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.

Drew walks up to the front of the temple, looks around for a moment, then takes a drink of water from the well out front.
Just as he starts to drink, a huge TOUR BUS pulls up in front, air brakes HISSING. Before he can react, the doors open and a bunch of AMERICAN TOURISTS pile out of the bus and rush into the temple, jostling Drew from side to side.
TOURIST 1 Not another temple!
TOURIST 2 Do they have a gift shop?
TOURIST 3 Guide! How do you say 'gift shop'?
GUIDE:
You have 10 minutes to be back on the bus.
The wave of tourists passes Drew, and he stands there looking after them. Then, as a group, they realize that they just passes a monk, and turn back to Drew.
TOURIST 1 A real live monk! Somebody, take my picture!
The tourist runs up to where Drew is and stands next to him. The cameras click and whirr, and Drew is thoroughly embarrassed. When the first pictures are over, and someone else wants to stand next to him, he raises his hands up to his face and bows.
DREW:
Oh Mi Two Fwo He then turns and walks away.
GUIDE (O.S.) Monks don't like to be bothered, they are from a different world.
DREW:
I'll say... EXT. WATERFALL – EARLY MORNING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF THUNDERING WATERFALL.
Drew stands at the side of the waterfall, studying his map. From his expression, we know that he has to go through the waterfall to get where he is going.
Drew pockets the map, checks that the box is safely in place, then starts toward the waterfall. The drop off the side of the waterfall is incedible – steep and deadly.
ANGLE ON DREW: As he enters the waterfall. The water hits his back, almost pitching him into the abyss. Drew concentrates and moves forward, slowly but surely.
He emerges on the other side, only to be confronted by a swamp. Jutting out of the swamp are rocks and tree stumps.
Drew examines the distance between the objects, realizing that he can jump from place to place and make it across.
DREW:
Just like at the temple... He starts out, jumping onto the first stone, then moving on to the others. He almost falls a couple of times, but regains his balance. He gets a rythm going, and is soon almost halfway across.
He gets to one particular rock, only to find out that it's the head of an alligator! Its mouth opens to bite him!
Drew jumps off it quickly, onto a tree stump. When he lands on the stump, he examines it carefully to make sure it isn't something else.
He continues across, more careful this time.
EXT. MOUNTAINSIDE – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW CLIMBING UP THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.
It is much steeper now, and the going is much tougher.
ANGLE ON DREW: As he comes up onto a rope bridge over a deep gorge, the way to the arhat. Drew smiles, stashes the map and starts across the rope bridge, hand over hand. He looks down once, at the DROP, then forces himself to look straight ahead.
He just starts across when the rope bends and jumps. Drew turns around to see a man RIGHT BEHIND HIM.
