Jack Black appeared surprisingly during a box office success function A movie Minecraft The weekend to ask fans not to throw popcorn.
This is because during the movie, there is a scene in which Jack Black’s character sees how a zombie baby falls on a chicken and shouts: “Chickn Jockey!”, And the audience crashes. Screams, uncontrolled laughs and popcorn flying throughout the room.
For those who are not familiar with the term, a “chickn jockey” (poultry rider), that is, a zombie baby mounted on a chicken, is one of the rarest phenomena of the Minecraft video game.
In videos published on social networks, you can see Black (55) entering a movie theater with a microphone, shortly before the movie begins.
“During today’s function of A Minecraft movieplease, nothing to throw popcorn, nothing of Lapislázuli and absolutely nothing to scream: ‘Poultry rider’, ”he says, while teaching Steve’s peak and fans begin to realize that he is.
Last week, the director of the film, Jared HESS, responded to the trend related to the “poultry rider” and said that it has spent entire nights watching videos of the fans reacting to that already other moments of the film.
“It has been crazy,” HESS said in dialogue with Entertainment Weekly. He added: “It has been a lot of fun. People send me hilarious speeches that many teenagers pronounce just before the movie begins. It is to die of laughter. I stay awake until too late watching them.”
On Sunday, Township Theater, a New Jersey cinema, published a statement on Facebook through which he reported that, from now on, minors must attend accompanied by a responsible father or adult to the functions of A Minecraft movie. The measure arises after an “unfortunate situation” that occurred during Saturday’s projection.
Fans from all over the country have been so euphoric that even a video was disseminated in which the police went to a function to deal with some spectators that were generating a lot of fuss.
“It’s weird when you’re having fun too and call the police,” HESS said.

In social networks, many fans shared that they witnessed, or lived in their own flesh, moments of collective euphoria during the “poultry rider” scene.
“I just came out of watching the movie and confirmed that everyone in the room shouted at the same time ‘Poultry rider!’ During that moment.
In contrast, some cinemas employees resorted to Tiktok to ask the public to keep the order during functions and avoid leaving trash or generating disturbances in the rooms.
“I work in a cinema. Please, don’t be annoying. I was two days after the premiere and it was a nightmare. There is nothing wrong with the important moments, but they do not start screaming rudeness,” an employee asked.
