    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America. Only a mere handful have taken place, mostly by animals infected with rabies. Joggers, hikers, and people who have stumbled upon wolf cubs and dens are the primary victims of attacks. Wolves attacking a group of adults capable of defending themselves is unheard of, although wolf attacks are more prevalent in certain parts of Asia and historical Europe.
    • Goofs
      Fastening a shotgun shell to a stick does not work as well as depicted. In the MythBusters (2003) Season 12's Bullet Baloney (2014), the team demonstrated that the human arm simply can't thrust the stick hard enough to set off the shell. A pointy stick, by itself, would make a more effective weapon.
    • Quotes
      • [repeated lines]
      • Ottway: Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day.

      There's a scene after the end credits.
