Warner Bros. movie boss Jesse Ehrman expressed surprise at the popularity of the 'chicken jockey' phenomenon from A Minecraft Movie, stating that it was discussed but not anticipated. He emphasized the need for the film to resonate authentically with gamers' experiences. This sentiment was echoed by director Jared Hess, who noted the enthusiastic audience reactions included popcorn throwing and even police involvement. The chicken jockey scene became a significant cultural touchstone, creating a celebratory atmosphere among fans, showcasing how gaming elements can enhance cinematic experiences.
I'd be lying if I said I knew that [chicken jockey] would be a thing, but it was something that we talked about.
You can't account for the emergent behavior and the things that people connect with; you just want to create a movie that feels fun and authentic.
It's weird when you're having too much fun and the cops get called. It's just literally cheering and throwing popcorn.
Yeah, it's hilarious. I've seen so many funny videos. It's great, especially when people are climbing on their friends' shoulders.
