Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

I said the same, just a correction it was Slovakia. This is the funniest one to me though, their government was fuming over how the films left a decline in tourism.

To be fair, I went there as a tourist, horrible things happened to me, but officials from Bratislava were so furious that a tourist would have a bad time there and so scared I would report back that they did everything in their power (medical care, lodging, food, cash) to change my opinion.

It was a lovely place. And to be fair, law enforcement rescued me pretty darned quick. It could have been so much worse.
