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.
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.
