在香港国际散打争霸赛上，美国青年卡森惨败于特里弗之手，并被当众羞辱，为报仇雪恨，卡森萌发了去少林寺出家习武的念头。他来到嵩山脚下，结识一个叫阿诗玛的姑娘。阿诗玛带他到少林寺山门。卡森好奇心胜，误闯经堂，被赶出山门，心灰意冷◇经阿诗玛爷爷的指点，他不畏烈日风雨，在山门前打坐，终于打动少林寺主持三德和尚，破例收卡森为少林弟子。卡森入寺后，先是随师兄弟劳作，时日一久，卡森露出烦闷，听起了摇滚音乐。三德法师原谅了他的过失◇来又在练武时逞强好胜，不慎打碎神像，三德法师又原谅了他，并借机教以少林武… After being humiliated in the ring by a dirty kickboxer who pulled down his shorts and then hit him, a martial arts master decides to travel to China and enter a monastery where he may learn the Shaolin form of fighting. 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.

In a crouch, Drew scans the area, then motions for the others to jump down.
Immediately, other figures land with PUFFs of dust all around him. As soon as they have all landed, they move off.
ANGLE ON GROUP: As they sneak through the courtyards and training areas of the temple. They are about halfway across from the front door of the temple when a monk comes walking towards them. He is weaving and bobbing – he looks drunk.
Drew shoots Li and Gao a questioning look. Drunk? In the temple?
They take refuge behind a couple of the columns and watch as the monk makes his way past, weaving and throwing kicks and punches. It is a tense moment as the monk comes uncomfortably close to where Drew and Gao are standing, but he walks on.
GAO:
(whisper) Drunken Kung Fu... Drew nods and leads them out of the temple.
EXT. TEMPLE – SAME NIGHT ESTABLISHING SHOT OF GROUP AS THEY HEAD DOWN THE DARK STREETS OF THE TOWN. EUPHORIA STRIKES, AND THEY ARE HAVING FUN (AD LIBS HERE) JUST BEING FREE AND A.W.O.L.
EXT. GIRL'S SCHOOL – SAME NIGHT ESTABLISHING SHOT OF FRONT OF GIRL'S SCHOOL.
It is the same school where Drew first met Ashema. The guys, still happy, arrive at the school, and the realization of what they are about to do sinks in.
They stop talking and are staring at the building. Drew starts toward the door, and nobody follows his lead. He stops and motions for them to join him. Nobody moves.
DREW:
Are we men or are we sheep?
A beat, then the entire group bellows:
GROUP:
SHEEP!
And they follow Drew, the shepherd, in through the front door, making noises like sheep.
INT. PARTY ROOM – SAME NIGHT ESTABLISHING SHOT OF PARTY.
It isn't happening. The boys are on one side, the girls are on the other. The music is bad Chinese rock and roll.
The only ones together are Drew and Ashema, who are talking in the center of the room. The disciples are all clustered together, staring at the walls and the ceiling. A group of giggle girls are standing around Drew and Ashema.
A group of toughs are standing at one side of the party room, observing everything that's going on.
ANGLE ON DREW AND ASHEMA
DREW:
Great party... Ashema smiles a sheepish smile. Drew decides that if they are going to have a good time, he's going to have a hand in it. He pulls out a cassette tape, gives it to Ashema DREW (CONT'D) Play this when I signal, OK?
She nods and walks off. Drew motions for Gao and the guys to come over. They do, and when they do, Drew turns to the giggle girls DREW (CONT'D) Ladies, allow me to introduce my best friends in all of China... He drags Gao over to one of the prettier girls.
DREW (CONT'D) This is Gao. And this wild man is Li... Drew does the same for Li, Wu, Su, Sou and all the others, forcing them to stand with the girls for a moment. When everyone is paired off, he motions to Ashema.
DREW (CONT'D) Hit it!
INSERT of Ashema's finger on the tape player "PLAY" button.
ANGLE ON THE ROOM As the song the disciples have been singing in the fields blasts out. Immediately, the disciples start moving with the music, and suddenly the Party is happening.
