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. Originally reported by Ishita Verma on ComingSoon.
