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 stands next to the monk, watching him intently. Again, the monk takes no notice of him.
DREW:
Excuse me, Master.
No answer.
DREW (CONT'D) Hello? Busy, huh?
Still no answer. The man is just slamming his hand into the post, over and over.
Drew sighs and walks on. He goes down a path, and flowering bushes are on either side of him. He can see the "pagoda forest" in the distance. At the end of the path, a monk, SAN DE, is sweeping up the path.
Drew walks up to the monk and bows.
DREW (CONT'D) Master, may I ask you a question?
No answer nor response. Drew's kind of tired of this treatment.
DREW (CONT'D) What's the deal here? Is everybody deaf in this temple? Even if you heard me, you wouldn't understand, would you? Huh, baldy? Shine your head for a quarter?
He walks off frustrated, wondering what he has to do to get noticed. He walks back into the chanting chamber.
INT. TEMPLE – SAME DAY The monks are still chanting. Drew stands there, listening some more, moving with the beat, until they stop chanting.
Drew, thinking it was some kind of performance, claps his hands.
DREW:
That was great! Great!
The monks finally take notice of him, and they are shocked.
MONK 1 No tourists! Temple closed!
DREW:
So you can see me?!?
Several monks rush up and start herding Drew towards the exit.
MONK 1 (very agitated) No tourists! No tourists!
Drew stops their progress and makes sure he has the monk's attention.
DREW (CONT'D) I'm not a tourist! I want to be a monk!
The monk stops, his face a mask of shock. He calls to another monk, and they have a short conversation in Chinese.
ADMISSIONS MONK: That's not possible.
DREW:
What do you mean, sir?
ADMISSIONS MONK: The training is too difficult. Besides, Shaolin policy is no foreigners.
