just for the record
Just for the record the 12th cavalry regiment was dismounted not mechanised on 28 feb 1943,so the threat of swapping the horse for armour is irrelevant.There are many references to the Mexican campaign but they also dont hold water ,the 12th cavalry simply did not participate in the punitive expedition.The only history in this movie is the bonus march,which blends from real footage to modern footage almost fluidly.The film is a bit of fun and it is always nice to see the US army prior to Pearl Harbour.The Australian outback looks wonderful as economic alternative to expensive US location.You all probably think i hate this movie but i actually really like it,its just not a true story and HBO should know better,but its cavalry and it will have to do until someone makes a movie based on Marsmen In Burma.Thanks for your time,allons.

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT MOVIE
Quite a sleeper - never heard of it - but what a great movie !!

Recommeded, with some Reservations...
Taking into consideration the fact that most Americans don't know anything about the U.S. Army, let alone the state of the U.S. Army in the years preceeding World War II, "In Pursuit of Honor" is worth watching.

The film is supposed to be "based on an actual event", but in all actuality, the storyline is highly improbable. For example, I can't imagine the Army unloading a ton of ordinance (which, at that time, was much more expensive than it is today) in order to stop a herd of aging horses cross over into Canada, let alone a mechanized infantry unit pursing the same herd over half a continent. Those elements of the film basically make no sense.

However, the depiction of the War Bonus Protesters in Washington, although a small part of the film, is something that was real. That the Army still used mounted soldiers a that time was real. That the Armed Forces were unprepaired to do battle with the axis powers was real. That the Army was in transition to a more modern force under Roosevelt (who knew that the country would be at war within the decade) was real.

I suppose that if someone wanted to get really technical, certain aspects of the film aren't 100% accurate, like maybe the exact unit designation of the squadron wasn't right, but so what? Only a U.S. Army Cavalry devotee or a member of some mutual admiration society is going to care about this. Everyone else is going to assume that the cavalry oufit in this film is only one of other such outfits that were employed by the Army at that time.

I'd like to see more films made concerning this era and how it effected our Armed Forces, not just the Army. An understanding of this important period of time helps to explain how and why the magnatude of the U.S.'s present armed forces came to be.

I'd recommend this film with some reservations, but otherwise, I'd say that the period of time preceeding World War II and the state our our Armed Forces has been more effectively portrayed before, in more historically accurate films like "The Sand Pebbles".

real horse soliders
this was the kind of movie i grew with. it had a story and characters i could believe in. i cant seem to find any historical background on the storyline but that's not what matters. these were people dealing with issues of right and wrong. not of "whats in it for me". it dealt with the dirt and misery of commitment to an ideal. it was not full of sex and blood just for the schock value. the life of a calvary man was no picnic... when a person stands up for something that matters to them, it matters that they keep standing no matter what faces them at the end. that was the message i got from this movie and made me wish we had more movies like it. this was a wonderful change from car chases and blood just for bloods sake........maryann hughes

In Pursuit of Honor falters and then Flops
In Pursuit of Honor is a charade. Billed as a true story it isn't as the producer and writer later admitted. The costumes and props were semi-accurate. The horse furniture, weapons and personal equipment of the horse soldiers were right on with a couple of glaring exceptions. In 1935 enlisted men did not wear orniments on their campaign hats in the field and neither did officers. Those used in the film were grossly incorrect for any period. In 1935 EM wore knee length laced (engineer) boots with flexible uppers. The collar brass was too small, etc. ... Read more

Another Great Adventure...................
In this movie Jack has gone back to San Francisco and his friend Henry is mining his claim and caring for White Fang.
This story is mixed with Native American spiritualality and mysticism. They are in need of the white wolf (White Fang, or is it Henry?) to lead them to the caribou they are in need of to prevent starvation among their people.
This sequel is very entertaining with beautiful scenery.
A great family film.

Disney made this up.
I've read White fang and there is no mention of Myth of a White Wolf. Disney had to have a sequel, so they made up this story.

Great Family Movie
I have watched this movie a number of times and still find the story to be interesting. The simplicity and predictability of this movie makes it a great movie for younger elementary children, but there is enough plot and action to keep the family entertained. I enjoy the Alaskan setting and the images of the Haida village. There is a love story woven in with the young hero's role of finding the caribou and saving the village, but neither plot goes into anything overly sentimental or complicated.

I have used this movie in a fourth grade classroom to have them identify the main characters, the setting, the problem(plot), and the solution: things that are found in any good story, be it written or in a movie. They enjoyed the movie and it worked well for the assignment. This is a great family movie because it contains these basic story elements and does it well, making it watchable again and again.

White Wolf
All I can say is that this was a brillent movie. I'm glad i saw the 2nd White Fang first. The first one was a big turn off to me. The story is about a young man who is having some dificultly understanding the native americans beliefs. With the Help of White fang a a native american girl Henry begins to understand thier ways, but he is soon to discover that the native Americans life is in danger and only he and white fang can save them.

A little to lovey-dovey
White Fang-- Story about a wolf dog taken from the north, trained to be sled dog, goes into fighting rings, finds love

White Fang2: Myth of the White Wolf-- Movie about the master of White Fang, and an indian girl. White Fang is around a little.

White Fang2 had little to nothing about our all time favorite wolf-dog White Fang. It is mainly about his master, falling in love. I kept waiting for at least one scene with White Fang! The first movie was more like it.

This was a little boring, I don't really recommend it unless you like a lot of boring flirty romance, and little wolf. ... Read more
