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.

ANGLE ON D.S.
Watching them go. There is a slight smile on his face.
EXT. DORMITORY – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF LI RUBBING THE BRUISE ON DREW'S SHOULDER WITH TIGER BALM.
It is huge, and looks really painful.
LI:
If you go to San De, he can send you to a doctor... Drew pulls away and stands up. He backs up to the wall of the dormitory, right underneath a window.
DREW:
I appreciate your concern, Li, but it's not that serious. I'm all right.
Just as he is talking, Gao comes to the window with a pan of dirty water (from washing the floor of the dorm).
GAO LOOKS DOWN (GAO POV) AND SEES DREW Hhe smiles, then pours the huge bucket over the edge, dousing Drew.
ANGLE ON DREW: As the dirty water hits him, drenching him.
EXT. WATERFALL – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF WATERFALL.
It is huge, and the water is crashing down from high above.
ANGLE ON A MONK, INSIDE THE WATERFALL He is going through martial arts techniques as the water thunders onto him.
ANGLE ON D.S. AND GROUP As they stand on the bank.
D.S.
Concentrate on your stance. All I want you to do is try to hold your stance. Li, you're first.
Li smiles and walks into the waterfall, using a walkway that goes behind the thundering water.
He moves into the water a little, and gets into a deep horse stance. He stand there, immovable. After a moment, he turns to look at D.S.
ANGLE ON D.S.
Who motions him farther into the water.
ANGLE ON LI: Who nods his head and walks into the thundering water. As soon as he gets into the main stream of water, he is forced off the ledge and he falls about 20 feet into the pool below.
D.S.
Next... Each of them try it in turn. Everyone fails.
Gao goes in, and he manages to stand under the impact of the water for a moment, before he too succumbs and goes down into the pool.
ANGLE ON DREW: It's his turn. He walks to the waterfall and goes in. He picks up an umbrella he stashed behind the waterfall (imprinted with a "NEW YORK GIANTS NFL" logo on it – unmistakably American).
He walks into the waterfall, and the umbrella works for a moment. Drew is holding it with both hands, and he gets into a deep horse stance.
