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.

DISSOLVE TO: EXT. TEMPLE – SAME DAY MONTAGE OF SHOTS OF OTHER DISCIPLES – GAO, LI AND WU MAKE IT THROUGH, JOINING THE OTHERS AS FULL-FLEDGED FIGHTING MONKS.
Drew is there each time to embrace them and congratulate them.
EXT. TEMPLE – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF SAN DE AND D.S. STANDING BEFORE THE ASSEMBLED DISCIPLES.
There are a few missing from their ranks, monks who did not make it through the chamber, but the majority of them are there. The entire temple is gathered to watch the ceremony.
他们队伍中有一些人失踪了，僧侣们没有穿过房间，但他们中的大多数都在那里。整个寺庙都聚集在一起观看仪式。
San De and D.S. are dressed in elaborate ceremonial robes.
After he goes through some complicated ceremonial movements, including the waving of smoking incense over them, San De spreads his hands
SAN DE:
You are now Shaolin. We welcome you into our ranks as fighting monks... A roar rises from the assembled monks, and fireworks go off all around.
ANGLE ON REAR OF COURTYARD Where a huge red sheet is pulled back to reveal tables laden with Chinese dishes, wine and other foods.
The party gets going and is soon in full gear.
ANGLE ON DREW, GAO AND LI As they congratulate themselves, and gorge themselves on the huge tables of Chinese food.
ANGLE ON THE ENTIRE GROUP They are enjoying themselves.
This only happens once every couple of years, and the monks are intent on enjoying themselves.
ANGLE ON SAN DE (DREW'S POV) Who is walking towards the side of the temple, away from the party.
ANGLE ON DREW: Who sees him leave. He excuses himself from his group.
CUT TO:
EXT. BAMBOO GROVE – SAME EVENING ANGLE ON SAN DE: Who is walking in the bamboo grove, his hands behind him. Drew walks up to him and they bow.
SAN DE:
Congratulations.
DREW:
I wouldn't have made it through without you.
(beat) You once asked why I came here, why did you let me in?
SAN DE:
Do you remember the story you heard about the monk who would not leave?
DREW:
Yes.
SAN DE:
That monk was me.
ANGLE ON DREW: Who digests this. He smiles a little.
SAN DE (CONT'D) I would like to ask a favor.
DREW:
Anything.
SAN DE:
Before you leave for American, can you help at an international tournament in Beijing? The Shaolin temple has an entry, and he will be fighting men from all over the world – I'd like you to be there.
