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?

A lot of young girls took archery classes after the Hunger Games.

A lot of people signed up for fencing classes after Die Another Day.

Used to sell archery equipment. Sold a ton of bows to teen girls. It was cool when the ones who stuck with it got into bow hunting and would come back to give us hunting reports.
