Sequel to Lucio Fulci's first 'White Fang' has the wolf-dog once again trying to stop the villainous Beauty Smith from claiming a recently discovered gold mine in 1899 Yukon, Canada.
Curator's Take
“The sequel to Fulci's hit. More snow, more wolves, more villains getting chewed up. It’s a direct continuation that offers exactly what the audience wanted: reliable adventure.”
