Curiosidades

Five Scouts is a 1938 Japanese war film directed by Tomotaka Tasaka. It won best film at the 1939 Kinema Junpo Awards and was nominated best film at the 1938 Venice International Film Festival.

Production

Five Scouts was the first significant Japanese feature film to depict the undeclared war in China. The government of Japan, eager to have films made which exalted the war effort, turned to Nikkatsu Studios because of their experience and expertise in making action films - even though they were usually in historic settings. Neither director Tomotaka Tasaka nor screenwriter Ryozo Kazahara had served in the Japanese Army.

Five Scouts was inspired by Japanese newspaper coverage released in the first month of the China Incident. The characters' names were taken from real-life Japanese soldiers named in the text.
