Land, and The Expendables–as well as awards, fine jewellery, furniture, and other luxury items.
