Taking Family Vacations on “Duck Dynasty”; Testing JAWS on “Hollywood Weapons”; Testing Core Values on “Carter’s W.A.R.” and Finding Work in Mexico on “Friday Night at the Movies”
DENVER (March 30, 2017) – Outdoor Channel viewers will join new adventures with their favorite outdoorsmen and women during the week of April 3–9 as the Duckmen on Duck Dynasty celebrate hard work with a couple family vacations; from the classic movie JAWS Chief Brody and the hosts of Hollywood Weapons recreate a memorable scene; Ivan Carter confronts a lion poacher on Carter’s W.A.R. and the classic western film, All the Pretty Horses, closes out the week.
Starting the week are two episodes of Duck Dynasty. First, after all their hard work, Willie decides to take the entire Robertson clan on a family vacation to Hawaii. Then, for Willie’s birthday, Jase organizes a family trip to Lake D’Arbonne, a favorite hangout of the brothers in their youth. Hollywood Weapons is up next with back to back episodes. First, host Terry Schappert puts several weapons to the test in an underwater experiment from a scene from Criminal Minds. Next, in an iconic scene from JAWS, Chief Brody hangs onto his sinking boat as the giant great white shark approaches him with a scuba tank lodged in its mouth, so the guys construct a giant replica shark on a motorized platform to test if you can hit, and explode, the tank with an M1 Garand rifle.
Friday night on Carter’s W.A.R., investigating a string of murdered lions, Ivan gets to the heart of an ancient conflict between humans and these big cats, and the outcome will test Ivan’s own core values about cultural perspective and conservation. Then, Friday Night at the Movies ends the week with All the Pretty Horses. In this classic western, Texas cowboys head to Mexico in search of work, but find themselves in trouble with the law after one of them falls in love with a rancher’s daughter.
