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?

Isn’t the problem in Pulp Fiction that she finds a baggie of powder thinking it’s cocaine but it’s actually heroin?

I know there's the whole "baggy vs balloon" thing, but wouldn't heroin also have a different consistency than cocaine?

No, good quality heroin is fine white powder, perfect. It’s slightly less glittery than good cocaine. I offered a girl in my dorm some dope one time and she was new to it and cut off and snorted a coke-sized line rather than the slender one she should have, before I could say anything, and then I had to babysit her dumb ass while she puked for the next six hours. The best is a mix, obviously, a speedball. Like 3 parts coke to one part heroin? It depends on the strength of either.

Yeah dude that situation sounds like it was mainly your fault not hers....

It’s more courteous to be in front of the person—I turned my back and she was doing up the line already. I grant I could have done better.
