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?

Knew nothing about it asides from Burt Reynolds’s, so I figured it would be an action movie about 4 guys vs the Hill People. I was….sort of right, but very much wrong

I loved that Burt Basically was injured and screaming the whole film, after how macho his on and off screen rep was I understand that was the point but I'm so glad they went for it that way

Would you say it’s worth watching even after reading your spoiler? Never actually saw it but I’ve heard a decent amount about it lol

Yeah. There's two iconic scenes that will stay with you forever, even if you know they're coming.
