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.

He turns to smile at the D.S., and then waves at the others. As soon as he takes a hand off the handle of the umbrella, the water slams him and off he goes into the pool.
He lands with a huge splash, doing a painful bellow flop. Drew comes to the surface, still clutching the now- destroyed umbrella. He smiles at the other disciples, who are still swimming, sheepishly.
DREW:
Thought I'd join you guys.
INT. TEMPLE TRAINING HALL – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GROUPS WORKING OUT.
Drew is in with the group. Gao and Drew are chosen to do a training exercise together.
D.S.
In this exercise, you try to touch your partner's chest lightly, and your partner tries to block.
The group gets started doing the drill, and Gao is almost caving Drew's chest in with his blows. He is so close to Drew that Drew doesn't have a chance to block it. On the last strike, Drew falls back to the ground.
The D.S. is there immediately.
D.S.
Something wrong?
Drew shakes his head and gets back up.
D.S.
Switch!
Now it's Drew's turn to strike, and he tries to hit Gao with the same amount of force as he did, but Gao avoids his attack, throwing him off balance. He throws another punch out, and Gao grabs it and pulls.
Drew falls to the floor again. A monk who was watching walks over.
MONK:
The goal of this drill is not to hurt your partner. Just try to tap his chest.
DREW:
I know, but...
MONK:
Then do it that way... The Monk walks away, shaking his head.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – EVENING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF TEMPLE COURTYARD, EMPTY EXCEPT FOR DREW AND LI PLAYING CATCH WITH A FRISBEE.
Drew is flipping it in a bunch of different ways, and Li is enjoying watching him.
To the side of the courtyard are two brooms leaning against the wall.
DREW:
This sure beats sweeping... ANGLE ON FRISBEE Floating past temple statues and ancient Chinese decorations, barely missing them.
Drew makes an acrobatic catch and then flicks it back to Li, harder than he should have. It heads for an ancient statue and smacks it dead center, right in the face.
The statue starts to tip!
