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 and Li rush for the statue and catch it, just before it tips over and smashes on the ground.
They look at each other, thanking their lucky stars the statue didn't fall. They start to throw the frisbee again, when Drew spots the D.S. coming towards them.
Drew stashes the frisbee in his shirt and grabs the brooms.
He tosses one to Li and they just begin sweeping again when the D.S. rounds the corner.
The D.S. knows something is going on, but they look so innocent.
D.S.
Sweep the main chamber, Drew.
DREW (CONT'D) Yes, master.
He bows and smiles goodbye to Li. He walks into the main training chamber.
INT. CHAMBER – SAME EVENING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WALKING INTO THE CHAMBER.
This is the chamber where they had their first workout, and Drew just stands there for a moment, soaking up the tradition of it.
He walks to an area of the chamber under the famous painting and stands staring at it.
QUICK CUTS to different ANGLES of the painting.
ANGLE ON DREW: Who begins to sweep.
His broom is going over the depressions where the monks train, and soon he loses his desire to sweep. He takes the broom in his hand as a weapon and starts to spin it, going through a martial arts form, his feet moving naturally into the depressions in the floor.
He finishes with a flourish, having moved into a shadowy area in a corner, and then bows to an imaginary crowd, using the broom as a microphone.
DREW:
(imitating an announcer) Presenting, the greatest fighter in the history of the Shaolin temple... Drew Carson!
Drew holds his broom over his head, nodding his head to the imaginary crowd.
DREW:
The crowd is going wild.
Just then, out of the shadows comes an attacking staff, SLAMMING into Drew's unprotected stomach!
Drew, ready to double over in pain, hears the staff hit the frisbee, and stands up straight, adjusting the frisbee that saved his stomach.
Before he can react, the staff SMACKS him in the back of the head and sends him pitching to the floor.
ANGLE ON DREW: As he lands face down in the pile of dust and dirt he already swept up.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – EVENING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF TEMPLE COURTYARD, THE SUN SETTING IN THE DISTANCE.
Drew is standing in front of a painting-statue of Bodhidharma, one in which he is made to look extremely fierce.
