Oh here's a good one, from "night of the living dead.

***Spoiler***

After spending the entire film (an entire night) battling with the undead in a remote house, being horribly wounded, traumatised and having to not only watch his comrades fall and get their brains eaten, but then smash their heads in when they rise again as zombies, the hero somehow survives until dawn. People elsewhere have managed to organise a defence and are now patrolling, picking off any stray zombies. Two guys in a car spot the hero in a distant window, mistake him for a zombie and shoot him in the head...

Bolivar(?) from The Thirteenth Warrior. Dying from poison he drags himself forth to rally his troops and fight the final battle. He expires on a throne of their shattered defenses, a king even in death. Such is the stuff of legends.

Buliwyf. He was Nordic, not from South America!

Yeah, I knew it was wrong but that was the only thing that came to mind (call it a brain-fart). I haven't seen the movie in a while and I knew someone would correct it. Thanks.

Best ever death?
Would be quietly in my sleep, just like my grandfather.
Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car

I think that may have been an attempt at social commentary, though, I can't really say.
