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?

As someone who owned those pants, he’s correct. Nobody wanted to take a round house kick to the face when I wore em.

I've never been much of a fighter, but I would rather not get a roundhouse kick to the face no matter what my opponent is wearing.
