The film, and Gordon Gekko in particular, has a notorious fandom who took the wrong messages from the film. Michael Douglas said that every time a broker said he went to Wall Street after seeing him as Gordon Gekko, he gets a little sad. On the DVD, Douglas and Oliver Stone say the 2008 financial crisis was caused by those Gordon Gekko wannabes, while saying people should have gone for Bud Fox instead. The movie is oft-cited as an inspiration to people who went on to earn MBAs, despite the film's explicitly anti-greed message. The villain of the film is sometimes not even recognized as such by his fans-as in, they don't realize he's supposed to be the bad guy. Many white collar crime perpetrators have said that they loved Gekko and were inspired by him.
