„Jack says it with such passion.“
The chicken jockey trend is currently ripping its way through any cinema showing A Minecraft Movie. For those of you who are blissfully unaware, this trend sees cinemas erupt in chaotic celebration when Jack Black, who plays Steve, utters the words „chicken jockey“ towards the end of the film. While it seems like a nuisance for staff and some fans, apparently the director, Jared Hess, loves it.
„It’s way too funny“, Hess says in an interview with The New York Times. „It’s been a total blast. I’m just laughing my brains out every time someone sends me a new video.“ I’ll admit that some of the videos are really funny, especially the ones where, during the ruckus, someone manages to climb onto their friend’s shoulders mimicking the chicken jockey just in time for the grand reveal; now that’s dedication.
