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.

GAO:
Shut up!
DREW:
(holding his side) Oh, unbelievable, in the same place...
SAN DE:
Are they ready to begin their training?
DRILL SERGEANT: They are.
SAN DE:
Then, let us welcome them into our ranks!
Gongs go off, firecrackers are set off, and a special flag is raised on the flag pole. A roar comes from the crowd outside.
ANGLE ON THE DISCIPLES All of whom are happy. All, that is, except for Gao, who is staring at Drew.
Drew, notices the stare.
DREW:
You got a problem, man?
GAO:
You, American... ANGLE ON SAN DE: When the noise subsides.
SAN DE:
Your training begins tomorrow. For now, your shr fu will introduce you to our temple. Welcome to Shaolin.
San De walks away, and the disciples are split into several "platoons". Drew is matched up with the Drill Sergeant, and Gao is also in his group.
DREW:
Great, just great.
They are motioned to follow Gao out of the courtyard and into the temple proper.
INT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – SAME DAY Drew walks behind the other disciples, who are lining up to get their robes. As he takes his place in line, a monk comes up to take Drew's backpack. Drew resists, and a tug of war ensues.
DREW:
What are you doing, man?
MONK:
You must surrender this.
DREW:
No way, man! Get your own... The Drill Sergeant sees the scuffle and walks over.
D.S.
It is unseemly to argue like this. Take the backpack into the sleeping quarters.
(to Drew) Do not cling to material things – it is not good for your soul.
He walks away, and Drew reluctantly gives up his backpack.
Drew lines back up, and is about to get his robes, when Gao slides over and takes them from him. Drew immediately shoves him and tries to grab the robes back. Gao smiles and moves away, holding the robes up and away from Drew.
Drew is pissed and ready to go after Gao. Before he can, however, LI, another disciple, grabs another set of robes from the table and gives it to Drew, pulling him away from the confrontation.
DREW (CONT'D) What's with that guy?
