Forever Friends or "號角響起" (lit: "sound the horns"; pinyin: Hao jiao xiang qi) is a 1995 Taiwanese war-comedy film directed by Kevin Chu, starring Taiwan's popular "four little heavenly kings" (Nicky Wu, Alec Su, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Jimmy Lin).[2] 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" (Sei goh bat ping faan dik siu nin). It was dubbed in Cantonese, and the more comical title literally translates to "four uncommon young men", to cater to Hong Kong audiences.[3]
