A Minecraft Movie: Police Intervenes as Viral TikTok Trend Causes Mayhem in Theaters
A new TikTok trend named 'Chicken Jockey,' which is based on a scene from A Minecraft Movie, is going viral online. The film, based on the popular video game Minecraft, debuted in theaters on April 4, 2025. The Jason Momoa film had a bumper opening weekend, surpassing the 2023 flick The Super Mario Bros' record for the biggest opening for a video game film adaptation.
The 'Chicken Jockey' TikTok trend is taking over social media, leading to chaos in theaters. This disruption in the theaters caused by moviegoers has also reportedly led to intervention from the police authorities.
The line 'Chicken Jockey' is said by Jack Black in a ring-fight scene. In the scene, Jason Momoa's Garrett Garrison can be seen ready to face off a chicken when he looks up at the crate hanging over the latter. The crate opens, following which a baby zombie drops on the chicken. Just then, Black's character, Steve, says, 'Chicken Jockey,' and the baby zombie storms toward Momoa.
The scene is a reference to the baby zombie characters in the game, who can be found riding chickens at times. According to Fandom, 'Chicken jockeys are the rare appearance of a baby zombie, baby zombified piglin, baby zombie villager, baby husk, or baby drowned riding a chicken.' There is a 0.25% chance for a baby zombie to turn into a chicken jockey.
Based on a clip posted by DiscussingFilm on X (formerly Twitter), after the particular line is uttered by Black in the scene, people in a theater are heard shouting and throwing popcorn, which has led to police authorities escorting individuals out of the cinema (via Comic Book Resources). Here are a few reactions to the 'Chicken Jockey' trend from A Minecraft Movie:
Apart from Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the movie stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge, among others, in key roles. The film has received lagrely mixed reviews from critics.

New Photo of Taylor Swift at Intimate Wedding Surfaces on Friday
New Photo of Taylor Swift at Intimate Wedding Surfaces on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A new photo of Taylor Swift has been circulating on the Internet. This time, at a wedding. The candid photo, originally posted by @paigedoeswhatshewants on TikTok on Friday but was deleted an hour after it was posted, shows Swift having a conversation with two other people wearing a sleeveless baby blue midi dress with pink flowers and a pair of brown wedges. Her wavy hair was worn down and she seemed to be wearing a simple gold bracelet on her wrist. The creator who posted the photo put the 35-year-old singer's song "So High School" in the background, which is the 22nd song from her latest album "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." "not taylor swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding..." the creator wrote. Though the "You Need to Calm Down" singer has been trying to keep a relatively low profile since the end of her "Eras Tour" in December 2024 and after her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in February, she has been spotted quite frequently these past couple of weeks. On Wednesday evening, the couple was seen enjoying a dinner date at Buccan in Palm Beach, with Swift wearing a black mini dress and a pair of nude wedges. Then on May 23, they were spotted eating together at Harry's Bar and Restaurant, sitting side-by-side in a booth and enjoying their night. Last Friday, the singer revealed that she purchased the rights to her first six albums: her self-titled debut, "Fearless," "Speak Now," "Red," "1989" and "Reputation." This means that the 35-year-old singer owns every single recording, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it. "All of the music I've ever belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work." Amid the exciting news of Swift's major announcement, this photo quickly sparked conversation among fans. Though details about the event remain limited, the image alone was enough to set social media story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Amazon Prime! Jeff Bezos shuts down NYC street to get furniture delivered to penthouse via crane: video
Must be a perk of Prime. A stretch of Fifth Avenue was closed for a massive delivery to Jeff Bezos' sprawling NoMad penthouse, according to a mind-blowing video shared on TikTok. A huge piece of wrapped furniture dangled from a rope as a crane last week slowly hoisted it above the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, which was lined with caution tape, barricades, machinery and moving company trucks. 4 Jeff Bezos shut down part of 5th Avenue so a crane could deliver furniture to his NYC penthouse. William C Lopez/New York Post Dozens of workers milled about, directing traffic and joining passersby in watching as the item neared the top of 24-story 212 Fifth Ave., where Bezos reportedly owns five apartments spanning the top four floors worth $119 million. Raffi Arslanian, the owner of luxury candle company Thompson Ferrier, caught the commotion on camera Saturday. 'You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you,' said Arslanian, whose office is a block away. 4 Bezos owns five apartments in a NoMad building that overlooks Madison Square Park. Dave Benett/amfAR/Getty Images for amfAR 'I think we all can relate to this,' he joked. 'Now back to reality, where, when we move, we get a U-Haul and we do it ourselves, or at best, we get a company to do it — but we don't close the street,' Arslanian quipped. 4 Bezos owns the top four floors of the building. William C Lopez/New York Post His video has garnered more than 970,000 views and thousands of comments, some speculating about what giant object the crane was transporting. 'It's a hot tub,' said one commenter. A grand piano, suggested another. 4 A TikTok video of the scene went viral. thompsonferrier_nyc/ TikTok Others were more interested in how much the operation cost. Large-scale moves using cranes can cost upwards of $20,000 a day, according to reports, and require permits to shut down the streets. 'Amazon prime delivery, billionaire subscription,' one TikToker joked. 'We would all do the same if we had 100 billion dollars,' another remarked. Bezos, worth an estimated $223 billion, according to Forbes, between 2019 and 2021 plucked up one unit after another in the former office tower overlooking Madison Square Park.
