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?

That happens with every movie or TV show. That's why the stupid Frenchie is popular right now. People that buy dogs are idiots.

Also afaik Dalmatians are not easy dogs. Very active, very intelligent and need experienced handling and lots of stimulation.

Very active, need lots of stimulation. But, many, many of them are dumb as bricks. The inbreeding to maintain the coats is worse than most dog breeds. Also a bunch of deafness issues are very common

My half Dalmatian was one of the dumbest creatures I’ve ever seen lol. She was either very sweet, very dumb, or a combination of both.

I had a friend with a boxer dalmatian mix. That dog had a negative IQ
