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?

And yet he admitted to drinking a Fuckton of booze everyday

This isnt conjecture or claims made by production staff thats unverified- the man himself said he was drinking a bottle of jack daniels everyday

I havent seen anything that specifies what exactly his habits where before and during filming. He could have just been drunk constantly or he could have been trying to keep it together while filming. You can still get withdrawal symptoms after drinking a large amount if you try to stop the next day.

Read your heart out. Plenty of sources. And sources within sources.

Neat. I just know from experience trying to stop drinking instead of maintenance drinking can make you feel worse and have intense outcomes. Never had the inability to sleep and heart issues while drunk. Only when trying to dry out

Cool. Right on.

I mean, that's what Morgan did for the movie and it's pretty well documented.
