Jack Black Says ‘No Chicken Jockey,’ Surprises A Minecraft Movie Audience
Jack Black recently surprised an audience ahead of a screening of A Minecraft Movie, asking the crowd to have fun but also ask them to not be too rowdy during certain scenes.
What does Jack Black say to the A Minecraft Movie audience?
Videos captured by fans show the theater asking audiences to not throw popcorn or get too rowdy. The audience was then surprised as the voice was revealed to be none other than Jack Black. Black came out wielding a pickaxe, and telling fans that there should also be “absolutely no chicken jockey” as the audience got excited and began cheering for Black.
Black’s references call to the ongoing trend of audiences going wild during certain scenes of the movie. Most notably, one scene late in A Minecraft Movie sees Jason Momoa fighting against a chicken jockey, a child zombie riding a chicken. During the scene, audiences have begun filming themselves throwing popcorn, celebrating, and more.

Jennifer Coolidge also stars in the movie in an undisclosed role. Based on the best-selling Mojang Studios video game, the film is produced by Momoa, Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson, and Vu Bui.

“Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits — Garrett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers), and Dawn (Brooks) — find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination,” the synopsis for the film reads. “To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”
