Wissenswertes

Forever Friends or "號角響起" is a 1995 Taiwanese war-comedy film directed by Kevin Chu, starring Taiwan's popular "four little heavenly kings". With the raising popularity of the "four little heavenly kings" in Hong Kong, the Mandarin Chinese-language film was released in Hong Kong in 1996, under the new Cantonese title "四個不平凡的少年". It was dubbed in Cantonese, and the more comical title literally translates to "four uncommon young men", to cater to Hong Kong audiences.

Production

The film was commissioned by the Republic of China Army to serve as a training guide in army life, since Taiwan has an compulsory military service.

Jimmy Lin was the more popular of the "four little heavenly kings" and had an established fan base in Hong Kong in the mid 1990s. After the filming, Lin was required to serve his compulsory military service, which saw his popularity in both Taiwan and Hong Kong diminish when the film was released in Hong Kong.

After the finish of filming, the popular Taiwanese boyband Xiao Hu Dui, of which Nicky Wu and Alec Su were members, officially disbanded. The former members embarked on solo careers.

The film was released in Japan with Takeshi Kaneshiro billed as the main star due to his growing popularity in the country.
