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.

ASHEMA (CONT'D) I'm sorry, Drew. It was a good effort.
Drew is sitting there, trying to understand what is happening when the door to the temple opens again. The Drill Sergeant appears in the doorway and impatiently motions for Drew to come in.
The crowd has stopped and is watching the drama unfold.
Drew gets up warily, expecting some trick.
The Drill Sergeant motions again, wanting Drew to hurry up.
Drew looks at Ashema and her Bau Bau and smiles. He picks up his backpack and starts towards the temple, limping from sitting for so long.
The crowd goes crazy, clapping and yelling.
Drew runs into the temple. The door closes behind him.
INT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF INTERIOR OF TEMPLE.
The line of disciples has stopped, waiting for Drew. Drew, back pack in hand, takes his place at the end of the line.
They parade past a line of monks assembled in the courtyard inside the temple.
As they walk by, some of the monks look nonplused, while a few are put out by the fact that Drew is among them.
Several of the disciples turn around to look at Drew, and a couple are openly hostile to him.
They file up to a raised platform, on which stand 20 monks, each holding a scroll in their hands, one monk for every new disciple.
A gong sounds, and the questions begin.
ANGLE ON FIRST DISCIPLE Who is asked...
MONK:
Do you accept the authority of the Shaolin patriarchs?
DISCIPLE 1 Yes, without pause.
ANGLE ON DREW:
MONK:
Do you renounce the earthly world?
DREW:
Sure do, master. You bet.
The monk pauses, for that is not the ritual answer to the question. The Drill Sergeant comes up to him and whispers in his ear, and the monk then continues.
MONK:
Will you abide by the rules of the temple, even if it means death?
DREW:
I do.
The Drill Sergeant comes up behind Drew and WHACKS him in the side with his elbow.
