Its not a difficult film to follow. The USA state of Alaska is in Canada. To be specific: USA West Coast-Northernmost state, Washington, borders with Canada British Columbia. Directly above the state of British Columbia, Canada, is Yukon state, Canada. West of Yukon state, Canada, borders once more with USA, state of Alaska of USA. Which is where one of two wolf stories, this one, White Fang, begins. THE OTHER WOLF STORY IS BUCK, aka: CALL OF THE WILD. Its an American story: HOWEVER: the word "Yukon" used by the characters in the film is instead a state in Canada. YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR PASSPORT TO CROSS FROM ALASKA TO YUKON. Another point is: (Using a map) You will notice that Jack London's story is superstitious: THE OWNER OF THE WOLF ALWAYS IS IN PERIL AT- WHAT PLACE IS NEVER CALLED BY NAME(name of city) "somewhere in the Yukon wilderness". Look at the map of Canada again: "Wilderness" is state EAST OF YUKON STATE what state extends NORTHWARD UNTIL THE NORTH POLE AREA. Once you realize this: You will know that the suspense/superstition is nothing more than walking in the Kalahari desert without using a tour agency. The Canada Government did not built roads nor cities in THAT PARTICULAR STATE OF Canada. HELL! IF THIS WAS WHAT THE USA GOVERNMENT DID WITH California WHAT THE Canada GOVERNMENT DID WITH N- STATE OF Canada THEN THE WOLF OWNER WOULD BE IN THAT SORT OF PERIL IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES CITY!!!

White Fang is a wonderful look at the relationship between a young man (Jack) and his dog. The Jack London tale tells of this unusual friendship as only he can tell it. Set in Alaska during the gold rush at a time when men were out to make their fortune in gold mining there comes a touching story of how Jack befriends a wolf being abused and used in those ruthless dog fights. They eventually bond with each other until Jack and his partner (Alex) strike it rich. Then it is time to say goodbye to the the wolf as both men return to civilization. The scene where Jack must depart from his dog is so touching it hurts to watch.Ethan Hawke, a young actor I have always admired, plays Jack. He gives a touching performance filled with honesty and reality. His partner, played by Klaus Maria Brandauer, is wonderful as his friend. He too gives a masterful performance, simple and touching as well. James Remar (Beauty) is wonderfully evil as the man using White Fang to bait the dog fights. And of course there is White Fang, played by a dog named Red. He steals the show as they say. A truly wonderful adventure film with excellent acting, gorgeous scenery of Alaska and well written and directed from the Jack London novel. One of the best.

OMG OMG OMG I am SOOOO excited I finally FINALLY have the ORIGINAL (RARE) White Fang Soundtrack!!!!!!! YAY! :D I am in heaven. It must have been Divine intervention lol. I actually got it. It turned out to be a bootleg copy that someone made out to look like an original, but I don't care. The music...omg it has like 51 tracks of nothing but wonderful Basil's White Fang score (yes the ENTIRE score of the 1991 film, not #2). SOOOO awesome. Anyway, enough bragging lol.The movie is such a wonderful experience too. Jed the malamute is SOOOOOO frickin awesome. He was my ultimate dream-dog hehheh. True enough to the orig story to be worthy of the title White Fang. The scenery combined with Basil Poledouris music alone makes this movie a personal favorite.Hey, if anyone is desperate for a copy of the White Fang soundtrack (ALL tracks composed by legendary Basil Poledouris), I would be happy to help you out...knowing how much this score meant to me and searching for it all these years without any luck...until now! I believe music like this wasn't meant to be kept hidden away in the vaults of greedy corporations who only see music as numbers/sales/$$$ and don't understand or care how deeply some music can touch the soul and inspire.asoulwithpaws (at) y a h o o (dot) com :)

WHITE FANG, in my opinion, is a very touching movie that's well-acted about a special friendship for all ages that will warm your heart. When White Fang became orphaned, I felt like crying. However, I really loved the relationship between Jack (Ethan Hawke) and White Fang. If I could have, I would have loved to have been friends with the animal. In addition, I liked the other animals, too. The score was good, the costumes were perfectly designed, everyone was cast perfectly, and the direction was flawless. In conclusion, I highly recommend this very touching movie that's well-acted about a special friendship for all ages to anyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for a real treat and a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with someone close to you, and watch it. I guarantee you you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
