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.

KIM:
A mountain lion doesn't ponder his weakness, and is therefore vulnerable.
TREVOR:
(after a beat) Well, I'm pretty damn tired of this fortune cookie crap.
(beat) You're history. Chaunce, get ride of the bum.
The butler, CHAUNCY, comes forward and walks up to Master Kim.
CHAUNCY:
Very good, sir.
TREVOR:
Don't come here any more, you hear? Over a little more to the left, Sam.
The masseur nods and adjusts his technique accordingly.
TREVOR (CONT'D) It's hard being me, you know. So much pressure... EXT. COLISEUM – DAY People are streaming into the large building. The marquee out front reads "Diamond Nationals".
INT. COLISEUM – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING MONTAGE OF TOURNAMENT: CROWDS AND COMPETITORS.
(SOME IDEAS, NOT IN ORDER) Competitors warming up (wall front stretch, very high; one guy kicking another in the head – tap, tap, tap; two man routine practicing – another one jumps in?; two beautiful girls sparring; crowd assembling; group of kids waiting – call comes over public address system, they run off; stand outside selling high tech equipment; different styles of fighter's clothes – camo, stars & stripes, "headhunter"; stern 9 year old girl doing kata; two toddlers barely seen through their safety equipment fighting furiously; two twins doing identical kata; breaking; etc.) ANGLE ON DREW AND KWAN Walk into the area – Drew is dressed in the ill-fitting handmade suit by Mrs. Rodriguez. People recognize him as he walks past.
ANGLE ON TREVOR: Making his entrance. He is in a perfectly laundered and pressed suit, and his assistant is carrying another suit pressed and ready to go.
COMPETITOR: Hey, Trevor! What's the 2nd uniform for?
TREVOR:
The finals.
COMPETITOR: (after he's gone) Cocky bastard... ANGLE ON TREVOR: As he wins a fight.
ANGLE ON DREW: As he wins.
ANGLE ON TREVOR: Drew watching, as he wins again.
DREW AGAIN: Winning. The stage is set for the finals.
ANGLE ON THE RING Drew and Trevor are already inside, waiting. Drew fights in a mish mosh of gear (different colors, different makes), while Trevor is decked out in designer, personalized gear.
ANNOUNCER: Fighting for the Grand Championship: Trevor Gottitall and Drew Carson. 3 rounds, max point. Gentlemen, bow to the ref, to each other... The referee gives them a signal and the fight begins. Drew is holding his own, but Trevor is scoring. After several flashy moves, the round is over.
Score:
6 - 1. We see Trevor's cheerleaders cheering.
ANGLE ON TREVOR'S CORNER Where he is given mineral water to drink, his shoulders are massaged, etc.
ANGLE ON DREW'S CORNER Kwan sheepishly offers him a sip of water from a battered paper cup.
2nd round: Drew's getting beaten worse than the first round. Nothing he tries works. The score at the end of the round is 15 - 4, in favor of Trevor.
ROUNDBREAK: Drew is exhausted, frustrated and worried. Trevor is pumped and ready to go on forever.
KWAN:
You only lose if you give up.
