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.

His body moves with the wind, bending and swaying. Another monk is attacking him with a hard style, and the soft style is very effective.
Drew and Li try it, and Drew is having a lot of trouble. He is used to training hard style, and the soft style seems too weak for him. D.S. comes over.
DREW:
It's not fighting – I feel like I'm dancing or something... This soft stuff is unnatural – Fighting should be hard, tough... The D.S. holds out his hand, in a tight fist.
D.S.
If my hand was always like this, what would you call it?
DREW:
(after a beat) Deformed.
He opens his hand, letting it go limp.
D.S.
And if it was always like this?
DREW (CONT'D) Again, deformed.
The D.S. nods and walks off, leaving Drew to stare questioningly at Li.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF TEMPLE COURTYARD, WHERE ALL THE DISCIPLES ARE COLLECTED.
They are not dressed in their monastic robes, however. They are in street clothes.
It is their day off!
A monk comes down the line, handing out hats to the disciples. They put them on, and wait for instructions from the D.S.
D.S.
Remember, let no one know you are disciples at the Shaolin Temple, but do not forget that you are. Dzai Jyan.
They file out.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – SAME DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF THE DISCIPLES EXITING THE TEMPLE.
As soon as they are out, the serious faces break into smiles, and they are teenagers again. Some of the disciples run off to join relatives waiting for them in the courtyard, while a group of them stick together.
Drew is walking with Li, Wu and several others.
ANGLE ON THE GROUP As they walk through the small town outside of the temple.
They pass by Ashema's stand, but only the Bau Bau is there.
Drew bows to the Bau Bau, then slips off his hat, rubbing his bald head for Bau Bau to see. Bau Bau laughs, and the rest of the guys rush up to Drew, forcing his hat back on his head.
LI:
Drew! We're not supposed to...
