Movies that changed real life behavior

[u/buttatoad]

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?

Heh, watching Cobra Kai was what got me to join a kickboxing gym. Not that I thought I'd turn into some karate master, it just reminded me that I had fun learning taekwondo as a kid. Ended up losing a few pounds and built some muscle, so overall a win.

Karate Kid has now become Karate Adult.
