The film then veers into "Karate Kid" territory where the novice humiliates himself at every turn, is tolerated as a foreigner, and still comes out a champion. The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy.

Drew shakes his head.
DREW:
I'm camping out.
He starts away from the stand.
DREW (CONT'D) In front of the temple.
He walks off into the Chinese night.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – EARLY MORN ESTABLISHING SHOT OF MIST-LADEN COURTYARD.
The sun is barely coming up, and only a few shafts of light are illuminating the darkness. A figure can be seen sitting cross-legged in front of the door.
It is Drew, backpack at his side.
The front door opens and a monk pokes his head out to look around, and he sees Drew sitting there. His eyes widen in shock, then he quickly disappears inside.
Almost immediately, the door opens again, and the Admissions Monk is standing there, surprised and angry to see Drew sitting there.
ADMISSIONS MONK: Go home! You cannot stay here!
No response from Drew. He just sits there, staring straight ahead.
ADMISSIONS MONK (CONT'D) Do you hear me? Go away!
Drew doesn't move.
San De, the sweeping monk, walks out of the open door, a monk behind him carrying a suitcase. He walks past Drew, noticing him sitting there. He walks on.
The Admissions Monk slams the door, angry.
EXT. TEMPLE – MONTAGE SECTION ANGLE ON DREW SWEATING IN THE HOT SUNSHINE Sweat is running into Drew's eyes, and he is trying to keep them from stinging.
ANGLE ON DREW BEING TORMENTED BY LOCAL KIDS They are playing games around him, throwing stones at him, messing with his hair and his clothes, touching the things in his backpack (frisbee, football, walkman), etc.
ANGLE ON DRILL SERGEANT As he comes out of the temple, chasing away the kids.
When they are gone, he turns to Drew.
DRILL SERGEANT: Will you give up? I think so.
ANGLE ON DREW SHIVERING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT His eyes are closed, and it is obvious he is very uncomfortable.
ANGLE ON SPIDER AS IT CRAWLS OUT TO SEE DREW It lingers for a moment, then goes away.
ANGLE ON DREW BEING FED BY ASHEMA She is giving him food, and all he is moving is his mouth. They do not speak.
ANGLE ON DREW SITTING IN THE RAIN He is miserable, and he is looking at the relative comfort of the stands around the temple, where there is food, warmth and light. His spirit is wavering.
