With two simple words, Jack Black changed the pop culture landscape: “Chicken Jockey!”
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the electric energy stirred by lines from the blockbuster “A Minecraft Movie”. This flick, helmed by Jared Hess (of “Napoleon Dynamite” and “Nacho Libre” fame), is inching towards a staggering $1 billion at the box office. It’s not just the catchy chants of “I am Steve!” or “Let the water bucket go!”, but it’s that indelible character, the Chicken Jockey, that’s left the most lasting impression. The meme-worthy moments have been plentiful, but nothing quite compares to the seismic impact of this feathery hero!
In the game, the character referred to as The Chicken Jockey is an exceptionally rare monster that appears under specific circumstances. In the movie, this character starts off looking innocent but later turns out to be a formidable enemy. It’s a cute baby zombie riding a chicken, similar to a knight on a horse. The appearance of The Chicken Jockey, signaled by Jack Black’s character Steve, has become one of the most memorable lines in A Minecraft Movie, causing viewers to get excited and munch on popcorn.
As a devoted cinephile, I’ve always been captivated by the Chicken Jockey scene in a way that leaves me pondering – what is it about this peculiar moment that strikes such a chord with so many viewers? To unravel the mystery behind this intriguing scene, I recently had the privilege of interviewing director Jared Hess. In our detailed conversation, we delved into the scene’s creation using exclusive behind-the-scenes materials like concept art and an early animatic of the scene. From obscure Minecraft references to deleted scenes that never saw the light of day, here’s a comprehensive exploration of everything you’ve ever wondered about the Chicken Jockey scene but dared not ask.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share that starting May 2nd, the Minecraft community can immerse themselves in an extraordinary event: the “A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition.” This unique experience invites fans to join in a sing-and-meme-along extravaganza, perfect for those who can’t get enough of the mines, crafts, and even the undead equestrian’s mischievous antics. So, gather some popcorn and prepare for an unforgettable night as we all cheer together in honor of our favorite Steve superfans at this Blocky Horror Picture Show!
